  • Publication number: 20230379333
    Abstract: To provide a primary use with the required authorized services, a user information interface system (UIIS) provides authorization to send a user profile associated with the primary user to one or more types of users. The UIIS can receive a request from a user for access to a user profile. The request can comprise authorization information received from a network device associated with the primary user. The UIIS can verify that a user has access to the user profile based on one or more access parameters associated with the user profile. The UIIS can automatically send a notification to one or more users as indicated by the user profile and can update the one or more users throughout a treatment process associated with the primary user.

  • Publication number: 20230290350
    Abstract: Dynamic configuration and reconfiguration of Voice Control Assistants (VCAs) for Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) devices is provided via a Graphical User Interface (GUI). GUI is presented to provide a list of one or more voice control assistants (VCAs) supported by a CPE device. A selection of a VCA is received from the list of the one or more VCAs presented by the GUI. A configuration interface for the VCA selected from the list of the one or more VCAs from the list of the one or more VCAs is presented on the GUI. Configuration input on the configuration interface of the GUI is received to generate configuration data for the VCA selected from the list of the one or more VCAs. The configuration data is provided to the CPE for implementing the VCA selected from the list of the one or more VCAs according to the configuration data.

  • Publication number: 20230199488
    Abstract: Providing an automatic access configuration (AAC) that is customizable allows for automatic authorization of a client device to receive one or more access parameters via a requestor access point connection so as to access a network associated with an access point device each time the client device transitions within proximity of the network or each time an update is made to the network. The (AAC) can include one or more access parameters that identify client devices, users, or both that are permitted to access a network without requiring any manual input by a user. The (AAC) can be customizable so as to be updated according to the changing requirements of the network. Rather than requiring a user to provide input, the (AAC) can be accessed by the access point device to determine whether a specific client device should be authorized and provided access to a network automatically.

  • Publication number: 20230016118
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for an AV device for use with a video player, one or more speakers, and encoded AV data. The encoded AV data includes multiplexed encoded video data and encoded audio data. The AV device is connected to the speakers via wireless channels. The AV device is able to determine channel delays associated with each wireless channel; synchronize program clocks of the video player and speakers; determine and modify buffer levels of each speaker; demultiplex the encoded AV data to obtain encode video data and encoded audio data; and provide prefetched portions of encoded audio data based on buffer levels.
