Abstract:
In order to achieve secure provision of appropriate information according to the status of a plurality of terminal apparatuses, a status detecting section detects the status of a cellular mobile phone, and the like, and a communication destination apparatus determining section selects a terminal apparatus with which communication can be established and at which received information can be presented according to the priority for transmission of the provided information. A content DB retrieves information to be provided. A server communication section transmits retrieved provided information to the selected terminal apparatus. With such a structure, the provided information is presented at another terminal apparatus when a terminal apparatus having a high priority is impossible to establish communication or is unsuitable for presentation of the provided information. Thus, provision of information is securely achieved.
Abstract:
Method of confirming the establishment of a voice connection, such as a VoIP connection, between first and second end stations coupled to a packet switched communications network. The voice connection is used to transfer an audible request from the first end station to the second end station, to ask the user of the second end station to generate a predetermined vocal response. The first end station compares any response from the second end station to the predetermined vocal response. The connection is determined to be established in response to a successful comparison. The predetermined vocal response includes a predetermined speech sequence comprising characters, a word or words, and a speech recognition procedure is applied to the received response to determine the presence of any speech sequence for comparison with the predetermined sequence. If a fault is detected an alternative connection is established to execute a process to correct the fault.

Date Aug. 4, 1994A method implemented in a mobile telephone system in which each subscriber belonging to a group call group and wishing to speak requests a speech item through an interface to the mobile exchange. To avoid problems causes by concurrent requests for a speech transmission turn from two subscribers, the following steps are taken: upon detection of a request for a speech item from a subscriber, priority data specific to the request for a speech item and including a priority is generated, and the mobile exchange switches the speech signal transmitted by that subscriber whose request for a speech item has priority data of the highest priority, for the other subscribers to hear.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for communication by means of an electronic call assistant which is able to operate in at least either a background mode or in a foreground mode wherein
the electronic call assistant is arranged to arrange waiting tasks in a priority list in accordance with a priority sequence, and the foreground mode comprises at least a guiding mode which is entered by the electronic call assistant as soon as a user has switched the electronic call assistant from its background to its foreground mode and in which the electronic call assistant controls carrying out the waiting tasks in accordance with the priority sequence of the waiting tasks in the priority list.
Abstract:
A method and a mobile unit for allocating speech items to mobile units (RU1, RU2, RU3) communicating on a direct mode channel (DM). In the method, a transmission of a first mobile unit (RU1) is sent during the speech item of that mobile unit on the direct mode channel, a second mobile unit (RU2) takes the speaking turn, and the transmission of the second mobile unit (RU2) is sent during the speech item of the second mobile unit on the direct mode channel. In the method, mobile units (RU1, RU2, RU3) communicating on said direct mode channel are directed to operate in such a way that the first mobile unit (RU1) is given the priority to start a speech item or request a speaking turn after the termination of the speech item of the second mobile unit (RU2) before the other mobile units (RU3) communicating on the direct mode channel.

Abstract:
Methods and systems directed to retrieving voicemails from a voice mailbox server. In particular embodiments, a mailbox server may receive a notification from the voice mailbox server and connect to the voice mailbox server providing the credentials of a client device, and pull new voicemails for storage at the mailbox server. In particular embodiments, mailbox server periodically polls voice mailbox server for new voicemail messages. In particular embodiments, a client device polls or receives notification of new voicemails, and transmits a downloaded message to the mailbox server.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a method for processing a system call in a voice call. The method includes: participating, by a first terminal, a voice call with one or more second terminals, the voice call being performed in a non-system voice call application on the first terminal; monitoring, by the first terminal, a system call start event during the voice call; actively stopping, in response to the system call start event, use of an audio device of the first terminal; suspending participation of the first terminal in the voice call; sending, by the first terminal, a voice suspension request to a server to remind the one or more second terminals that the first terminal suspends the voice call; and recovering the voice call when the system call ends.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosure provide a mobile-specific intermediary replacement for the toll free service. This mobile intermediary entity or service can provide four primary call invocation types. Namely, calls can be invoked through a dialer of the mobile device, through a web interface accessed through the mobile device, through a mobile application executing on the mobile device, or through a personal assistant of similar service. The mobile intermediary entity or service can also provide rich, supplementary services for mobile callers. These services can include but are not limited to menu navigation, call continuity, caller geo-location awareness, and awareness of the caller's mobile network operator's identifier. Services natively provided by the called enterprise, such as call conferencing, can also be provided within the call.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for detecting a stale number. A stale number detection device obtains a call number, a call number contact creation date, and a call number issue date for the call number. The stale number detection device determines that a stale number state exists when the call number issue date is later than the call number contact creation date. The stale number detection device generates a stale number notification based on the stale number state.
