| 20080232564 | Call hunt and ringback on the phone through messenger - Techniques that enable a user to make VOIP phone calls using a traditional telephone by directing a communications module to connect the caller to another user are provided. The caller first dials a DID and identifies a receiver to be reached. Once the caller has identified the receiver, the caller may hang up the phone and wait until the communications module contacts the caller once the receiver has been connected. The communication module hunts the receiver using the receiver's multiple contact information by calling each of the receiver's contact numbers. Once the receiver answers one of the calls, the communications module detects that the receiver has been connected and then contacts the caller. Finally, once the caller answers the telephone, the caller and the receiver are connected and a communication may commence. | 09-25-2008 |

| 20090154672 | PATH SETTING METHOD OF INTEGRATED SWITCH FOR SIMULTANEOUSLY PROVIDING REAL-TIME MOBILITY OF IP ADDRESS AND TELEPHONE NUMBER - Provided is a path setting method of an integrated switch for simultaneously providing real-time mobility of an IP address and a telephone number. The path setting method of an integrated switch constructs an information pair of the telephone number and the IP address and transmits a voice call and a data packet using a home agent (HA) and a foreign agent (FA) for providing mobility in a mobile network easily and rapidly when a telephone terminal and an IP data terminal are moved. According to the path setting method of an integrated switch, the telephone terminal and the IP data terminal can use original addresses thereof when the telephone terminal and the IP data terminal are moved to a network area having a number system different from that of the network area to which the telephone terminal and the IP data terminal originally belong. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090161843 | DELAYED MULTIMEDIA SESSION - Described are a system and method for multimedia communications over a communication network between a calling party and a called party. A request to establish a SIP (session initiation protocol) session with the called party is received from a SIP-enabled communication device of the calling party. In response to the request, a voice connection is established between the SIP-enabled communication device of the calling party and a communication device used by the called party. Without terminating the voice connection between the SIP-enabled communication device of the calling party and the communication device of the called party, a second connection for transferring media other than voice is established between the SIP-enabled communication device of the calling party and a computing device used by the called party. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20090268887 | SYSTEM AND METHOD TO HANDLE PHONE LINE SERVICES DURING MODEM DIAL-UP CONNECTION - A method and system provides for notification of a called party of an incoming voice phone call intended for the called party even while the called party is engaged in data communications via a dial-up modem. In response to a calling party placing a call, a telecommunications network determining whether the called number is busy. If the called number is busy, the telecommunications network determines whether the called number is engaged in data communications. If the called number is engaged in data communications, the telecommunications network further: determines a data communication protocol being used by the called party to access the data network via a modem device, retrieves from a user profile of the called party one or more user notification addresses associated with the data communication protocol, and transmits an incoming call notification message to the one or more user notification addresses of the called party. A reporting notification message is further transmitted by the telecommunications network to the calling party to let the calling party know that the called party has been notified of the incoming call. | 10-29-2009 |
| 20090304163 | CALL PROCESSING DEVICE AND METHOD - A call processing device communicating with a plurality of line cards includes a mapping table and an address table. The call processing device receives a telephone number, searches the mapping table for one index related to the received telephone number, searches the address table for one address corresponding to the sought index, rejects a call corresponding to the received telephone number if the sought address is a specially preset address, and updates one or more of the addresses of the line cards in the address table if operating modes of one or more of the line cards are changed. A call processing method is also provided. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20100067671 | Obtaining from a Network Media Related to an Incoming Call based on Records of a Data Relay Device - A data relay device comprises a modem, an adaptor, and a base station. The base station is configured to determine whether an incoming call has a corresponding record among one or more records of the data relay device, obtain media by using the corresponding record, and transmit the media to a customer premise equipment device. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20110206193 | INTELLIGENT ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS - Establishing a telephone call includes enabling display of a visual indicator of a call destination entity and detecting selection by a user of the visual indicator. The availability of the user to receive a first telephone call is determined. Voice communications between the call destination entity and the user are established in response to detection of the selection by the user of the visual indicator and conditioned on the user being determined to be available to receive the first telephone call. Establishing voice communications includes enabling placement of the first telephone call to the user to establish a first PSTN link with the user and enabling a voice communications link to be setup with the call destination entity. | 08-25-2011 |
| 20120027187 | TELECOMMUNCIATIONS FILTER DEVICE - Embodiments relate to a filtering device that filters a telecommunications signal and outputs to a telephone and a data port depending on whether a data plug has been inserted into the data port. A micro switch at the data port is activated and brings filtering components in-line when a data plug is inserted, and the filtering components filter the combined telecommunications signal and outputs filtered telephony only signals to the telephone port, and data only signals to the data port. When no data plug is present in the data port, the micro switch is not activated, and the filter is bypassed, thereby presenting unfiltered telephone and data signals to the telephone port as well as any extension sockets connected thereto, but no signals to the data port. | 02-02-2012 |
