Publication number: 20220269661Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, computer-implemented methods, and tangible computer-readable media for representing media assets. The method includes receiving an original media asset and derivative versions of the original media asset and associated descriptors, determining a lineage to each derivative version that traces to the original media asset, generating a version history tree of the original media asset representing the lineage to each derivative version and associated descriptors from the original media asset, and presenting at least part of the version history tree to a user. In one aspect, the method further includes receiving a modification to one associated descriptor and updating associated descriptors for related derivative versions with the received modification. The original media asset and the derivative versions of the original media asset can share a common identifying mark.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2022Publication date: August 25, 2022Applicant: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Andrea Basso, Paul Gausman, David Crawford Gibbon

Publication number: 20210294833Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer readable-media for rich media annotation, the method comprising receiving a first recorded media content, receiving at least one audio annotation about the first recorded media, extracting metadata from the at least one of audio annotation, and associating all or part of the metadata with the first recorded media content. Additional data elements may also be associated with the first recorded media content. Where the audio annotation is a telephone conversation, the recorded media content may be captured via the telephone. The recorded media content, audio annotations, and/or metadata may be stored in a central repository which may be modifiable. Speech characteristics such as prosody may be analyzed to extract additional metadata. In one aspect, a specially trained grammar identifies and recognizes metadata.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 8, 2021Publication date: September 23, 2021Applicant: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Paul Gausman, David Crawford Gibbon

Patent number: 10833941Abstract: Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for controlling network traffic using acceleration policies. According to various embodiments of the concepts and technologies disclosed herein, an acceleration application can be executed by a device for analyzing data requests, determining if the data communications requested by way of the request can be delayed, accelerated, or otherwise modified (“shifted”) based upon policies and/or network operating conditions. In some embodiments, the acceleration application can be configured to access acceleration policies that can define how certain traffic is to be shifted. The acceleration application also can be configured to obtain and analyze network data to determine network operating conditions and determine, based upon the determined conditions, if traffic is to be shifted based upon the network operating conditions.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2018Date of Patent: November 10, 2020Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Mostafa Tofighbakhsh, Cagatay Buyukkoc, Paul Gausman, Shyam Parekh

Patent number: 10565177Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, determining a differentiating information item, and modifying a standardized digital index based on the differentiating information item to obtain an entity. The standardized digital index includes a number of data fields that accommodate a number of differentiating information items according to a standardized taxonomic structure. The number of data fields includes a topic label, a resource and a manifest listing that identifies the resource. The entity is stored in an entity repository, wherein the entity is accessible to support a digital transaction within a network service provider ecosystem comprising a plurality of differentiated network services, and wherein the entity supports the digital transaction as one of a user, a consumer, a producer, content, capabilities and any combination thereof. Other embodiments are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2016Date of Patent: February 18, 2020Assignee: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventor: Paul Gausman

Patent number: 10361966Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, identifying a topic within a digital service ecosystem including several differentiated services, wherein transactions are based on the topic. Resources are determined within the digital domain, wherein the resources are associated with the topic. A manifest listing that lists the resources is generated. The manifest listing is associated with a digital entity capsule according to a standard taxonomic structure. The capsule includes a unique label, the manifest listing and identification of a transaction handler. The transaction handler accepts and interprets a request to access a resource, and facilitates a transaction based on the resources for a service of the group of differentiated services. Other embodiments are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2016Date of Patent: July 23, 2019Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventor: Paul Gausman
