Patent number: 11627392Abstract: A local network call handling device is configured to establish multiple concurrent call sessions between local network end devices and an external network. When a prioritized end device attempts to establish a call session, the call handling device may initially determine if a first call session identifier is available. If so, the call session can be established using that first identifier. If the first identifier is in use for a call session of another end device, the call handling device may either use a different call session identifier for the prioritized end device session or may drop a pre-existing call session to free an identifier for use in connection with the prioritized end device.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2022Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventors: Michael Connelly, Jeffrey Lewis, Bhagabati Maharana, Louis Rubin, Richard Vetter

Publication number: 20220377151Abstract: A user device may join an ongoing communication of another user device by sending a request to the other user device to join the ongoing communication. The other user device may provide an option for the user of the other device to accept the request. Alternatively, the other user device may automatically add the user device to the ongoing communication or decline to the add the user device to the ongoing communication.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2022Publication date: November 24, 2022Inventors: Michael Connelly, Sharma Kanchinadham, Bhagabati Prasad Maharana, Louis Rubin, Michael Cook, James Tobin, Jeffrey Lewis, Bavani Subramaniam

Patent number: 10986193Abstract: A profile-based system is employed to manage user identities and preferences, devices, content and/or other aspects of service delivery. The user profiles may be maintained in one or more servers or other elements located in an external network access via a customer premises equipment (CPE) gateway of a local network. The profiles can be used to map users to identities, devices, services, and other features that affect the manner in which a particular user communicates with (or through) the external network.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2019Date of Patent: April 20, 2021Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventors: Michael Connelly, Sharma Kanchinadham, Bhagabati Prasad Maharana, Louis Rubin, Michael Cook, James Tobin, Jeffrey Lewis, Bavani Subramaniam

Patent number: 9338527Abstract: One or more aspects of the disclosure relate to various functions and processes related to routing of calls originating from other service providers. For example, a method includes receiving a request to route a call or a call session, such as a session initiation request, from a second service provider and proceeding to route the requested call or session through a call routing facility of the first service provider to a requested destination of the call. Routing the call through the call routing facility may include determining a service provider type and/or an origination number type for the call, determining routing information for the call using the type information, and causing routing of the call to a destination of the call based on the routing information. Further aspects of the disclosure relate to various functions and processes related to accessing routing data and/or information from a routing database.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2014Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventors: Arvind Kaushal, Jon Boone, Sohel Khan, Louis Rubin, Brett Sherman, Jaime Jimenez
