Publication number: 20220417174Abstract: Management of immersive reality devices via a reduced competition core network component is disclosed. The reduced competition core network component can preferentially be reserved for immersive reality device data and can therefore exclude some or all other types of data typically associated with conventional wireless network devices, e.g., phone, tablet/laptop computers, IoT devices, etc. This can result in immersive reality data communication that does not have to compete with more generic data types for network or computing resources. Additionally, the reduced competition core network component can be divided into at least one reduced competition user-plane network component and at least one reduced competition control-plane network component. Use of a reduced competition user-plane network component can avoid generating additional carrier network traffic. Further, a reduced competition user-plane network component can facilitate non-carrier entity authentication, security protocols, etc.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 1, 2022Publication date: December 29, 2022Inventors: Arturo Maria, Alexander E. Silverman, Jeffrey Joseph Farah

Patent number: 9955328Abstract: A device automatically is configured to the emergency alert system (EAS) channel utilized by the location from which the device registers with a network. In an example configuration, an EAS server provides a mobile switching center (MSC) configuration information regarding the emergency alert channels to be used for the cellular sites supported by the MSC. When the mobile device registers via a cellular site supported by the MSC, the designated channel to be used for EAS messages is sent to the mobile device as part of the registration process. The mobile device assigns an internal channel to the designated channel. In another example configuration, the mobile device is preconfigured with a table listing all possible EAS channels, and the MSC provides, during the registration process, a pointer to the appropriate portion of the table.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2016Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Brian Kevin Daly, DeWayne Allan Sennett, Alexander E.

Patent number: 9185208Abstract: Calendar-callback voicemail that provides proposed callback times is described herein. Calendar-callback voicemail includes a calendar callback service that access, among other things, calendar information and location information. The calendar callback service uses that information to provide a proposed callback time to the caller, which the caller may accept or reject. A recipient of the voicemail can access the calendar callback service to schedule times in which callback times are not to be proposed. Further, the calendar callback service may connect the caller and the recipient at the time of the proposed call.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2008Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventor: Alexander E.

Publication number: 20130279664Abstract: A technique for managing simultaneous incoming and outgoing calls between the same far-end called terminal and far-end calling terminal and/or same user associated with a far-end called terminal and user associated with the far-end calling terminal includes an easy call abandon facility on a near-end terminal configured to compare information associated with an outgoing call to information associated with an incoming call. The easy call abandon facility is configured to initiate an audible or visible indicator when the terminal and/or user of the far-end called party is the same as that of the far-end calling party. In response to an easy call abandon indication received from a near-end terminal user, the easy call abandon facility disconnects the call from the near-end and connects the call received from the far-end terminal.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2013Publication date: October 24, 2013Inventors: Stephen John Ambrose, Robert Z.
