Publication number: 20240031343Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a method that includes receiving user input to configure a secure storage unit (SSU) having a first portion attached to a network and storing encrypted data, a second portion attached to the network and storing unencrypted data, and a third portion attachable to the network. The user input defines a security level for each portion. The method also includes receiving a data object for storage in the SSU, and determining a data security level for the data object; the data security level is determined by user input regarding the data object and/or analysis of the data object by the processing system, and the analysis includes analysis of attributes of the data object and/or content of the data object. The method further includes storing the data object in the SSU according to the data security level. Other embodiments are disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2022Publication date: January 25, 2024Applicant: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Stephen J. Griesmer, Himanshu Ranpura

Patent number: 10623571Abstract: Embodiments of the invention involve providing automated assistance to an agent operating an agent terminal. A database stores an automated assistance session comprising communications between at least one client terminal and at least one agent terminal during a communication session. The automated assistance session is restored in response to a connection being reestablished with the client terminal after the client terminal disconnects during the communication session. A client communication is received from the client terminal, and a plurality of statements is determined based on the client communication and the communications of the automated assistance session stored in the database. The statements are configured to be manually selected by an agent or automatically selected by an automated agent. The automated agent is engaged for automatically selecting one of the statements in response to a predetermined condition.Type: GrantFiled: July 10, 2018Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: [24]7.ai, Inc.Inventors: Stephen J.

Patent number: 9713102Abstract: A device is disclosed for determining a first geographical location of a customer premise, a second geographical location of a radio frequency transmitter and a third geographical location of network access equipment proximal to the customer premises, wherein the network access equipment provides access to media signals by way of a broadband communications link. The first, second and third geographical locations are mapped, and a distance between the second geographical location and one of the first geographical location or the third geographical location is determined. The distance is compared to a threshold distance based on a signal transmission power of the radio frequency transmitter, and a mitigation strategy is determined to limit interference of the radio frequency transmitter on the media signals provided to the first geographical location when the distance is less than the threshold distance.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2015Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: James G.
