US Patent:

7539504, May 26, 2009
Filed:

Dec 2, 2002
Appl. No.:

10/307613
Inventors:

Adam Taylor Ruef - Plano TX, US
Robert Earl Nimon - Dallas TX, US
John Charles Radford - Coppell TX, US
Assignee:

ESPRE Solutions, Inc. - Plano TX
International Classification:

H04Q 7/20
US Classification:

455508, 455507, 345 8, 709204
Abstract:

A method and system providing wireless personal telepresence facilitating collaboration by two or more persons, each in different locations, on a task at one of the locations and requiring visualization by multiple persons. A portable wireless unit captures/transmits video depicting the technician's first-hand field of view while keeping her hands free to perform the task. The expert employs a management console for visualization of the task being performed by the technician while communicating in real time with the technician. The management console also provides control over video and audio functions including record, playback, freeze frame and image attributes. Communication between the two persons is accomplished by exchanging digitally compressed video and audio via a voice or data network, either public or private. A community server augments the system by supporting three or more participants and enabling communication across public networks.

US Patent:

7864991, Jan 4, 2011
Filed:

Apr 6, 2007
Appl. No.:

11/697666
Inventors:

David E. Espenlaub - Dallas TX, US
Robert E. Nimon - Dallas TX, US
Assignee:

ESPRE Solutions Inc. - Dallas TX
International Classification:

G06K 9/00
US Classification:

382123, 382232, 382248, 455557, 701200, 701201, 701208, 34053911
Abstract:

A system and method for assisting a visually impaired individual are disclosed. In one embodiment, when the visually impaired individual encounters a situation with an obstacle, the visually impaired individual employs a first wireless device to transfer audiovisual information about the situation to an assistant with a second wireless device. The assistant analyzes the rendered audiovisual information and provides audio information to the visually impaired individual which presents a solution to the obstacle.

US Patent:

8000261, Aug 16, 2011
Filed:

Mar 12, 2008
Appl. No.:

12/047281
Inventors:

Robert E. Nimon - Dallas TX, US
David E. Espenlaub - Dallas TX, US
Assignee:

ESPRE Solutions, Inc. - Dallas TX
International Classification:

H04L 12/28
US Classification:

370254, 370390, 370432
Abstract:

A system and method for multicast transmission are disclosed. In one embodiment, a virtual exchange network including interconnected nodes is embedded within a network. A sender is disposed in communication with a root node and receivers are disposed in communication with a set of edge nodes. The sender publishes a packetized data stream to which the receivers subscribe. The packetized data stream is promulgated by implicit signaling through optimum virtual exchange network connections from the sender through the virtual exchange network to the receivers. The interconnected nodes, responsive to receiving the published packetized data stream, are adapted to multicast N instances of the published packetized data stream to N recipients selected from the group consisting of receivers and other of the interconnected nodes.

US Patent:

8429752, Apr 23, 2013
Filed:

Jan 23, 2007
Appl. No.:

11/626358
Inventors:

Robert E. Nimon - Dallas TX, US
Kimmy F. Nimon - Dallas TX, US
David E. Espenlaub - Dallas TX, US
Assignee:

Upload Technologies S.A. - Luxembourg
International Classification:

H04L 29/06
US Classification:

726 26, 726 27, 380200, 380201
Abstract:

A system and accompanying method for Digital Rights Management (DRM) are disclosed that permit arbitrary forms of digital media to be vended in a networked environment. Special purpose renderers are distributed with each particular instance of digital media. Each renderer may include a tailored set of controls allowing the owner of the digital media to restrict the use thereof.
