Abstract:
A product source site, a VAR site and a customer site are connected to a communications network. A mobile communications device is sold by a VAR to the customer, and the VAR notifies the customer of a product origination code (POC) that is unique to the product source and to each VAR that sells products to the customer. The customer uses the POC to activate a software client that can be used to both control a product unit and to register the product unit with the remote product monitoring and management service. The remote product monitoring and management service can be configured to create a data base record that corresponds to the POC that can be used to store product operational information that is gather from the customers product by the remote product monitoring and management service.
Abstract:
A digital audio conferencing system has a fixed base station that is in communication with a far end (R.E.) system over a communication network. The base station is associated with a wireless loudspeaker and one or more wireless microphones. The base station operates to receive F.E. audio signals to be played by the wireless loudspeaker, and it operates to remove acoustic echo picked up by the wireless microphones. A first clock controlling F.E. audio signal sampling at the base station, and a second clock controlling audio signal sampling and at a wireless microphone are synchronized to one master, reference clock that controls the operation of the base station. Acoustic echo included in an audio signal picked up by a wireless microphone is removed by AEC functionality running in the base station.
Abstract:
A robot movement control device is connected to a communications network in a remote location relative to a robotic device that is also connected to the communications network. The robot movement control device is an electronic device with a video display for displaying a real-time video image sent to it by a camera associated with the robot. A robot movement control overlay is displayed in the field of the real-time video image at the robot control device and robot control commands are generated by selecting locations within the boundary of the movement control overlay which include speed and directional information. The control commands are sent by the robot control device over the network to the robot which uses the commands to adjust its speed and direction of movement.

Abstract:
An audio system has a base station and a plurality of wireless microphones that are associated with the base station. The wireless microphones operate to capture acoustic audio information and to transmit this audio information to the base station. Each of the wireless microphones operate to detect whether or not they are connected to an external voltage source. If any of the plurality of the wireless microphones determines that they are not connected to an external voltage source, then it is controlled to transition to a first operational state. Or if a wireless microphone determines that it is connected to an external voltage source, and depending upon the voltage level detected, the microphone can transition to either a second or a third operational state.
Abstract:
One or more audio conferencing systems are connected to a local network, and each conferencing system is comprised of a plurality of wireless microphones in communication with a plurality of antennas deployed in an array configuration. Each of the antennas comprising one of the audio conferencing systems is in direct communication with a base station and in indirect communication with a server which runs a centralized digital signal processing functionality. The digital signal processing functionality operates on audio information received from one or more far-end audio sources and from each of the one or more audio conferencing system.
