The present invention is directed to a method and device for assigning a telephone number to a browsing session and for providing physical location information to a public safety answering point in association with a web-based chat or relay session.

Personal identification and interactive device for internet-based text and video communication services

A method and apparatus provide telecommunication terminal status information as enhanced telecommunication terminal status information by establishing communication with a telecommunication switching system controlling a telecommunication terminal by a monitor computer; directly accessing the telecommunication terminal status information from the telecommunication switching system by the monitor computer via a path distinct from that used to transmit the telecommunication terminal status information to the telecommunication terminal; converting the telecommunication terminal status information to enhanced terminal status telecommunication terminal status information by the monitor computer; and presenting the enhanced telecommunication terminal status information to a user of the telecommunication set. The telecommunication set may be a multi-paged telecommunication set. Further, the method and apparatus allow an individual to observe telecommunication terminals of an observed group by receiving enhanced telecommunication terminal status concerning the status of these telecommunication terminals.

Apparatus and method for providing enhanced telecommunication terminal status information

The system and method establish a conference call between a plurality of communication devices. Each communication device may have one or more participants. The number of participants on each communication device is determined. The system and method get a profile for each participant in the conference call. The profile contains at least one parameter. A filtered list of participants in the conference call is generated based on at least one parameter in the profiles. The filtered list of participants is then presented to various participants in the conference call.

System and method of managing conference calls through the use of filtered lists of participants

The system generates a first data stream which represents a data signal. The first data stream is encoded via a first encoding technique. The first data stream comprises one or more packets with a duration and timestamp. The data signal is encoded into a second data stream using a different encoding technique with a corresponding packet in the second data stream. A packet in the second data stream has the same duration and timestamp as the corresponding packet in the first data stream. The first data stream is sent on a first network. The second data stream is sent on a second network. The first and second data streams are received. A missing/delayed packet in the first data stream is detected. The data signal is regenerated using the first data stream and the packet from the second data stream that corresponds to the missing/delayed packet in the first data stream.

System and method for providing a replacement packet

In one embodiment, the present invention is directed to the use of separate communication pathways over different types of networks to handle bearer and control signaling in connection with a license transaction.

Licensing and certificate distribution via secondary or divided signaling communication pathway

A system is disclosed that integrates with conferencing platforms and provides real-time information by having intelligent agents running on a networked server that is integrated with the conferencing platform. The intelligent agents may be customized or adapted 'on the fly' or be preprogrammed by a user or caller to examine real-time data feeds or actively search websites and other information sources. The agents then report any relevant information or content to the system for injection or broadcast into the conference.

Intelligent conference call information agents

A method and system are disclosed for providing secure communications with a communication appliance such as an IP telephone, wherein such an appliance has a reduced risk to attacks by unauthorized or rogue applications. In particular, 'denial of service' and 'man-in-the-middle' attacks are prevented. One embodiment establishes authenticated and encrypted communications with a single IP server for transmitting and receiving substantially all IP application communications with third parties.

Method and system for secure communications with IP telephony appliance

The present invention, in one embodiment, is directed to the use of a communication pathway traversing a digital telephone network to handle a portion of the signaling traffic associated with a communication method performed over the Internet.

Multimedia communication session coordination across heterogeneous transport networks

A method and apparatus for identification of telephone numbers for IP telephones in offices to be assigned to different persons by (1) assigning one of the offices to one of the persons upon a request from the one of persons; (2) accessing a physical network address for an IP telephone located in the assigned one of the offices; (3) obtaining a telephone number for the one of the persons; (4) determining from the accessed physical network address an IP address of the IP telephone; (5) transmitting a message having the telephone number and IP address to a telecommunication switching system to which the IP telephone is interconnected; and (6) assigning the telephone number to the IP address by the telecommunication switching system in response to the message thereby assigning the telephone number to the IP telephone.

Telecommunication terminal identification on a switching system

An integrated video-telephony system is provided. The system allows a video communication session to be established to complement an audio communication session when communication devices or endpoints associated with the audio communication session are also video communication enabled. By coordinating the establishment of separate audio and video communication channels, integrated video-telephone communication sessions can be provided, without requiring the use of specialized communication servers or dedicated video telephone devices.

Video-telephony integration

An apparatus and method convert streaming text to a display of a telecommunication terminal to audio by detecting the streaming text being transmitted to the digital display and performing the conversion. Another embodiment converts text in one language directed to a display of a telecommunication terminal to text of another language and displays the resulting text on the display of the telecommunication terminal.
