A system and method for delivering an event from an event publisher to an event subscriber via an event broker are disclosed. The event broker performs several functions such as receiving an event published by an event publisher of a first domain, assigning a priority based on a second domain to a plurality of subscribers of the second domain, processing the event based on a rule and the priority, and further delivering the event published by the event publisher of the first domain to the plurality of event subscribers of the second domain in accordance with the priority.

System and method for event driven publish-subscribe communications

A system and a method for delivering an event from an event publisher to an event subscriber via an event broker are disclosed. The event broker performs several functions such as receiving an event published by an event publisher of a first domain, assigning a priority based on a second domain to a plurality of subscribers of the second domain, processing the event based on a rule and the priority, and further delivering the event published by the event publisher of the first domain to the plurality of event subscribers of the second domain in accordance with the priority.

An arrangement for providing, on an ad hoc basis, a closed user group (CUG) among a collection of pre-defined IP network users. A set of intelligent access devices, dispersed through the IP network, constantly transmit a set of pings associated with the defines CUGs to discover those devices within its communication range. The discovered IP addresses for each device is thus constantly updated, allowing group members to remain in constant contact (emulating an 'always on' connection). The users feels they are always connected with group members and thus have instant access to voice/data/video sessions&#x2014;much like hot lines or 'always on' connections.

Closed user groups

A method and apparatus for enabling users who request a map of a specified route to invoke a data session to see images of the key markers and a video session to see live views of key points along the route are disclosed. If traffic appears congested, the subscriber can request an alternative route from the network along with image and video sessions to verify the traffic conditions of the alternative route.

Method and apparatus for providing traffic information associated with map requests

A system for identifying a network intrusion includes four modules. The first module monitors network transmissions and creates a model of regular network activity. The second module receives the model of regular network activity and sets a threshold for irregular usage based on the model. The third module receives the threshold, compares a value of a candidate inter-nodal transmission of the network to the threshold, and identifies a potential intrusion when the value exceeds the threshold. The fourth module analyzes a transmission behavior of one or more nodes of the candidate inter-nodal transmission and identifies the network intrusion.

Network intrusion detection

The present invention enables users of a network service to register with the network as valued shoppers, thereby allowing them to receive specialized treatment when calling registered retailers. The present invention enables retailers to register with the network, thereby allowing them to set preferred service logic for handling valued customer calls by the network.

Method and apparatus for providing special call handling for valued customers of retailers

A transceiver of a computing device may receive data from a query to provide to a search engine to perform a search. The computing device may negotiate, automatically to overcome a restriction to access a page of a set of top webpages in association with the search, a fee. A processor of the computing device may continue to search information associated with the query on the page using a machine learning function.

Searching restricted content on a network

A method and apparatus for alarming on all signaling protocol messages that fail in substantial numbers on any particular routes within an IP network are disclosed. For example, upon receiving these alarms, the network will attempt to identify, and to correct the error producing conditions to prevent further call signaling message failures.

Method and apparatus for providing internet protocol call signaling network assurance

A method and apparatus for calculating a cost index in a communication network. In one embodiment, a plurality of first cost factors associated with a first set of network elements is obtained. Subsequently, a plurality of second cost factors associated with a second set of network elements is obtained. A first cost index is then determined based on the plurality of first cost factors associated with the first set of network elements. Similarly, a second cost index is determined based on the plurality of second cost factors associated with the second set of network elements. Afterwards, the first cost index is compared to the second cost index to determine a point in time when a service provider should minimize new investment in the first set of network elements.

Method and apparatus for evaluating component costs in a communication network

A method and apparatus for providing access to teleconference services using voice recognition technology to receive information on packet networks such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and Service over Internet Protocol (SoIP) networks are disclosed. In one embodiment, the service provider enables a caller to enter access information for accessing a conference service using at least one natural language response.

Method and apparatus for providing voice control for accessing teleconference services

The invention comprises a method and apparatus for enabling a subscriber to establish a call to at least one destination phone number using an email address. Specifically, the method comprises receiving an incoming communication request from the subscriber for establishing the call (where the incoming communication request comprises an email address), determining at least one destination phone number associated with the email address, and processing the call using at least one of the at least one destination phone number associated with the email address.

Method and apparatus for enabling phone number dialing using email addresses
