Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for detecting and solving feature interactions during a call. SOLUTION: A technique includes a step of determining whether a first feature for a first leg of a call and a second feature for a second leg of the call interact, a step of propagating feature state information for at least one of the legs of the call along the signaling path of the call, and a step of mapping a first address identifier of a packet header of a first type to a second address identifier of a packet header of a second type during the call.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide techniques for detecting and resolving feature interactions during calls, wherein in particular, a finite-state machine and a corresponding method detect when a feature that is invoked during a call would interact with another previously-activated feature, and ensure that both features are not active simultaneously. SOLUTION: Three different techniques for resolution are disclosed. In one technique, activation of the latter feature is always refused. In a second technique, the former feature is always deactivated and the latter feature is then activated. In a third technique, one of the two features is selected to be the active feature based on priorities assigned to the features, and the features are activated and/or deactivated accordingly.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technique for detecting and solve feature interactions during a call. SOLUTION: The technique is provided for detecting feature interactions in multi-party calls (i.e., calls involving more than two endpoints), and in calls with bridged appearances. In accordance with the embodiment, a set (group) of rules is applied to the specifications of two features in order to detect interactions (conflicts) between the plurality of features. Only when it is determined that the first feature and second feature do not interact, the first feature and second feature are both activated. When it is determined that the first feature and second feature interact, only one of the first feature and second feature is activated. COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide methods and apparatus for reducing wireless telecommunication costs for enterprises or oganizations having a plurality of PBXs connected by a public/private network. SOLUTION: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for reducing wireless telecommunication costs for enterprises having a plurality of PBX-equipped sites, connected by either a public network (e.g., the PSTN, the Internet, etc.), a private networks (e.g., the leased line, the virtual private network over the Internet, etc). In particular, the illustrative embodiments of the present invention attempt to reduce telecommunication costs by advantageously routing calls from an off-premises wireless terminal (e.g., a cellular phone) belonging to the enterprise to the destination via one or more of the enterprise's private branch exchanges. The present invention is especially advantageous in that it can reduce telecommunication costs for calls from an off-premise wireless terminal to any type of destination( a cellular phone, a wireline terminal, a private branch exchange, etc).

Abstract:
It would be beneficial to allow one or more of information, applications, desktops, and in general any information to be shared between a computer and a communications device. For example, it would be useful to be able to move a presentation from a computer to a mobile communications device. Some solutions attempt to address this by requiring a user to load the information on a laptop, USB key, burn it to an optical disk or the like, and then "open" the information on another device located at the remote destination. In one embodiment, through the use of one or more of virtualization and content translation, any information and/or applications can be exchanged between a computer and a communications device. More specifically, one embodiment utilizes metadata in conjunction with a virtualization environment to allow the exchange of information and/or applications between a personal computer and a communications device, or vice versa.
Abstract:
A method is provided for detecting interactions between call-related and web- enabled features. In some embodiments, communication application components are configured to transmit an indication to a feature interaction detector every time a feature is invoked by the user. When the interaction detector receives an indication that a feature is being invoked, it compares the invoked feature against features that have previously been invoked (or executed) and determines whether the invoked feature interacts with any of the features that have been previously executed.

Abstract:
Es werden hierin Systeme, Verfahren und nichtflüchtige rechnerlesbare Speichermedien zum Kommunizieren über einen Mehrmodell-Zusammenarbeitsraum offenbart. Ein System, welches das Verfahren in die Praxis umsetzt, weist zuerst einem Mehrmodell-Zusammenarbeitsraum, der wenigstens eine Instanz hat, eine Kommunikationsendpunkt-Kennung zu. Die Endpunktkennung kann zum Beispiel eine Telefonnummer, eine E-Mail-Adresse, eine IP-Adresse oder ein Benutzername sein. Das System empfängt eine ankommende Kommunikation, die an die Kommunikationsendpunkt-Kennung adressiert ist, wie beispielsweise einen Telefonanruf oder eine E-Mail, und leitet die ankommende Kommunikation an wenigstens eine Instanz in dem Mehrmodell-Zusammenarbeitsraum weiter. In einem Aspekt stellt der Mehrmodell-Zusammenarbeitsraum einen gemeinsam genutzten beständigen Behälter bereit, in dem Instanzen Zusammenarbeitsaktivitäten durchführen können. Die Instanzen können eindeutige Identitäten haben. Die Instanzen können Menschen und/oder automatisierte, nicht-menschliche, systemeigene Instanzen sein. Die Instanzen können ihre kontextspezifische Ansicht des Mehrmodell-Zusammenarbeitsraums mit anderen Instanzen gemeinsam nutzen. Ein solcher Mehrmodell-Zusammenarbeitsraum kann in einer Unternehmensumgebung verwendet werden.
Abstract:
A method is employed in association with a communication session over a peer-to-peer network between a first node associated with a first session participant and a second node associated with a second session participant. In the method, identification information identifying the second session participant is received. Profile information descriptive of the second session participant is gathered using the identification information. The communication session is conducted using the profile information descriptive of the second session participant.
Abstract:
Es wird ein Verfahren für die Registrierung eines Kommunikationsendgeräts angegeben. Bei manchen Ausführungsformen der vorliegenden Erfindung wird ein Kommunikationsendgerät bei einer Basisstation registriert, und zwar durch Suchen und Ausführen eines virtuellen Geräts, das die Basisstations-Software, bei der das Kommunikationsendgerät vorangemeldet ist, enthält,. Bei manchen Ausführungsformen der vorliegenden Erfindung wird ein Kommunikationsendgerät als Endpunktgerät für einen Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) eines Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) registriert, wenn sich das Kommunikationsendgerät bei der Basisstation registriert.
