Patent number: 11928112Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that use a trained process to reply to a request comprising query data defining a query and context data defining contextual factors for the query from a device. The query is answered by one or more selected APIs of a plurality of APIs that invoke respective services to prepare a response. The trained process determines an execution plan responsive to the query data and the context data and is configured using training to define execution plans comprising selected APIs where a particular API is selected for the plan if it answers at least a portion of the query and the selected APIs together prepare the response optimized for the device according to the context data. The plan is provided to an execution component to execute the plan using the selected APIs and send the response to the requesting device.Type: GrantFiled: April 23, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: The Toronto-Dominion BankInventors: Milos Dunjic, Martin Albert Lozon, David Samuel Tax, Arthur Carroll Chow, Peter Glen Nairn, Edward James Hood, John Jong-Suk Lee, Arun Victor Jagga

Patent number: 9942417Abstract: A method for providing local cordless service comprises the steps of receiving subscriber neighborhood zone selection input so that a mobile telephone equipped subscriber may place or receive calls for a fixed rate, for example, per month without having to pay radio frequency air time charges any time they are located within their selected subscribed-to zones. If the subscribed-to zones are adjacent to one another and the mobile subscriber roans from one zone to another, the subscriber may continue their fee call uninterrupted and without paying air time charges. However, when the subscriber roans outside their subscribed-to zones they may be switched from the present local cordless services to conventional personal communications services and pay air time charges. However for an active call, No air-time charges are incurred as the user transitions between the cellular/DPCS environment and the local cordless service environment.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2017Date of Patent: April 10, 2018Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY II, L.P.Inventors: Albert Chow, Spencer Wang, Wenchu Ying
