20100265850 | MULTIPURPOSE DUAL-NETWORK ROUTER - A multipurpose dual-network router includes a housing that houses a motherboard formed of a PC board carrying a set of electronic devices, a power module and an antenna module. The motherboard is connectable to the internet and PSTN, providing data group filtering, data group forwarding, call-waiting priority leveling, encryption, compression and firewall functions and having multiple ports for the connection of one or a number of same or different applicable products, each port having an ID set subject to TCP/IP for interlinking, function switching or dialing a call. When connected to the internet and PSTN, multiple main units are allowed for one-way direct call. Thus, one single module of the invention provides stronger function than a combination of conventional products. | 10-21-2010 |
20110134808 | Systems and Methods for Media Distribution - Systems and methods according to these exemplary embodiments provide for methods and systems for optimizing the distribution of media content for multiple end users over Internet protocol (IP) networks, such as the Internet. | 06-09-2011 |
20120014293 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF ESTABLISHING USER GROUPS IN AN INTERNET PROTOCOL ENVIRONMENT - A IP telephony service allows customers to form user groups. A user group is established by collecting a plurality of identifiers that are associated with members of a group, and associating the member identifiers with a group identifier. The member identifiers could be telephone numbers of telephony devices for each of the members, or device IDs of IP telephony devices for members of the group. The group identifier could be any type of identifier, and in some instances, the group identifier could be a telephone number. | 01-19-2012 |
20120014294 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TERMINATING COMMUNICATION REQUESTS IN AN INTERNET PROTOCOL ENVIRONMENT - A IP telephony service allows customers to form user groups. Each user group can include multiple members, each of whom have their own telephony device. A group identifier is assigned to each user group. When an incoming communication directed to the user group identifier is received by the service, the service obtains handling instructions for the user group that specify how the incoming communication is to be terminated to the members of the user group. The service then terminates the incoming communication to one or more members of the user group based on those handling instructions. | 01-19-2012 |
20120063367 | CROWD AND PROFILE BASED COMMUNICATION ADDRESSES - A system and method are disclosed for sending a message to a select subset of users in a select crowd of users. In one embodiment, a message to be delivered to a subset of users in a select crowd of users is received from a user device of a sending user. In response, one or more users in the crowd are selected as the subset of the users in the crowd to which the message is to be delivered. In one embodiment, the one or more users are selected based on a profile matching process. The message is then sent to the one or more users selected as the subset of the users in the crowd to which the message is to be delivered. Preferably, the message is sent to the one or more users anonymously such that the message does not identify the sending user. | 03-15-2012 |
20130039226 | METHOD OF INTERCEPTING VOIP COMMUNICATIONS | 02-14-2013 |
20130308500 | DELIVERY OF VISUAL VOICE MAIL - Delivery of a text message and/or voice mail message may include identifying a recipient of the message, receiving a notification indicative of one of the subscriber's availability, the subscriber's presence and the subscriber's location, recording the message, selectively converting a voice mail message to a text message based on the notification, and delivering either the text message or the voice mail message to a device of the recipient based on the notification. The text message and/or voice mail message may be delivered via a map, wherein selection of a location on the map may retrieve the text message and/or voice mail message. | 11-21-2013 |
20140126429 | System With Call Forward Profile - A method and system for providing call forwarding in an IP telephone network is disclosed. First, when a telephone number for a first telephone from a second telephone is dialed, the call is routing to a call manager. Call setup procedures with a BRG responsible for the first telephone are then initiated. The BRG then checks stored call forwarding profiles to determine whether there is an active call forwarding profile for the first telephone. The call is connected to the first telephone if an active call forwarding profile is not found. However, if an active call forwarding profile is found, the call forwarding information is sent to the call manager. The call is routed to at least a third telephone based on the call forwarding information. | 05-08-2014 |
20140133363 | CONTROL OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM - A telecommunications server ( | 05-15-2014 |
20140293839 | UNINTERRUPTABLE GROUP COMMUNICATION SESSIONS WITHIN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM - A call request message is sent from an access terminal to an application server in order to request initiation of a group communication session to a communication group and to request that an allocation of the floor to the given access terminal for the duration of the given group communication session remain uninterrupted by call targets of the session. The application server announces the session, and sends a floor-grant to the access terminal after the session is accepted by at least one target. The access terminal forwards media to the application server which is then forwarded to the at least one target. The floor is not transferred away from the access terminal during the session. For example, floor requests are suppressed at the at least one target, or floor requests are sent by the at least one target but are then ignored or denied by the application server. | 10-02-2014 |
20160094367 | MIGRATING MULTICAST FLOW - A first BEB device may receive a first LSP packet transmitted from each second BEB device. According to the received first LSP packet, the first BEB device may calculate multicast tunnel information of the service instance from the first BEB device to the second BEB device in the second B-VLAN. The first BEB device may update multicast tunnel information of the service instance in a data plane according to the multicast tunnel information of the service instance from the first BEB device to the second BEB device. | 03-31-2016 |
20160381093 | METHOD AND NODES FOR CONFIGURING A COMMUNICATION PATH FOR A MEDIA SERVICE - A network node is operated to configure a communication path for a media service. The communication path is configured in a cloud network that includes at least one media processing unit that handles media processing required by the media service. The node is located along the communication path and discovers at least one media processing unit by obtaining location information for the at least one media processing unit and configuring the communication path between end user communication devices of the media service by interconnecting. | 12-29-2016 |
20160381228 | VOICE OVER INTERNET INTEGRATION - An Internet telephony system (ITS) comprising an enclosure, an interface to a packet switched computer network; a communications processor, configured to implement a voice over Internet Protocol communication, to execute at least a client portion of a telephony control application supporting at least a coordinated delivery of data presented to the user through a user interface and a conversation using the voice over Internet Protocol communication; and to execute a web browser; and at least one manual control input. | 12-29-2016 |
