Patent number: 11910265Abstract: Edge-converged telemetry is provided. A system, method, and computer readable storage device are provided for collecting telemetry data from a plurality of telemetry sources in an edge network, determining geolocations of the telemetry, tagging the telemetry with geolocation metadata corresponding to the determined geolocations, correlating telemetry based at least in part on the geolocation, converging the telemetry, and providing the edge-converged telemetry to a client decisioning system that is enabled to use the converged telemetry for making or influencing decisions made by the system. In an example aspect, the decisioning system is configured to make decisions for controlling a device, wherein the decisions are based at least in part on telemetry data.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2020Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Cox Communications, Inc.Inventors: Keith Alan Rothschild, Dipan Patel, Ron Lev, Steve Malenfant

Patent number: 11497340Abstract: A food cooking appliance which utilizes both steam and heat for rapidly cooking food products is disclosed. The food products are disposed within a food cooking housing and a steam generator is provided within a steam generator housing so as to generate steam which is fluidically conducted into the food cooking housing. In this manner, the food products are cooked as a result of the steam being conducted into upper regions of cooking chambers defined within the food cooking housing while the heat generated from the heated grills or platens impart heat to the lower regions of the cooking chambers thereby cooking the food in an accelerated manner which is extremely desirable by commercial fast-food establishments. The steam generator housing is wholly separate and apart from the food cooking housing but fluidically connected to the food cooking housing by a fluid conduit which may rigid or flexible.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2019Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: A.

Patent number: 11388108Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide a technical improvement to the problem of network congestion that exists when providing online services to clients. A system, method, and computer readable storage device use a resource assignment protocol to direct client requests for content and remote processing to a dynamic edge-compute instance placed in proximity to the client, thereby improving the Quality of Service QoS of network traffic. A policy server is implemented for serving specific clients with specific dynamically-placed services. Accordingly, traditional network traffic associated with communicating with a remote resource server and computational demand on the remote resource server are reduced, thereby making the network more efficient.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2020Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: Cox Communications, Inc.Inventors: Keith Alan Rothschild, Dipan Patel, Ron Lev, Steve Malenfant

Patent number: 11271807Abstract: Automated virtual premised server installation and services configuration are provided. Aspects provide a system, method, and computer readable storage device that enable aspects of a virtual premised server-on-demand (VPSoD) service to provide a technical improvement to premised server installation, support, and operation. The VPSoD service provides the capability of a consumer to subscribe to one or more premised server servers, and those servers and associated services are automatically installed on a remote virtual instance of a premised server and automatically configured with minimal user input. A secure communication tunnel is configured between the consumer's local network and the virtual premised server for enabling services installed on the virtual premised server to communicate on the local network and behave as if the virtual premised server is connect into the network.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2019Date of Patent: March 8, 2022Assignee: COX COMMUNICATIONS, INC.Inventors: Keith Alan Rothschild, Dipan Patel, Ron Lev, Steve Malenfant

Patent number: 11032164Abstract: A system, method, and computer readable storage device provide an edge resource marketplace that enables third parties to selectively deploy microservices on an edge network on-demand. For example, an edge computing resource provider can utilize the edge resource marketplace to expose available edge computing resources to third party services providers, and third party services providers can utilize the edge resource marketplace for discovering and determining one or more optimal available edge computing resources for on-demand deployment of a set of microservices as a virtual network function proximate to end users for reduced latency and improved application performance.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2019Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: COX COMMUNICATIONS, INC.Inventors: Keith Alan Rothschild, Dipan Patel, Ron Lev, Steve Malenfant

Patent number: 11025528Abstract: Optimization of network-performant-sensitive Internet data traffic for improved performance of network-performant-sensitive applications is provided. A system and method identify an optimal route for data from a client-network to a remote host-network and direct the data along the optimal route. In one implementation, a VNF is configured as a default gateway for the data and is deployed at a strategic location along the optimal route, thus forcing the data on the route. In another implementation, a VNF is deployed on a network and configured as a virtual router. A client network that is provisioned for optimized routing services communicates with the virtual router, wherein the virtual router advertises the optimized route to peers to route the targeted subset of traffic on the optimal route. In another implementation, the system is configured to emulate a router and advertise the optimized route to peers to route the data on the optimal route.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2019Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: COX COMMUNICATIONS, INC.Inventors: Keith Alan Rothschild, Dipan Patel, Ron Lev, Steve Malenfant
