Publication number: 20230319041Abstract: An application client on a user device receives an internal request from within the application client. The internal request is associated with edge application device(s) hosted by a computing platform. In response to the internal request, the application client obtains an authorization token from the computing platform and initiates an edge discovery request to the computing platform using the authorization token. In response to the edge discovery request, the application client receives connection information of a particular edge application device among the edge application device(s) that is identified for the application client by the computing platform. The application client establishes a connection between the application client and the particular edge application device using the connection information of the particular edge application device.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2022Publication date: October 5, 2023Inventors: Umesh Kumar Gupta, Bjorn Hjelm, Jyotsna Kachroo, Raghuram Parvataneni, Ramanathan Subramaniam, Ning Zhang

Patent number: 11595485Abstract: A system described herein may provide a technique for the dynamic selection of edge computing devices, such as Multi-Access/Mobile Edge Computing devices (“MECs”), to provide services to User Equipment (“UEs”) based on factors such as MEC load, services and/or applications available or supported by particular MECs, UE location, service requirements, and/or other factors. One or more devices that are external to a network with which MECs are provided may be able to request services from a suitable MEC and/or identify a suitable MEC to provide such services. In this manner, control over the selection of particular MECs may be provided to devices or systems that are external to the network, thus providing an enhanced level of granular control and dynamism to such external devices or systems with respect to MEC selection.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2021Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Ramanathan Subramaniam, Sandarsh Aramballi Devappa, Sandipkumar V.

Patent number: 11283876Abstract: A first device may receive, from a first client device, a request for information from a second client device, wherein the second client device is connected to a second device that is geographically separated from the first device, and the first device is hosted in a first cloud computing environment and the second device is hosted in a second cloud computing environment. A first outbound routing agent associated with the first device may route the request to a second outbound routing agent associated with the second device, wherein the second outbound routing agent routes the request to the second client device to cause the second client device to generate a response. A first inbound routing agent associated with the first device may receive the response from a second inbound routing agent associated with the second device, and may provide the response to the first client device.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2020Date of Patent: March 22, 2022Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Yagiz Onat Yazir, Wujun Qie, Ramanathan Subramaniam, John F.

Patent number: 9078289Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems and methods to allow a multimedia device to operate in multiple modes of configuration simultaneously. The disclosed multimedia system includes a first communications circuitry having an access point connected to an external network and a number of devices. The first communications circuitry can receive and distribute media content over a wireless network, the wireless circuitry facilitating multi-modal simultaneous configuration of the multimedia device. The multi-modal simultaneous configuration includes a first mode and a second mode. The first mode facilitates exchange of data between the multimedia device and the other devices through the access point such as a wireless access point. The second mode facilitates direct exchange of data between the multimedia device and other devices in the wireless network without utilization of the access point. The multimedia device can change its mode of configuration based on a predefined trigger.Type: GrantFiled: February 29, 2012Date of Patent: July 7, 2015Assignee: SMSC HOLDINGS S.A.R.L.Inventors: Ramanathan Subramaniam, Hooman Kashef Hamadani

Patent number: 8683007Abstract: The transfer of media transmitted from a media provider from a first rendering device to a second includes establishing a network connection between the media provider and the second rendering device based on a network location and session context information. A desired transmission duplication of the media is determined such that the duplication will prevent substantial interruption of the rendering of the media as experienced by a user listening to both of the rendering devices, and that desired transmission duplication is sent to both the first rendering device and the second rendering device. The transmission is continued from the media provider to the second rendering device.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2011Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: SMSC Holdings S.A.R.L.Inventors: Hooman Kashef, Gene Sheridan, Ramanathan Subramaniam

Publication number: 20110289229Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the configuration of wireless networks and the configuration of electronic devices to connect to wireless networks, especially when those electronic devices have limited user interfaces and/or no display screen. The present invention makes use of devices already connected to a wireless network, previously connected to a wireless network, or capable of acting as an interface to discover the connection settings required to connect to the wireless network. The present invention further uses a shared communication medium between that connected device and an unconnected device in order to share the connection settings needed to connect the unconnected device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2011Publication date: November 24, 2011Inventor: Ramanathan Subramaniam
