Patent number: 10810644Abstract: A system for mitigating returns is disclosed. In particular, the system may analyze an order made by a user for an item. The system may apply one or more filters to the order to determine if the ordered item is compatible with the user's profile, devices, accounts, preferences, or a combination thereof. Based on the application of the filters, the system may determine if a conflict exists between the ordered item and the user's profile, devices, accounts, preferences. If a conflict is determined to exist, the system may notify the user and adjust the order to generate a new order for a different item that is compatible for the user so as to mitigate a return. An order may then be transmitted to a virtual assistant for approval, which may reject the order or approve the order for completion.Type: GrantFiled: November 18, 2015Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignees: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P., AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Fulvio Cenciarelli, Quinn Aguirre, John P.

Patent number: 10805654Abstract: Systems and methods for monitoring and updating user availability based upon presence and television viewing behavior are described herein. In one embodiment, a presence system is used to detect a user's presence to update the user's availability status. The availability status is then used to update a contact list, voicemail message, and/or busy message. In further embodiments, user preferences are used in combination with presence data to update the user's availability status. In still further embodiments, a user's television viewing behavior is used in combination with the presence data, user preferences, or both to update the user's availability status. Alternative embodiments provide systems and methods in accordance with the present invention for other interactive devices.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2018Date of Patent: October 13, 2020Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Jeffrey Mikan, Justin McNamara, Fulvio Cenciarelli, Anastasios Kefalas

Patent number: 10685028Abstract: Consistent contextual patterns may confirm ownership. Current usage of mobile and smart devices may be compared to historical usage. If a device is being used as historically observed, then ownership of the device may be confirmed. If, however, the current usage fails to coincide with historical usage, new ownership may be inferred.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2018Date of Patent: June 16, 2020Assignees: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P., AT&T MOBILITY II LLCInventors: John P.

Patent number: 10134290Abstract: A system for providing drone piggybacking on vehicles is disclosed. In particular, the system may enable drones or other unmanned mobile connected devices to piggyback onto various types of hosts, such as vehicles, in a symbiotic fashion. Through the symbiotic relationship created between the drones and hosts, the drones may utilize the hosts as a means for transport, such as while delivering a good to an intended destination, and the hosts may receive certain incentives in exchange for transporting the drones. Drones may be paired with hosts based on any number of factors, such as whether the host is traveling on a route that corresponds with reaching the intended destination, whether the host is capable of recharging the drone, and whether the drone has sufficient power to reach the intended destination. By enabling drones to piggyback with hosts, the required traveling range for a drone may be reduced.Type: GrantFiled: December 6, 2017Date of Patent: November 20, 2018Assignees: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P., AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Jeffrey Mikan, Fulvio Cenciarelli, John P.

Patent number: 9992644Abstract: Methods for appending additional device, location, and/or presence information to a mobile-originated (MO) short message are taught herein. One such method for appending additional device information includes receiving a MO short message at a message center. The MO short message includes a content request. The message center sends a query to a subscriber directory for device information corresponding to the device of the requesting subscriber. The subscriber directory searches for the device information and generates a response to be sent to the message center, the response including the device information. The subscriber directory sends the response to the message center, which appends the device information to the MO short message. The message center then sends the short message to the destination, for example, a content provider. Methods for appending location and/or presence information are also taught.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2017Date of Patent: June 5, 2018Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Justin McNamara, Fulvio Cenciarelli, Ed Lambert

Publication number: 20170195498Abstract: A mechanism is provided whereby a parent, or other second party, can monitor and/or control a child's or other first party's wireless device usage. An interface can allow the parent to set rules for the child's usage, and can specify that the parent should receive messages when a call is made to or from the child's wireless device. In addition to call information, the message may prompt the parent for approval of the call connection. Thus, a parent can decide whether a call that is incoming from or outgoing to a third party should be permitted.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2017Publication date: July 6, 2017Inventors: Jeffrey Clinton Mikan, John Ervin Lewis, Justin McNamara, Fulvio Cenciarelli, Anastasios L.
