Filed:

Sep 29, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/893703

Inventors:

William Robbins - Sun Prairie WI, US
Judson Flynn - Decatur GA, US
Randolph Wohlert - Austin TX, US

Assignee:

AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P. - Atlanta GA

International Classification:

H04W 24/00

US Classification:

4554561, 4554562, 4554563, 4554565

Abstract:

The disclosed subject matter relates to an architecture that can facilitate and/or transmit notifications based upon device presence techniques in connection with a wireless communications network. For example, when certain mobile devices register with a particular network entity (e. g. , a femtocell) that services a particular target location (e. g. , place of residence), then such registration can be leveraged to indicate presence at the target location. Accordingly, notifications can be delivered to custodian devices that indicate the presence information if certain predetermined conditions or criteria are satisfied.
