The system includes a plurality of instant messaging client applications (202, 207, 208, 209), an instant messaging server (204), and a teleconferencing server (210), all connected via a computer network (206). The teleconferencing server (210) enables n-way telephone connections via the telephone network (216). The n-way telephone connections are provided to telephone apparatus of at least some users of the instant messaging client applications who can visualize the teleconference via a graphical user interface (600) of the instant messaging client application.
Abstract:
A system and method for collaborative call management are disclosed. In one embodiment of a method incorporating teachings of the present disclosure, a graphical user interface (GUI) element may be presented in connection with a collaborative call. The GUI element may display a listing of call participants and a status of each participant. Example participant states may include an on-call state, an off-call state, a currently speaking state, a waiting to speak state, and a paused-call state. In operation, information presented in the GUI element may change in response to a status change of a call participant. The method may also involve recognizing that a caller has joined the collaborative call and updating the GUI element to add the joining caller to the list of participants.
Abstract:
A dialogue system and a speech dialogue operation method are provided. In the system, an inquiry speech signal is generated according to data for specific person and is transferred to a receiver. In response to the inquiry speech signal, a reply speech signal is generated by the receiver, and after the reply speech signal is recognized, a speech correspondence signal is obtained. A ID recognition procedure is performed according to the speech correspondence signal, and a dialogue control signal is generated according to the result of the ID recognition procedure, and accordingly, a response speech signal is generated and transferred to the receiver to continue or terminate the dialogue. When the receiver is recognized to be matched with the specific person, a message delivering procedure is performed to deliver a message to be transferred to the specific person to the receiver.
Abstract:
A system and method for managing voicemail locally through a set-top box. A call is received from a caller. The call is intercepted utilizing a set-top box. An indicator is displayed to a television in communication with the set-top box. The indicator being indicative of the message being recorded. One or more messages are visually represented to a user in response to the user selecting a channel of the set-top box, the channel being associated with voicemail. The one or more messages are managed in response to user input received through a re remote control in communication with the set-top box.
Abstract:
The invention provides a system and a method display incoming and outgoing call log data associated with telephone calls to and from a plurality of subscriber telephone numbers from one or more telephone networks. The system includes a switch in one network that receives a telephone call from the subscriber's telephone and launches a query in response to an AIN trigger to a service control point. In response, the service control point forwards associated call data to a call log gateway that translates the message into an asynchronous message containing call log data. The call log gateway forwards the asynchronous message to a unified communication platform where it is placed in subscriber mailbox and made available as a call log to a subscriber via a graphic user interface over the internet. A web server retrieves the call log and displays it to the subscriber at a web client.
Abstract:
Described are computer-based methods and apparatuses, including computer program products, for providing a user interface for guest communication and information delivery. The user interface is provided on a computing device located in, for example, a guest's hotel room. The computing device is part of a system that can include internal and external networks, webportals, e-mail modules, document modules, and information storage modules. The guest uses the user interface to perform tasks that might otherwise require multiple resources. Guests may make telephone calls, send electronic messages, receive electronic messages, have electronic messages received by the hotel forwarded to other e-mail addresses, browse the Internet, and/or retrieve information on hotel services using the same computing device.
Abstract:
A system for collaboration summarization playback includes a graphical user interface (950) for displaying summarization categories (952) associated with recording cues and clips of the multimedia conference. The categories may be arranged as a list or as thumbnails and typically includes a length of time for each category; a time during the conference when the associated clip was recorded; and a media type. The categories are clickable and allow the associated clip to be played or displayed as recorded. In addition, in certain embodiments, a voice recognition transcription of audio clips may be provided.
Abstract:
Communications systems are provided, a representative one of which incorporates: a recorder operative to record information associated with a communication; and a first computer application operative to provide a graphical user interface, the graphical user interface being configured such that, responsive to a user input designating a portion of the communication via the graphical user interface, information corresponding to that portion of the communication and recorded by the recorder is presented to the user, the first computer application being further operative to construct an integrated data stream comprising at least some of the information recorded.
Abstract:
A method for creating and maintaining threads of communications comprises accepting an electronic-communication call from a caller, determining if the caller is a new or previous caller by determining if a prior-caller user identification is contained within a call-receiving system, responsive to determining that the caller is a new caller assigning a new-caller user identification to the new caller and assigning a unique thread identification for communications related to a new issue, and responsive to determining that the caller is a known previous caller verifying a known-caller user identification and determining whether the known previous caller is calling about a new issue. Responsive to determining that the known previous caller is calling about a new issue, the method further includes assigning a unique thread identification to the new issue. Responsive to determining that the known previous caller is calling about an existing issue, the method further includes obtaining a list of previous thread identifications.
