Abstract:
Call forwarding profiles corresponding to call forwarding settings based on time, location, and/or presence states of a called party are created. Different call forwarding settings are then activated based on corresponding predefined call forwarding profiles. Users are enabled to pre-configure their call forwarding profiles based on one or more rules.
Abstract:
A mechanism is provided for enabling subscribers of an enhanced communication system to switch endpoints during a conversation, add or remove modalities, invite new participants while continuing the conversation seamlessly. Active endpoints associated with a participant in a conversation may publish their states to a managing server and become aware of a status of the ongoing conversation. Subsequently, the participants may seamlessly switch to another endpoint and continue the conversation using the other endpoint.

Abstract:
An auxiliary call control component is coupled to a computing system alerts the computing system of an incoming call in instances where the computing system is not capable of processing the incoming call. When the auxiliary call control component receives an incoming call, the auxiliary call control component determines whether the coupled computing system is in a proper state suitable for processing (e.g., “picking up”) the incoming call. If the computing system is not in the proper state, the auxiliary call control component accepts the incoming call, signals the computing system to enter the proper state, and informs the computing system of the incoming call. When placed in the proper state, the computing system may retrieve the incoming call to allow the user to receive to the incoming call at the computing system.

Abstract:
Un componente de control de llamada auxiliar se acopla a un sistema de cómputo que alerta al sistema de cómputo de una llamada entrante en casos en donde el sistema de cómputo no es capaz de procesar la llamada entrante. Cuando el componente de control de llamada auxiliar recibe una llamada entrante, el componente de control de llamada auxiliar determina si el sistema de cómputo acoplado está en un estado apropiado adecuado para procesamiento de (por ejemplo, "tomar") la llamada entrante. Si el sistema de cómputo no está en el estado apropiado, el componente de control de llamada auxiliar acepta la llamada entrante, señala al sistema de cómputo para ingresar al estado apropiado, e informa al sistema de cómputo de la llamada entrante. Cuando se coloca en el estado apropiado, el sistema de cómputo puede recuperar la llamada entrante para permitir al usuario recibir la llamada entrante en el sistema de cómputo.
Abstract:
A facility for integrating data in conversations is provided. In various embodiments, the facility sends a first message to a responding computing device to begin a conversation, receives a second message associated with the conversation from the responding computing device, determines whether the received message contains an indication of data that is to be associated with the conversation and, when the received message contains an indication of data that is to be associated with the conversation, renders the data. The facility can comprise an application server that receives from an initiator a first message associated with a conversation and responds to received messages, a conversation component that handles messages associated with the conversation, and an integration component that determines whether there is data that is to be associated with the conversation and, if so, adds an indication of the data to a second message that it sends to the initiator.
