Patent number: 9270735Abstract: The present invention discloses improved systems and methods for multisite management of computer server systems and in particular converged communication systems based on a decentralized architecture. Certain and various aspects relating to atomic error handling, transaction-based authentication/security, intelligent bandwidth management, decoupled data/configuration messaging, improved scalability, auto-detection functions, business metrics, etc., also are disclosed. A console is disclosed that communicates with each of a plurality of converged communications systems, e.g., preferably through the use of sockets. The actual traffic load is decentralized among the computer server systems, as each one uses direct connections (e.g., via an enhanced file transfer protocol) to access update/configuration data as needed. In addition, an improved communication protocol is disclosed that is optimized for the multisite management architecture of the present invention.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2012Date of Patent: February 23, 2016Assignee: RPX CorporationInventors: Mark L. Kamenetsky, Timothy J. Kusumi, Adeline Pang, Scott K. Pickett, Uthayakumar Kumarasamy, Dolores Seraphina Atemasov

Patent number: 8626855Abstract: Systems, methods and apparatus are provided that combine a software application framework within a variety of consumer communication devices to provide enhanced functionality. The enhanced functionality devices can then be controlled and integrated into an Internet based application and delivery service, connected by various networking technologies including, e.g., broadband communication systems. Centralized and distributed services allow a user to modify a variety of parameters that will ultimately control how information is delivered. The solution can also be controlled by service providers as a method for integrating their existing application infrastructure and potentially new applications within an overall broadband communication service.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2011Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: BroadSoft Casabi, LLCInventors: Gregory E. Pounds, Timothy J. Kusumi

Patent number: 8346905Abstract: A method for providing a report database is disclosed. A server system coordinates management activities for a plurality of localized devices. An abstraction layer references the localized devices as “locations” rather than physical equipment, which are distinct from an IP address. The server system communicates with an individual device of the plurality of localized devices via the abstraction layer to request software distribution information without requiring user initiation at the individual device. Communications between the server system and the individual device are performed using a protectable communications protocol that includes an atomic error handling capability to enable one or more transaction instructions to be reversed upon an error in one of the plurality of transaction instructions.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2010Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Converged Data Solutions Inc.Inventors: Mark L.

Patent number: 8209412Abstract: Methods for managing localized devices providing voice/data services in a plurality of geographically diverse locations. A console system is provided to coordinate management activities for software on the plurality of localized devices. The console system communicates with an individual device of the plurality of localized devices via a protectable communications protocol to provide software configuration information to the individual device. The software configuration information provides the individual device with information sufficient to establish a direct link with a software distribution server in order to receive software data without requiring user initiation at the individual device. The protectable communications protocol includes an atomic error handling capability to enable one or more transaction instructions to be conditionally executed. Marketing feedback statistics may be collected from the plurality of localized devices sufficient to assess the response to an advertisement.Type: GrantFiled: March 12, 2011Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignee: Converged Data Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Mark L. Kamenetsky, Timothy J. Kusumi, Adeline Pang, Scott K. Pickett, Uthayakumar Kumarasamy
