Patent number: 10810644Abstract: A system for mitigating returns is disclosed. In particular, the system may analyze an order made by a user for an item. The system may apply one or more filters to the order to determine if the ordered item is compatible with the user's profile, devices, accounts, preferences, or a combination thereof. Based on the application of the filters, the system may determine if a conflict exists between the ordered item and the user's profile, devices, accounts, preferences. If a conflict is determined to exist, the system may notify the user and adjust the order to generate a new order for a different item that is compatible for the user so as to mitigate a return. An order may then be transmitted to a virtual assistant for approval, which may reject the order or approve the order for completion.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2015Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignees: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P., AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Fulvio Cenciarelli, Quinn Aguirre, John P. Davis, III, Jeffrey Mikan

Patent number: 10685028Abstract: Consistent contextual patterns may confirm ownership. Current usage of mobile and smart devices may be compared to historical usage. If a device is being used as historically observed, then ownership of the device may be confirmed. If, however, the current usage fails to coincide with historical usage, new ownership may be inferred.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2018Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignees: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P., AT&T MOBILITY II LLCInventors: John P. Davis, III, Quinn Aguirre, Fulvio Cenciarelli, Jeffrey Mikan

Patent number: 10347292Abstract: A system for providing digital video recorder options for editing content is disclosed. In particular, the system may include receiving requests for a first version of media content and providing access to the first version of the media content. A user that accesses the first version of the media content may select a portion of the media content, and indicate whether, for example, the portion should be skipped, modified, or emphasized when the media content is accessed on a subsequent occasion. The system, based on the selection and indication, may edit the first version of the media content to create a second version of the media content. When a subsequent attempt is made to access the first version of the media content, the system may provide the user with the option to access the second version of the media content.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2018Date of Patent: July 9, 2019Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: John P. Davis, III, Jeffrey Mikan

Patent number: 10134290Abstract: A system for providing drone piggybacking on vehicles is disclosed. In particular, the system may enable drones or other unmanned mobile connected devices to piggyback onto various types of hosts, such as vehicles, in a symbiotic fashion. Through the symbiotic relationship created between the drones and hosts, the drones may utilize the hosts as a means for transport, such as while delivering a good to an intended destination, and the hosts may receive certain incentives in exchange for transporting the drones. Drones may be paired with hosts based on any number of factors, such as whether the host is traveling on a route that corresponds with reaching the intended destination, whether the host is capable of recharging the drone, and whether the drone has sufficient power to reach the intended destination. By enabling drones to piggyback with hosts, the required traveling range for a drone may be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2017Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignees: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P., AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Jeffrey Mikan, Fulvio Cenciarelli, John P.
