Patent number: 11736349Abstract: A device associated with a network may provide a subscription request that requests data associated with the network and user equipment connected to the network. The device may receive, based on the subscription request, network congestion data associated with the network, reachability data associated with the user equipment, and location data associated with the user equipment. The device may determine a group of the user equipment based on the network congestion data, the reachability data, and the location data. The device may determine timing for providing firmware to the group based on capabilities of the user equipment in the group. The device may provide segments of the firmware to the network to cause the network to provide the segments of the firmware to the group based on the timing for providing the firmware to the group.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2020Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Ye Huang, Jin Yang, Rachel Ward, Kristen Sydney Young, Gulay Kurt Chrzanowski, Prema Kumar Yendrapati, Brian Matthew White, Carlos Cazanas, John F.

Patent number: 9734715Abstract: The various examples disclosed herein relate to systems, methods, and equipment that provide location and velocity monitoring of both a user's vehicle and another vehicle to avoid collision. The examples are applicable for using on-board telematics units to process that information and provide additional information based thereon such as the probability of collision. In some examples, if the chances of collision are high based on information received, warnings may be given to the vehicle's user. Based on these warnings, the user may take evasive maneuvers to reduce the probability of collision and prevent it. In other examples, if the chances of collision are high, the vehicle may decelerate without prompting from the user to minimize the impact of the collision. Any emergency reporting by the telematics unit, e.g. if a collision still occurred, may be enhanced with the relative location and velocity data from some interval the prior to emergency.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2015Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: Cellco PartnershipInventors: Carlos A. Cazanas, Azam Khan, Matthew Butz

Patent number: 9326187Abstract: A method of sharing a streaming content item to a target user equipment (UE) device on a network includes identifying a UE device on the network that is currently receiving the content item. The method determines whether the target and source UE devices are serviced by a common base station. If they are, the method commands the base station to multicast the content item to the UE device and the target UE device. The method also includes sharing a content item stored on a first UE device with a second UE device by commanding the first UE device to send the content item to the second UE device without going through the network or by commanding the first UE device to upload the content item to the base station and then downloading the content item from the base station to the first UE device.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2013Date of Patent: April 26, 2016Assignee: Cellco PartnershipInventors: Carlos A.

Patent number: 9219766Abstract: Systems and methods for IMS telephony enabled information exchange are disclosed. In some implementations, a transfer request to transfer a file from a first user to a second user is received at a IMS gateway and during an ongoing telephone call established between a first device associated with the first user and a second device associated with the second user. The second user on the ongoing telephone call is identified at the IMS gateway. Upon identifying the second user and responsive to the transfer request, the file is transferred from the first user to the second user.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2013Date of Patent: December 22, 2015Assignee: Cellco PartnershipInventors: Carlos A.

Patent number: 9173133Abstract: A mobile device includes a transceiver that receives data from a network, and transmits data to the network, an input interface that receives input data from a user of the device, and a processor. The processor is configured to receive an input from the input interface indicating a desired quality of service (QoS) requested by the user for a communication session through the network. The processor is also configured to append a code corresponding to the desired QoS to a session initiation protocol (SIP) invite message relating to set-up of the communication session, and transmit the SIP invite message to the network by the transceiver to control the network to provide the desired QoS during communication between the mobile device and another device via the communication session through the network.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2013Date of Patent: October 27, 2015Assignee: Cellco PartnershipInventors: Carlos A.

Patent number: 9113383Abstract: A call is made from a user equipment (UE) device to a first other UE device that is paired to a short range communications device. The first other UE device monitors the respective connections between short range communications device and the first other UE device and a second other UE device and automatically hands over the telephone call from the first other UE device to the second other UE device when the connection between the short range communications device and the second other UE device is stronger than the connection between the short-range communications device and the other first UE device. The cordless headset 172 is concurrently handed off from the first other UE device to the second other UE device.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2013Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: Cellco PartnershipInventors: Carlos A.

Patent number: 9106803Abstract: An accessory device, such as a mobile telematics unit, captures tags for user desired media content items from a content broadcast, such as a digital radio broadcast or television broadcast. Each tag provides one or more parameters for identification of a song or other audio selection. The accessory device sends each tag over a mobile communications network air interface, with an identifier of an account of a mobile communications network subscriber. A server receives such tag transmissions and compiles a list of one or more tags directly from the accessory device, for the subscriber on the identified mobile service account. In some situations, the server generates a playlist from the stored list of tags and communicates at least a portion of the playlist to a personal media device, upon access by the personal media device to the subscriber's account.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2009Date of Patent: August 11, 2015Assignee: Cellco PartnershipInventors: Carlos A.

Patent number: 9060275Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for synchronizing automated reply configuration settings between different messaging services for an individual user of a mobile device. User account information and an authentication key are registered at a server of a first messaging service associated with the mobile device and a second messaging service associated with a client of the second messaging service. In response to a request for access to an automated reply function of the first messaging service from the client of the second messaging service, it is determined whether or not the client is authorized for access based on a comparison of authentication information included in the client's request with the authentication key registered for the mobile device. If the client is authorized successfully, the client is allowed to access the automated reply function in accordance with configuration information specified in the request from the client.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2012Date of Patent: June 16, 2015Assignee: Cellco PartnershipInventors: Carlos A.
