Abstract: In one embodiment, active recent bidders in a bidding fee auction are displayed in a region of a graphical bidder interface. Each bidder in the set of active recent bidders is displayed in a single graphical bidder element, or avatar, in the region. In response to receiving an event, an activity level and a recency measure for each bidder in the bidding fee auction are generated. Bidders are removed or added to the set of active recent bidders based on the activity levels and recency measures of the bidders. Avatars corresponding to the bidders are added or removed from the region.

Abstract: An exemplary VoIP service provides call participants cues to indicate that an enhanced service is being employed. When calling, the standard dial tone may be replaced with a distinctive dial tone or sound that indicates to the call participant that enhanced service is active (e.g., a service active sound). In some embodiments, the person called by the VoIP user hears a viral sound that indicates that an enhanced telephone service is being used. Furthermore, communication audio cues may be provided during the communication to provide further information to the call participants.

Abstract translation: 示例性VoIP服务提供呼叫参与者提示以指示正在采用增强服务。 当呼叫时，标准拨号音可以被用于向呼叫参与者指示增强服务是活动的（例如，服务主动声音）的特殊拨号音或声音来代替。 在一些实施例中，由VoIP用户呼叫的人听到病毒声音指示正在使用增强型电话服务。 此外，可以在通信期间提供通信音频提示以向呼叫参与者提供进一步的信息。

Abstract: A decentralized architecture allows a plain old telephone system (POTS) line to be shared for use. Routing logic is handled by a voice over Internet protocol (VOIP) control system and by logic in an initiating analog telephone adapter (ATA). A destination ATA is selected based upon the phone number of a destination phone. Routing information for a destination ATA is communicated to the initiating ATA, and the initiating ATA communicates a media stream to the destination ATA. The system and method enables lower cost routing than currently available, relieves a caller at an initiating phone from having to select whether to use VOIP or the PSTN, and relieves the caller from dialing special phone numbers.

Abstract translation: 分散架构允许将普通的旧电话系统（POTS）线路共享使用。 路由逻辑由互联网语音协议（VOIP）控制系统和起始模拟电话适配器（ATA）中的逻辑来处理。 基于目的地电话的电话号码选择目的地ATA。 将目的地ATA的路由信息​​传送到发起ATA，并且发起ATA将媒体流传送到目的地ATA。 该系统和方法能够实现比当前可用的更低成本的路由，从而不需要选择是使用VOIP还是PSTN，从而减轻主叫方拨打特殊电话号码。
