Patent number: 10825032Abstract: A system that provides a fulfillment action (or “action”) is provided. The system defines an action specification including a pattern of a structured request to perform work on a subject. The system further defines data for the action specification, where the data includes an action code template that references action codes, and a parameter list template that references parameters. The system further defines the subject for the action specification, where the subject includes a subject template that references entity specifications. The system further defines a target for the action specification, where the target includes a target template that references resource specifications. The system further generates an instance of the action based on the action specification, where the pattern of the structured request to perform work is transformed into process logic configured to perform the work on the subject.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2013Date of Patent: November 3, 2020Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Ben Eng, Glenn Dexter Swanson, Ahmad Naser Abdelrahman, Paul Hugh Wilkie Bishop, Mariusz Makos, Todd Spraggins

Patent number: 10460331Abstract: A system that provides a technical catalog is provided. The system defines items including metadata used by a fulfillment solution to drive service order fulfillment, where each item is used by the fulfillment solution to fulfill an order. The system further stores the items within the technical catalog, where the technical catalog includes a data store that stores metadata, and where the technical catalog defines a structure of the items. The metadata defines the key entities and behavioral elements used to specialize service order fulfillment capabilities such as service order orchestration, service order design and assign, etc. The system further designs the fulfillment solution to use an item to fulfill an order. The system further generates the fulfillment solution using the item.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2013Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Paul Hugh Wilkie Bishop, Ahmad Naser Abdelrahman, Glenn Dexter Swanson, Deepankar Dey, Todd Spraggins

Patent number: 10318969Abstract: A system that generates a technical order is provided. The system receives a configuration delta including a change in a configuration of resource-facing services or resources. The system further generates technical actions that effectuate the configuration delta, where each technical action includes metadata that defines a pattern of a structured request to perform work on a resource-facing service that is based on a resource-facing service specification or a resource that is based on a resource specification. The system further generates technical order lines, where each technical order line includes a technical action and a resource-facing service that is based on a resource-facing service specification or a resource that is based on a resource specification.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2013Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Glenn Dexter Swanson, Ahmad Naser Abdelrahman, Todd Spraggins

Publication number: 20140012708Abstract: A system that designs a fulfillment solution and fulfills an order using the fulfillment solution is provided. The system defines a technical catalog that includes items including metadata used by a fulfillment solution. The system further defines a fulfillment solution blueprint that includes multiple order layers that define multiple layers of the fulfillment solution, multiple provider functions structured according to a dynamic pattern-driven model, and multiple interface contracts defining multiple interactions between multiple provider functions. The system further designs the fulfillment solution to use at least one item of the technical catalog to fulfill an order. The system further designs the fulfillment solution based on the fulfillment solution blueprint. The system further generates the fulfillment solution based on the fulfillment solution blueprint using at least one item of the technical catalog.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2013Publication date: January 9, 2014Inventors: Ahmad Naser ABDELRAHMAN, Paul Hugh Wilkie BISHOP, Glenn Dexter SWANSON, Deepankar DEY, Todd SPRAGGINS, Ben ENG

Patent number: 8199727Abstract: A system and a method in a wireless network utilizing session initiation protocol (SIP) for call control. The SIP payload (SDP) contains a list of available transcoders (codecs) to coordinate transcoder selection to allow for the minimization of transcoders. An additional aspect of the embodiment of the present invention includes a serving MSCe that is operable to determine whether to initiate ringback to the calling party. If ring back is to be initiated, ringback can be initiated from the serving MSCe or from a network element supporting the calling party. The call negotiation process according to the described embodiment of the invention eliminates the requirement for any transcoding in specific situations to result in the number of transcoders used in the voice bearer path to be reduced to 0 (TrFO, Transcoder Free Operation) or to 1 (RTO, remote transmitter operation).Type: GrantFiled: November 17, 2004Date of Patent: June 12, 2012Assignee: Ericsson ABInventors: Marvin Bienn, Gary Stephens, Todd Spraggins

Publication number: 20100272072Abstract: A system and a method in a wireless network utilizing session initiation protocol (SIP) for call control. The SIP payload (SDP) contains a list of voice codecs to coordinate the selection of voice bearer resources (between a calling party and a called party) such that the number of transcoders in the voice bearer path is minimized. An additional aspect of the embodiment of the present invention includes a serving MSCe that is operable to determine whether to initiate or discontinue ringback to the calling party. If ring back is to be initiated, ringback can be initiated from a Serving MGW controlled by the serving MSCe. The call negotiation process according to the described embodiment of the invention eliminates the requirement for any transcoding in specific situations to result in the number of transcoders used in the voice bearer path to be reduced to 0 (TrFO, Transcoder Free Operation) or to 1 (RTO, remote transmitter operation).Type: ApplicationFiled: July 5, 2010Publication date: October 28, 2010Applicant: ERICSSON ABInventors: MARVIN BIENN, GARY STEPHENS, TODD SPRAGGINS
