Disclaimer: The promise of Apex Standards Pseudo Claim Charting (PCC) [ Request Form ] is not to replace expert opinion but to provide due diligence and transparency prior to high precision charting. PCC conducts aggressive mapping (based on Broadest Reasonable, Ordinary or Customary Interpretation and Multilingual Translation) between a target patent's claim elements and other documents (potential technical standard specification or prior arts in the same or across different jurisdictions), therefore allowing for a top-down, apriori evaluation, with which, stakeholders can assess standard essentiality (potential strengths) or invalidity (potential weaknesses) quickly and effectively before making complex, high-value decisions. PCC is designed to relieve initial burden of proof via an exhaustive listing of contextual semantic mapping as potential building blocks towards a litigation-ready work product. Stakeholders may then use the mapping to modify upon shortlisted PCC or identify other relevant materials in order to formulate strategy and achieve further purposes.

DEVELOPMENT OF A DISTRIBUTIVE LIGHTING CONTROL-SYSTEM USING LOCAL OPERATING NETWORK

Motorola Semiconductors H.K. Limited, City Polytechnic of Hong Kong

Tsang, Wang
US8862508B2
CLAIM 1
. A method for constructing a unified electronic banking environment , said method comprising the steps of : providing at least one common multi-channel server coupled to more than one e-banking touch points and also coupled to at least one computer system configured with at least one control console , said more than one e-banking touch points and said at least one computer system being provided in locations remote from the other , and further wherein said more than one plurality of e-banking touch points are comprised of at least two different types (active feature) of e-banking touch point devices , each of which comprise one or more of an automatic teller/transaction machine (ATM) , a self service coin counter (SSCC) , a kiosk , a digital signage display , an online accessible banking website , a personal digital assistant (PDA) , a personal computer (PC) , a laptop , a wireless device , or a combination of two or more thereof , and wherein at least one of said e-banking touch points is in communication with one or more financial institutions through said multi-channel server ;

receiving an actionable input from at least one e-banking touch point ;

retrieving previously stored data associated with said actionable input , wherein said previously stored data is accessible to any one of said e-banking touch points , and said previously stored data comprises data from one or more financial institutions and one or more user-defined preferences ;

delivering said retrieved data to said at least one e-banking touch point transmitting said actionable input ;

storing transactional usage data associated with said at least one e-banking touch point transmitting said actionable input , wherein said stored transactional usage data is accessible by any one of said more than one e-banking touch points and said at least one computer system ;

monitoring via said server an active session in real-time for selection of targeted marketing content correlated to said user-defined preferences ;

subsequent to said monitoring , selecting in real-time said targeted marketing content correlated to said user-defined preferences ;

and transmitting in real-time said targeted marketing content during said active session to at least one of said e-banking touch points for acceptance , rejection , or no response by a user , wherein said response by said user is used during said active session to determine whether transmission of additional information related to said marketing content occurs during said active session .
DEVELOPMENT OF A DISTRIBUTIVE LIGHTING CONTROL-SYSTEM USING LOCAL OPERATING NETWORK . The Local Operating Network is a technology that allows intelligent devices (or nodes) such as actuators and sensors , to communicate with one another through an assortment of communication media using a standard protocol . Both distributed and peer-to-peer communications are supported between the nodes in the network and a central control system or a file server is not required . In addition , the relatively high data rate and the availability of routers permit large amount of nodes to be tapped onto a network domain while at the same time maintain high communication efficiency . Consequently , it is suitable for developing low-cost consumers and professional communication products that can be widely applied in automating buildings , factories , vehicles , home and domestic , appliances . In this paper we have reported on the development of a distributive control lighting system using the LON technology . The nodes in the system (i . e . lamps , switches and the central control units) are tapped onto the network bus and are linked by logical bindings instead of complicated hardwire connections . The system we have designed is economical to build , easy to service , modify , and provides reliable communication between the lamps and the switches . These attractive feature (different types) s demonstrate the feasibility of using LON in building distributive control networks , as well as the potential of our lighting system in practical applications .
