Patent number: 9626856Abstract: Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for detecting presence using a presence sensor network. In some embodiments, a computer executing a presence service generates a user interface for display at a user device. The user interface can include a control that, when selected, generates room data defining a monitored location. The computer can obtain sensor identifier data that identifies a presence sensor located at the monitored location and a location of the presence sensor at the monitored location. The computer can provide the user interface to the user device to obtain the room data and obtain the room data. The computer also can store the room data and the sensor identifier data.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2016Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Donnie Henderson, Alicia Abella, Gerald Michael Karam

Patent number: 8917833Abstract: A method of recording audio/video or a combination of audio/video information on a local, possibly mobile, device while in a live communication with one or more parties. The method comprises signaling the compute device to perform a routing of input directly to its internal recording subsystem, not transmitting the input over the communication, signaling the compute device to resume normal routing of its input for transmission, indexing and storing (recording) the input in a local data store and retrieving the locally stored information for later playback. A system and computer-readable medium are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2005Date of Patent: December 23, 2014Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property II, L.P.Inventor: Donnie Henderson
