  • Patent number: 11151621
    Abstract: A framework is provided for blockchain-based customer dispute management of wholesale telecommunications claims. A network device receives a telecommunication claim to dispute an invoice from a provider network. The provider network and a partner network that includes the network device are related through a wholesale telecommunications agreement. The network device validates the telecommunication claim based on information in a distributed ledger of the distributed consensus network. The distributed ledger includes transaction information generated by the provider network for the partner network under the wholesale telecommunications agreement. The network device adjudicates the telecommunication claim based on information in the distributed ledger and instructions in a contract and updates the distributed ledger with the adjudicated claim.

  • Patent number: 10045234
    Abstract: A tester device may establish a connection to customer devices using protocols, such as a Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) protocol or an Open Mobile Alliance device management (OMA DM) protocol. The tester device may receive information related to wireless communications or operations of the customer devices and the information may be determined by the customer devices. The tester device may perform an analysis of the information. The tester device may provide instructions to the customer devices to cause the customer devices to use a channel to communicate. The tester device may perform a throughput test of the customer devices. The tester device may receive additional information based on performing the throughput test. The tester device may perform a comparison of the information and the additional information. The tester device may provide other instructions to the customer devices to cause the customer devices to use the channel.

  • Patent number: 9860671
    Abstract: An approach for providing feature configuration management is described. A service controller platform, monitors at least one environmental parameter of a mobile device; determines an event according to a threshold, the event being based on at least a change in the at least one environmental parameter; determines a feature configuration setting associated with at least one of the threshold or the event according to a device profile, wherein the device profile specifies a feature configuration setting that includes at least one of locking the mobile device, limiting access to at least one predetermined application, or disabling the mobile device; and causes the mobile device to change a feature configuration according to the feature configuration setting.

  • Patent number: 9467825
    Abstract: A computer device may include logic configured to obtain vehicle telematics data relating to a vehicle operated by a user and to obtain device telematics data relating to a user device operated by the user. The logic may be further configured to determine that a distance between the user device and the vehicle is greater than a first distance threshold, based on the obtained vehicle telematics data and based on the obtained device telematics data; and send an alert to a mobile communication device associated with the user, in response to determining that the distance between the user device and the vehicle is greater than the first distance threshold.
