Patent number: 10574808Abstract: Embodiments are provided for automatically setting an alert mode on a wireless device. Scheduling data is received which defines a predetermined period utilized to set the alert mode. The scheduling data may be received either by direct input in the wireless device or alternatively from an external edge device, such as a network server, in a communications network. In response to receiving the scheduling data, an alert mode on the wireless device is automatically set for the predetermined period. The alert mode may include a silent alert mode on the wireless device. The wireless device may include a sensor for receiving data indicative of a current external state. The sensor data may include location data, temperature data, and ambient noise data. The received sensor data may be utilized to automatically trigger the setting of an alert mode in the wireless device.Type: GrantFiled: July 25, 2016Date of Patent: February 25, 2020Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Quenton Gilbert, James Carlton Bedingfield, Sr., Steven Tischer

Patent number: 9292608Abstract: Implementing intelligent agent services includes generating an ontological domain for an individual based upon information elements that represent aspects of detectable behaviors of the individual at a point in time. The detectable behaviors occur within a physical and virtual geography and in relation to time. The services also include creating subdomains of contextually organized collections of the information elements and information elements collected from previously conducted detectable behaviors of the individual. The subdomains include orthogonally related data. The services further include determining a relevance of relationships among the information elements across the subdomains. Relationships determined to be relevant are identified as an interest of the individual. The services also include searching sources of information using the information elements having the relationships determined to be relevant and identifying a solution for satisfying the interest responsive to the searching.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2012Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P., via transfer from BELLSOUTH INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CORPORATIONInventor: Steven Tischer
