Patent number: 9961576Abstract: Systems and methods for determining the health score of a Wi-Fi radio are described. Data associated with the Wi-Fi radio and/or an access point encapsulating the Wi-Fi radio may be received. Various parameters related to the Wi-Fi radio and/or an access point encapsulating the Wi-Fi radio may be determined. Weights may be assigned to the parameters, and the health score may be calculated using the weighted parameters. Default values may be assigned to the parameters if the initial determination of the parameter is below a minimal value. Configuration parameters related to the Wi-Fi radio, the access point, or neighboring access points may be transmitted based on the calculated health score.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2015Date of Patent: May 1, 2018Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventors: Colleen Szymanik, Alexander Roscoe, Darrell DeRosia, Bradley Mayer

Publication number: 20170287087Abstract: A system and method for provisioning Internet access services to guests of a facility (e.g., one or more hotel chains). Equipment and devices for access service are installed throughout the facility. Each device that supports the Internet access services has a unique identifier. Zones representing various public and private areas within each facility are defined and one or more devices are associated with each zone. Service offerings for wired and wireless connections are defined and associated with one or more zones. Service offerings are also paired with pricing plans that provide various payment options and amounts. A web-based administration application allows an administrator to define and manage service offerings associated with the zones. The application also allows the administrator to define and manage the pricing plans. The ability to customize offerings in each facility allows development of consistent offerings, regardless of the size or layout of the facility.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2017Publication date: October 5, 2017Inventors: John Flack, Jonathan Gaines, Darrell DeRosia, Robert Stroud, William H.

Patent number: 8893226Abstract: An improved system and method for providing Internet access services to guests of a hotel chain. A web services (WS) framework is used for communications between a central authentication server (CAS) and property management system (PMS) of a hotel within a chain. Authentication of a user to a high speed Internet network is accomplished using the WS framework to facilitate communication between the CAS and PMS. A gateway device for authentication is bypassed and transactions are posted by implementing a WS interface between a CAS and PMS at each hotel. Additional transactions may be incorporated within the WS interface thereby increasing the system and method's ability to deliver significant improvements in customer service to the hotel guest. Reduced dependence upon a gateway device to facilitate communications allows a hotel to implement a high speed Internet access program with a degree of independence from one particular vendor.Type: GrantFiled: August 14, 2012Date of Patent: November 18, 2014Assignee: HLT Domestic IP LLCInventors: Darrell DeRosia, Robert Stroud
