| 20100127924 | ACCESSING NAVIGATION INFORMATION VIA A GLOBAL POSITIONING GROUP SUPPORT SERVER - A client device transmits a GNSS address to gain navigation information such as map data from a global positioning group support server. The global positioning group support server may provide navigation information of global positioning groups in the vicinity of the client device based on the received GNSS address. The GNSS address of the client device may be an inherent GNSS address or a GNSS address of a neighboring client device. Client devices are registered and divided into global positioning groups at a global positioning group support server based on corresponding GNSS addresses. A particular client device may be added or removed to or from a given global positioning group. Uni- and bi-directional association tracking within a determined time window is enabled based on corresponding GNSS addresses. Phantom GNSS moving is enabled via the association tracking. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20100128601 | CLIENT QoS BASED CONNECTION SESSION JOGGING - Aspects of a method and system for a client QoS based connection session jogging are provided. While receiving a service over a particular delivery route, a user of a user device is provided with the capability to request an alternate route to continue to deliver the service via a user interface operation. The user device generates a connection handover (HO) request and transmits the request to a network management (NM) server. The NM server determines the alternate route and continues the service over the determined alternate route. The NM server supports both unsolicited and solicited connection HO request. A connection session profile associated with the particular delivery route is updated based on the determined alternate route information. The service is continued over the alternate route with the updated connection session profile. A connection HO request indicates a desired QoS from the user of the user device for the received service. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20100131194 | MAP DATA MANAGEMENT USING ROAD GHOSTING CHARACTERISTICS - Aspects of a method and system for map data management using road ghosting characteristics are provided. A mobile device transmits a map request to a mapping service server for a map view. Upon the receipt of the map request from the mobile device, the mapping service server creates a ghost map based on road ghost characteristic information gathered from mobile devices associated with the mapping service server. The road ghost characteristic information is overlaid on geographical locations to identify ghost pathways and road supplemental information. The characteristics associated with the identified ghost pathways and road supplemental information is merged into metadata. The ghost map is generated by correlating the metadata with geographic locations of interests of said mobile device. The ghost map is delivered to the mobile and presented via the user interface to users of the mobile device, accordingly. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20100131586 | ACTIVITY OVERLAID MAPPING SERVICES - Aspects of a method and system for activity overlaid mapping services are provided. A subscriber transmits a map request to a mapping service server connected to a data communication network. Upon the receipt of the map request from the subscriber, the mapping service server create enhanced map based on subscriber activity information collected from a plurality of subscribers associated with the mapping service server. The enhanced map is generated by correlating the collected subscriber activity information of the plurality of subscribers to geographic locations of interest indicated by the map request. The created enhanced map is delivered to the subscriber device. Upon the receiving the enhanced map, the subscriber device presents location information associated with the received enhanced map to users via a user interface in a preferred format. A level of subscriber activity information sharing is determined by each subscriber. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20100242261 | COMBINED SATELLITE AND BROADBAND ACCESS ANTENNAS USING COMMON INFRASTRUCTURE - A method of installing multiple over-the-air antennas is disclosed. The method includes the steps of mounting a satellite antenna to a installation surface, such that the mounting allows the satellite antenna to be aimed at a satellite, attaching a broadband access antenna to one of the installation surface and a portion of the satellite antenna, such that the attaching allows the broadband access antenna to be aimed at a broadband access source, connecting first wiring from the broadband access antenna to a first downconverter and second wiring from the satellite antenna to a second downconverter, providing outputs of the first and second downconverters to a cable in communication with at least a satellite receiver and positioning, on at least a coarse scale, the satellite antenna and the broadband access antenna such that they are approximately pointed at the satellite and the broadband access source, respectively. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100248727 | COMMUNICATION SESSION SOFT HANDOVER - While receiving content for a service at a user device via a particular delivery route, detecting a request for delivery of subsequent content for the service via a secure alternate delivery route. The user device may concurrently receive delivery of the subsequent content via the particular delivery route and the secure alternate delivery route. The detected request may be generated based on QoS associated with the received content of the service. The detected request may be received from a communication network and may comprise identification information for the particular delivery route. The secure alternate delivery route may be determined based on the identification information for the particular delivery route. A communication session profile may be generated and/or determined based on the secure alternate delivery route. The communication session profile is utilized for the requested delivery of the further content via the secure alternate delivery route. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100250747 | ADAPTIVE MULTIPLE PATHWAY SESSION SETUP TO SUPPORT QoS SERVICES - A user device is operable to request setup of one or more serving routes to be utilized for delivering content to the user device. The user device is operable to receive the delivered content via the one or more serving routes and/or one or more auxiliary routes based on the request. The serving routes and the auxiliary routes are determined based on a provisioning profile for the user device. The provisioning profile comprises preferred service types, desired QoS for one or more services, client account information, and/or client billing and credit verification information. A connection or communication session is established dynamically based on demand, from the user device and/or a supporting network, for each of the determined one or more auxiliary routes. The user device is operable to receive the delivered content via the determined auxiliary routes in the established connection sessions. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20110216765 | MEDIA EXCHANGE NETWORK SUPPORTING MULTIPLE BROADBAND NETWORK AND SERVICE PROVIDER INFRASTRUCTURES - A method for communicating information includes establishing a logical communication path that is independent of a physical communication path that couples at least two end points via at least a first broadband network. At least a first portion of the logical communication path and at least a second portion of the logical communication path utilize different communication protocols. Both of the physical and logical communication paths are established through the same plurality of network nodes. Information that would be normally transferred over the physical communication path may be transferred between the at least two endpoints, via the established logical communication path over the corresponding redundant network connection. The established logical communication path may be provisioned for handling communication functions. The communication functions may include operations administration maintenance and provisioning (OAM&P), roaming, user authentication, media transfer, caching, storage management and/or addressing management. | 09-08-2011 |
