Patent number: 9781011Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for controlling network service quality. According to an aspect of the invention, a computer-implemented method is provided for controlling levels of quality of service (QoS) for transmitting data between a terminal and a destination. The method comprises enforcing a first level of a QoS to a connection between the terminal and the network, receiving a user-requested, second level of the QoS from the terminal, identifying a currently-available level of the QoS on the network, determining a third level of the QoS based at least in part on the currently-available level of the QoS on the network and the second level of the QoS, and enforcing the third level of the QoS. Methods and system are provided for enabling users at the terminals to specify online a level of network QoS, and the system dynamically changes the quality level and the plan to satisfy the request.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2015Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: Japan Communications Inc.Inventors: Frank Seiji Sanda, Naohisa Fukuda, Kevin K. Taylor, Kenichi Goto, Yasushi Shibuya, Corey Mitchell

Publication number: 20170201627Abstract: Methods and systems provide a telephone service with a personal switch box. One aspect of an embodiment of the invention extends use of a telephone number on a Public Switched Telephone Network to mobile terminals by a personal switch box relaying telephone call signals between the Public Telephone Network and an IP-PBX, where the IP-PBX routes the calls between the personal switch box and a cellular phone that is associated with the personal switch box, through a gateway of a mobile virtual network operator the telephone number over mobile wireless network. The gateway may control network bandwidth allocation for the data traffic with the mobile terminals during voice stream data transmission for providing required quality of service.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2016Publication date: July 13, 2017Inventors: Naohisa Fukuda, Frank Seiji Sanda, Yasushi Kudo, Greg Deickman, Kotaro Takahashi, Hiroaki Yokoyama, Takaaki Kawataka, Daisuke Tajima, Takahiro Sato, Kazuhiro Shirato

Patent number: 9571371Abstract: Provided is a technology that makes it possible for billing and balance management in the form of units that are difficult to understand for a user, to be expressed and managed in the form of units that are easy to understand from the viewpoint of the actual purpose of use. The network connection communication system is provided with means for expressing the unit price of network usage in terms of units that a user can understand more intuitively in the light of the purpose for which the network is used. For instance, the number of connection minutes (time), the number of books purchased and downloaded over the network, or the number of connections to a communicating partner can be used depending on the purpose of use of a service.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 2015Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: Japan Communications Inc.Inventors: Naohisa Fukuda, Seiji Sanda, Akihiko Sawa, Mitsuteru Okazaki, Jun Tajima, Nobuhisa Yoda

Publication number: 20160381693Abstract: Methods and systems for dynamically controlling per-session throughput and application priority are provided. Said method is under the control of one or more computer systems configured with executable instructions. The method comprises receiving, at a mobile virtual network operator, a request to initiate a data-based application. The request is received from a mobile device that is associated with a data plan that is managed by the mobile virtual network operator. The data-based application is associated with a category of data. The method also comprises evaluating the request at a feedback-based packet control system of the mobile virtual network operator utilizing a speed monitoring module and business rule engine in evaluating the request. The method further comprises allocating data to the data-based application request. The allocation of data is based on a data plan and and/or category of data. Additionally, the method comprises providing the data-based application request to a server.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2016Publication date: December 29, 2016Inventors: FRANK SEIJI SANDA, NAOHISA FUKUDA, YASUSHI KUDO, MASAKAZU KANAYAMA, GREG DEICKMAN, JASON PROUTY, JUSTICE OBREY, HIROKAZU TSURUGA, NADAV KALMAN ROSEN

Patent number: 9083820Abstract: Network connection systems and methods for managing a variety of services over different kinds of networks. A network connection and communication system is provided that monitors and displays units of network usage over a selected network. The information can be displayed in terms of usage units that are easy to understand from the viewpoint of a user. For instance, a display screen can indicate the number of available or used usage units, eg, connection minutes (time), the number of books purchased and downloaded over the network, the number of connections to a communicating partner. Multiple conversions can occur between various services that are available depending on the type of service and selected network.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2010Date of Patent: July 14, 2015Assignee: Japan Communications Inc.Inventors: Naohisa Fukuda, Seiji Sanda, Mitsuteru Okazaki, Akihiko Sawa, Jun Tajima, Nobuhisa Yoda

Publication number: 20140211614Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for providing redundancy in data network communications. Data traffic on a first network channel used for the data communication between the two or more host systems can be monitored to obtain one or more attributes associated with the data traffic. Based on the data attributes, it may be determined whether one or more anomalies associated with the attributes exist. If so, the anomalies may be used to determine whether they are indicative of an imminent or current network event or condition. In response to a determination that the one or more anomalies are indicative of the event or condition, a second network channel may be selected for the data communication between the two or more host systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2014Publication date: July 31, 2014Applicant: Arxceo CorporationInventors: James Marcus Winn, Jonathan Somers, Yasushi Kudo, Nobuhisa Yoda, Frank Seiji Sanda, Naohisa Fukuda
