Patent number: 9147214Abstract: An availability notification for a device can be provided to a mobile device. The availability notification can be provided based on a configuration established by a subscriber of a mobile device as well as a characteristic of the mobile device. The subscriber can interact with an interface provided by the network provider to establish the configuration. Additionally, the subscriber can reserve the device via his or her mobile device. For example, a reservation interface may be provided to the subscriber via his or her mobile device that includes reservation options that can be selected by the subscriber to reserve the device. The reservation interface can further include the availability notification that indicates the device is currently available.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2014Date of Patent: September 29, 2015Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Mark Edward Causey, Scott Andrus, Adrianne B.

Patent number: 8892036Abstract: A communications device is configured to alert its user when the status of a wireless accessory meets certain conditions. In an example embodiment, when the wireless accessory is removed beyond the proximate area where the communications device is located, the communications device issues an alert to indicate that the communications device may be moving away from the wireless accessory or the wireless accessory may be moving away from the communications device. An exemplary situation includes the user of a mobile phone and a wireless headset accessory. In the example, the user keeps the mobile phone on his or her person. If the user puts down the wireless headset and walks away from the wireless headset, the mobile phone alerts the user.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2007Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Mark Edward Causey, Scott Andrus, Adrianne B.

Patent number: 8577294Abstract: A user configurable security profile defining relationships between a plurality of communications devices is utilized to secure a communications device in response to an occurrence of an event. In an example embodiment, the devices are linked together using a short range wireless communications protocol. If one of the devices becomes disconnected from the link, another device determines what actions to take based on the profile and the specific actions associated with the disconnected device. A device can be unlocked by providing a code, PIN, password, or the like. A legitimate disconnection from the link, such as turning a device off, or the battery dying, will not result in the remaining devices being locked. If a device is stolen and not recovered, the user can reconfigure the security profile to exclude the stolen device.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2012Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Mark Edward Causey, Scott M.

Patent number: 8140012Abstract: A user configurable security profile defining relationships between a plurality of communications devices is utilized to secure a communications device in response to an occurrence of an event. In an example embodiment, the devices (e.g., cellular phone, PDA, computer, car key fob, BLUETOOTH® enabled object) are linked together via a BLUETOOTH® conformant interface. If one of the devices becomes disconnected from the link, the remaining devices are locked. Additionally, a warning can be provided on the remaining devices. A device can be unlocked by providing a code, PIN, password, or the like. A legitimate disconnection from the link, such as turning a device off, or the battery dying, will not result in the remaining devices being locked. If a device is stolen and not recovered, the user can reconfigure the security profile to exclude the stolen device.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2007Date of Patent: March 20, 2012Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Mark Edward Causey, Scott Andrus, Adrianne B.

Patent number: 7957765Abstract: A wireless mobile telecommunications device includes a detachable camera that wirelessly communicates data with the device body. The device is usable not only to make and receive telephone calls in the conventional manner but also to take photographs or video. When the camera portion is detached from the device body, the camera can be used in essentially the same manner as any digital photography or video camera. Images captured by the camera are wirelessly transmitted to the device body.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2007Date of Patent: June 7, 2011Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Mark Edward Causey, Scott Andrus, Adrianne B.
