Patent number: 7593396Abstract: A system and method are provided for reviewing and updating a subscriber's telecommunications services using a graphical user interface via multiple data networks. A data message is received at an intelligent peripheral from the graphical user interface via at least one of the data networks. The data message indicates a subscriber's desired update to a selected service. The data message is converted into a protocol compatible with a service control point. The converted data message is identical to a data message that the intelligent peripheral would create if the subscriber had entered the desired update via an interactive voice response system. The converted data message is transmitted to the service control point, which updates the service in accordance with the subscriber's update. Thus, the service is updated substantially contemporaneously with the request. Moreover, the subscriber retains the ability to update and review service data via the interactive voice response.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2005Date of Patent: September 22, 2009Assignee: AT&T Labs, Inc.Inventors: Anil Kumar Bhandari, Xiaolian Bi, Jeffrey Lewis Brandt, Christine Mary Hartman, Alexander Lisheng Huang, Jeffrey Paul Johnson, James Thomas Miller, Stephen Mark Mueller, Jeffrey L.

Publication number: 20080228736Abstract: Access is provided to network connection data for a user terminal. A query based on a request from a communications device to access the network connection data is received over a first network. The network connection data corresponding to the request is retrieved from a database based on the query. The database is populated with the network connection data and interfaces with a second network over which network connections are established with the user terminal. The network connection data retrieved from the database is forwarded for display at the communications device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 25, 2008Publication date: September 18, 2008Applicants: AT&T Services, Inc., AT&T LABS, INC.Inventors: Jeffrey Lewis BRANDT, Bojana MAMUZIC, James Thomas MILLER, Stephen Mark MUELLER

Patent number: 7369651Abstract: Outgoing call log data associated with a call from a subscriber's terminal is provided by a system including a switch, which receives the call from the subscriber's terminal and launches a query in response to the call, and a service controller, which receives the query and forwards call data to an interface server in response to the query. The switch continues to process the telephone call after querying the service controller. The interface server obtains additional information from a directory database based on at least the received call data. An outgoing call log database receives and stores the call data and the additional information from the interface server as the outgoing call log data. A web server retrieves the outgoing call log data from the outgoing call log database, in response to a query from a web client, and displays the outgoing call log data at the web client.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2007Date of Patent: May 6, 2008Assignees: AT&T Labs, Inc., AT&T Services, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Lewis Brandt, Bojana Mamuzic, James Thomas Miller, Stephen Mark Mueller

Patent number: 6904137Abstract: A system and a method store, display and report outgoing call log data associated with telephone calls from a subscriber's telephone. The system includes a switch in one network that receives a telephone call from the subscriber's telephone and launches a query in response to an AIN trigger to a service control point. In response, the service control point forwards associated call data to an interface server in another network via a generic data interface. The interface server obtains additional information from a directory database and sends the call data and the additional information to an outgoing call log database, which stores the call data and the additional information as the outgoing call log data. A web server retrieves the outgoing call log data and displays it to the subscriber at a web client.Type: GrantFiled: July 31, 2001Date of Patent: June 7, 2005Assignees: SBC Technology Resources, Inc., SBC Services, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Lewis Brandt, Bojana Mamuzic, James Thomas Miller, Stephen Mark Mueller

Patent number: 6891940Abstract: A system and method are provided for reviewing and updating a subscriber's telecommunications services, including a Caller ID service, using a graphical user interface via multiple data networks. The method includes presenting service data to the subscriber via the data networks and transmitting a data message from the subscriber to an intelligent peripheral via at least one of the data networks. The data message indicates a subscriber's desired update to a selected telecommunications service. The method also includes converting the data message into a protocol compatible with an integrated service control point. The converted data message is identical to a data message that the intelligent peripheral would create if the subscriber had entered the desired update via an interactive voice response system.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2000Date of Patent: May 10, 2005Assignee: SBC Technology Resources, Inc.Inventors: Anil Kumar Bhandari, Xiaolian Bi, Jeffrey Lewis Brandt, Alexander Lisheng Huang, Jeffrey Paul Johnson, James Thomas Miller, Stephen Mark Mueller, Jeffrey L.
