Abstract: Method and apparatus for automated inventory tracking and authentication using device identity-containing information associated with at least one device that is part of an inventory. The method includes accepting initial device identity-containing information from an inventory origination point to a first sales distribution point and accepting additional device identity-containing inventory from each instance of a new and successive sales distribution point as inventory moves through a supply chain. This information is stored and then later compared to a device ID of the at least one device. An authentication action is performed upon the at least one device based upon said accepted initial and additional information. The device identity-containing information includes MAC address information, device serial number information.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for providing and using a telephone calling card are described. In one example, a planar body incudes a memory system, a dual-to ne multi-frequency (DTMF) generator, and a speaker. The memory system is con figured to store identification data for allowing a user to place a telephon e call. The DTMF generator is coupled to the memory system and is configured to generate password-protected DTMF tones to convey the identification data . The speaker is coupled to the DTMF generator and is configured to emit the DTMF tones. The DTMF tones may be played into a telephone for making a call using the telephone calling card apparatus. Since the identification data i s played into the telephone and password-protected, rather than being manual ly entered by the user, the identification data is less susceptible to unaut horized disclosure and thus less susceptible to fraudulent use.

Abstract: Apparatus and system for multi-stage media communications includes a hand held wireless means for transmitting and receiving multi-media communication s and a base station means for relaying the multi-media communications to a multi-media communications service provider. The handheld wireless means is repeatably configurable to any one of a plurality of users associated with t he system. The communications service provider includes a proxy server for r eceiving and directing communications requests and a plurality of communicat ions servers each providing access to a different form of media/communicatio ns. The base station means has one or more connection means to third party c ommunication service providers that provides email services, web-browsing se rvice IM services and the like. As such, a localized environment can exploit wireless capabilities for a variety of users having a variety of default pr eferences without incurring extra charges for multiple phone lines or assign ing dedicated devices to each user.

Abstract: A system for effecting a telephone call between telephonic devices is operative to use a computer network, without manual use of the alphanumeric keypads. A third party call control (3PCC) application program interface (API) provides the capability for users to use a web browser or other Internet capable software to place a call, rather than using the telephone keypad. A third party call control application program interface includes a uniform resource locator operable over the Internet to cause a call between a first telephonic device and a second telephonic device to be completed. The uniform resource locator includes identification of the first telephonic device and identification of the second telephonic device.
