Patent number: 9392110Abstract: Providing contact information via a directory service comprises a request being received from an originator to obtain at least a portion of contact information associated with a target. A first policy associated with the originator is identified, and a second policy that is associated with the target is identified. Based on at least one of the policies, it is determined whether a portion of the contact information associated with the target is authorized to be presented to the originator. If authorized, the portion of the contact information is presented to the originator. Upon receiving a request from the originator to establish communication with the target, it is determined whether a portion of contact information associated with the originator is authorized to presented to the target based on at least one of the policies. If authorized, the portion of the contact information associated with the originator is presented to the target.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2009Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: MOTOROLA SOLUTIONS, INC.Inventors: Trent J. Miller, Michelle M. Antonelli, John C. Kay

Patent number: 8943182Abstract: A method and system for transferring an ongoing communication session from one application server (AS) to another is described. Multiple ASs are monitored and serviced by a Transfer Management Module (TMM). Each of the ASs serves a different network and each network includes various end devices. During an ongoing communication session, whether the session is to continue using the current AS is determined based on a set of rules. If the session is to be transferred, an alternative AS that provides the same application as the current AS is selected using a set of conditions. Upon selection of the alternative AS, the current AS transfers the control and/or media state of the ongoing session for one to all users through the TMM to the selected AS, and the session is continued.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2008Date of Patent: January 27, 2015Assignee: Motorola Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Hemang F. Patel, John C. Kay, Matthew C. Keller, James A. Marocchi, Trent J. Miller, Marianne J. Stanke

Patent number: 8862173Abstract: A media selection and insertion control device implements a method for selecting media for delivery to a plurality of users at an incident. The media selection and insertion control device: receives a plurality of media inputs from multiple media sources; receives capabilities of devices of users at an incident; receives resource capabilities of a set of networks to which the users are communicatively coupled; receives a set of incident-based rules and applies these rules to the plurality of media inputs to select media inputs to deliver to the users; and determines a mode of delivering the selected media inputs to the users based at least on the capabilities of the users' devices and on the resource capabilities of the set of networks to which the users are communicatively coupled.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2009Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: Motorola Solutions, Inc.Inventors: James A. Marocchi, John E. Emrich, John C. Kay, Daniel J. Naylor, Hemang F. Patel, Marianne J. Stanke

Patent number: 8195215Abstract: A method and system is implemented to form a communication group comprising a plurality of entities. The method includes receiving a resource manager state generated for an event and extracting a plurality of parameters that indicate resource availability based on the resource manager state. The method further includes applying a set of rules to the resource state and to the plurality of parameters to select resources to form a communication group comprising a plurality of entities to distribute content related to the event.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2008Date of Patent: June 5, 2012Assignee: Motorola Solutions, Inc.Inventors: James A. Marocchi, John C. Kay, Daniel J. Naylor, Hemang F. Patel, Marianne J. Stanke, Deborah J. Monks, Rod N. Averbuch

Patent number: 7945255Abstract: A communication system, upon receiving an instruction to transfer deferrable data, determines whether an air interface is congested and, when the air interface is congested, defers a transfer of the deferrable data or transfers the deferrable, lower priority data as higher priority data. When, during a transfer of deferrable data, the system determines that the air interface is congested, the system may terminate the call and save a state of a partially completed deferred data transfer. Subsequent to the termination of the call, the system establishes another data connection over the air interface and transfers any remaining, not yet transferred deferrable data. In order to discourage subscribers from transferring higher priority data as lower priority data, the system may further restrict a transfer of lower priority data to designated time periods while allowing a transfer of higher priority data during the designated time periods and other time periods.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2008Date of Patent: May 17, 2011Assignee: Motorola Mobility, Inc.Inventors: John M. Harris, Jay Jayapalan, John C. Kay, Sean S. Kelley

Publication number: 20090291704Abstract: Users affiliated with a first narrowband talk group or participating in a narrowband talk group communication are able to establish a parallel communication group with the same users of the first talk group using alternate communication devices to enable transmission of multimedia over the disparate communication networks. One or more databases store and correlate information regarding the users of the narrowband talk group, as well as information regarding the user's communication devices and access technologies employed by the communication devices to determine the possible broadband groups available and an acceptable access technology to transmit the multimedia to the broadband group/data group users. The disparate network group manager informs the users of the narrowband talk group of the presence or availability of the parallel broadband group and establishes the parallel broadband group session when requested to do so by a user of the narrowband talk group.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 21, 2008Publication date: November 26, 2009Applicant: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Michael F.

Patent number: 7047017Abstract: After a base station (101) receives a communication initiation request from a remote unit (113), the base station determines (101) those base stations (101–103) that are capable of supporting communication with the remote unit (113). The eligible base stations (Active Set) are instructed to “listen” for communication from the remote unit (113), and the remote unit (113) is provided the Active Set. Once the remote unit (113) receives the Active Set of base stations, the remote unit then determines the base station (103) having the best radio environment characteristics, and begins communication with that base station (103).Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2002Date of Patent: May 16, 2006Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Daniel J.
