Publication number: 20140329548Abstract: A first mobile device may receive, via a text messaging application, first location information from a second mobile device. The first location information may indicate a first geographic location of the second mobile device. The first mobile device may receive, via the text messaging application, second location information from the second mobile device. The second location information may indicate a second geographic location of the second mobile device. The first mobile device may generate, based on the first location information and the second location information, a graphical representation. The graphical representation may represent a movement of the second mobile device from the first geographic location to the second geographic location. The first mobile device may provide the graphical representation for display via a display associated with the first mobile device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2013Publication date: November 6, 2014Applicants: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc., Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon WirelessInventors: Mahendra THARSHANAN, Amir MAYBLUM, Jerry M.

Publication number: 20140317198Abstract: A device may be configured to receive a message from a user device; and determine whether the message includes a parameter. When the message does not include the loop indicator parameter, the device may add the loop indicator parameter to the message to generate a first modified message, and output the first modified message toward an intended recipient of the message. When the message includes the loop indicator parameter, the device may determine whether a value of the loop indicator parameter exceeds a threshold value. When the value of the loop indicator parameter does not exceed the threshold value, the device may discard the message. When the value of the loop indicator parameter exceeds the threshold value, the device may modify the value of the loop indicator parameter value to generate a second modified message, and output the second modified message toward the intended recipient of the message.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 17, 2013Publication date: October 23, 2014Applicant: CELLCO PARTNERSHIP D/B/A VERIZON WIRELESSInventors: Sethumadhav Bendi, Bradley D.

Publication number: 20140270709Abstract: A device receives an indication that a user of the device wishes to share media content with another user. The device identifies a size associated with the media content and an acceptable media content size for successful transmission over a communication network. The size associated with the media content is compared with the acceptable media content size to determine whether the size associated with the media content exceeds the acceptable media content size. Upon determining that the size associated with the media content exceeds the acceptable media content size, the device enables the user of the device to reduce the size of the media content to the acceptable media content size. The user is enabled to graphically determine when the media content is reduced to the acceptable media content size.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2013Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: CELLCO PARTNERSHIP D/B/A VERIZON WIRELESSInventors: Amir MAYBLUM, Lutz EHRLICH, Jerry M.

Patent number: 8588818Abstract: For a location-based broadcast messaging service, a broadcast server receives a broadcast request from a business application server. The broadcast request includes a message, at least one identifier for target mobile devices, and an identifier for a location. The broadcast server sends a location query including the identifier for the location to location agents associated with the target mobile devices. In response to receiving the location query, each location agent determines whether the location of the associated mobile device is within or otherwise satisfies a requirement related to the identified location. If the location of the device is within the identified location or satisfies the requirement, the location agent sends a query response to the broadcast server and receives, from the broadcast server, the message included in the broadcast request. The broadcast request can include a time-period identifier, such that the location agent determines the device location during the time-period.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2011Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Cellco PartnershipInventors: Ye Huang, Jerry Kupsh, Hugh Fletcher, Amir Mayblum

Patent number: 8590057Abstract: A server may receive encryption key requests that each identify a sender of the encryption key request and at least one recipient of information that is to be encrypted with the requested encryption key. In response, an encryption key may be sent to the sender of the encryption key request. Information identifying the sender and the at least one recipient may be stored. The server may receive decryption key requests that each identify a sender of the decryption key request and a sender of encrypted information. In response, a decryption key may be sent to the sender of the decryption key request if and only if the sender of encrypted information and the sender of the decryption key request, as both identified by the information in the decryption key request, match, respectively, a sender of an encryption key request and an associated recipient, as both identified by the stored information.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2011Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Cellco PartnershipInventors: Amir Mayblum, Ye Huang

Patent number: 8331963Abstract: A method that enables provisioning of mobile station messages to multiple devices associated with the sender and/or receiver includes receiving, at a mobile messaging service center, a mobile messaging service message; identifying a destination mobile station associated with the received message, the destination mobile station having a Mobile Directory Number and corresponding to a primary device of a customer of a mobile communication network provider; and delivering, through a mobile communication network, the received message to the primary device of the customer. The method also includes steps of determining whether the customer subscribes to a Messaging Anywhere (MA) service; upon determination that the customer subscribers to the MA service, delivering, from the mobile messaging service center, a copy of the received message to an MA server; and delivering, from the MA server, the message to a secondary device previously identified by the customer.Type: GrantFiled: January 4, 2012Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: Cellco Partnership D/B/A Verizon WirelessInventors: Zhijian Lin, Amir Mayblum, Ning-Chia Yeh, Chong Wang, Heather Goodson, Jerry Kupsh

Publication number: 20090327065Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for including sponsorship or advertising content in mobile messages by appending a sponsored advertisement to a text or multimedia message sent from one mobile device to another. In one aspect, the content of the advertisement to be appended is selected based upon the content of the mobile message being sent, such as a particular keyword. Additionally, information on the message recipient can be used to select an appropriate message, including stored profile information on the message recipient and volatile information such as the recipient's current location or local time of day. The sponsorship content may be appended to the end of the message so it is easily visible to the recipient.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2008Publication date: December 31, 2009Inventor: Amir Mayblum

Publication number: 20050273487Abstract: A system and a method for enabling existing web content to become multimodal. The system has a browser providing a user with markup language web pages. In addition, the system has an agent for creating dynamic grammar for a web page loaded by the browser. The dynamic grammar has one or more commands and one or more corresponding labels. A command is a markup language tag or a markup object used to navigate the browser and a label is content text that corresponds to the command. The system also includes a speech recognition engine, which receives user voice input and compares the received input to the labels in the dynamic grammar. When the speech recognition engine finds a match, the speech recognition engine transmits the corresponding command to the agent and the agent navigates the browser using the command.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2004Publication date: December 8, 2005Inventors: Amir Mayblum, Michael Cogan
