Abstract:
Technologies are generally described for providing an email assistant for sorting through emails received at an email application. The email assistant may prioritize emails and group high and low priority emails separately to enable a user to quickly view and manage an email inbox. The email assistant may also provide suggestions on how to sort and manage emails in the inbox of the email application. The email assistant may observe a user's pattern of interactions with types of emails, and prioritize emails and suggest actions based on the user's interactions. The email assistant may be configured to automatically sort emails and provide management suggestions based on a detected scenario such as a user's return after a period of time away, a large influx of emails, and presence detection.
Abstract:
The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates routing an incoming data communication in connection with unified communications. A unified communications component can employ unified communications for a data communication with an email data communication mode, a voice data communication mode, an instant messaging data communication mode, and a voicemail data communication mode. A distribution component can automatically route the data communication to an entity utilizing a distribution group, the distribution group includes at least one entity with a public switched telephone network (PSTN) number and a session initiation protocol (SIP) uniform resource identifier (URI).
Abstract:
A client-side signaling mechanism that allows a client to control how a telephone call is handled on a call server. The client user can create call routing rules on the client device using a client control component that manages session protocol messages. Once created, the call routing rule(s) created on the client are transmitted to the call server where a call routing component of the call server processes the rule(s) for a call related to the client. When the server receives the rule(s) and determines that the rule(s) are related to an existing call (incoming or currently in-process), the server halts current normal server rules processing for that call and executes the client-created rule(s). In one example, SIP session messages are employed for client control of server-side call forwarding.
Abstract:
The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates managing an incoming data communication in connection with unified communications. A unified communications component can employ unified communications for a data communication with at least the following data communication modes: an email data communication mode, a voice data communication mode, and a voicemail data communication mode. A unified rules component can automatically redirect the data communication to a delegate for receipt based upon a universal rule, the universal rule is uniformly applicable to at least two of the email data communication mode, the voice data communication mode, or the voicemail data communication mode.
Abstract:
Consultation architecture that allows a call assistant to use modes of consultation with the call recipient other than voice calls or vocal contact. The receptionist can place the incoming call (or message) on hold and send an instant message (IM) to the call recipient that informs the recipient about the call and/or who is calling. The recipient can then acknowledge and respond via the IM or another mode, and agree to accept the call, refuse the call, or request the call be routed to another destination, for example. Other non-voice consultation modes include paging technology by sending a short page to the call recipient, sending an SMS (short message service) or MMS (multimedia messaging service) message to the call recipient, and/or sending an e-mail message to the call recipient that provides information about the call and/or the caller.
Abstract:
A global recently used files list identifies files recently accessed by a user through one or more network services and files accessed by the user that are stored locally on a computing device. In order to generate the global recently used files list, a network recently used files list is retrieved that identifies files that were recently accessed through the one or more network services. Applications may update the network recently used files list each time a user accesses files by way of a network service. The network recently used files list may then be merged with a local recently used files list that identifies recently accessed locally stored files in order to generate the global recently used files list. Applications may update the local recently used files list each time files are accessed that are stored locally on a computing device.
Abstract:
Independent telephony systems are integrated by using symmetric forking from both systems. Calls received by either system are forked to the other system. Thus, a call can be accepted by one of the systems, using its external interfaces, and presented to all devices in both systems. Each system is enabled to leverage internal call control advanced features to enhance overall user experience. Internally inserted parameters to call requests are used between the two systems for preventing endless loop of calls between the integrated systems.
Abstract:
Conversation rights for multi-modal communications are managed and enforced in an enhanced communication system. Through physical and/or software components, rights are assigned to a communication session and related components upon user request. Permitted participants of the session are provided access tools such as decryption keys. Restrictions based on the assigned conversation rights are extended to preserved recordings and associated documents of the communication session.
Abstract:
Techniques for transfer error recovery are described. A system may comprise a context generator module operative to record context information for a first call session between a first call terminal and a call system resource, and store the context information with a context identifier in a context table. The system may include a transfer error context module to couple to the context generator module, the transfer error context module operative to generate transfer error context information having the context identifier. The system may include a call transfer module to couple to the transfer error context module, the call transfer module operative to send the transfer error context information to the first call terminal for use in case of a transfer failure event. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Abstract:
The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates authenticating a data communication. An interface component can receive data related to a real time data communication between two or more clients. A verification component can employ a human interaction proof (HIP) to a client participating within the real time data communication, wherein a human identity of the client is authenticated as a function of a response to the HIP.
