Patent number: 9865155Abstract: Remote notifications are provided by a security system. When the security system detects a visitor, a first notification is sent to an authorized user. The first notification may include an image or video, thus allowing the user to recognize the visitor. If the user approves the visitor, the security system deactivates for a period of time. The visitor may thus enter a home or business for some purpose. However, if the visitor lingers beyond the period of time, the security system reactivates and sends a second notification.Type: GrantFiled: May 13, 2016Date of Patent: January 9, 2018Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Thomas Y. Cobb, Daniel George Jean, Jeffrey Feldstein

Patent number: 8902061Abstract: A system and method for remotely monitoring and controlling building security are provided. A controller is communicatively coupled to security devices of a building and can communicate an activity event detected by one of the security devices to a remote user device. The controller can then establish a communication session between the remote device and a security device via the controller, thereby allowing the user to communicate with any visitors. Video from a security device can be transmitted by the controller to the user device or an alternative user-device. Access instructions can be provided by the user, in response to which the controller can deactivate various building security measures. Security measures can be reactivated by the controller automatically or in response to a user command. Additionally, the controller can monitor visitor compliance with the deactivated security measures and activate alarms or notify security agencies if necessary.Type: GrantFiled: September 7, 2012Date of Patent: December 2, 2014Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Jeffrey Feldstein, Thomas Y.

Patent number: 8143508Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for providing lyrics with streaming music. A music stream is accessed that includes timing information for a song. Lyrics and other textual information such as song title, song artist, and album title are also accessed. A lyric file may be accessed that includes further timing information. The timing information is used to synchronize the song lyrics and music stream. A user may be permitted access to the synchronized lyrics and music stream by presentation on a display through a digital television set-top box.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2008Date of Patent: March 27, 2012Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Daniel George Jean, Mary C.

Publication number: 20100122289Abstract: A disclosed portable settings service for use in conjunction with a multimedia content distribution service includes enabling a user to define settings for aspects of a multimedia content delivery network (MCDN) client. The service may include storing the defined settings to a settings file. The service may further include enabling the user to designate any of a set of multiple MCDN clients and, in response, applying the settings in the settings file to the designated MCDN client. In some embodiments, the settings application operates in conjunction with a user interface that enables the user to modify the defined settings. The user interface enables the user to modify the defined settings while interacting with a first customer premises equipment (CPE). Enabling the user to designate any of a plurality of MCDN clients may include, in some embodiments, enabling the user to designate a second CPE that is different than the first CPE.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2008Publication date: May 13, 2010Applicant: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Daniel George Jean, Bryan Davis, Mary Catherine McCarthy

Patent number: 6253230Abstract: A method and system for building scaleable TCP/IP services such as a cluster web server out of a switch or switched network such as an ATM switch or ATM switched network. For example, a distributed large scale TCP router can be built using an ATM switch network. The scaled services can be presented as a single service to clients. The scaleable services can balance the load on the individual servers in the cluster. The clients can be directly or indirectly connected to the switch or switched network. One version includes two separate components: a Control Engine (CE); and a Forwarding Engine (FE). The Control Engine is in charge of assigning a connection to a server and forwarding information about the assigned server and connection to the Forwarding Engine. The Forwarding Engine applies the assignments received from the Control Engine to map a TCP connection onto a switched ATM connection. At the end, the Forwarding Engine communicates the connection termination event back to the Control Engine.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 1998Date of Patent: June 26, 2001Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Ghislaine Couland, Guerney Douglass Holloway Hunt, Eric Michel Levy-Abegnoli, Daniel Georges Jean-Marie Mauduit
