Publication number: 20230281636Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for generating customer experience scores. An example method may include determining, via a processor, a first event impacting one or more users on a network. The example method may also include determining, via the processor, a first time period during which the first event occurs. The example method may also include determining, via the processor, a first number of interactions that occurred during the first time period between the one or more users and a network service provider. The example method may also include determining, via the processor and using a correlation model, a first relationship between the first event and the first number of interactions during the first time period. The example method may also include determining, via the processor, a second event impacting a first user.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 7, 2022Publication date: September 7, 2023Applicant: Cox Communications, Inc.Inventors: Brad Pfaff, London Lamb, Ryan Carroll, Damon Hansen, Bryana Benson, Brian Stublen, Brandy Riherd, Ben Vijayakumar, Kieran Ram, Christian Welin

Patent number: 11611467Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to network outage management. A method may include receiving a first indication of a first cable system outage. The method may include identifying a start time associated with the first cable system outage, and determining, based on the start time, a time period during which to refrain from generating a service ticket indicative of the first cable system outage. The method may include determining that the first cable system outage has not ended at an end time of the time period, and receiving a second indication of a second cable system outage. The method may include determining that the second cable system outage begins during the time period and has not ended at the end time. The method may include generating and sending a service ticket indicative of the first cable system outage and the second cable system outage.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2022Date of Patent: March 21, 2023Assignee: Cox Communications, Inc.Inventors: Drew Milley, Tuba Aktaran-Kalayci, Brad Pfaff, Brian Stublen, Shane Yates, Will Gao, Christian Welin

Patent number: 11489601Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products for auto-adjustment signal quality. A method may include determining one or more cable modem devices configured to communicate with a device via a network. The method may include sending poll requests to the one or more cable modem devices to determine a signal power level associated with each of the one or more cable modem devices. The method may include receiving a first poll response from a first cable modem device. The method may include determining, based on the first poll response, a first signal strength associated with the first cable modem device. The method may include determining that the first signal strength deviates from a signal strength threshold. The method may include determining, based on the determination that the first signal strength deviates from the signal strength threshold, a first adjustment to an output power of the device for the first cable modem device.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2020Date of Patent: November 1, 2022Assignee: Cox Communications, Inc.Inventors: Shane Yates, Joseph Keller, Christian Welin, Amrit Shaswat, Brian Stublen, Brad Pfaff, Drew Milley, Alexis Hwang, David Norman

Patent number: 11323306Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and method for accelerated network impairment mapping. An example method may involve receiving, from a subset of downstream devices on a network, telemetry data associated with the performance of the subset of downstream devices. The example method may also involve determining, based on the telemetry data, that an impairment exists at a first device of the subset of downstream devices. The example method may also involve requesting, based on the determination that the impairment exists at the first device, telemetry data from one or more neighboring devices to the first device. The example method may also involve determining, based on the telemetry data from the one or more neighboring devices, that an impairment also exists at a second device of the one or more neighboring devices. The example method may also involve determining a lowest common ancestor to the first device and the second device on the network.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2020Date of Patent: May 3, 2022Assignee: Cox Communications, Inc.Inventors: Joseph Keller, Sam Plant, Shane Yates, Christian Welin, Alexis Hwang, David Moon, Brad Demerich
