Improved Access to an IEEE 802.11 Digital Data Network (Instituto de Telecomunicacoes): U.S. Patent No. 9,717,455

Every Local Mobility Anchor (LMA) needs an uplink interface to an upstream network and several Mobility Access Gateways (MAGs) – fixed access points comprising a wired interface to the LMA and one or more MAGs. And, each Mobile Network Node (MNN) that comprises a wireless interface to one or more MAGs must connect to the access point so data packets arrive at the LMA and are destined to the MNN are routed and forwarded to the MNN through the MAGs.

The architecture covered by this patent is composed of:

The MAGs provide wireless networks to allow its users to connect to the backbone network. The wireless technologies available are IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/p and 3G/LTE. The MAGs allow extension of the network by connecting to MAGs or Wi-Fi networks, providing support for multi-hop capabilities over mobile access points.

U.S. Patent No. 9,717,104 for a “Method and system for providing data access to mobile network nodes of a data network” would enable any manufacturer of smart phones or provider of smart phone services to provide superior connectivity with other devices.

SmartPhone Movement Restriction (Combine Bridge): U.S., China, and Japan Patents

There’s an old joke about walking and chewing gum at the same time. But walking while talking or texting on a smartphone is not a joke. It can result in serious injuries – even death when a smartphone user walks into traffic. That is why it is illegal in most states to talk or text while driving. The reality is that walking while talking or texting on a smartphone can result in people not just bumping into each other, but bumping into walls, columns, trash bins, and furniture, falling down stairs and escalators, and tripping over curbs and steps.

This international patent portfolio creates a new layer of safety for smartphone users. When a person is walking or moving at a pre-determined speed, a warning signal first appears on the screen of the device. If the user continues to move, access to the smartphone – except for incoming calls – is restricted. When the user stops moving, the system displays a question on the screen of the phone. If the user answers the question correctly, the system removes the restriction, allowing full access to the smartphone. The system’s settings are programmed to the safety parameters of the smartphone owner. Employers can install restrictions on phones issued to employees, and parents can install the technology on the phones of their children or elderly parents. The technology can also be installed on wearable devices.

Patent Portfolio

This portfolio – or patents from the portfolio – can be used by smartphone manufacturers or cellular service providers to offer an added level of safety for their customers, as well as a new source of advertising revenue. It can also be used to create an app for smartphone owners.

Mobile-to-Electronic Device Communication (Brain Base): U.S. Patent No. 10,560,980

We like to think of ourselves as being “connected.” Our smart phone connects us to our friends by voice and text, to the Internet via WiFi, and to stores, the bank, and other places via an app. We are fully plugged in. Well, not really. Is your smartphone connected to your headphones? Does your PC connect to your Bluetooth speakers? Is your tablet able to connect to Alexa or Siri?

This patent completes the final missing link that would totally connect all of us to each other and all of our IOS® or Android™ and Windows® and Bluetooth® hardware and accessories. It enables any mobile device – smartphone, tablet, PC, laptop, personal digital assistant (PDA), or smart watch – to communicate with any electronic device – headphones, earphones, speakers, smart beacons, your car, household appliances, your smart mail box, and many gadgets and apparatus. It enables multiple connections between and among devices, it can be configured for automatic switching on and off and among devices, and it has wireless audio applications.

U.S. Patent No. 10,560,980 for a “Method for controlling wireless communication between a mobile device and an electronic device” would permit any Internet-of-Things vendor or smart phone, PC, laptop, tablet, or PDA manufacturer to have its products finally be truly “connected.”

Landscape Video from Portrait Position (Siu): Two U.S. Patents and Continuation

Video generated from smart phones has become a common fixture in today’s world – both for personal occasions and recording third-party events. But once a video is taken, it cannot be taken again, and sometimes the video would have been more demonstrative and inclusive if it had been shot in landscape instead of the default portrait mode. But once the video is taken, that is what you have.

This patent family addresses that issue by enabling the user of a smart phone or other device with video-recording capabilities to switch to landscape mode when shooting video. When a smart phone user is shooting video, and he or she realizes that a landscape view would better capture the activity that is being videoed, the user can switch to landscape with the touch of an icon. The camera will switch from its portrait image sensor to its landscape image sensor so a landscape view of the area that is being shot will be recorded.

U.S. Patent Nos. 11,297,260 and 11,689,819 for a “Techniques for capturing video in landscape mode by a handheld device” would enable any manufacturer of smart phones or other portable devices with video capabilities to offer its customers two options for shooting in landscape orientation. It would allow users to capture landscape video and photos without having to rotate the cellphone and to change the capture mode from landscape to portrait and vice versa with one touch without having to change the handheld position of the device.

Digital Concierge (Blufield): Two U.S. Patents

You are in Chicago for a conference, but you are unfamiliar with the area. How do you find a good Italian restaurant? Back home, you are not up to date on all the new spots to entertain friends from out of town. How do you find just the right place? You’re on vacation in Miami. Where can you find live music? You are attending a major citywide event, like a race or festival. There are so many events going on. How do you decide which one to hit next?

All these questions can be answered today thanks to mobile technology. But each will require more time and effort than is necessary. Wouldn’t it be better and much easier if when you are in any town or city, your smart phone simply filtered and curated a personalized listing of activities and businesses that are of interest to you? The best take-out. Information about the local farmers markets. The new museums. The local gyms. A liquor store specializing in wine selections. Where to charge your EV. Places to take the kids. A pet-friendly motel. All the things you need, and nothing you do not need!

This patent family creates a real-time, location-based marketing experience within a singular mobile application that connects with those merchants that provide the products and services of specific interest to you. And because your interests and moods change, you can select your interests based on categories, or your current mood, allowing the mobile application to provide those options to you in real-time. NO time is wasted surfing the web and filtering out all the things of NO interest to you. This patent family also serves as the foundation for a singular super app, allowing for coupon redemption, in-app rideshare ordering, and providing directions to your desired location – this patent family addresses it all. Select your interests on the app and you are good-to-go.

This patent family includes U.S. Patent Nos. 10,021,626 and 11,051,236 for an “Apparatus, devices and methods for content distribution and access via object-motion tracking using a wireless communications network” and it will enable its acquirer to further customize the patent-protected technology.

Spectrum Shifting for Audio-Capable Devices (Sheymov): U.S. Patent No. 11,051,115

As the population ages, an increasingly larger and larger number of people have problems understanding voice communications over conventional telephones, smart phones, and other audio-capable devices. The solution has been to simply turn up the volume. The problem with just increasing the volume is that the unwanted portion of the audio spectrum is also amplified, creating unwanted noise that competes with the speech portion of the audio spectrum. To truly make audio that includes speech easier to understand, just the speech portion of the audio spectrum has to be made more audible.

To address this challenge, this patent covers technology that includes frequency “spectral shifting” or “re-scaling.” This shifting is performed by moving the entire input audio signal to a different location in the audio spectrum – one that is more audible to the user. When this is done to music it is known as “pitch shifting.” There are different implementations of this technology. It can be autonomous – that it, it is built into a telephone or other audio-capable communications devices – or it can be implemented remotely.

U.S. Patent No. 11,051,115 for a “Customizable audio signal spectrum shifting system and method for telephones and other audio-capable devices” would be a critical acquisition for any manufacturer of telephones, smart phones, conference call units, or other audio-capable products.

Sharper, Brighter Smart Phone Display (Zeppelin): U.S. Patent and Two Taiwan Patents

Every smart phone manufacturer strives to create a phone that is smaller and smaller, but with more and more features. Of special concern to smart phone OEMs is making the displays sharper and brighter, but to do so without increasing the size, weight, or cost of the device!

This portfolio addresses that specific need by creating a smartphone with iris detection and an advanced display that uses a thinner transparent panel on which a transparent antenna is formed to minimize the shielding effect. The display also uses a self-luminous panel - having the property of emitting light – to remove the back light module, thereby minimizing the thickness of the device. The design covered by this portfolio creates a computing device with a video display that has fluorescent substances formed between the electrodes for generating brighter and sharper color for display. The computing device also employs iris detection to perform user instructions.

This portfolio includes U.S. Patent No. 10,694,016 for a “Mobile phone with an eye illumination” as well as Taiwan Patent I443606 for a “Control system” and Taiwan Patent I442344 for a “Wireless sharing image method and the system of the same.” This portfolio would be a critical acquisition for a smart phone manufacturer looking for sharper and brighter colors for its displays. A Claim Chart is available upon request.

Higher Resolution Images over Limited Bandwidth (Bradium Technologies): Nine U.S. Patents

When two lanes of traffic are fed into a one-lane road, the flow of traffic slows down, and drivers have to wait. When too much data is fed into too little bandwidth, the same thing happens, and users must wait while the data they seek loads. Images use significantly more data than text, so sending and receiving photos and video can slow things down.

This portfolio addresses that issue head-on. It covers a network-based image-distribution system that more efficiently selects and distributes image parcels through a narrow or limited bandwidth communications channel. From the first patent that was granted back in 2006, this portfolio has been continually updated through to the latest generation of wireless technology with the newest patent that was granted just two years ago.

Patent Portfolio

This portfolio would be a strategic acquisition for any Internet mapping vendor, wireless phone manufacturer, or cellular services provider. Claim Charts are available upon request.

OLED Lighting for Smartphones (Zeppelin): U.S. Patent No. 10,313,630

Smartphones are getting smarter and smarter. And smaller and lighter. This patent advances the cause by providing an Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) display for a smartphone, replacing the LCD back light on the previous generation of phones. OLED lighting has a front substrate that has a conductive line and a rear substrate that has a second conductive line, and fluorescent substances are formed between the front and rear substrates. This creates self-luminance, eliminating the LCD backlight module.

This patent also covers an antenna located at the side of the rear transparent substrate to improve reception and transmission.

U.S. Patent No. 10,313,630 for a “Mobile phone with fluorescent substances” is a foundational smartphone patent. It has a 2007 Priority Date and 27 Forward Citations. Since the patent was granted, most smartphone manufacturers have caught up with this patent’s technology and use OLED lighting. Evidence-of-use for this patent is available upon request.

Find Your Lost Eyeglasses (Bronniman): U.S. Patent No. 10,276,028

Over 100 million Americans wear prescription eyeglasses, and another 200 million own sunglasses. The statistic we do not know is how many thousands of hours are lost in a lifetime looking for those eyeglasses? They are so easily misplaced, and they are always in the last place you look!

This patent creates a brilliantly simple technology for finding lost eyeglasses. A microchip and battery are implanted in the eyeglasses or sunglasses frame, and that chip communicates with a smart phone or other smart device via Zigbee® or other Smart Home networks. A five-year battery powers the system for well beyond the average lifetime of a pair of glasses. When the user cannot find his or her glasses, an app on the user’s smartphone, tablet, or other device directs that person to the eyeglasses’ current location. As a preventative measure, the technology can be set to notify the eyeglasses owner when he or she is more than a defined distance from the glasses. No more leaving your glasses at a restaurant, store, or the office!

U.S. Patent No. 10,276,028 for an “Eyeglass tracking system and method” will enable an eyeglass frame manufacturer to introduce – and profit from – the first significant innovation in eyeglasses since bifocals!

Find Photos of Your Favorite People (Zeppelin): U.S. Patent No. 9,277,086

Most people today use their smartphones as cameras. And the photos we now keep on our phones replace the photo albums of just a few years ago. The problem for most people is that it is so easy to take a photo, and so easy to store a photo, that we quickly end up with hundreds of photos. And that makes it difficult to find a specific photo, or photos of a specific person, among hundreds of photos we have.

The technology covered by this patent enables a smartphone user to more quickly find photos of a certain person – be it your husband or wife, your boyfriend or girlfriend, your son or daughter, or anyone else. The technology scans all of your photos, and sorts them into groups of the most popular persons. Once you identify a specific person – your fiancé, for example – the technology uses facial recognition to locate all photos of your fiancé. And, every time you take a picture that includes him, it is added to the group, enabling you to now search for photos by name – rather than having to scroll through hundreds of photos – to show your friends the man of our dreams.

U.S. Patent No. 9,277,086 for a “Photograph sorting method for portable communication device” would enable any smartphone manufacturer to add yet another level of added value to its products. This patent has a Claim Chart that is available upon request.

Secure Data Transfer via Touch Surface (Datca): U.S. and European Patent Portfolio

There is an immediate and ongoing need to quickly and securely transfer data between devices – smart phones, tablets, and styluses (or electronic pens) – as well as transferring financial data for purchases and other transactions. The current options – LAN, RF, Wi-Fi, NFC, cable, memory card, email and so on – all have their limitations and drawbacks. What has been needed for some time is a secure method for quickly and safely transferring data – a system that is affordable, easy to use, and one that a third party cannot interdict.

This Euro-American portfolio addresses exactly that need by enabling two devices to quickly and securely transfer data between them using a capacitive touch surface to transfer the data. A device is placed on a capacitive surface such as the screen of a tablet or a stylus and the two devices exchange identities via negative electronic signals. Once the identities are confirmed, and the data to be transferred is defined, the data is transferred safely and quickly, and totally secure from intrusion by any third party – unlike LAN, Wi-Fi, email or other data transfer methods that are not nearly as secure – nor as fast and easy-to-use. Financial information can be transferred for credit and debit card transactions using this technology.

Patent Portfolio

This portfolio would be a strategic acquisition for any PC, tablet, smart phone, and/or stylus manufacturer looking to create an added-value feature for its products as well as for any supplier of Point-of-Sales equipment that is prepared to introduce a faster and more secure cell phone-to-POS payment system.

Locating Lost Children and Adults (DBI Technologies): International Patent Portfolio

There are currently more than three million individuals with autism and more than six million with Alzheimer's disease in the U.S. alone. Each year, members of each group – especially those with autism who have a tendency to wander – get lost. Finding them quickly, before any harm comes to them, is an ongoing challenge.

What is clearly needed for a family with an autistic or special needs child, or an older person with limited cognitive abilities, is a reliable, affordable, easy-to-use technology that will quickly locate a missing child or adult. In addition, it should also prevent that person from getting lost in the first place. That is exactly what this portfolio does. The child or older person wearing the patented wearable device is electronically tethered to his or her caregiver. Once a contextual distance between the two is exceeded, the caregiver is notified immediately along with the location of the person as indicated on a map on his or her smartphone. If the child or adult has wandered beyond the RF range of the guardian's smartphone, the technology uses cell phone tower triangulation along with GPS coordinates to quickly locate the missing person. The technology can also be used to track children in a theme park or other large venue, and to track pets or packages.

Patent Portfolio

This portfolio would be a strategic acquisition for any cell phone manufacturer or cellular services provider to offer its customer base as an added-value product for those customers who care for autistic, special needs, or limited-cognitive-abilities persons.

Biometric/Smartphone Vehicle Locking/Unlocking (Ahmad): Two U.S. Patents plus Continuation

We’ve all locked ourselves out of our car at one time or another. Whether it is an older car with a conventional key, or a newer car that uses just a fob, we’ve all faced that stomach-churning moment when we realize we do not have the key. Or do not have it with us. Parallel to that is the reality that the smartphone we carry around with us does a lot more than just make and receive phone calls. We can use it to pay bills, facetime with grandma, and monitor the front door to our home. Why not also use our smart phone to unlock our car?

This patent addresses exactly that very logical concept. You ask your smartphone to unlock your car. It asks for biometric authorization such as a fingerprint, and it unlocks the car by communicating with a module attached to the vehicle. The invention can also be used to give access to a vehicle to a friend or co-worker, by share-riding services to confirm that a customer is really a customer, or to control access to autonomous vehicles. Biometrics is a key element because it prevents a bad guy from stealing your smartphone and then using your stolen smartphone to also steal your car! The patented invention uses NFC (near-field communications) so you just need to be near your car such as while you are walking to it in a parking lot or parking garage.

This portfolio includes U.S. Patent Nos. 10,343,650 and 10,604,115 for a “NFC system for unlocking a vehicle via smartphone biometric authentication” plus an open continuation. This property would be a valuable acquisition for a cell phone OEM or service provider, or for an automotive accessories aftermarket supplier, or for an auto company that wants to offer added security and convenience for its customers.

Distracted Driver Prevention (Bachmann): U.S. Patent No. 10,230,834

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that 2,841 Americans were killed in automobile accidents in 2018 (the latest year for which we have accurate numbers) that were caused by distracted drivers. All of these deaths – many were teenage drivers and their passengers – were caused by distracted drivers who were either talking or texting on their cell phones. Auto deaths in the U.S. from distracted driving is now the second most common cause of traffic deaths after drunk driving! The sad tragedy is that all of these deaths were 100% preventable.

There has to be a solution, and it is this U.S. Patent. This patent creates an app that uses location data analysis to accurately determine who is driving a vehicle and to restrict that person from using his or her mobile device. Unlike other products on the market, it determines who the driver of the vehicle is and specifically disables only the driver’s device and does not affect any passengers in the vehicle who are free to use their mobile devices.

Additionally, if status data is NOT received from at least one of the passengers in the vehicle in a predetermined period of time after a sudden impact or event that triggers the alarm, the system notifies the authorities that the vehicle may be disabled or in an accident and sends the vehicle’s GPS coordinates.

U.S. Patent No. 10,230,834 for “Applications, methods, and systems for preventing a mobile device user from operating functions of a mobile device while operating a motor vehicle” is a patent that can literally save thousands of lives. It would be an excellent acquisition by any cell phone manufacturer that wants to add value to its products, or an auto insurance company that wants to offer its customers – especially the parents of teenage children – a life-saving product!

Selective Call Acceptance (Cha): Five U.S. Patent Portfolio

Every office phone system (or PBX) enables users to block incoming calls. You are in a meeting or working on something that requires your full attention, so you can instruct the system to block all incoming calls and either send callers directly to voicemail or refer them to someone else in your organization. Gee, it’d be great if your cell phone had a “Do Not Disturb” setting.

Well, it can. This portfolio creates technology whereby a smartphone can block either all incoming calls or block selective incoming calls (based on the incoming number from the Caller ID function), and send those calls directly to voicemail without the phone ringing and disturbing the user. U.S. Patent No. 9,749,469 goes beyond cell phones and applies this technology to a call center telephone system. Also included in this portfolio is U.S. Patent No. 8,676,174 that enables a smartphone to retrieve content from a portable device via a voice command.

Patent No. Description
8,676,174 Easy call for content
9,338,292 Method and apparatus for selective silencing of telephone ringing
9,167,088 Method and apparatus for selective silencing of telephone ringing
9,497,321 Method and apparatus for selective silencing of telephone ringing
9,749,469 Method and apparatus for selective silencing of telephone ringing

This portfolio would be a valuable acquisition for any smartphone manufacturer or cellular service provider that is seeking to provide value-added services for its customers. A Claim Chart covering four of the patents in the portfolio is available upon request.

Creative Multimedia Messaging (Blades): International Patent Portfolio

Multimedia messaging has really taken off! Rather than just send a flat text message, users can combine images, graphics, fonts and colors in a single, creative message. Way back in 2009, the inventor of this portfolio first envisaged the far-reaching potential for more creative messaging options. The challenge, however, was to find a way to display a message on a receiving device in exactly the same format as it had been created on the sending device.

The resulting invention adapts screen capture to messaging. By capturing the screen content of a message that has been creatively designed, a JPEG image or other portable graphic file is produced. This file can then be transmitted as a multimedia message to any recipient, and will appear on a recipient’s device exactly as it was sent by the sender, regardless of the recipient’s hardware or operating system.

Post publication of the invention, the transformation away from plain texting began with the launch of color messaging apps in 2011. Today, creative multimedia messaging is popular and in common use, and it continues to transform the way we communicate.

This video was presented to key industry players in 2014. By incorporating a capture means to native messaging, it shows how a message having any content whatsoever can identically reach across platforms without the need for the sending and receiving devices to share common graphical assets.

This portfolio includes U.S. Patent No. 8,666,374 for a “Method and system comprising means to transmit an image of a message” as well as Canadian Patent 2820079, Korean Patent 10-1724777 and Australian Patent 2011202042. All of the patents carry a 2009 Priority Date. This portfolio covers a fundamental technology for creative multimedia messaging. It would be a critical acquisition for any company working in this space, from smartphone manufacturers to cellular service providers to app publishers.

Dual-Mode Display/Keypad Smart Phone (Constin): U.S. Patent No. 9,292,048

Sometimes you need a small, compact cell phone that can be easily carried around with you in a pocket or pocketbook. That is not too large and not too heavy, ready to use to make or receive a phone call, and it has a touch screen display to enter the phone number you are calling or to select a number from your stored contacts. However, you sometimes need a larger, smarter phone, preferably with a keyboard and a screen, for when you need to send a lengthy text or you need to send or respond to an e-mail and you do not have access to a PC. Or you need to order on line or conduct important business, and a keyboard would sure be handy. Too bad you cannot have both.

Correction! You can have both thanks to the invention covered by this patent. The invention covers what is clearly THE next generation of smartphones and PDAs. It enables a device to have BOTH a small and compact touchscreen display AND a conventional keyboard with a display! The touchscreen display is on the top of the smartphone or PDA, and it can be used just as current touchscreen displays are now used. However, the display lifts up and off the top of the device, and then swivels around, revealing a keyboard for which the touchscreen becomes a display to support the keyboard!

U.S. Patent No. 9,292,048 for a “Slide housing for an electronic communication device” creates the opportunity for a smart phone OEM to offer what is truly the next generation of smartphones, while all of its competitors are still selling outdated, single-configuration units!”

Real-Time Video 9-1-1 System (Zap Systems): Three U.S. Patents and Three PCT Patent Applications
