Patent number: 11638128Abstract: Centralized management of the Internet of Things resolves user difficulties. Connected devices may be associated with an owner's or user's electronic profile. The electronic profile may be represented as a graphical user interface (such as a webpage), thus allowing remote management of the connected devices. The owner or user may thus configure the electronic profile to define what electronic data is shared and with whom.Type: GrantFiled: January 22, 2021Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Brian Greaves, Stephen Thomas Hardin, Erie Lai Har Lau, Robert Osterwise

Publication number: 20230086570Abstract: Power conservation for devices is facilitated based on likelihood of power usage level. An example method can comprise determining, by a first device comprising a processor, that a second device is within a defined proximity of a third device, wherein the third device is determined to be operating in a mode according to a first power consumption operation that satisfies a defined condition, and wherein the operating in the mode according to the first power consumption operation is based on the third device being located at a defined location. The method can also comprise facilitating, by the first device, modification of the mode of the third device based on a determination of a likelihood of usage of a second power consumption operation by the third device. In various embodiments, the third device is configured to operate according to the power save mode or the extended discontinuous reception mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 23, 2022Publication date: March 23, 2023Inventors: Stephen Thomas Hardin, Erie Lai Har Lau, Brian Greaves, Robert Osterwise

Patent number: 10819793Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method including receiving, by a processing system comprising a processor, media content from a media processor device via a first wireless communication network, where the media content can be received at the media processor device from a subscription media source. The method can include storing the media content received from the media processor device, initiating a first connection to an in-vehicle communication system, accessing a second wireless communication network generated by the in-vehicle communication system, initiating a second connection, via the second wireless communication network, to a media device detected on the second wireless communication network, and transmitting a stream of the media content to the media device via the second wireless communication network, wherein the media device reproduces the media content from the stream of the media content. Other embodiments are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2016Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignees: AT&T Mobility II LLC, The DIRECTV Group, Inc.Inventors: Todd Rose, Brian Greaves, Stephen H.

Patent number: 10587626Abstract: An aspect includes storing data elements in a storage space of a memory device. The storage space is allocated for an account of a subscriber of a universal subscriber identification system. An aspect also includes assigning subscriber-inputted security levels to the data elements. The security levels define varying degrees of access protections associated with the data elements. An aspect further includes generating a security envelope that includes a data element selected from the storage space. The security envelope is configured with an access protection scheme that is commensurate with a corresponding assigned security level. An aspect also includes providing access to the selected data element by another subscriber of the universal subscriber identification system via the security envelope. The access is provided in accordance with the access protection scheme.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2018Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: AT&T MOBILITY II LLCInventors: Robert Osterwise, Brian Greaves, Stephen T.
