Patent number: 11949674Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are described for authenticating a user device and/or user application. A user device may receive, based on a first authentication request, a plurality of messages sent over a plurality of channels of communication (e.g., a message to a URL address associated with the user device and a binary Short Message Service (SMS) message). Based on information from the messages, the user device may transmit a second authentication request.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2023Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventors: Vinayaka Poovappa, Saravanan Muthusamy, Ken Landry, Rajesh Sonak

Publication number: 20230328516Abstract: Methods and systems for providing a wireless communication service are disclosed. A device identifier for a wireless communication service can be used to generate a connection profile (e.g., communication profile, wide-area network profile, service profile, network profile, etc.) for the wireless communication service that requires credentials for authentication. The connection profile can be generated in response to a user accessing or signing up for the wireless communication service. The connection profile can comprise a username that includes and/or mirrors the device identifier and a password generated by inputting the device identifier into a predefined function. The connection profile also can comprise an authentication identifier. A service provider applies a specific type of authentication for devices that provide the authentication identifier as part of an authentication request message.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2023Publication date: October 12, 2023Inventors: Theodore Cyril, Brad Mayer, Saravanan Muthusamy

Publication number: 20220070172Abstract: A network (e.g., Wi-Fi network, Internet, a private network, a public network, a content delivery network, cellular network, etc.) may be configured to uniquely identifying a user device (e.g., a mobile device, a smart device, a computer/computing device, a client device, etc.) using a random identifier (e.g., a random Media Access Control (MAC) address, etc.) and provide the user device identity-based services based on a secure transfer and identification of a persistent identifier (e.g., a MAC address, etc.) of the user device. The identity-based services may include: login-less network connection and/or reconnection, one or more subscription services, parental controls, content/advertisement tracking, private network access (e.g., identifier-based routing to private SSIDs, etc.), and/or the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 2, 2021Publication date: March 3, 2022Inventors: Saravanan Muthusamy, Prasad Siddalinga, Vinayaka Poovappa

Publication number: 20200336515Abstract: Methods and systems related to supporting real time communications are disclosed. In one type of a real time communication session, prior to an offer and acceptance to perform real time communications, a communication channel may be established between a caller device and a callee device. Information related to addresses of the caller and callee devices can be contained in, or pointed to, by a Universal Resource Locators (URLs) for the caller and callee devices. A network computing device may communicate messages relating to establishing and maintaining the communication channel between the caller and callee devices. In a scenario where the network computing device becomes unavailable, another network computing device can use the URLs and other channel information that may be stored in the database, to handle messages.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2020Publication date: October 22, 2020Inventors: Rameshkumar Ayyasamy Jayapal, Manoj Chaudhari, Naresh Mudupu, Chris Wendt, Saravanan Muthusamy, Balachandar Gurusamy, Neppoliyan Thangavelu
