Publication number: 20250150459Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for parental controls based on the location of a wireless computing device. Wireless access points may be located in different locations, e.g., in different rooms of a home. The location of the wireless computing device may be determined based on comparing measured signal strengths to baseline signal strengths associated with the location. Information related to an access level associated with the location may be determined. The access level may, for example, permit access to content in a first location, but prevent access to the content in a second location. Content may be provided to the wireless computing device based on the access level associated with the location.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 23, 2024Publication date: May 8, 2025Inventors: Brian James, Bridget Brennan, Steven Leardi

Patent number: 12261887Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for monitoring device data and/or gateway data. Devices may be connected to a network via a gateway device. Data transmitted and/or received by one or more of the devices may be captured and monitored to determine various parameters associated with the one or more devices. Data associated with the gateway device may also be captured and monitored. Signal strengths, device statuses, network security, and/or other metrics may be determined based on monitored data.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2018Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: Comcast Cable Communications, LLCInventors: Rhys McCaig, Seetharaman Ramasubramani, Gaurav Khandpur, Paddy Vishnubhatt, Evan Kaverman, Eric Bertrand, Andrea Peiro, Jeffrey Barberio, Remko Vos, Jeremy Clark, Steven Leardi, Albert Ribe Costa, Thomas Fad

Publication number: 20240348619Abstract: Methods and systems for managing permission controls are disclosed. A method can comprise receiving a request to perform one or more restricted activities. The request can include at least an identifier of a first user associated with the request and an identification of the one or more restricted activities. The identifier of the first user associated with the request and/or the identification of the one or more restricted activities can be presented to a second user, such as an administrator. A response to the request can be provided by the second user and transmitted comprising information relating to one or more of a grant, denial, or modification of the performance of the one or more restricted activities. The transmitted response can be configured to be processed by the source to effect grant, denial, or modification of the performance of the one or more restricted activities.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 25, 2024Publication date: October 17, 2024Inventors: Robb D'EGIDIO, Steven LEARDI, Peter SIMON, Marcus LOECHNER, Zhe ZHANG
