Publication number: 20220130154Abstract: A mesh of existing infrastructures is usable to identify user identities and communications devices with physical objects (e.g., transportation vehicles, apparel, etc.). A system can receive image data representative of images of physical objects captured (e.g., by a camera) at locations. The system can also receive signal data representative of signals from communications devices. Based on time data and location data associated with the image data and the signal data, the system can, after multiple iterations, determine whether one of the physical objects is correlated with one of the communications devices. In response to a correlation, the system can store in a record data (e.g., a container, database, etc.) data elements representative of the physical object and a second data element associated with the communications device.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2022Publication date: April 28, 2022Inventors: Loc Yu, Chris Hagerty, Carlos Gutierrez Gomez

Patent number: 10722421Abstract: Methods, systems, and products estimate distances to aid a visually impaired user of a mobile device. As the user carries the mobile device, a camera in the mobile device captures images of a walking cane. The images of the walking cane are analyzed to infer a distance between a tip of the walking cane and the mobile device. The distance may then be used by navigational tools to aid the visually impaired user.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2018Date of Patent: July 28, 2020Assignee: AT&T MOBILITY II LLCInventor: Loc Yu

Patent number: 9853960Abstract: Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for a peer applications trust center. A trust client can execute on a client computer and a trust service can execute on a server computer to provide the peer applications trust center. The trust client or trust server can register applications. During registration, the trust server or the trust client can generate a public key or other identifier for identifying the registered application. If another application requests access to the registered application, the trust server or the trust client can determine if the request specifies a registered application by name. If the requestor is granted access to the application, the requestor can be issued a token. Tokens can be revoked, updated, replaced, or renewed for various purposes.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2015Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventor: Loc An Yu

Patent number: 9515972Abstract: Messages directed to a mobile device are selectively routed to message servers based upon the capabilities of a network to which the mobile device is connected. According to an illustrative method disclosed herein, a network connectivity server receives a network identifier from the mobile device, the network connectivity server receives a request for routing instructions for the message, and the network connectivity server determines if the network identified by the network identifier is capable of delivering the message. The network connectivity server then instructs the message server to route the message according to a standard delivery method for a message type of the message or to a message conversion server computer based upon the determination. The message conversion server computer converts the message into a new message type that the network is capable of delivering to the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2014Date of Patent: December 6, 2016Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Jun Shen, Loc Yu
