Filed: 2018-05-30
Abstract: Selectively relaying onwards an Automatic Identification System, AIS, signal received at an AIS terminal to one or more further AIS terminals (message repeater 4, fig 2), comprises: where the AIS terminal is a second receiving AIS terminal T6, checking whether an angle between an original sending AIS terminal T0 and a first receiving AIS terminal T1 (T2, T3) is less than a threshold B; and, a distance from the original sending AIS terminal T0 to a second receiving AIS terminal T6 is greater than a distance from the second receiving AIS terminal T6 to the first receiving AIS terminal T1; thereby determining whether to relay onwards the received AIS signal (3.8.6, fig 4). T6 is within the transmission range of T1, T2 and T3, but it will only repeat the message received from T1. The AIS system may assign locally generated messages a higher priority than hopping messages, and, if a busyness status is greater than a threshold, disabling transmission of hopping messages but still transmitting locally generated messages. The AIS is a maritime system designed for short-range ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore communications, wherein the present system may extend the communication range outside the transmit range of a first AIS terminal.

The predefined voltage is adapted such that it increases proportionally with ongoing lifetime or increasing number of charging cycles. Additionally, at the beginning of the battery’s lifetime, it is charged below or to 100% of predefined voltage; towards the end of the lifetime, it is charged beyond 100% of predefined voltage, e.g. 105-115%. Battery lifetime is thus extended/improved.

Title: Data privacy in screen sharing during a Web conference
Inventor: Joshua P Schrager
IPC: H04N21/4788
Filed: 2020-09-30
Abstract: A method for data privacy in screen sharing during Web conferencing comprises selecting, during a Web conference, a third-party application executing in a presenter computing system contemporaneously with a conferencing application also executing in the presenter computing system. Screen sharing is activated during a Web conference in the conferencing application so as to share a display screen of the third-party application with different attendee computers over a computer communications network. An interface to the third-party application is then queried with the attendees in order to receive access control data for the third-party application for the attendees. Then, a protected data field is identified in the display screen and it is determined whether one of the attendee computers is associated with one of several access control rules (e.g. prohibiting protected data field display in any attendee computer lacking access credentials) based upon the access control data that prohibits display of content in the protected data field. The data field is masked in the shared display screen for the one of the attendee computers while displaying remaining portions of the shared display screen in the one of the attendee computers.
