Alejandro Lopresti, Alpharetta, GA US

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090149175WIRELESS DEVICE ACTIVATION - Tools and techniques for activating a wireless device on a wireless network. In an aspect, such tools can allow an unactivated wireless device (that is, a wireless device that generally would be inoperable on a wireless network) to be given limited functionality in order to activate itself on the network. In some cases, such tools can be implemented within business processes to generate revenue streams for entities involved in the wireless activation process.06-11-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090003539Methods and Apparatus for Defending Against Telephone-Based Robotic Attacks Using Random Personal Codes - Methods and apparatus are provided for defending against telephone-based robotic attacks. An interactive voice response method is disclosed, comprising the steps of obtaining a script to present to a caller, the script including at least one menu option having at least one personal code; generating a random number for the personal code; and presenting the at least one menu option with the generated random number to the caller. The step of generating a random number for the personal code is optionally responsive to receipt of the call. The method is optionally performed only if one or more predefined criteria defining an attack are satisfied. The disclosed IVR system can optionally monitor the caller response to determine whether the caller enters the generated random number.01-01-2009
20090003548Methods and Apparatus for Defending Against Telephone-Based Robotic Attacks Using Contextual-Based Degradation - Methods and apparatus are provided fox defending against telephone-based robotic attacks. An interactive voice response method is provided for presenting a menu having one or more menu options to a caller associated with a call. The method comprises the steps of obtaining a script to present to the caller, the script including the one or more menu options; combining at least one of the one or more menu options with a background audio signal, wherein the background audio signal is selected based on a context of the call; and presenting the combination of the at least one of the one or mole menu options and the background audio signal to the caller. The context of the call includes comprises one or more of an identity of a called party associated with the call and a time period of the call. The background audio signal can optionally be obtained from a library of background signals.01-01-2009
20090003549Methods and Apparatus for Defending Against Telephone-Based Robotic Attacks Using Permutation of an IVR Menu - Methods and apparatus are provided for defending against telephone-based robotic attacks An interactive voice response method is provided for presenting a menu having one or more menu options to a caller. The method comprises the steps of obtaining a script to present to the caller, the script including the one or more menu options; permuting one or more characteristics of at least one of the one or more menu options; and presenting the permuted menu to the caller. The permutation may comprise, for example, adding one or more additional menu options to the menu; varying a selection number associated with the at least one menu option; varying an order of at least a plurality of the menu options; or varying a wording or pronunciation of one or more menu options.01-01-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100202642METHOD TO ESTIMATE THE SOUND PRESSURE LEVEL AT EARDRUM USING MEASUREMENTS AWAY FROM THE EARDRUM - A method for measuring sound pressure at a tympanic membrane of a wearer's ear including a high frequency range with a hearing assistance device. The hearing assistance device comprises a processor connected to a sensor in the ear canal. The device provides a measure of the sound pressure level at the tympanic membrane of the wearer using a null frequency and a null Q measured at a distant position away from the tympanic membrane. The method does not require a precise knowledge of the ear canal, nor does it require an elaborate calibration step. In various embodiments, the present approach works at low and high frequencies.08-12-2010

20100128905PERSONAL LISTENING DEVICE - A receiver module for a personal listening device includes a motor assembly and a housing. The motor assembly includes a movable armature. The housing defines a chamber and the housing is at least partially constructed of a biocompatible material. The motor assembly is directly disposed and exposed to the chamber without the obstruction of any intervening structure. At least a portion of the housing of the receiver module is allowed to be in contact with at least a portion of the pinna that is external to the ear canal. The chamber is divided into a front volume and a back volume.05-27-2010
