Patent number: 9432219Abstract: A device may perform audio signal collision detection configured to receive first audio information from a first device and receive second audio information from a second device over a communications network. The device may be further configured to identify a collision of the first audio information and the second audio information, and to address the collision by adjusting at least one of an audio attenuation level and a communications latency of the second audio information responsive to identification of the collision, and store the operational parameters to an adjustment profile system.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2012Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Paul V. Hubner, Joseph A. Hilburn, Scott J. Hoover

Patent number: 9148487Abstract: An approach for providing cloud-based profile access is described. A profile platform receives, at a cloud-based service platform, a request for a device profile from a mobile device, wherein the device profile specifies information relating to configuration of a graphical user interface and one or more applications associated with the mobile device, determines context data for the mobile device, selects one of a plurality of device profiles based on the determined context data, and generates a control message specifying the selected device profile for configuring the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2011Date of Patent: September 29, 2015Assignee: Verizon Patent and LicensingInventors: Joseph A. Hilburn, Scott J. Hoover, Paul V. Hubner

Patent number: 9007427Abstract: An approach for providing virtual conferencing is described. A virtual conference platform receives, in real-time, images representing users of the respective mobile devices, selects a virtual environment among a plurality of virtual environments, and integrates the images into the selected virtual environment.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2011Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Scott J. Hoover, Joseph A. Hilburn, Paul V. Hubner

Patent number: 8825008Abstract: An approach is presented for providing the authorized transfer of a mobile device. A platform receives a request to modify ownership status information for a mobile device, and generates in response to the request, a sale identifier based on the ownership status, wherein the sale identifier provides verification that the mobile device can be subject to a transfer of ownership, and specifies device information associated with the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2011Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Scott J. Hoover, Joseph A. Hilburn, Paul V. Hubner

Patent number: 8816845Abstract: An approach for providing notifications to caregivers based on the detected presence of a child in a car seat is described. Physical presence of an object within a car seat is detected. A determination is made that a proximity threshold between a mobile device and the car seat is satisfied based on the presence information, range information associated with the mobile device, or a combination thereof. A notification message is generated in response to the detected physical presence of the object to indicate the presence of the object in the car seat based on the determination. Initiation of the transmission of the notification message to a mobile device within a predetermined proximity of the car seat is performed.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2011Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Scott J. Hoover, Joseph Hilburn, Paul Hubner

Patent number: 8554142Abstract: A network device receives, from a first mobile communication device via a cellular network, a message to attempt initiate the set-up of data transfer via a local wireless connectivity method. The network device determines a proximity within the cellular network of the first mobile communication device with respect to a second mobile communication device that is the target of the data transfer, and determines a geographic proximity of the first mobile communication device with respect to the second mobile communication device. The network device remotely enables, from the network device, the first mobile communication device and the second mobile communication device to transfer data between them via the local wireless connectivity method instead of via the cellular network based on the determined network proximity or geographic proximity.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2011Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Scott J. Hoover, Paul V. Hubner, Gary L. Campbell, Joseph A. Hilburn
