Patent number: 10748361Abstract: A method of remotely controlling access to a resource. The method comprising receiving a plurality of signals from a remote key wherein the remote key only transmits the plurality of signals if the remote key is moving. The method further comprises estimating a first and a second position of the remote key based on a characteristic of a first and a second signal respectively, and unlocking access to the resource if the remote key is moving towards the resource based on the first and the second estimated position.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2019Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Ziming Zhu, Mohammud Zubeir Bocus

Patent number: 9258557Abstract: The disclosure concerns encoding of information, such as content information for streaming, in a scalable manner. That is, a base layer of encoded content can be supplemented by one or more enhancement layers as channel capacity allows. Definition of bounds for the base layer and the one or more enhancement layers is governed by long-term channel information, while selection of layers for transmission at a particular time is governed by short-term, or instantaneous, channel state considerations.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: February 9, 2016Assignee: Kabushiki Kaisha ToshibaInventors: Mohammud Zubeir Bocus, Justin Coon
