Methods and systems related to supporting real time communications are disclosed. In one type of a real time communication session, prior to an offer and acceptance to perform real time communications, a communication channel may be established between a caller device and a callee device. Information related to addresses of the caller and callee devices can be contained in, or pointed to, by a Universal Resource Locators (URLs) for the caller and callee devices. A network computing device may communicate messages relating to establishing and maintaining the communication channel between the caller and callee devices. In a scenario where the network computing device becomes unavailable, another network computing device can use the URLs and other channel information that may be stored in the database, to handle messages.

Establishing and managing connections for real time communications

Methods and systems for modifying/supplementing a message are described. A computing device may receive a message from a user device that is intended for a recipient device. A user of the user device may create a message, such as a voicemail, by interacting with the computing device. The computing device may analyze the message in real-time as the user is interacting with the computing device and send, to the user device, one or more options for modifying/supplementing the message. The user of the user device may select one or more of the options and cause the computing device to modify/supplement the message accordingly.

Methods and systems for supplementing a message

An apparatus, method, system and computer-readable medium are provided for provisioning a user equipment device (UED). The UED may be configured to receive a generic configuration and (dynamically) derive settings specific to the UED that would otherwise have been received in the configuration. The UED may execute one or more applications to derive the settings specific to the UED. A first application may enable the UED to dynamically learn a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) and IP address of a node. A second application may enable the UED to generate authentication credentials for the UED. A third application may enable the UED to determine a port or ports that are authorized for service and a port or ports that are not authorized for service. A fourth application may enable the UED to determine a number associated with the UED.

Provisioning using a generic configuration

Methods and systems related to supporting real time communications are disclosed. In one type of a real time communication session, prior to an offer and acceptance to perform real time communications, a communication channel may be established between a caller device and a callee device. Information related to addresses of the caller and callee devices can be contained in, or pointed to, by a Universal Resource Locators (URLs) for the caller and callee devices. A network computing device may communicate messages relating to establishing and maintaining the communication channel between the caller and callee devices. In a scenario where the network computing device becomes unavailable, another network computing device can use the URLs and other channel information that may be stored in the database, to handle messages. In one embodiment, messages identify the caller or callee devices, to which each message is directed, using target URLs (caller and callee URLs), which reduces the need to access information related to the intended target.

A first application may enable the UED to dynamically learn a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) and IP address of a node. A second application may enable the UED to generate authentication credentials for the UED. A third application may enable the UED to determine a port or ports that arc authorized for service and a port or ports that are not authorized for service. A fourth application may enable the UED to determine a number associated with the UED.

The disclosed embodiments include a system and method for providing at least one electronic application to at least one device. In one embodiment, the method includes acquiring device information that relates to the device and determining whether the device supports the at least one application based on the device information. The method may further include generating an electronic message for the device wherein the message contains at least one link for acquiring the at least one application when the device supports the application.

System and method for providing an application to a device

Automated booting of a client for a subscriber is provided for clients that are for use in interactive user sessions that involve multimedia. A subscribe message is sent from the client to a proxy server. The proxy server authenticates the subscribe message, and sends the subscribe message to the configuration server. A notify message is sent to the client from the configuration server. The notify message is sent through the proxy server, and contains a location of a profile for the client. The profile is downloaded to the clients. This arrangement allows the persistence of profiles in a centralized place.

Updating configuration parameters of clients

System and methods for providing a user experience are described, including a method comprising determining a location of a user and automatically selecting an interface device of a plurality of interface devices based upon the location of a user. The selected interface device can be configured to transmit audio, transmit video, receive audio, receive video, or a combination thereof. The method can also comprise automatically configuring a user experience provided via the selected interface device.

Activating devices based on user location

Method and system for booting, provisioning and activating hardware and software clients

Automated booting of a client for a subscriber is provided for clients that are for use in interactive user sessions that involve multimedia. A subscribe message is sent from the client to a proxy server. The proxy server authenticates the subscribe message, and sends the subscribe message to the configuration server. A notify message is sent to the client from the configuration server. The notify message is sent through the proxy server, and contains a location of a profile for the client. The profile is downloaded to the client. This arrangement allows the persistence of profiles in a centralized place.
