Patent number: 11638128Abstract: Centralized management of the Internet of Things resolves user difficulties. Connected devices may be associated with an owner's or user's electronic profile. The electronic profile may be represented as a graphical user interface (such as a webpage), thus allowing remote management of the connected devices. The owner or user may thus configure the electronic profile to define what electronic data is shared and with whom.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2021Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Brian Greaves, Stephen Thomas Hardin, Erie Lai Har Lau, Robert Osterwise

Publication number: 20230086570Abstract: Power conservation for devices is facilitated based on likelihood of power usage level. An example method can comprise determining, by a first device comprising a processor, that a second device is within a defined proximity of a third device, wherein the third device is determined to be operating in a mode according to a first power consumption operation that satisfies a defined condition, and wherein the operating in the mode according to the first power consumption operation is based on the third device being located at a defined location. The method can also comprise facilitating, by the first device, modification of the mode of the third device based on a determination of a likelihood of usage of a second power consumption operation by the third device. In various embodiments, the third device is configured to operate according to the power save mode or the extended discontinuous reception mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 23, 2022Publication date: March 23, 2023Inventors: Stephen Thomas Hardin, Erie Lai Har Lau, Brian Greaves, Robert Osterwise
