Patent number: 11880342Abstract: Disclosed here is a visual collaboration software including multiple digital canvas and multiple tools enabling collaboration among multiple users by enabling creation and sharing of visual information including text and drawings. The visual collaboration software obtains from a second software, e.g., a project management software, a file or a portion of the file, and displays the file or the portion in one of the multiple digital canvases. In one embodiment, the visual collaboration software can enable the user to interact with the file obtained from the second software and can pass the modifications to the file to the second software. In another embodiment, the visual collaboration software can only display the file or the portion of the file in one of the multiple digital canvases, and an interaction between the user and the file has to be passed to the second software to compute to the effect of the interaction.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2022Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventor: Shelby Seward

Publication number: 20230014814Abstract: The disclosed system and method enable multiple user devices to track the read/unread status of received messages, even though the user reads the message on only one device. A server of a telecommunication network can receive, from a user device associated with a sender, a message sent to a recipient. The user device does not communicate to the server that the received message has been read. Upon receiving the message, the server can determine that the message is in reply to a message thread and can update a status of a second message in the message thread to the read status. The second message is the most recent message in the message thread sent by the recipient to the sender. The server can provide the updated status of the second message in the message thread to the multiple user devices associated with the sender.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Inventors: Shelby Seward, Thomas Cast

Patent number: 11425208Abstract: User devices configured to select subsets of network identities and network devices configured to deliver messages based on those subsets are described herein. The user devices each receive multiple network identities for a service account, select a subset of the network identities based on preferences, and provide the selected subset to the telecommunication network in message headers. The preferences indicate network identities for which a user wishes the user device to receive communications. A network device receives and caches the subsets. The network device further utilizes the subsets in determining which user device to deliver messages to.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2021Date of Patent: August 23, 2022Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventor: Shelby Seward

Patent number: 11375363Abstract: A network terminal, e.g., a smartphone, can retrieve, from a datastore, a cryptographically-signed configuration record including a device identifier of the terminal. The terminal can transmit a request message comprising the configuration record and the device identifier. A network device can verify authenticity of the device identifier and a match between the identifier in the record and the identifier in the message. In response to confirmation of the request by a policy engine, the network device can determine a reply message comprising a cryptographically-signed second configuration record that includes a second device identifier. The terminal can verify that the signature is valid and that the second device identifier matches the device identifier. In response, the terminal can modify data in the datastore according to the second configuration record. The configuration record can lock or unlock the terminal, or determine permitted services or network peers.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2019Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Poornima Magadevan, Jeffrey Song, Mathew George, Senthil Kumar Mulluppadi Velusamy, Cristian Asandului, Thomas P.

Patent number: 11032331Abstract: In some aspects, a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) proxy server of an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) infrastructure is configured to process SIP registration requests. In operation, the SIP proxy server receives a single SIP registration request that includes a plurality of IMS Public User Identities (IMPUs). The SIP proxy server then authenticates the plurality of IMPUs to determine which of the plurality of IMPUs are authorized IMPUs. A plurality of SIP registrations are then performed by the SIP proxy server, wherein each SIP registration of the plurality of SIP registrations is a SIP registration of a respective authorized IMPU.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2018Date of Patent: June 8, 2021Assignee: T-Mobile USA, Inc.Inventors: Shelby Seward, Robert F.
