A method and system for processing recorded communications over a network provides a communication via a network to a recording server adapted for hosting a recordable meeting. The recording server includes a processor with a memory and communicates with the network and an identification code is provided for the recordable meeting along with text related to the communication, which is stored in data storage of the recording server. At least one pointer can be inserted during or after the meeting is recorded, forming a recorded meeting with at least one pointer mapped to the text of the recorded meeting. The recorded meeting with at least one pointer is then saved into the data storage that can be accessed by an interested user.

Method for retrieving information from presentations and meetings using a network

Systems and methods for providing location based conference calling services on communications networks. Location information relating to a device is passed to a location sensitive conference calling system. The location sensitive conference calling system uses the location information to identify a conference calling system, or a conference bridge associated with a conference calling system, to which to connect the device. The device is connected with the conference calling system, or a conference bridge associated with the conference calling system.

Methods and systems for providing location sensitive conference calling

A system, device and method for a proximity sensor network are disclosed. The proximity detection device includes a short range wireless receiver, a wireless network transceiver; and a controller connected to the receiver and transceiver. The device receives a short-range radio signal from a user's mobile communications device, and locates the user and takes various actions based on the identity of the user.

Proximity sensor network

Telephony features for a phone are configured based on the location of a user of the phone. A system receives location data corresponding to a location of the phone. An operational mode is selected from stored operational modes based on the location data. The operational mode of the user phone is set to the selected mode. In one mode, a reply message is provided to the caller that is associated with the location of the phone.

Configuration of telephony services for phone based on user location

Devices, systems, and methods are disclosed which relate to conveying gestures associated with commands by displaying images that a user associates with a gesture. Upon performance of the gesture, the commands are carried out by a device, system, etc. For example, a mobile device displays a gesture icon of a hammer. The gesture icon is labeled with a command. When a user makes a downward motion with the forearm, the mobile device senses that gesture through a gesture sensor. The mobile device interprets the gesture and executes the command in the label of the gesture icon.

Devices, systems, and methods for conveying gesture commands

A system and methodology for managing a mute function muting a connection to a conference call is disclosed. The system is implemented when the mute function is activated on a line connected to a conference call through a telecommunications network. The method includes receiving a sound, determining whether the sound meets predetermined criteria and if the sound meets predetermined criteria then performing a mute status operation.

Automatic mute detection

The present invention provides audio messaging in a communications network, e.g., a VoIP network. More specifically, the present invention establishes a non-duplex communication link between a first subscriber and a second subscriber. Audio messages are transmitted between the first subscriber and the second subscriber via the non-duplex communication link.

Method and apparatus for providing asynchronous audio messaging

Methods and systems for providing location-sensitive conference calling

Disclosed is a method and apparatus for enabling communication between a first party and a second party. The method and apparatus determine that the second party is calling the first party while the first party is leaving a message on the voicemail of the second party. The message is then aborted and the first party is connected to the second party.

Method and apparatus for connecting a caller previously diverted to voicemail

A system, device and method for placing a call in a telecommunications network is disclosed. In the method, a target address of a target station in a telecommunications network is received through a short range wireless connection. The method includes providing an alert that the target address was received, receiving a calling station off-hook confirmation, and establishing a connection through the telecommunications network between the calling station and the target station.

Telephone dialer and methods

A system and methodology for managing a mute function muting a connection to a conference call or other communication is disclosed. The system is implemented when the mute function is activated on a line connected to a conference call through a telecommunications network. The method includes receiving a sound, determining whether the sound meets predetermined criteria and if the sound meets predetermined criteria then performing a mute status operation.
