Patent number: 8509406Abstract: A method for integrating presence services into a telecommunications system that includes a presence server. The method includes receiving a query, by the presence server from service logic, the query including call parameters and call information, regarding a call from a session initiator to a session terminator. The method also includes comparing, by the presence server, the call parameters and the call information with a stored presence profile established for the session terminator, the stored presence profile including preferred treatment information. The method further includes collecting usage information of the session terminator, and automatically generating the preferred treatment information, when the preferred treatment information has not been established. The method then determines a treatment of the call, by the presence server, based upon the stored presence profile and the preferred treatment information.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2009Date of Patent: August 13, 2013Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Stephen Mark Mueller, Alicia Marie Russell

Patent number: 8027700Abstract: A method includes receiving an identification value from a wireless beacon at a mobile device when the mobile device is within a detection area of the wireless beacon. The method also includes determining whether the wireless beacon is a recognized wireless beacon based on the identification value using a look up table accessible to the mobile device. An alternate communication address is selected from the look up table based on the identification value received from the wireless beacon, and communications addressed to the mobile device are redirected to the alternate communication address.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2010Date of Patent: September 27, 2011Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventor: Alicia Marie Russell

Patent number: 7965997Abstract: A system and method are disclosed to support multiple wireless account for a given subscriber. A method that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, linking various accounts to a wireless enabled device of a wireless service subscriber. In one embodiment, device addresses like telephone numbers and electronic mail addresses for devices that may call or be called by the subscriber may be associated one of the various accounts. In operation, a call may be completed between the subscriber's wireless enabled device and one of the other devices, and a call metric for the call may be tracked. A billing entry for the call may be generated from the call metric and the call may be charged to an appropriate account selected from the various accounts. The process of determining the appropriate account may include, for example, determining if the device address for the other device is associated with one of the accounts linked to the subscriber's wireless enabled device.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2004Date of Patent: June 21, 2011Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Stephen A. Sposato, Wayne Robert Heinmiller, Alicia Marie Russell, Charles C. Hooper, II

Patent number: 7769392Abstract: In a particular embodiment, a system is provided that includes a wireless beacon to provide wireless data communication with a mobile telephone to detect a location of the mobile telephone within a wireless detection area provided by a wireless beacon, and a communication interface to send a call forwarding message to a cellular switch. The call forwarding message provides an instruction to route future calls destined for the mobile telephone to an alternate network address. In another embodiment, a method of selecting a destination telephone is disclosed that includes detecting a location of a mobile telephone within a wireless detection area provided by a wireless beacon, and sending a call forwarding message to a wide area switch having a communication path targeted to the mobile telephone. The call forwarding message provides an instruction to route future calls destined for the mobile telephone to an alternative communication path.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2003Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventor: Alicia Marie Russell

Patent number: 7751388Abstract: A broadband communication channel access network comprises an Ethernet device disposed in a serving area interface. The Ethernet device serves as an Ethernet bridge for a neighborhood service area. The Ethernet device communicates with a plurality of customer premises modems in the neighborhood service area. An Ethernet switch disposed at a central office communicates with the Ethernet device via a fiber optic medium using an Internet Protocol over a second Ethernet standard. The Ethernet switch provides a packet data core network termination.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2007Date of Patent: July 6, 2010Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Russell William White, Alicia Marie Russell, Ahmad Ansari, Weijing Chen, Stephen Mark Mueller, Dinesh Nadaralah, Chin Yuan

Patent number: 7660898Abstract: A telecommunications network is enhanced with a presence component. A session initiator requests a session with a session terminator by contacting a presence server. The presence server receives the request for presence information and processes the request by comparing the session initiator's identity to preferences of the session terminator to identify a preferred treatment. The presence server returns the preferred treatment to the session initiator. The session is then initiated or not initiated based upon the preferred treatment.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2003Date of Patent: February 9, 2010Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Stephen Mark Mueller, Alicia Marie Russell

Patent number: 7606218Abstract: A digital subscriber line access network comprises a remote Ethernet device disposed in a serving area interface. The remote Ethernet device serves as an Ethernet bridge for a neighborhood service area. The remote Ethernet device communicates with a plurality of customer premises modems in the neighborhood service area using an Internet Protocol over an Ethernet standard with a digital subscriber line physical layer. An Ethernet switch disposed at a central office communicates with the remote Ethernet device via a fiber optic medium using an Internet Protocol over a second Ethernet standard. The Ethernet switch provides a packet data core network termination.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2004Date of Patent: October 20, 2009Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property 1, L.P.Inventors: Russell William White, Alicia Marie Russell, Ahmad Ansari, Weijing Chen, Stephen Mark Mueller, Dinesh Nadaralah, Chin Yuan

Patent number: 7146153Abstract: An access point of a private wireless network can be installed at many different locations. A call originating from the private wireless network includes a telephone number, which is associated with a location where the access point is installed, in the call setup information. A mapping of the telephone number to an access point ID is established, where the telephone number is associated with the access point point of connection into the network. Accordingly, a location-based service, such as emergency 911, can locate a caller in a private wireless network.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2003Date of Patent: December 5, 2006Assignee: SBC Knowledge Ventures, L.P.Inventor: Alicia Marie Russell
