US Patent:

6449350, Sep 10, 2002

Filed:

Nov 18, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/424101

Inventors:

Stephen Todd Cox - Conyers GA

Assignee:

BellSouth Intellectual Property Corporation - Wilmington DE

International Classification:

H04M 1500

US Classification:

379134, 37911203, 37911205, 37911206, 3791121, 379133

Abstract:

A process and system is disclosed for determining automatically and dynamically the correct time segment during which a switch or components of a switch receive peak traffic from a communications network. The process collects traffic data regarding the usage of a selected switch or selected switch components. The traffic data is collected over a selected journalling period (e. g. , 30 days), which is periodically updated with new traffic data to maintain a journal of the most recent 30 days of collected traffic data. Collected traffic data, is filtered to remove aberrant or corrupting data. An average peak usage segment for all of the segments of the journalling period is selected from the remaining filtered traffic data. By regularly adding new data to and removing old data from the journal, the resulting moving window will reflect recent changes in peak usage. Regularly (e. g.

International Classification:

G01R031/08

US Classification:

370/230000, 370/241000

Abstract:

Systems and methods for managing deployed trunk circuit capacity in a telecommunications network are disclosed. The usage of groups of trunk circuits in the network can be monitored to collect network traffic data. Analysis of the traffic data provides for computation of performance metrics and calculation of time-moving averages. The analyzed data is input into forecasting models to plan network capacity deployments to meet the expected demand. Network equipment and facilities are provisioned to meet the forecasted plan. Connection routing is adjusted to utilize the provisioned equipment and facilities.

14/706167

Inventors:

Stephen Cox - Alpharetta GA, US
Nirag Nagada - Atlanta GA, US

International Classification:

G06F 19/00

Abstract:

A system and method is provided for performing patient triage via a remote processor based device. A patient logs onto the system, enters information which is transmitted to a medical professional who makes determinations related to treatment and whether or not to meet with the client in person based at least in part on the information entered.
