Patent number: 11750478Abstract: Methods and systems described herein describe a central server that continuously monitors network connectivity of remote computers operated by remote employees. When a customer establishes an electronic communication session with the server (e.g., call or chat session), the server identifies one or more applications to be executed to satisfy the customer's requests. The server then calculates a network traffic value threshold corresponding to a minimum network connectivity attributes needed to execute the identified applications. The server then route the customer's electronic communication session to an agent whose remote computer satisfies the network traffic value threshold.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2021Date of Patent: September 5, 2023Assignee: Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance CompanyInventors: Payton Shubrick, Joseph Fortini, Joseph Calabrese

Patent number: 11743303Abstract: Remote control to facilitate the management, configuration, or maintenance of information technology infrastructure is provided. The system activates a real-time communication session and a code for the real-time communication session. The system generates a link with an indication of the code for the real-time communication session. The system transmits the link to a mobile telecommunications device that launches a web browser to request content. The system receives the request for content, and obtains access to data from a sensor of the mobile telecommunications device. The system identifies the real-time communication session corresponding to the code. The system establishes, via a web socket over a network protocol, the real-time communication session with a data feed from the sensor. The system provides, based on at least a portion of the data feed, a command to control the mobile telecommunications device.Type: GrantFiled: July 12, 2021Date of Patent: August 29, 2023Assignee: ConnectWise, LLCInventors: Jeff Bishop, Jake Morgan

Patent number: 11729234Abstract: An audio-visual sharing system has a first user with a mobile platform executing an application and coupled to an Internet network, a second user with a mobile platform executing the application and coupled to the Internet network, an Internet-connected server having a processor executing coded instructions, and coupled to a data repository, a first profile for the first user stored in the data repository; and a second profile for the second user stored in the data repository. The first user is present at an event capturing audio and video of proximate activity and streaming same to the server. The second user is not present at the event, but both the first and second mobile platforms receive an AR board display comprising avatars for the users. The second user is enabled to interact with the first user's avatar to share the audio and video streamed by the first user.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2023Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Inventors: Daniel Goddard, Bryton Eric James

Patent number: 11710575Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for secure messaging with constrained user actions. An example method includes causing presentation of an interactive user interface, the interactive user interface enabling messaging with end users, each end user being associated with a respective phone number. Selection of a particular end user is received via the interaction user interface and the interactive user interface is updated to include a selectable option which triggers transmission of a standardized consent message to a particular phone number associated with the particular end user. A reply message is received from the particular phone number indicating the affirmative consent. The interactive user interface is updated, with the updated interactive user interface including an input portion configured to receive arbitrary information for transmission to the particular phone number.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2021Date of Patent: July 25, 2023Assignee: Textline, Inc.Inventors: Marshall Jaquish, Jordan Gadapee, Randall Berg, Mark Lilien
