Publication number: 20250078378Abstract: The disclosed technology relates to detection of attention exhibited by a second user to a first user's avatar in a virtual reality environment. A first user's avatar activity and the second user's activity are evaluated to determine the second user's (e.g., via another avatar) attention level directed towards first user's avatar. Information can be sent to notify the first user that the second user's attention level has satisfied attention-level criterion data. For example, if the second user is viewing and/or is within audio range of the first user for too long of a time or too frequently, then the first user can be notified and/or other action taken. Remedial action is available for negative attention, such blocking the second user from experiencing the first user in the environment. Detection of attention for positive purposes is available, such as to reward an influencer whose avatar is receiving significant attention from followers.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2024Publication date: March 6, 2025Applicant: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Nigel Bradley, Eric Zavesky, James Pratt, Ari Craine, Robert Koch

Patent number: 12245203Abstract: Dynamic frame structure coordination is performed between a parent integrated access and backhaul (IAB) node and child IAB node based on one or more multiplexing options. The parent node sends a dynamic frame structure coordination (DFSC) message to an IAB user equipment function of a child node, indicating that resources are available or released, overriding a semi-statically coordinated and configured downlink/uplink resource pattern. The parent node can make, or the child node can request, the modification. The DFSC message includes multiplexing option(s). The child IAB node's user equipment function communicates the frame structure update to the child node's distributed unit function, which allows the distributed unit function to utilize those resources in accordance with the multiplexing option.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2021Date of Patent: March 4, 2025Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventor: Thomas Novlan
