Patent number: 10743172Abstract: A disclosed service for managing mobile and wireless communication devices (MWCDs) includes enabling a server to generate a standard remote configuration command (RCC) and enabling a transmitter coupled to the server to transmit the RCC wirelessly. The RCC configures a feature on a first MWCD of a first supplier and a second MWCD of a second supplier. The RCC may disable one or more of a set of selected MWCD peripheral devices. For example, the RCC may disable an MWCD camera, an MWCD microphone, and/or an MWCD speaker. In some embodiments, the RCC transitions the MWCD to a restricted state in which the MWCD is unable to record multimedia content including audio and video content. In these embodiments, the RCC may configure one or more of the features on each of a set of MWCDs within a defined geographic region.Type: GrantFiled: January 8, 2018Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Goangshiuan Shawn Ying, Stephen Michael Aspell, Eugene Lane Edmon, Huizhen Chen

Publication number: 20040042444Abstract: A voice communication occurs between a subscriber terminal and a called party terminal through a public switched telephone network (PSTN) or Internet protocol (IP) network. A gateway receives at least one digital voice packet from the subscriber terminal through a local loop, the voice packet including voice data, a context identifier (CID) associated with the voice packet based on a local loop protocol, and no packet header. The gateway maps the CID to a communication session and adds a packet header, which includes routing information based on the mapped CID. The gateway forwards the voice packet to the IP network for routing to the called party terminal based on the packet header. A gateway controller may determine whether to route the call through the PSTN or the IP network based on whether a number of the called party terminal has an associated IP address.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2002Publication date: March 4, 2004Applicant: SBC Properties, L.P.Inventors: Eugene Lane Edmon, Goangshiuan Shawn Ying
