Publication number: 20210294634Abstract: Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for service creation and management. A processor can detect an event relating to a service, and access a service creation database to identify a recipe associated with the service. The recipe can define a resource to be used to provide the service. The processor can access an inventory to determine if the resource is available, identify a service control to control the service, instruct an infrastructure control to allocate virtual machines to host components of the service, and issue instructions to the service control. The instructions can instruct the service control to load service functions to the virtual machines.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2021Publication date: September 23, 2021Applicant: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Walter Cooper Chastain, Frank Cariello, Reuben Klein, Paul Edward Smith, JR.

Publication number: 20200145466Abstract: Software Defined Networking (SDN) is used in IMS in order to provide a mechanism to forward (Internet Protocol) IP packets and provide a simplified solution to the complex signaling path of IMS according to directives from an SDN Controller. SDN is used in at least three particular scenarios. In the first scenario, communications are simplified using SDN directed signaling disaggregation. In the second scenario, SDN is used to direct media function chaining. In the third scenario, the system can be used as an SDN based media relay.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2020Publication date: May 7, 2020Applicant: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: Reuben Klein, Brian Dean Freeman, Larry B.

Patent number: 10594867Abstract: Network presence is used to assign a worker to a task. In today's networked environment, workers may be remotely located but still accomplish tasks. As long as workers have network access, the workers may be assigned tasks for completion. As tasks are completion, the network presences of the workers are determined, and the tasks may be assigned based on the network presences.Type: GrantFiled: February 22, 2019Date of Patent: March 17, 2020Assignee: AT&T INTELLCTUAL PROPERTY II, L.P.Inventors: Reuben Klein, Daniel Sujansky

Patent number: 10445757Abstract: Concepts and technologies are disclosed herein for providing, storing, redeeming, and managing promotions. A promotion service can be called to save, manage, or redeem promotions. The promotion service can be called to generate or provide promotions based upon contextual information. The promotion service also can be accessed to save promotions as well as to view or redeem saved promotions. In some implementations, the promotions can be stored in a promotion locker or other data storage device that is accessible to the promotion service. Promotions can be redeemed at a point of sale such as a web site or a physical retailer. In one contemplated embodiment, a user accesses the promotion service via a smart phone, and a bar code or other information associated with the promotion is displayed on the smart phone in response to a user request.Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2011Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Reuben Klein, Sreenivasa Gorti, Karen Mullis

Patent number: 10367942Abstract: A service session is facilitated via a packet switched network; in the service session, user equipment participates in an interactive communication exchange with an agent via a first interaction mode, and the interactive communication exchange is based on a user inquiry. The interactive communication exchange is monitored and a determination is made that a consultation service would facilitate resolution of the user inquiry. A service resource is associated with the service session responsive to determining that the consultation service would facilitate the resolution; the service resource provides consultation to the agent via a second interaction mode without exposing the consultation to the user equipment. The consultation elevates an experience level employed in the first service session towards resolution of the user inquiry.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2018Date of Patent: July 30, 2019Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Reuben Klein, Mazin E.
