Patent number: 9584582Abstract: An aspect for communicating content for delivery to a device to receive an electronic message having an attached electronic file includes receiving the attached electronic file at the device. The attached electronic file contains instructions for accessing the content. Responsive to an input signal indicating a request to access the attached electronic file, an address of a remote device that hosts the content is obtained, a viewing program is executed at the device, and a launch control icon via a toolbar of the viewing program is provided. Responsive to selection of the launch control icon, the content is obtained for delivery to a recipient of the electronic message using the address of the remote device to establish a connection with the remote device.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2015Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventor: Gary J.

Patent number: 9203789Abstract: Publishing content associated with an electronic file attached to an electronic message by executing instructions contained in the electronic attachment and accessing the content at a remote computer server identified by the attached file. The attached file includes computer-executable instructions, such as a computer program or script, which include an identifier for a remote server connected to a distributed computer network. This identified remote server typically hosts a web site containing content for viewing by the recipient of the electronic message. In response to launching the attached file of the electronic message with a viewer program, a browser program can be opened to enable the recipient to view the content of the identified remote server, typically a web site on an intranet or the global Internet.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2013Date of Patent: December 1, 2015Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventor: Gary J.

Patent number: 7401144Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for a technician to access an intranet through a systems interface to back-end legacy systems. Generally, a technician logs a computer into a systems interface that permits access to back-end legacy systems. Preferably, the systems interface is located on at least a first network address. Preferably, the systems interface includes a first server with middleware for managing the protocol interface. Preferably, the systems interface includes a second server for receiving requests and generating legacy transactions. After the computer is logged in, a request for access to an intranet is made. Preferably, the request results from the technician selecting an icon or engaging a software button. After the request is processed, a message is sent from the systems interface to the computer. The message causes the computer to launch a software application that seeks out a separate network address corresponding to the intranet.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2001Date of Patent: July 15, 2008Assignee: AT&T Delaware Intellectual Property, Inc.Inventors: Steven G.
