  • Patent number: 11451501
    Abstract: A rich communication services (RCS) system may receive a message associated with content. The message may be transmitted by a first user device and destined for a second user device and associated with content. The RCS system may receive subscription data associated with a user of the first user device and including information indicating whether content filtering is enabled for the user. The RCS system may determine whether content filtering is enabled for the user based on the subscription data, and may process the content, when the content filtering is enabled for the user and with a machine learning model, to determine whether to filter the content. The RCS system may perform one or more actions based on whether the content is to be filtered.

  • Patent number: 10070302
    Abstract: A network device receives signaling associated with a wireless device of a subscriber to a delay-tolerant wireless network service, and downloads a service profile of the subscriber from a Home Subscriber Server (HSS) associated with a wireless network. The network device retrieves, from the downloaded service profile, a signaling priority value associated with the subscriber or with the wireless device, and identifies whether the signaling priority value indicates a low priority value. The network device prioritizes the processing of signaling associated with a plurality of wireless devices based on whether the signaling priority value indicates the low priority value, wherein the plurality of wireless devices includes the wireless device.

  • Patent number: 9503283
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided for remotely rebooting Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communication devices. In general, the apparatus remotely selects VoIP communication devices connected to a network, reboots the selected devices, and evaluates the status of each device. A processor allows a user to select VoIP communication devices connected to the network and receives inputs pertaining to the reboot operation, including a time input and search criteria. The processor communicates with the designated VoIP communication devices over a packet-switching network to instruct the devices to reboot and monitors each device. In this way, multiple VoIP communication devices may be rebooted from a remote location, and problems or issues that arise during the reboot process may be identified and addressed. An associated method and computer program product are also provided for remotely rebooting VoIP communication devices.

  • Patent number: 9426643
    Abstract: A network device receives a personal Mobile Directory Number (MDN) associated with an individual subscriber, wherein the individual subscriber is further associated with one or more subscriber devices. The network device receives an additional MDN assigned to the individual subscriber, and sends a notification, requesting the individual subscriber's acceptance of the additional MDN assigned to the individual subscriber, to at least one of the one or more subscriber devices. The network device receives, from one of the one or more subscriber devices, an acceptance of the additional MDN from the individual subscriber. The network device links the additional MDN, the personal MDN, and the one or more subscriber devices, within an Implicit Registration Set (IRS) at a Home Subscriber Server (HSS) in an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network for routing calls to the individual subscriber's additional MDN or personal MDN at the one or more subscriber devices.

  • Patent number: 9220117
    Abstract: A system may include a first Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network comprising one or more devices configured to receive a first registration request for a first mobile directory number (MDN), associated with a subscriber, wherein the first MDN corresponds to a home mobile directory number with respect to the first IMS network; and register the first MDN with the first IMS network. The one or more device may be further configured to detect a service point trigger, associated with the subscriber, to register a second MDN, foreign to the first IMS network, with a second IMS network, in response to the first MDN being registered; and send a second registration request to the second IMS network, to register the second MDN with the second IMS network.
