| 20100135280 | TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS MANAGEMENT APPARATUS - The migration of telephone services by a telecommunications carrier from a PSTN to an IP network entails that problem that when it is not possible for some telephone subscribers to migrate to the IP network due to the types of their telephone lines or services they subscribe to, other subscribers also cannot migrate to the IP network until the former subscribers migrate to the IP network. | 2010-06-03 |
| 20100135281 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SENDING UPDATES TO A CALL CONTROL ELEMENT FROM AN APPLICATION SERVER - A method and apparatus for enabling Application Servers to automatically update the databases used by Call Control Elements as changes occur between customer data, such as customer specific logic, and the Application Servers, such as the IP addresses of the Application Servers are disclosed. Whenever there is a change in the location of customer specific data needed by the CCEs, e.g., switching from one AS to a new AS, the new AS will automatically update the relevant database in the CCEs to indicate such an update has occurred. After the automatic update is performed, the CCEs will be able to communicate with the correct AS to retrieve and process the customer specific service logic. | 2010-06-03 |
| 20100135282 | Implementation Method, System and Device of IMS Interception - The embodiment of the present invention discloses an implementation method of IMS interception, a system and a device thereof. The method includes allocating media anchor points to communication parties; and copying communication content to complete interception of the communication content when the communication parties communicate through the media anchor points. In the present invention, the interception of the communication content can be implemented on the media anchor points instead of the existing media access equipment, thus implementing centralized interception of a media on an IMS network, and ensuring that users accessing the IMS network in various modes can implement the centralized interception of the media on an IMS core without requirement for access side equipment or an extended private interface between the IMS core and the access side equipment. | 2010-06-03 |
| 20100135283 | Voice-Over-IP Enabled Chat - A network-based system and method for providing anonymous voice communications using the telephone network and data communications links under the direction of a Call Broker and associated network elements. A user (the call initiator) present in a text chat room session establishes a data connection to Call Broker and, after qualifying for access (e.g., using credit card information) and providing a callback number, receives voice session information and participant access codes for each desired participant in a voice call. The initiator causes session information and participant codes to be passed to one or more selected chat participants in the current text chat room. When a selected participant uses the received session information, and enters the received participant code and a callback number, the Call Broker in cooperation with a Network Adjunct Processor (NAP) completes voice links to the initiator and the selected participant(s). The need for each party to have a second subscriber line is advantageously avoided by having the Call Broker arrange to have one or more voice links completed through a VoIP link, and further reduces the need for second lines for participants by forwarding a Call Broker—placed call to a busy participant line to the participant's Internet Service Provider (ISP), which then sends a message to the participant announcing one or more options for receiving the incoming call, including receiving the incoming call through a VoIP link. | 2010-06-03 |
| 20100135284 | Method and system for routing calls from a standard telephone device to a voice over Internet Protocol network - The invention enables accessing and using a Voice over Internet Protocol network, and can use a standard telephone to automatically access a VoIP network. A first aspect of the invention uses an auto dialer to transmit digits, such as a network access number, an account number and a PIN, which remain unchanged from call to call made through a given network service provider. A second aspect of the invention provides a speed dial feature for placing VoIP telephone calls. Speed dial numbers are recorded in a VoIP service provider's database on a server, which is accessible through the Internet from a personal computer (PC) or a conventional telephone. A third aspect of the invention enables callers to complete calls from conventional telephones to personal computers connected to the Internet. The VoIP network detects a flag such as leading “0,” determines that the call recipient station is a personal computer, looks up the IP address of the PC and routes the call to the PC. | 2010-06-03 |
