Patent number: 8761055Abstract: A system for delayed message delivery can include an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network that is in communication with at least one of a first user equipment and a second user equipment, and a message application server. The message application server can be configured to receive a message sent from the first user equipment, store the message temporarily in accordance with a time parameter, and send the message to a gateway when the time parameter is satisfied. The gateway can be configured to receive a message formatted in accordance with a first protocol used by the IMS network and convert the message into a format in accordance with a second protocol used by a message center. The message center can be configured to receive the message formatted in accordance with the second protocol and forward the message to the second user equipment. Other systems for delayed message delivery and corresponding methods are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: March 21, 2008Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: AT&T Mobility II LLCInventors: Scott Swanburg, Andre Okada, Paul Hanson, Chris Young, Adrianne Luu

Publication number: 20130335193Abstract: An electronic lock device may grant a wireless-communication device permission to join a secure wireless connection with the electronic lock via a local wireless-communication network. If the wireless-communication device includes an electronic lock management application, the electronic lock device may switch the state of the lock mechanism to the unlocked state in response to joining the secure wireless connection with the first wireless-communication device and receiving a valid security code from the electronic lock management application. If the first wireless-communication device does not include the electronic lock management application, the electronic lock device may automatically switch the state of the lock mechanism to the unlocked state in response to joining the secure wireless connection with the first wireless-communication device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2012Publication date: December 19, 2013Applicant: 1556053 ALBERTA LTD.Inventors: Paul Hanson, Geoffrey Kratz, Curtis Bennett
