  • Patent number: 11843958
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for enhancing cellular network coverage. In order to enhance network coverage, churn data is correlated with the measured coverage data for the multiple locations in the cellular network. Based on the correlation, a network readiness status in the multiple locations is determined. Network resources are then deployed to any of the multiple locations determined to have a network readiness status of not ready.

  • Patent number: 11678016
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for real-time enablement of over-the-top media service applications. An embodiment operates by receiving a device identifier from a customer device including a disabled third-party over-the-top (OTT) application, determining a verification status of the customer device based on the device identifier, determining a customer identifier associated with the customer device, and determining an entitlement status based on the customer identifier. The embodiment further operates by assigning a vendor-issued identifier to the customer identifier, generating a third-party token based on the verification status and the entitlement status, and sending the third-party token to the customer device and a third-party service associated with the disabled third-party OTT application.

  • Patent number: 11470490
    Abstract: The disclosed system defines a hierarchical subdivision of a geographic area including a unit, a cluster, a region, and an area, where the area includes multiple regions, the region includes multiple clusters, and the cluster includes multiple units. The system obtains KPIs associated with a unit and obtains a network score for the cluster by combining each KPI associated with each unit in the cluster. The system obtains a competitor network score associated with a competing network. Based on the competitor network score and the network score, the system can determine whether the cluster, the region, and the area are performing satisfactorily.

  • Patent number: 11297370
    Abstract: A system and method for controlling media devices are provided. A device controller includes a device control module. The device control module identifies media devices in a local network, such as a LAN. The device control module selects a media device from the identified media devices. Next the device control module selects content to be displayed on the selected media device. The device control module uses the local network to cause the selected media device to display the selected content.
