Patent number: 8442510Abstract: Devices, systems and methods are disclosed which relate to implementing a point-of-presence system on a mobile service network. Such a point-of-presence system includes a mobile device communications network; a mobile device; a point-of-presence logic installed on a mobile device; and an application server in communication with the point-of-presence logic via the communications network. Communications between the point-of-presence logic and the network and application server include network data, configuration, and/or installation of connection and device management applications. This point-of-presence system constitutes a mechanism for the service provider to best optimize network resources, even at the device level, while providing optimum network service to mobile users—even for mobile devices that have not been pre-configured for the mobile service network.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2009Date of Patent: May 14, 2013Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Mostafa Tofighbakhsh, David R.

Publication number: 20130051251Abstract: In one or more embodiments, a mobile device can determine its speed and can utilize a wireless network based on its determined speed. In one example, the mobile device can be within a communications range of a wireless access point that implements a wireless local area network and can utilize a mobile telephone network for data communications rather than the wireless local area network when the mobile device is traveling at or above a certain speed. In another example, the mobile device can receive a signal from the wireless access point and, based on the signal and the speed of the mobile device, the mobile device can utilize the wireless access point at or above the certain speed. For instance, the signal can include a beacon indicating that the wireless access point can be utilized for data communications when the mobile device is traveling at or above a certain speed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2011Publication date: February 28, 2013Applicant: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Feng Wang, Mostafa Tofighbakhsh, David R.

Publication number: 20130029606Abstract: A particular method includes identifying, at a wireless access point, a client device in communication with the wireless access point. The client device is identified based on a signal quality indicator associated with the client device. The wireless access point is operable to communicate with the client device by transmitting a signal over a channel within at least one of a plurality of frequency bands. The method further includes selecting a set of candidate frequency bands from the plurality of frequency bands, where the set of candidate frequency bands is associated with the client device. Each candidate frequency band in the set of candidate frequency bands supports a power level of the signal that satisfies a signal quality threshold associated with the client device.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 29, 2011Publication date: January 31, 2013Applicant: AT&T Intellectual Property.

Publication number: 20120264407Abstract: A central host performs an automated method of updating multiple remote devices. In one embodiment, the host recognizes a predetermined download time and, in advance of the download time, transmits a calendar update to multiple remote devices. The calendar update includes the download time, and the remote devices may utilize the download time to set calendar reminders for entering an active state. Within a short time after reaching the download time, the host pushes download data to the remote devices by broadcasting the download data. In one aspect, the host may receive message acknowledgements from remote devices in response to a first calendar update, and the host may automatically transmit additional calendar updates to any remote devices that did not receive the first calendar update. Additional embodiments involve related methods and the terminal devices that receive the updates.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2012Publication date: October 18, 2012Applicant: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Milap V. Majmundar, David R. Wolter

Patent number: 8230609Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention comprise devices, systems, and components for use with a survey pole positioning system. For example, embodiments of the invention provide a survey pole positioning system that efficiently, easily, and safely allows a surveyor to position a survey pole, and thus position a surveying device on a surface where a surveyor cannot directly stand. In one embodiment, a hinged member couples a survey pole to a positioning rod such that the positioning rod can rotate with respect to the survey pole. A surveyor can then use the positioning rod to position the survey pole on a surface where the surveyor cannot directly stand.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2010Date of Patent: July 31, 2012Assignee: Cook-Sanders Associates, Inc.Inventors: Brent L. Sanders, David R. Wolters, David B. Peterson

Publication number: 20110145842Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for distributing requests from an application are provided. According to one aspect, a computer-implemented method for routing requests from an application includes receiving an application programming interface (API) request from an application running on a device. An optimal route for forwarding the API request is determined based on information associated with the API request, and upon determining the optimal route, the API request is forwarded based on the optimal route.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 15, 2009Publication date: June 16, 2011Inventors: Mostafa Tofighbakhsh, Paul Gausman, David R.
