20150349827 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING POLLUTION INFORMATION OVER AN INTEGRATED WIRELESS NETWORK - A pollution information message system provides a system and method for generating and transmitting pollution information messages. In one embodiment, the pollution information message system employs a transceiver network with a plurality transceivers coupled to monitoring devices. Control room operators receive a pollution information message from an identifiable transceiver. The transceiver, identified by an identification code, indicates a location and the nature of the detected pollution. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described. | 12-03-2015 |
20150350027 | NEIGHBOR AWARE NETWORK CLUSTER TOPOLOGY ESTABLISHMENT BASED ON PROXIMITY MEASUREMENTS - A method includes determining, at a first device of a neighbor aware network (NAN), a proximity of the first device to a second device of the NAN. The method further includes determining whether to change a NAN operating mode of the first device based on the proximity. | 12-03-2015 |
20150358074 | Method and system for sending user information to a car - A telematics server manages meeting request messages sent from, and to, a vehicle-coupled device. The server performs authentication services when a subscriber logs in to the server from the vehicle-coupled device, or with a device associated with the subscriber's telematics services account. Upon login, the server may append a session identifier to the request message. After the message passes through the server, an application running on a device remote from the vehicle receives the request message and accepts user input that permits the remote device to transmit its current location to the vehicle-coupled device in a confirmation message according to the session identifier. The telematics server can use the session identifier to determine the destination address of the vehicle-coupled device to forward the confirmation message to. The vehicle-coupled device displays the remote user device location on a map. The request and confirmation messages may include a media content file. | 12-10-2015 |
20150372841 | Wireless Communication System and Device for Coupling a Base Station and Mobile Stations - A wireless communication system is provided that includes a wireless communication device in wireless communication with a base station and mobile stations. The wireless communication device includes first and second transceivers coupled to each other. The first transceiver is coupled to an antenna and is operable to communicate with the base station, which is also in wireless communication with other wireless communication devices. The second transceiver is coupled to another antenna and is in wireless communication with the plurality of mobile stations. The first transceiver receives a first signal from the base station intended for a one of the mobile stations, and in response the second transceiver transmits the first signal to the mobile station. The second transceiver receives a second signal from the mobile station intended for the base station, and in response the first transceiver transmits the second signal to the base station. | 12-24-2015 |

In one more embodiments, a computer implemented method provides for delinking customers and deregistering vehicles from original owners where those vehicles have been subsequently sold, discontinued, or otherwise transferred for the customer's ownership. | 05-05-2016 |
20160381144 | CONTROLLING AN IOT DEVICE USING A REMOTE CONTROL DEVICE VIA A REMOTE CONTROL PROXY DEVICE - Described herein are implementations for using a remote control device to control a target device on a network via a remote control proxy device. A remote control device may determine an IoT device capable of functioning as a remote control proxy device. The remote control device may generate a data packet comprising a command for controlling the target device and a network address associated with the target device, and transmit the data packet to the IoT device. If the IoT device determines, using the network address, that it is not the target device, the IoT device may either unicast the data packet to the target device or multicast the data packet to multiple intermediate IoT devices on the network. | 12-29-2016 |
20160381532 | MOBILE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM FOR GATHERINGS LIMITED TO A SPECIFIC GEOGRAPHIC AREA SUCH AS CRUISE LINES - A mobile communication system allows for communication in a limited geographic area without the need for conventional communication infrastructure. The communication system includes a plurality a mobile communication texting devices operated by users of the mobile communication system, a central server operated by a host of the mobile communication system, and a plurality of mesh routers wirelessly coupled to a gateway node. The plurality of mobile communication texting devices interact and communicate amongst themselves by utilizing the mesh routers, the gateway node and the central server. | 12-29-2016 |
