Abstract:
A method for processing a communication between a first party and a second party is disclosed. A communication is received from the first party, the communication having first party information, and second party information. An entry in a database is identified that matches at least one of the first party information and the second party information and for which a predetermined rule is satisfied. A telephone number associated with the matching database entry is selected. The selected telephone number is transmitted to the second party.
Abstract:
A method and system of preventing SPAM over Internet telephony (SPIT) is provided, including the establishment of calling rate limits for VoIP callers, and SPIT ratings included with call initiation messages to warn the callee if the call is at high risk of being SPIT. The calling rate limits are adjustable based on the reputation of the caller and events which may occur that are indicative of SPIT. Furthermore, methods for parental control over call end-points are provided.
Abstract:
An apparatus for provisioning content in an intuitive-associative manner comprising: a data receiver, for receiving data identifying a transmission source from a user, a matcher, associated with the data receiver, for matching at least one relevant item transmitted in the source at a time frame of the receiving with at least one content item, and a provisioner, associated with the matcher, for provisioning selected content items of the content items to the user.
Abstract:
A telecommunication system (100) has capabilities for managing conference telephone calls. Cellular telephones (123) may be registered to the system (100) and may be used as contact devices in setting up conference telephone calls. When a cellular telephone (123) is participating in a conference telephone call and drops out because, e.g., of lost signal, the system (100) may automatically initiate a call back to re-connect the cellular telephone (123) to the conference telephone call
Abstract:
The invention discloses a method of audio switching, including: the operation of respectively extracting muting sign from the coding audio data which transmitted from the every terminal, and getting the non-muting terminals; the operation of respectively decoding the coding audio data of the every non-muting terminal; according to the decoded audio data of the every non-muting terminal, calculating the audio energy of the every non-muting terminal respectively; comparing the audio energy value among the non-muting terminals, and selecting the terminals with the higher audio energy ;linearly superposing the decoded audio data among the selected terminals in manner of different combination, and respectively transmitting the decoded audio data which was superposed linearly in manner of different combination to the corresponding terminals. In addition, the invention also discloses an apparatus of audio switching. The invention can decrease the resource consumption during the audio switching, and increase the audio communication effect among the terminals.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft die Abschaltung von Echokompensationen in Abhängigkeit der Nutzdatenübertragungszeit für ein Paketnetz. Bei Änderungen von Paketnetzverbindungen mit eingeschalteter Echokompensation, z.B. im Rahmen einer Umleitung oder Weiterleitung von Sprachverbindungen, wird die Nutzdatenübertragungszeit für die geänderte Paketnetzverbindung ermittelt. Bei Unterschreiten des Schwellenwertes durch die ermittelte Nutzdatenübertragungszeit wird die Abschaltung der Echokompensation veranlasst. Die Erfindung erlaubt, Echokompensatoren, die wegen einer reduzierten Nutzdatenübertragungszeit nicht mehr erforderlich sind, dynamisch auszuschalten.
Abstract:
A call detail record (CDR) compare tool compares CDRs by a switch or other system providing billable telephone services to subscribers with billing system records to identify potential billing errors. For example, switch-generated CDRs that cannot be matched to a billing system record may represent a billable transaction that no subscriber was billed for. The compare tool reads some or all of the billing system’s records and, in turn, tries to match a CDR generated by a billable service system to one of the billing system records. If no match is found, the CDR represents a possible billing problem. Counters are maintained to count a number of matching records, non-matching records and the total number of records processed.
Abstract:
In the figure, a queueing system in a call center (19) is adapted to queue voice mails as well as live telephone calls. In a preferred embodiment the calls include both connection-oriented switched telephony (COST) calls (13) and Data Network Telephony (DNT) calls (12). Callers are enabled to leave voice mails as an alternative to waiting, and records of the voice mails are queued, preferably in the same queue processing the live calls. In some embodiments the call center is enabled to process e-mails, video mails and facsimile messages as well as live calls and voice mail messages, and all types of multimedia communication can be queued in the same queue according to prestored routing rules and priority rules.
