Publication number: 20210400741Abstract: A method includes sending a message from a media device to a mobile device, the message including set-up information related to a communication session. The method includes facilitating establishment of a wireless peer-to-peer communication session with the mobile device in response to a selection of a selectable link at the mobile device. The selectable link is based on the set-up information. The method includes exchanging data with the mobile device via the wireless peer-to-peer communication session. The method also includes sending, from the media device to a display device coupled to the media device, a first display based on the data. The mobile device sends a second display based on the data to a mobile device display of the mobile device, where the first display is different than the second display.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 31, 2021Publication date: December 23, 2021Applicant: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventor: Edward G.

Patent number: 10750332Abstract: A network-based service is utilized to facilitate twinning of two or more communication devices associated with a subscriber account. Incoming communication is intercepted by a communication device and forwarded to a network server, which in turn transmits the incoming communication to the multiple twinned devices. In addition, identifier data associated with outgoing communication is replaced with a primary identifier (e.g., customer telephone number (CTN)) of a user's primary device or a common identifier (e.g., a mobile one number (MON)) assigned to devices associated with the user's subscriber account. Communication devices can be temporarily twinned for a defined time period, during which a common bill can be generated for the twinned devices.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2019Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Assignees: AT&T Mobility II LLC, AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Edward G.
