  • Patent number: 10085198
    Abstract: A user device may receive information that identifies a service preference for the user device. The user device may determine an application threshold based on an application that is being executed by the user device. The user device may determine first network metric values associated with a cellular network, and determine second network metric values associated with a wireless local area network. The user device may automatically switch connectivity, of the user device, between the cellular network and the wireless local area network based on the service preference, the application threshold, the first network metric values, and the second network metric values.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9966087
    Abstract: A method that may be performed by a device may include receiving, from a personal camera, streaming content via a first WiFi interface. The method may include receiving a vocal instruction regarding the streaming content. The method may include determining configuration information based on which to modify or provide the streaming content. The configuration information may be determined based on one or more of: location information associated with the device, or the vocal instruction. The method may include modifying the streaming content, to obtain modified streaming content, based on the configuration information. The method may include providing the modified streaming content via a second WiFi interface.

  • Patent number: 9408048
    Abstract: A user device includes a controlling application for a child's wearable device. A network device receives configuration settings for an event widget that activates the wearable device to send a prepared text message to a trusted contact and to receive a pre-recorded audio message from the trusted contact. The network device downloads the event widget to the wearable device and receives a selection signal that the event widget was selected. The network device authorizes the wearable device to send the prepared text message to the trusted contact when the widget selection time or current location for the wearable device matches the stored configuration settings. The network device receives, from the trusted contact, an acknowledgement of the prepared text message and sends the pre-recorded audio message to the wearable device. The network device facilitates communications between the trusted contact and the controlling application to provide live video from the user device.

  • Patent number: 9392523
    Abstract: A device may establish a first communication with a first communication device using short-range wireless communication technology. The device may establish a second communication with a second communication device using short-range wireless communication technology. The device may receive a voice call from the second communication device. The device may determine call information associated with the voice call. The device may compare the call information with stored call information. The device may associate a path condition, previously associated with the stored call information, with the voice call if the call information matches the stored call information. The device may selectively establish a call path to a speaker associated with the device or to the first communication device based on the path condition.
