Patent number: 9408048Abstract: A user device includes a controlling application for a child's wearable device. A network device receives configuration settings for an event widget that activates the wearable device to send a prepared text message to a trusted contact and to receive a pre-recorded audio message from the trusted contact. The network device downloads the event widget to the wearable device and receives a selection signal that the event widget was selected. The network device authorizes the wearable device to send the prepared text message to the trusted contact when the widget selection time or current location for the wearable device matches the stored configuration settings. The network device receives, from the trusted contact, an acknowledgement of the prepared text message and sends the pre-recorded audio message to the wearable device. The network device facilitates communications between the trusted contact and the controlling application to provide live video from the user device.Type: GrantFiled: April 30, 2015Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: VERIZON PATENT AND LICENSING INC.Inventors: Vijayanand K.

Patent number: 9312570Abstract: Systems and methods for a demo mode for a computing device are disclosed. In some implementations, a computing device receives a first input for entering a demo mode. The computing device prompts, in response to the first input, for a user input indicating whether the user wishes to place the computing device in the demo mode. The computing device receives the user input indicating that the user wishes to place the computing device in the demo mode. The computing device enters the demo mode responsive to the user input indicating that the user wishes to place the computing device in the demo mode. Entering the demo mode includes adjusting battery settings of the computing device.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2014Date of Patent: April 12, 2016Assignee: VERIZON PATENT AND LICENSING INC.Inventors: Amit Mahajan, Farook Kaleem, Dae-Sub Nam

Patent number: 8914791Abstract: When a user of the wireless terminal connects the wireless terminal to a computer, the wireless terminal detects the connection and determines whether the connection is the first time for connection to the computer. If the connection is the first time connection, the wireless terminal obtains information of wireless terminal software on the wireless terminal. Then, the wireless terminal causes the computer to access a server via a network and to download to the computer a software upgrading assistance (SUA) program from the server. The SUA program assists update of the wireless terminal software.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2010Date of Patent: December 16, 2014Assignee: Cellco PartnershipInventors: Doreen Salzano, Shyam T.
