Access to sensitive information in a database can be restricted to improve security and enable efficient auditing. A security engine receives a request from a requesting entity to access data in the database and determines that the requested data includes sensitive information. In response to the requesting entity being authorized to access the data, the security engine retrieves the requested data from the database and modifies the retrieved data by modifying metadata of the retrieved data to include a tag indicating that the retrieved data includes sensitive information. The security engine provides the modified data to the requesting entity and modifies a data access log to identify each attempted access to the modified data. When sensitive data is requested, an interface can include an obscuring element, requiring a user to manually select the element to view the data, enabling the logging of the explicit access request by the user.

A system and method for selecting a client gateway device to establish a path between client devices is provided. A method includes associating a first client gateway device of a first geographic region and a second client gateway device of a second geographic region with a first communication endpoint of a first client device, and associating a third client gateway device with a second client device, wherein the third client gateway device is a gateway of the first geographic region. The method also includes receiving a communication invitation directed to the first communication endpoint from the second client device via the third client gateway device, and responsive to receiving the communication invitation, selecting one of the first client gateway device or the second client gateway device. The method further includes establishing a communication path between the second client device and the first client device via the selected client gateway device and the third client gateway device.

A system and method for regional routing of internet protocol based real-time communication that includes registering a set of client application endpoint routes, comprising registering at least a first client gateway route of a first endpoint in a first region; receiving a communication invitation of the first endpoint; processing a set of communication instructions associated with the communication invitation and identifying a set of communication resources and at least a second endpoint; querying the client application endpoint routes and identifying a client gateway route of the second endpoint; and dynamically directing signaling path and media path of the communication according to the regional availability of the communication resources, the client gateway route of the first endpoint, and client gateway instance route of the second endpoint.

A system and method for communicating with a client application that can include establishing a client signaling communication channel with a first client application; receiving a communication request from the first client application through the client signaling communication channel, wherein the communication request contains at least an authentication token and a specified communication destination; verifying the authentication token; if the authentication token is verified, at the system bridge, establishing a signaling communication channel with the communication destination and a second media communication channel with the specified communication destination; at the system bridge, establishing a first media communication channel with the client application; and merging the first media communication channel with the second media communication channel.

A voice command acquisition method and system for motor vehicles is improved in that noise source information is obtained directly from the vehicle system bus. Upon receiving an input signal with a voice command, the system bus is queried for one or more possible sources of a noise component in the input signal. In addition to vehicle-internal information (e.g., window status, fan blower speed, vehicle speed), the system may acquire external information (e.g., weather status) in order to better classify the noise component in the input signal. If the noise source is found to be a window, for example, the driver may be prompted to close the window. In addition, if the fan blower is at a high speed level, it may be slowed down automatically.

In a navigation system, e.g., for a motor vehicle, for determining the route from a location of the navigation system to a destination point, the navigation system includes an output device for outputting the route and/or a direction indication that corresponds to the route, and an input device for inputting the destination point, graphics or images of selectable destination points being representable for the input of a destination point.
