Publication number: 20230397244Abstract: A networking device may determine that communications that is it receiving or sending to a computing device would not use all of the bandwidth of a channel when those communications are being sent or received. The networking device may determine other communications from the computing device or other computing devices to send communications to or from. The networking device may allocate different portions of the bandwidth for each of those communications to be sent or received by the networking device.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 1, 2022Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Colleen Szymanik, Teddy El-Rashidy, Ravi Teja Pandirla, Leslie Alvarado, Firas Shaari

Publication number: 20230397050Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for associating a gateway device as a backup for another gateway device based on the communication characteristics of the gateways. The communication characteristics of the gateways may indicate that the gateways available are suitable backups of each other in the event that one of the gateways becomes inoperable or has an excessive workload. The associations between the gateways may be further based on the network channels used by the gateways for communications.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2022Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Leslie Alvarado, Teddy El-Rashidy, Alberto Garcia-Ortiz, Colleen Szymanik

Publication number: 20220321075Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses are described for optimizing user content consuming experience by recognizing and classifying different sounds while a user views a program. The system may have or may access information related to the program audio being presented, enabling it to distinguish between conversations occurring in the program audio and conversations between users in the viewing environment. The system may turn the program volume down on one or more sound producing devices if it detects a conversation. The system may turn the program volume up if it detects an interrupting noise. The system may also adjust the program content based on locations of various objects within the listening or viewing environment, and types of users in the environment.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2022Publication date: October 6, 2022Inventors: Sarah Friant, Colleen Szymanik, Myra Einstein

Patent number: 9961576Abstract: Systems and methods for determining the health score of a Wi-Fi radio are described. Data associated with the Wi-Fi radio and/or an access point encapsulating the Wi-Fi radio may be received. Various parameters related to the Wi-Fi radio and/or an access point encapsulating the Wi-Fi radio may be determined. Weights may be assigned to the parameters, and the health score may be calculated using the weighted parameters. Default values may be assigned to the parameters if the initial determination of the parameter is below a minimal value. Configuration parameters related to the Wi-Fi radio, the access point, or neighboring access points may be transmitted based on the calculated health score.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2015Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventors: Colleen Szymanik, Alexander Roscoe, Darrell DeRosia, Bradley Mayer
