Patent number: 9077565Abstract: Sharing content among users of mobile devices is facilitated and controlled by a system and method that employs a content sharing application to receive and process requests to share content among users of devices such as mobile devices and personal computers. Recipients receive share content messages from the content sharing application indicating that they have been selected to access shared content. Such messages may provide direct or indirect access to the shared content via the recipient mobile device. Recipients can specify privacy management schemes to limit or control the receipt of such messages. The content sharing application may also provide various spam filtering techniques that prevent users from abusing the system, including restricting the number or type of requests to share content that may be effectuated over time.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2012Date of Patent: July 7, 2015Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Anuraag Agrawal, Bryan Sullivan

Patent number: 8909700Abstract: Methods and apparatus for determining and maintaining user presence information include capturing user presence data with an application presence server. The application presence server can be configured to update user presence data as a user initiates or exits an application. Applications associated with user presence data are configured to query an application proxy client concerning user presence data of a selected user and, based on a returned user status, deliver, discard, or redirect a message intended for the user. User presence data is stored in a user presence repository and can be provided via Internet-based or other connections to applications executed on external networks. User activity status can be used to select or update user presence data. In some examples, an application server of an external network is configured to receive user presence data from the presence server.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2012Date of Patent: December 9, 2014Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventor: Anuraag Agrawal

Patent number: 8130668Abstract: Sharing content among users of mobile devices is facilitated and controlled by a system and method that employs a content sharing application to receive and process requests to share content amongst users of devices such as mobile devices and personal computers. Recipients receive share content messages from the content sharing application. The messages may contain links to shared content. The content sharing application is associated with an application program interface made available to content providers so that they can create user-selectable share content links or options displayed on display descriptions associated with the content. The content sharing application performs device capability checks so that selected recipients do not receive share content messages that contain links to content that is not compatible with their devices.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2009Date of Patent: March 6, 2012Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Anuraag Agrawal, Ed Lambert, Gerry D'Souza

Patent number: 7849135Abstract: Sharing content among users of mobile devices is facilitated by a system and method that employs a content sharing application to receive requests to share content with one or more users of mobile devices. Content providers provide some of the information in such requests to share content by including, in addition to the content, links or other user-selectable options to share the content. A provided application program interface makes it easy for content providers to participate. Users of devices such as personal computers or mobile devices browse content and select content to share with friends or other users of mobile devices using an intuitive interface. Recipients of shared content receive messages from the content sharing application indicating that they have been selected to receive shared content. Such messages may provide direct or indirect access to the shared content via the recipient mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2004Date of Patent: December 7, 2010Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Anuraag Agrawal, Jeff Yee
