Latest Patents

Lentz's latest patents include a method and system for secure handling of electronic business transactions on the internet. This invention discloses a computer-based technology for managing end-to-end business transactions in a TCP/IP environment. A managing instance enables logon and provides a pool of IP addresses available for allocation. The managing instance allocates an IP address from the pool and establishes a tunneling IP connection between the managing instance and a user's device. The user's IP address, along with any attributes relevant for accounting, authentication, and authorization (AAA), are stored during the session time. The correlation between a user's authentication name and an assigned IP address, as well as the bookkeeping of the validity of that correlation, is handled using a session context. Any identification process for a user or subscriber wishing to use services offered by an e-Service provider is conducted solely using the assigned IP address.

Another significant patent by Lentz is for emergency call localization for IP-based telephony. This method and system localizes the initial point of an Internet Protocol (IP)-based telephone call that is an emergency call. A Telephony Application Server (TAS)-Proxy receives the emergency call originating from a Voice-over-IP (VoIP) subscriber. An emergency call application transmits a request for emergency call data to a replication database to identify the initial point of the emergency call. The replication database determines the emergency call data from the IP address of the VoIP and transmits this data to the emergency call application. The TAS-Proxy routes the emergency call and sends an Emergency ID of the emergency call data to a local responsible Public Safety Answering Point, which can use a reference in the Emergency ID to locate the initial point of the emergency call.
