Patent number: 8077847Abstract: A method for converting a first time and a first date in a first format to a second time in a second format includes determining a number of seconds that have elapsed between a predetermined date and a beginning of a current year of the first date. The method further includes adding to the determined number of seconds, a calculated number of seconds calculated from the beginning of the current year to a current month and a current day of the first date to obtain a first sum. The first sum varies based on whether the current month is within a leap year and is subsequent to a leap day of the leap year. A number of seconds that have elapsed between a beginning of the current day of the first date and the first time is added to the first sum. Lastly, a predetermined number of seconds is added to the first sum when Daylight Savings Time is in effect to obtain the second time in the second format.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2008Date of Patent: December 13, 2011Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Kenneth Robert Stroud, Jeffrey Lewis Brandt, Rick Anthony Cherye

Patent number: 7957509Abstract: A method for updating communications service parameters includes receiving, at a platform configured for speech recognition functionality and corresponding to a communications address associated with verbally updating communications service parameters, a voice instruction from a requester to update a communications service parameter. The voice instruction is translated into digital command data and the digital command data and the update to the communications service parameter are stored in a database. A change in a communications service corresponding to the update to the communications service parameter is implemented in near real-time.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2007Date of Patent: June 7, 2011Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Susanne Marie Crockett, Dianna Inara Tiliks, Gordon Lynn Blumenschein, James Daniel Kovarik, Scott Ryan Watry, Kenneth Robert Stroud

Publication number: 20100166160Abstract: A system and method deliver audible caller identification information when standard Caller ID information is invalid or cannot be provided. In one disclosed embodiment, the Caller ID information must include a valid number of digits and a valid area code. If the Caller ID information is not valid, a calling party is prompted by an announcement to provide the audible caller identification information.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 23, 2009Publication date: July 1, 2010Applicant: AT&T INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY I, L.P.Inventors: John Wesley Moss, James Daniel Kovarik, Kenneth Robert Stroud, Rick Anthony Cherye

Publication number: 20100111271Abstract: A system includes a switch responsive to a control module. The control module that determines whether an incoming telephone call from a telephone number to a telephone line is a facsimile call or a voice call and whether facsimile calls are authorized to be routed to the telephone line. When the incoming telephone call is a voice call, the control module instructs a switch to route the incoming telephone call to the telephone line. When the incoming telephone call is a voice call, the control module instructs the switch to route the incoming telephone call to the telephone line when facsimile calls are authorized, and to deny routing the incoming telephone call to the telephone line when facsimile calls are not authorized.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2009Publication date: May 6, 2010Applicant: AT&T Intellectual Property I, LPInventors: Kenneth Robert Stroud, Paul A. Raccio

Patent number: 7653184Abstract: Whether a facsimile transmission tone is within a call is detected before routing the call from a switch of a telephone network to a first telephone line. When the facsimile transmission tone is detected, whether an incoming facsimile transmission transmitted by the call is permitted to be routed to the first telephone line is determined based at least partially on restriction information. Routing of the call from the switch to the first telephone line is denied when the incoming facsimile transmission is not permitted to be routed to the first telephone line.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2005Date of Patent: January 26, 2010Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, LPInventors: Kenneth Robert Stroud, Paul A. Raccio

Patent number: 7580513Abstract: Call logs are generated based upon calls from a subscriber line and calls to a subscriber line. The call logs are formatted from Generic Data Interface (GDI) messages into an email format (e.g., SMTP) within a call log gateway. The formatted email is then emailed to an email recipient, which can include a messaging service provider or the subscriber himself. The email address to the recipient is determined by the call log gateway based upon the subscriber's identity.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2005Date of Patent: August 25, 2009Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Carol Shifrin Gruchala, Richard John Ebel, Kenneth Robert Stroud, James M.

Patent number: 7529361Abstract: A system and method for numbering plan area (NPA) split processing is disclosed. In one implementation, a query is received during a permissive dialing period. The query comprises a destination location that is associated with a first NPA. It is determined whether a first call processing record identifies a service that is NPA sensitive. The first call processing record is associated with a destination location that is undergoing a NPA split. The first call processing record is identified by the destination location and the destination location is associated with a first NPA. A second call processing record is then used for processing in place of the first call processing record when the first call processing record identifies a service that is NPA sensitive. The second call processing record is associated with the destination location that is undergoing an NPA split. The second call processing record is identified by the destination location and the destination location is associated with a second NPA.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2008Date of Patent: May 5, 2009Assignee: SBC Technology Resources, Inc.Inventors: Kenneth Robert Stroud, Rick Anthony Cherye, Laura Kay Culli

Patent number: 7505575Abstract: A method and system include routing telephone calls from multiple private networks via public lines and trunks in a public switched telephone network (PSTN) to a host switch, at which the connections would begin to run parallel. The host switch routes the telephone calls via a private trunk group to a private facility, such as an electronic tandem network (ETN) node or an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switch. If the private trunk group is full or unavailable, the host switch routes the telephone calls over alternate private or public trunk groups and selected carriers.Type: GrantFiled: August 28, 2007Date of Patent: March 17, 2009Assignee: AT&T Labs, Inc.Inventors: Harold C. Fleischer, III, John E. Simino, Kenneth Robert Stroud

Patent number: 7450701Abstract: An advanced intelligent network (AIN) based system and method that allows a subscriber connected to the Internet to receive customized call alerts and caller identification information concerning an incoming telephone call. Using client software, the subscriber associates telephone numbers to sound files. Then, when an incoming call with caller identification information is received, the client software determines whether the incoming telephone number points to a sound file. If so, the client software directs the sound file to play.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2004Date of Patent: November 11, 2008Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Susanne Marie Crockett, Gordon Lynn Blumenschein, James Daniel Kovarik, Kenneth Robert Stroud, Dianna Inara Tiliks, William R.
