US Patent:

6782475, Aug 24, 2004

Filed:

Jul 13, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/600421

Inventors:

Terence E. Sumner - Rowlett TX 75088

International Classification:

H04L 900

US Classification:

713163, 713201, 380255

Abstract:

An encrypted broadcast messaging system determines the management crypto-keys held by each selected subscriber device and not held by each excluded subscriber device of a group. The private message is decomposed into message-parts, one message-part per an excluded subscriber device, each message-part intended to be encrypted using each management crypto-key held by the selected subscriber devices and not held by the excluded subscriber device. Each message-part is encrypted using the intended management crypto-keys, and delivered to at least the selected subscriber devices, identifying the message-parts delivered and the message-parts necessary to re-compose the private message. Each received encrypted message-part is decrypted using the intended management crypto-key, and the necessary message-parts are chosen from which the private message is re-composed by combining in the selected subscriber devices.

H04Q 522

US Classification:

340 1032, 34082544, 34082547

Abstract:

A selective call messaging system delivers ( ) a master message ( ) addressed to a first group of subscriber units ( ) and a corresponding records message ( ) addressed to a second group of subscriber units. The records message comprises a record ( ). A subscriber unit of the second group presents ( ) a subscriber-customized group message ( ) to a user. The subscriber-customized group message is formed ( ) from the master message and from at least one of the record, and local information ( ) stored in the subscriber unit.

Appl. No.:

11/075077

Inventors:

Terence Edward Sumner - Rowlett TX, US

International Classification:

H04Q 7/24

US Classification:

370338, 4555521, 4555561

Abstract:

A wireless client in accordance with the invention in range of a suitable wireless access point requests content from a host. The wireless access point routes the initial name resolution request to a local name server that resolves certain host names, actually elsewhere, falsely as addresses on a local network, preferably a private network. The name-server response is sent back to the wireless client, which in turn then sends the request for content to the local address. A router coupled to the wireless access point acts normally to forward the request to a local content server. A local server responds with a copy of content initially synchronized with content available elsewhere. Not all content may be duplicated and some may be unavailable locally. Content may be other than HTML and accessed by various protocols, e. g. FTP, SMTP, Telnet, etc.

Arch Wireless Operating Company, Inc. - Westborough MA

International Classification:

H04Q 7/24

US Classification:

370338, 370352

Abstract:

In the context of managing wireless network data, access information for a wireless local area network (WLAN) is identified. The access information is accessible over a wireless packet data connection. Based on the access information, a connection is established between a wireless data device and the WLAN.

Terence Sumner - Rowlett TX, US

International Classification:

H04Q007/20

US Classification:

455/445000, 455/458000

Abstract:

A novel alpha-like member (“alpha 2”) of the human glycoprotein hormone family and nucleic acid molecules encoding it have been discovered. Vectors, host cells, and methods for producing this alpha 2 polypeptide are disclosed. Also described are methods for the use of alpha 2, including methods for the production of antibodies and for the diagnosis and treatment of disorders associated with alpha 2.

US Classification:

370/338000, 370/401000

Abstract:

A method, system, and apparatus for incorporating a database-enabled server into a wireless network. The method includes the steps of receiving, at the wireless gateway, a communication message from a first communication network, the communication message including address information associated with a subscriber; storing, by the wireless gateway, the communication message, the communication message being stored in association with the subscriber; and selectively sending, with the wireless gateway using the wireless communication network, at least a portion of the communication message to a wireless device.

Inventors:

Terence Sumner - Rowlett TX, US

International Classification:

H04Q007/20

US Classification:

455/456100, 455/456300

Abstract:

A mobile transceiver radio direction-finding sub-system determines the location of a mobile transceiver by receiving information from a locating controller unit that includes tower site geographic location information and radio-frequency protocol information on the target mobile transceiver. After positioning the sub-system within the tower site coverage indicated for the target, the sub-system monitors the target mobile transmitter frequency and utilizes radio direction-finding techniques based on the protocol information to gather bearing and distance information to the target.

International Classification:

H04Q 712

US Classification:

455 313

Abstract:

A system controller (105), and analogous method, for a two way selective messaging system (100) that is arranged to reduce traffic on a network channel (109) that intercouples a plurality of base receivers (115-118, 125-128) includes a source port (303) for receiving a message from a message source, a memory (305) for storing a data base including an activity pattern of the plurality of base receivers, a processor (307), coupled to the source port and the memory for selecting an inbound schedule for a response from a selective messaging unit (131) where the inbound schedule is selected to reduce traffic, corresponding to the inbound schedule, on the network channel, and a transmit port (107) for sending the message along with the inbound schedule to a transmitter (111). A two way selective messaging unit (131), and analogous method, includes a memory (413) for storing a preferred transmitter ID and an activity pattern corresponding to a set of base receivers associated with the preferred transmitter, a controller (411), coupled to the memory, for selecting an inbound schedule for delivery of a message where the inbound schedule is selected to reduce traffic on the network channel, and a transmitter (407) for transmitting the message in accordance with the inbound schedule.
