The inventor has about 134 patents [1] and many of which seem (to me) very generic. I am not very familiar with patent jargon so I can't definitively say if those patents have enough substance to them. Maybe someone with experience could expand on this?

Patent applications are usually not written by inventors themselves. Hence, they have vague and/or prolonged language to cover the invention more.
