Patent number: 8184538Abstract: Network services provided by network access points to a plurality of communication terminals are regulated. Subscriber information that defines which of a plurality of network service levels is allocated to the communication terminals is maintained by at least one network service provider system. Network service levels that are provided by the network access points to the communication terminals are regulated in response to the subscriber information. A network access point may thereby be regulated to provide different levels of network service to different communication terminals. Moreover, a communication terminal may obtain a level of network service that may be based upon that provided by a home network service provider with which it is registered while the communication terminal is roaming through a different network service provider.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2007Date of Patent: May 22, 2012Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventor: Brian Daigle

Patent number: 7715881Abstract: Automatically initiating and answering communications are described herein. A communications device may be configured to automatically initiate outgoing communications to a default destination or to perform some action automatically upon receiving an incoming communication. Entries in a data structure accessible by the communications device can specify different delay periods applicable to each entry, such that communications to or from these entries are handled according to these delay periods. Outgoing communications can be initiated automatically to one of the entries, triggered in response to a user action. The user can override the outgoing communication by acting affirmatively within the delay period specified for the entry to which the communication is being initiated. The communications device can also be configured to automatically answer incoming communications in a variety of ways.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2005Date of Patent: May 11, 2010Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property, I, L.P.Inventors: Jerry Liu, Brian Daigle
