  • Patent number: 11166252
    Abstract: A device profile manager receives notification of a user operating a mobile communication device in a subscriber domain. In response to detecting authorized usage of the mobile communication device in the subscriber domain, the device profile manager initiates registering of the mobile communication device and/or corresponding non-head of household user for subsequent use of incremental subscription services assigned to the subscriber domain. Subsequent to auto-registration of the mobile communication device to use services associated with the subscriber domain, the non-head of household user operating the mobile communication device is able to use the incremental subscription services assigned to the subscriber domain based on the identifier value of the mobile communication device without submission of access credentials.

  • Patent number: 10368227
    Abstract: A network management application receives input from a subscriber operating a computer device to add a new wireless access point to a network environment. The input specifies a geographical location in which the subscriber requests installation of the new wireless access point in the network environment. The network management application produces a message to include the geographical location as specified by the input. The message indicates that the subscriber requests installation of the new wireless access point at the geographical location. The network management application initiates transmission of the message from the computer device to an aggregator resource at a remote location. A service provider analyzes installation request information produced by the aggregator resource to determine where to install one or more new wireless access points in the network environment.

  • Patent number: 7817995
    Abstract: Systems and methods for scheduling audio and/or visual content for recording using a mobile station are provided. A mobile station can display a content guide listing audio and/or visual content. When a dispatch button is depressed, a request for recording of the audio and/or visual content which is currently selected is sent to a server. The server forwards the request to a television device, which schedules the recording of the selected audio and/or visual content. Reminder messages regarding upcoming audio and/or visual content can be sent to the mobile station. If a dispatch button of the mobile station is depressed when the reminder message is being displayed, a request to record the audio and/or visual content identified in the reminder message is sent to the television device.
