LEDUC TECH
Leduc Tech is developing licensable, system-level technology that enables host devices (TVs, consoles, and smart platforms)
to locate paired peripherals directly—without smartphone applications, external tracking tags, or cloud services.
Broad patent coverage pending. Demonstrations and technical materials are available under NDA.
What it is
A host-driven method to help a device locate its paired peripherals (remote controls, controllers, accessories) using system-level capabilities—designed to be fast, direct, and user-friendly.
Why it matters
Today’s “find” solutions often depend on apps, add-on tags, or external ecosystems. Leduc Tech aims to make locating peripherals a native host feature that respects privacy and works offline.
How it works (high level)
- Host initiates a locate request
- Peripheral responds through a paired pathway
- Host presents a user-visible locate outcome
LT-1 — Host-Initiated Peripheral Location
LT-1 defines a host-initiated, system-level architecture that enables a device to locate its associated peripherals within a local device ecosystem.
The host platform initiates and manages locate sessions, including session state, timeouts, cancellation, and completion, while peripherals operate as controlled responders that emit user-perceivable indicators and return confirmation signals.
The architecture is transport-agnostic and confined to local communication paths, allowing platform owners to implement consistent locate behavior across device categories without reliance on cloud services, companion applications, or third-party tracking hardware.
Use cases
- Locating a misplaced remote or controller within a room
- Recovering multiple paired peripherals within the same environment
- Shared-device environments with recurring locate workflows
- Accessibility-oriented and simplified “find” interactions
Built for platforms
Designed with host OEM/OS integration in mind (TVs, consoles, smart hubs).
Privacy-first
Intended to operate without cloud dependency for the locate function.
Scalable
Approach supports multi-target workflows and confirmation loops.
What licensees get
Licensing is simplest when adoption risk is already removed. Leduc Tech is building a package that supports evaluation and integration without exposing unnecessary implementation details.
- Reference architecture (system boundaries, data flows, timing assumptions)
- Interface & state behavior (normal paths, timeouts, retries, recovery)
- Failure containment model (feature failure never destabilizes the host ecosystem)
- Integration checklist (what must change vs what remains untouched)
- Validation evidence (test notes for power cycles, edge cases, long-run stability)
Who it’s for
- TV and set-top box OEMs
- Console / gaming platforms
- Smart hub and streaming ecosystems
- Peripheral makers seeking native host support
Why licensing (not a gadget)
The core invention is an architectural capability intended to integrate into existing ecosystems. A hardware reference implementation exists to validate behavior, reliability, and failure modes under real conditions.
Licensing process
- 1) Evaluation brief
High-level overview, target integration points, and constraints. - 2) NDA + technical package
Architecture, interface behavior, and validation materials. - 3) Pilot integration
Short, bounded proof in your ecosystem (integration safety + UX flow). - 4) Commercial terms
Field-of-use, scope, support, and royalty / fee structure.
FAQ
- Do you require cloud connectivity? No—designed for local device-to-device operation for the locate function.
- Is this a standalone product? The invention is an ecosystem feature; a reference implementation supports validation and integration.
- What about certification? Battery transport/safety and product certification considerations are addressed in the integration planning package.
- How do you protect IP while evaluating? High-level briefs first, then technical materials and demos under NDA.
- What integration effort should we expect? Kept intentionally bounded; integration steps and “no-change” areas are provided under NDA.
