Patent number: 10764769Abstract: A mechanism is provided for direct interaction between an individual and a communication network. Captured data is received of the individual in an environment to be analyzed by a network management computer. The data is captured by network sensors. The network management computer determines that the individual is a subscriber to services of the communication network by identifying the subscriber from the data that has been captured. The subscriber is registered with a network carrier that operates and provides the services on the communication network. The data is obtained without assistance from a subscriber owned device providing the data. The data is analyzed to interpret commands when presented by the subscriber via the network sensors. The commands include gesture commands from the subscriber. An action is performed for the subscriber based on the commands.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2016Date of Patent: September 1, 2020Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Christopher Baldwin, Bruce Barnes, Wayne R. Heinmiller, Patrick Kenny, Shadi Khoshaba, Dolores J. Mallian, Nikhil S. Marathe, Charles M. Stahulak, Michael Towster

Patent number: 10367706Abstract: A processor may detect an occurrence of a network anomaly from a set of network operational data collected for a portion of a communication network within a geographic area, detect an occurrence of a weather event from a set of weather data for the geographic area, and determine an occurrence of a weather-related network impairment when the occurrence of the network anomaly and the occurrence of the weather event are detected within a time period, and when the network anomaly and the weather event match a signature for the weather-related network impairment. The processor may further receive, within a time window associated with the time period, a fault report associated with a customer premises within the geographic area and provide a notification and an instruction set to resolve the weather-related network impairment, where the instruction set is stored in a solution record associated with the signature.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2016Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: James Gordon Beattie, Jr., Henry Randolph, Roque Rios, III, Charles M.

Patent number: 9317846Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are disclosed which relate to using a remote scanner for mobile transactions. A point of sale (POS) terminal communicates with a remote scanner that is removably coupled to the POS terminal. Logic on the POS terminal generates a request for a transaction information and transmits the request along with a restriction to the remote scanner. Logic on the remote scanner receives the request and the restriction, transmits the request to a mobile device, receives the transaction information while monitoring the restriction, and transmits the transaction information to the POS terminal for processing. The transaction information may be provided subject to the restriction.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2015Date of Patent: April 19, 2016Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Christopher F.

Patent number: 9280772Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are disclosed which relate to an NFC-enabled security token that is removably coupled to a mobile device. The security token may be provisioned with the information by the mobile device, then decoupled from the mobile device and used to authenticate the user or perform a transaction at a POS terminal equipped with an NFC reader. The security token includes logic for user-controlled restrictions on allowable purchases, such as payment limits, timeouts, vendor identifiers, allowed purchases, and location-based restrictions. The security token is further equipped with “self-destruct” security features, such as deactivating itself or erasing any sensitive information upon being unable to contact the mobile device for a specified duration, or being subject to an unauthorized or restricted transaction, until such time as it is re-coupled to the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2014Date of Patent: March 8, 2016Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Christopher F. Baldwin, Bruce Barnes, Patrick J. Kenny, Shadi I. Khoshaba, Dolores J. Mallian, Nikhil S. Marathe, Charles M. Stahulak
