Publication number: 20210328997Abstract: Current discovery mechanisms lack capabilities, such as capabilities related to permissions associated with a given registrant for example. In an example embodiment, a registrant of a service layer can communicate with a network node that hosts the service layer. The network node may receive a discovery request for a resource from the registrant. The discovery may request include various context. For example, the context of the discovery request may be indicative of an operation that the registrant intends to perform on the resource, a role that the registrant intends to assume if the registrant accesses the resource, a location in which the registrant intends to access the resource, or a subscription plan that the registrant intends to use if the registrant accesses the resource. Based on the context of the discovery request, the network node may determine whether one or more resources at the service layer satisfy the discovery request.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 1, 2021Publication date: October 21, 2021Inventors: Dale N. Seed, William Robert Flynn, IV, Quang Ly, Donald A. Fleck, Richard P. Gorman, Nicholas J. Podias, Michael F. Starsinic, Hongkun Li, Zhuo Chen

Patent number: 10708376Abstract: Presented herein is a messaging system architecture that is referred to as an “Open Message Bus” (OMB). The OMB is a messaging system infrastructure that facilitates connectivity and communication between services. The OMB backbone may offer infrastructure services that can be leveraged by all services that connect to the OMB.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2016Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: Convida Wireless, LLCInventors: Dale N.

Patent number: 10587701Abstract: The present application is directed to a method for registering with a service layer. The method includes the step of forming a registration group of one or more applications. The method also includes a step of receiving a request to join the registration group, from the one or more applications based upon a review of criteria. The method also includes a step of receiving a registration preference from the one or more applications. Further, the method includes the step of performing service discovery on a network based upon the registration preference of the one or more applications in the registration group. The present application is also directed to a device for registering with a service layer. The present application is further directed to a computer-implemented method for moving from a current service layer to a new service layer.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2016Date of Patent: March 10, 2020Assignee: Convida Wireless, LLCInventors: Michael F. Starsinic, Dale N. Seed, Nicholas Podias, Quang Ly, Hongkun Li, Richard P. Gorman, Zhuo Chen, Donald A. Fleck, William Robert Flynn, IV

Publication number: 20170063931Abstract: An extensible policy-based service layer dynamic authorization framework can allow a service layer to determine whether or not to grant or deny a registrant access to a resource or service hosted by the service layer for which the registrant currently lacks the proper privileges to access. This method can also enable a service layer to dynamically update its statically configured authorization privileges (by leveraging its dynamic authorization results) such that future requests from the same registrant and to the same resource and service do not require dynamic authorization to be performed.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2016Publication date: March 2, 2017Inventors: Dale N. Seed, Vinod Kumar Choyi, William Robert Flynn, Quang Ly, Donald A. Fleck, Richard P. Gorman, Nicholas J. Podias, Michael F. Starsinic, Hongkun Li, Zhuo Chen, Yogendra C. Shah, Shamim Akbar Rahman
