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.

Patent number: 10694348Abstract: Wireless communication via a mesh network of connected movable objects is described. A method includes determining, by a device including a processor, a value of a characteristic of a first movable object of movable objects communicatively coupled to a wireless network, wherein the movable objects are automated vehicles, and wherein the determining the value is based on a likelihood of receipt of a message transmitted from the first movable object to a second movable object of the movable objects. The method also includes generating information usable to move the first movable object in a manner that satisfies a defined condition associated with the value. The information can be strength of a wireless communication channel between the first movable object and a second movable object of the movable objects.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2019Date of Patent: June 23, 2020Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Christopher Baldwin, Nikhil S Marathe

Patent number: 10687019Abstract: A network-based, e.g., cloud-based, and apparatus based in-call command control for dynamically performing user commands such as voice commands or gesture commands are provided. The result allows for hands free operation of a calling system including one where the user is located separate from a base station, and provides for recognizing both voice and gestural commands. Filtering of commands can be performed dynamically so that commands are not perceived by those participating in the call. Further, the user, who has given the command, can be notified regarding the performance of the requested command.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2019Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventor: Christopher Baldwin
