Systems And Methods For Providing Non-Dedicated Wireless Backup Service For Monitored Security Systems
view source
US Patent:

7085551, Aug 1, 2006
Filed:

Oct 13, 2003
Appl. No.:

10/684876
Inventors:

Thomas Wayne Bonner - Smyrna GA, US
Russell Baggett - Cumming GA, US
Assignee:

Cingular Wireless II, LLC - Atlanta GA
International Classification:

H04M 11/04
US Classification:

4554041, 455 412, 4554042, 455445, 455464, 4555561, 379 39, 379 45
Abstract:

An intelligent interface provides a non-dedicated wireless communications path for reporting alarm events from a landline-based alarm system to a remote monitoring system. The intelligent interface includes a cradle for a cellular handset or other wireless device, and a network connector (such as an RJ31X jack) between an alarm system control panel and the PSTN. When a wireless device is present in the cradle, the intelligent interface bypasses the landline and routes all security calls from the alarm system control panel through an analog-to-digital digital signal processor and to the wireless device, which places a call to the remote monitoring center. When no wireless device is present, the intelligent interface allows the alarm system control panel to seize the landline to place the security call.

US Patent:

7451234, Nov 11, 2008
Filed:

May 24, 2004
Appl. No.:

10/852376
Inventors:

Thomas W. Bonner - Smyrna GA, US
Assignee:

AT&T Mobility II LLC - Atlanta GA
International Classification:

G06F 15/16
G06F 15/173
US Classification:

709245, 709220, 709221, 709223
Abstract:

A DDNS server maintains a dynamic database of host names and IP addresses of remote devices connected to a telecommunications network. Devices on the telecommunications network query the DDNS server for the IP addresses of the remote devices. As the IP addresses change, a DDNS client captures the new IP address and transmits the changes to the DDNS server where the IP address of the remote device is updated.

US Patent:

7499704, Mar 3, 2009
Filed:

Oct 21, 2005
Appl. No.:

11/256130
Inventors:

Thomas W. Bonner - Smyrna GA, US
Assignee:

Cingular Wireless II, LLC - Atlanta GA
International Classification:

H04Q 7/20
US Classification:

4554351, 455415, 37914616
Abstract:

A system that automatically delivers telephony network services from a dual mode service technology platform to an external entity. The system includes a sensing component that detects the presence of a mobile handset registered on a cellular network, and registers the mobile handset with a wireless access network. Further, a provisioning component identifies calls to subscribers that are provisioned for the requested telephony network service. Once the calls are identified, the provisioning component extracts the requested data from the incoming calls and routes the data to an external entity for display.

Systems And Methods For Providing Non-Dedicated Wireless Backup Service For Monitored Security Systems Via Bluetooth

US Patent:

7542721, Jun 2, 2009
Filed:

Aug 7, 2004
Appl. No.:

10/913963
Inventors:

Thomas Wayne Bonner - Smyrna GA, US
Russell Baggett - Cumming GA, US
Assignee:

AT&T Mobility II LLC - Atlanta GA
International Classification:

H04B 7/00
US Classification:

455 412, 4554041, 4554042, 455464, 455445, 4555561, 379 39, 379 45, 3405391, 3406866
Abstract:

An interface provides a non-dedicated wireless communications path for reporting alarm events from a landline-based alarm system to a remote monitoring system via BLUETOOTH. The interface includes a BLUETOOTH receiver that communicates with a cellular handset, or other wireless device that has a BLUETOOTH transmitter, and a network connector (such as RJ31X jack) between an alarm control panel and the PSTN. When a wireless device is within range of the interface, the interface bypasses the landline and routes all security calls from the alarm control panel through an analog-to-digital signal processor and to the wireless device via BLUETOOTH, which places a call to the remote monitoring center.

Systems For Providing Wireless Account Feature Notifications To Mobile Communication Devices

US Patent:

7606554, Oct 20, 2009
Filed:

Jun 29, 2006
Appl. No.:

11/427464
Inventors:

Thomas W. Bonner - Smyrna GA, US
Ted Stine - Suwanee GA, US
Assignee:

AT&T Mobility II LLC - Atlanta GA
International Classification:

H04M 11/00
US Classification:

455403, 455407, 4554121, 4554122, 4554141, 455425
Abstract:

Systems and methods for providing wireless account calling feature indications to a display of a mobile device associated with the account are described. Feature indications can be provided to inform a user of the mobile device that an incoming call or outgoing call is eligible for an account calling feature based on whether the conditions for the calling feature to apply are currently met.

Voice Call Redirection For Enterprise Hosted Dual Mode Service
view source
US Patent:

7664495, Feb 16, 2010
Filed:

Dec 5, 2005
Appl. No.:

11/295179
Inventors:

Thomas Wayne Bonner - Smyrna GA, US
Nhan Thanh Tran - Lawrenceville GA, US
Mark Enzmann - Roswell GA, US
Simon Richardson - Alpharetta GA, US
Assignee:

AT&T Mobility II LLC - Atlanta GA
International Classification:

H04L 12/28
US Classification:

455433, 455445, 370338, 370352
Abstract:

Systems and methods provide a single E. 164 number for voice and data call redirection and telephony services such as caller identification, regardless of in which type of network a dual mode mobile device operates. When the dual mode device registers and is active in a GSM network, temporary routing and status updates are triggered and resultant information is maintained in both networks. A mobile terminated call is routed through an enterprise WLAN with call control within the enterprise being handled by SIP or H. 323 signaling, and the call is redirected to the mobile device in the GSM network, where call control is assumed by the SS7 network. Services are provided using the protocols native to the active network, and the single E. 164 is used consistently along with or lieu of the temporary routing information for subscriber identity specific functions, such as caller identification and voice mail.

Dynamic Dual-Mode Service Access Control, Location-Based Billing, And E911 Mechanisms

US Patent:

7864673, Jan 4, 2011
Filed:

Jun 23, 2005
Appl. No.:

11/159606
Inventors:

Thomas W. Bonner - Smyrna GA, US
Assignee:

AT&T Mobility II LLC - Atlanta GA
International Classification:

H04B 7/00
H04J 1/16
H04L 12/28
US Classification:

370230, 370310, 370392
Abstract:

Architecture that facilitates the validation and authentication of the physical location of the dual-mode handset in a VoWLAN solution (e. g. , UMA (Unlicensed Mobile Access)) system and a cellular wireless service, thereby restricting the handset from gaining access from unauthorized locations. Thus, access to dual-mode service (e. g. , UMA), for example, at a particular location (e. g. , in a subscriber's home, or in a hot spot that is controlled by carrier) can now be managed to allow or deny service at a certain location. Another aspect of the invention is the capability to perform location-based billing. For example, if the subscriber is at home, the call may be free. Alternatively, if the subscriber is at a remote location (e. g. , a retail establishment), it is now possible to charge for that connection at a different fee. Additionally, a location can now be assigned; for example, to assign a location for E911 compliance.

Intermediary Query Manager For 2G And 3G Services
view source
US Patent:

7920529, Apr 5, 2011
Filed:

Jul 13, 2005
Appl. No.:

11/180135
Inventors:

Roger Mahler - Marietta GA, US
Judith C. Espejo - Snellville GA, US
Nhan Tran - Lawrenceville GA, US
Lanny Gilbert - Atlanta GA, US
Thomas W. Bonner - Smyrna GA, US
Assignee:

AT&T Mobility II LLC - Atlanta GA
International Classification:

H04W 4/00
US Classification:

370338, 4554322
Abstract:

An intermediary system that seamlessly evolves the 2G/2. 5G storage mediums to the 3G entities (e. g. , a logical HSS) and provides subscriber data to 3G services such as IMS, from legacy data sources. An Intermediary Query Manager (IQM) is provided that functions as intermediary/broker system, and supports defined standard 3GPP interfaces specific to the IMS system (utilizing the existing storage medium servicing the PS domain) and also allows the continued support of the 2G/2. 5G interfaces to 2G HLRs (servicing the CS domain). The IQM provides the capability to leverage usage of the current subscriber databases without requiring extraordinary efforts to migrate subscriber information to a new dedicated HSS element. The IQM provides data from multiple sources and processes requests necessary to fulfill these requests. The IQM can look like a MSC (Mobile Switching Center), VLR (Visitor Location Register), and/or SCP (Service Control Point) to the HLRs depending on the type of queries.
