Title: Pair of wireless devices for replacing a serial wired linked between a pair of existing ports.
Inventor: CHANANA KANWALPREET SINGH
IPC: G06F13/12
Filed: 2010-02-03
Abstract: Disclosed is a system comprising a pair of devices arranged to connect to the serial ports (eg RS232) in a host and a peripheral device. The devices use a wireless ie, an electromagnetic, link to replicate the serial connection. The devices have a link-processing module which establishes the wireless link and a switch capable of being switched from a first to a second configuration. The link-processing module also monitors one line of the serial port and also sends a command packet across the link if a change is detected in the monitored line. Upon receipt of a command packet from the link the receiving device makes a change to a pin of the serial port to which it is connected so as to replicating a change of line represented by the received command packet. The devices may be configured to connect to data terminal equipment (DTE) or data communication equipment (DCE). The devices may use Bluetooth, WIFI or infrared signals.

Filed: 2012-10-16
Abstract: A smartphone conferencing system, a dial-out and permissions rating engine (DPRE) for use in the system and a method of handling a smartphone conference call between a smartphone user and a plurality of conference call participants. The system and method both incorporate a DPRE which analyses the conference call establishment requests and determines if a request is valid or if a request is invalid. The DPRE may instruct a smartphone server to accept and process or reject the conference call establishment request based on the analysis. The DPRE will have a set of rules stored in memory whereby it can make a determination on the validity or otherwise of the conference call establishment request. The means to analyse the request comprises means to compare the conference call participants listed in the request with call participants from previously executed conference calls made by the smartphone, or compare the location of the participants with a location on a prohibited or known high risk location list. The system and method will obviate many of the delays in establishing a smartphone conference call and will allow the smartphone user to realize the full benefits of smartphone conferencing without being susceptible to substantial fraud should they lose their smartphone.
