Publication number: 20230074312Abstract: Physical access to secure areas is automatically performed based on presence or detection of a wireless device. A unique identifier of a wireless cellular device, for example, may be pre-authorized for occupants, employees, and tenants of a building. Contractors and vendors may also have their wireless cellular devices pre-approved for access. When the wireless cellular device is detected by a network serving the secure area, its unique identifier may be compared to databases or lists of approved cellular devices. Physical access may thus be automatically granted, based on possession of a recognized cellular device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2022Publication date: March 9, 2023Applicant: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Craig Arthur Klein, Gregory O.

Publication number: 20210304085Abstract: Physical space is allocated to members of a group to maximize collaborative efforts. Each member of the group is determined based on presence or detection of a wireless device. As the members of the group are wirelessly detected, physical space may be assigned based on historical usage, calendar entries, physical needs, and infrastructure traits. Desks, office space, conference rooms, and other facilities may thus be dynamically reserved to maximize collaboration and yet efficiently utilize existing physical spaces.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2021Publication date: September 30, 2021Applicant: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Craig Arthur Klein, Gregory O.

Patent number: 10269195Abstract: Physical access to secure areas is automatically performed based on presence or detection of a wireless device. When a wireless cellular device is detected by a network serving a secure building, a unique identifier of the wireless cellular device is obtained. The identifier of the wireless cellular device may be compared to electronic calendars. If a matching calendar entry is determined, then the wireless cellular device is calendared to meet an employee or tenant inside the building. Physical access may thus be automatically granted, based on possession of a recognized cellular device.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2017Date of Patent: April 23, 2019Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Craig Arthur Klein, Gregory O.

Patent number: 10123198Abstract: A controller for use in a supplemental response system can include an initiation module that receives a communication from a primary response system. The controller can also include an interpretation module that receives the communication from the initiation module and that interprets the communication to determine a description of attention required by the source. The controller can further include a locating module that identifies a target region based on the first location of the source, and that identifies the supplemental responding entity at a second location within the target region based on the description of the attention required by the source. The controller can also include a communication module that transmits a request to a communication system of the supplemental responding entity at the second location within the target region.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2017Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Craig Arthur Klein, Maureen Folkerts, Gregory Harp, Larry Pearson, Barton Hawkins, Joseph Sineath
