20080200165 | Mobile communication device employment of cellular service and personal radio service - A mobile communication device of an apparatus in one example is configured for communication through employment of a cellular service and a personal radio service. | 08-21-2008 |
20080268830 | Proximity detection of coverage area boundary and display of mobile station location relative thereto - A method is provided for producing a user perceivable warning output by a mobile station ( | 10-30-2008 |
20100304710 | FAULT-RESILIENT METHOD OF GENERATING COMPLETE CORRELATED IMS CHARGING DATA RECORDS - An IMS charging collection function node for processing incoming accounting requests (ACRs) is provided. The node includes an ACR database that stores ACR messages, an Incomplete database that stores any ACR [Interim] or [Stop] received by the charging collection function node when a corresponding ACR [Start] is not stored in the ACR database, or also ACR[Start] when the remaining accounting requests, consisting of ACR [Interim] or [Stop] are not available with the charging collection function, a disk that stores ACRs; a first transformation engine that aggregates CDRs, a CDR aggregation database that stores aggregated CDRs, a second transformation engine that correlates CDRs, a CDR correlation database that stores correlated CDRs, and a third evaluation engine that cyclically evaluates the Incomplete database, wherein the IMS charging collection function node is communicatively and collaboratively coupled with other IMS charging collection function nodes across the IMS network to eliminate or reduce production of incomplete CDRs. | 12-02-2010 |
20110057789 | NETWORK-BASED IDENTIFICATION OF UNINSURED VEHICLES - Systems and methods are disclosed that detect uninsured vehicles. An insurance monitoring system described herein receives a message over a mobile network from a mobile device embedded in a vehicle, where the message from the mobile device includes a vehicle identification for the vehicle. The insurance monitoring system queries an insurance database based on the vehicle identification to determine whether the vehicle is uninsured. If the vehicle is uninsured, then the insurance monitoring system sends a notification message to a law enforcement entity. | 03-10-2011 |
20110059754 | MONITORING SPEED OF A VEHICLE USING A MOBILE NETWORK - Systems and methods are disclosed that monitor the speed that a mobile device is traveling, such as when the user of the mobile device is driving or riding in a vehicle. A speed monitoring system described herein receives a request from a third party to monitor a speed of a mobile device. The system periodically queries a mobile network for a location of the mobile device over a time period, and receives responses from the mobile network indicating locations of the mobile device. The system then determines a speed of the mobile device based on the locations indicated during the time period, and may determine the speed limit the roadway the mobile device is traveling on. The system then sends a notification message to the third party that includes an indication of the speed of the mobile device and possibly the speed limit. | 03-10-2011 |
20110077058 | OFFLINE CHARGING IN IMS NETWORKS FOR SESSIONS HANDED OVER BETWEEN DIFFERENT OPERATOR NETWORKS - IMS networks and methods are disclosed for providing offline charging for a session of an IMS device that is seamlessly handed over between a home IMS network and a visited IMS network that are different operator networks. A roaming charging identifier (RCID) is assigned to the session in the home IMS network that is global to a dialog of the session over the home IMS network and to a dialog of the session over the visited IMS network. Network elements in the home IMS network insert the RCID in offline charging requests that are sent to an offline charging system. The offline charging system generates CDRs for the session that also include the RCID. The offline charging system can then aggregate and correlate the CDRs for the session based on the RCID. | 03-31-2011 |
20120011536 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING ACCESS TO A SUBSCRIPTION BROADCAST CHANNEL ON DEMAND VIA A COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK - A request to provide access to a specified subscription broadcast channel during a specified period is received from a subscriber device. A first instruction to allow the subscriber device to access the specified subscription broadcast channel is transmitted to a second device, prior to the specified period. A second instruction to restrict access by the subscriber device to the specified subscription broadcast channel is transmitted to the second device, substantially at the end of the specified period. | 01-12-2012 |
20120023533 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DELIVERY OF INTERNET PROTOCOL TELEVISION SERVICE - A method and apparatus for delivery of internet protocol television (IPTV) service are provided. The method may include receiving an IPTV unicast video stream of a select video content from an IPTV server associated with a third party IPTV service provider at a proxy server within a core network associated with an internet access provider, converting the select video content from the IPTV unicast video stream to an IPTV multicast video stream at the proxy server, and sending the IPTV multicast video stream of the select video content from the proxy server to each of multiple subscribers of the third party IPTV service provider at a respective subscriber device associated with the corresponding multiple subscriber via the core network using a multicast IP addressing scheme. The apparatus may include a proxy server with a third party IPTV interface module, a conversion module, and a subscriber interface module. | 01-26-2012 |
