Patent number: 9135410Abstract: A method for digital rights management includes a digital agent for contacting a media host. Media content is compared to a user profile and an identification confidence level is assigned to the media based on the comparison. A digital agent contacts a host of the media based on the identification confidence level, the type of media, and the context of the media. The digital agent requests one or more actions of a media host based on user designations concerning information related to the media. The identification confidence level is generated based on a plurality of user characteristic confidence levels which are generated based on media being analyzed.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2011Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignees: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P., AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Dana Tardelli, Ginger Chien, Adrianne Binh Luu, Leonid Razoumov, Nemmara K.

Patent number: 9081475Abstract: A system and method for providing time-sensitive information to a handset using a scrolling ticker. The method includes receiving the time-sensitive information at a server, determining the time period before the next update for a second set of information, and if less than a pre-determined value, then streaming the time sensitive information at the end of the time period to the handset. If the time period is greater that than the pre-determined value, then streaming the time-sensitive information immediately. In an alternative embodiment, a method is provided which includes determining a base schedule for periodically streaming the information to a handset via a scrolling ticker, receiving time-sensitive information relating to an event, determining a second schedule for periodically streaming time-sensitive information related to the event, and streaming the time-sensitive information in accordance with the second schedule during a time period associated with the event.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2014Date of Patent: July 14, 2015Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Adrianne Binh Luu, Jeffrey Mikan

Patent number: 9037116Abstract: A provisioning system configured to retrieve a voicemail password and/or a pilot number for a voicemail account, create a first service request directed to an over-the-air system, and send the first service request to the over-the-air system, if the provisioning system determines that the voicemail account has been initialized. The first service request instructs the over-the-air system to format a first message including the voicemail password and/or the pilot number for delivery to a mobile device. The provisioning system is further configured to create a second service request directed to the over-the-air system and send the second service request to the over-the-air system, if the provisioning system determines that the voicemail account has not been initialized. The second service request instructs the over-the-air system to format a second message including a default voicemail password and/or a default pilot number for delivery to the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2013Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Adrianne Binh Luu, Mark Causey, Michael Zubas

Patent number: 8933804Abstract: A mobile security system is described herein. A detector communicates with a mobile device if an event has occurred. The event may be various types of events, such as fire or motion. Once the mobile device receives the communication of the event occurrence, the mobile device may, among others, sound an alarm or communicate with a central monitoring system to notify emergency services of the occurrence. The mobile device may also communicate with another communication device, such as another cell phone or a computer, using various forms of communication. The detector may be an integral part of the mobile device, i.e. fixed part of the mobile device, or may be detachable. The detector may also be wholly separate.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2011Date of Patent: January 13, 2015Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Mark Edward Causey, Scott Andrus, Adrianne Binh Luu, Kevin W.

Publication number: 20130281005Abstract: One or more femto cell access points (FAPs) are employed to facilitate provisioning of security. A signal indicative of an intrusion in an area associated with an FAP can be received, and, based on receiving the signal, an identifier associated with a device in a range of the FAP can be determined. One or more frequencies in the range of the femto cell access point can be jammed, an attachment attempt emitted from the device in response to jamming the frequencies can be detected, and a telephone number of the device can be identified based, at least, on detecting the attachment attempt from the device. Warnings can also be sent to the device and/or tracking of the device can be performed.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 19, 2012Publication date: October 24, 2013Applicant: AT&T MOBILITY II LLCInventors: Mark Causey, Arthur Richard Brisebois, Adrianne Binh Luu
