Patent number: 9292368Abstract: An approach is provided for controlling a user device native function via a web-based application at a user device (e.g., a mobile terminal). The mobile terminal executes a web-based application and a shell application, wherein the shell application provides communication between the web-based application and a native function of the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal registers the web-based application with the shell application for the communication. The mobile terminal invokes the native function of the mobile terminal via the communication based upon a communication protocol that specifies a command of a native function associated with a set top box.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2010Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: VERIZON PATENT AND LICENSING INC.Inventors: Balamuralidhar Maddali, T.

Patent number: 8942213Abstract: An approach for enabling wireless communication devices to mount and/or unmount one or more storage devices to facilitate data sharing is described. A processor of a user device generates a request message according to a storage access protocol that is operating system agnostic. The processor then initiates transmission of the request message over a wireless link of an ad-hoc network to a system that includes one or more storage devices, wherein the request message requests storage device information relating to the one or more storage devices.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2011Date of Patent: January 27, 2015Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Balamuralidhar Maddali, T. Sahaya George, Madan Kanth Lanka, Thalha Yasir Refaye, Mahendra Nimishakavi, Vasanthakumar Sarpasayanam, Sivasankari Venkataramamoorthy, Naman Patel

Patent number: 8671434Abstract: An approach is provided for supporting messaging services via a set-top box. A set-top box establishes communications with a user device. The set-top box receives a message from the user device, and stores the message for inclusion in a messaging log. The set-top box presents content of the messaging log via a display coupled to the set-top box. According to one embodiment, the set-top box receives network address information of the user device, maps the network address information to location information, and retrieves information from a data repository based on the location information. In another embodiment, the user device acquires information about a program being experience by a user via the set-top box, and generates a message to provide presence status information to a social network service based on the program information.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2010Date of Patent: March 11, 2014Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Balamuralidhar Maddali, T.

Patent number: 8495686Abstract: An approach is provided for controlling a set top box on an ad hoc basis. A wireless device detects a mobile terminal that is configured to control one or more set top boxes via a wireless local area network. The wireless device controls, over an adhoc connection, the one or more set top boxes directly or via the mobile terminal based on the detection of the mobile terminal.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2010Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Balamuralidhar Maddali, T. Sahaya George, Madan Kanth Lanka, Thalha Yasir Refaye, Mahendra Nimishakavi, Vasanthakumar Sarpasayanam, Sivasankari S. Vekataramamoorthy, Naman Patel

Patent number: 8429707Abstract: An approach is provided for controlling a set-top box based on sensor triggered events on a user device. A set-top box receives a control message from a user device, wherein the control message specifies an event corresponding to one or more sensors of the user device. The set-top box maps the event to an activity associated with an application that is executed by the set-top box. Also, the set-top box presents media content provided by the application according to the mapped activity.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2010Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Naman Patel, T. Sahaya George, Balamuralidhar Maddali, Madankanth Lanka, Thalha Yasir Refaye, Vasanthakumar Sarpasayanam, Varaprasad Meka, Abhishek Malhotra, Sampath Raman, Sankaran Raman, Praveen Prabhaharan, Raju Ramakrishnan
