A method and apparatus for processing IVR input in a call setup message are provided herein. The method includes receiving at an IVR system a call setup message including information associated with one or more data fields; parsing the information included in the call setup message; and directing the call based on the information included in the call setup message.

Method and system for processing interactive voice response input in a call setup message

Systems and methods for deriving contact information for a calling party analyze all or a portion of the audio of the telephone call to derive such contact. Likewise, all or a portion of a voice message left by a calling party could be analyzed to obtain contact information for the calling party.

Systems and methods for deriving contact names

Methods and systems for facilitating a communication session receive a sound signal and determine at least one contributing source to the received sound signal from among a plurality of communication endpoints, wherein each respective communication endpoint of the plurality of communication endpoints is associated with a corresponding participant in the communication session and includes a microphone and loudspeaker. Based on a determination of multiple communication endpoints being co-located, one or more embodiments perform at least one of processing the received sound signal by selectively altering the received sound signal, or initiating an instruction to inhibit further contribution, to the sound signal, from at least one of the co-located multiple communication endpoints.

Systems and methods for mitigating and/or avoiding feedback loops during communication sessions

Systems and methods for establishing a language translation setting for a telephony communication determine whether first and second parties to the telephony communication are likely to speak different languages. If so, one or both parties are queried to determine if they would like a language translation to be performed. One or both parties' response to that query is used to establish a language translation setting for the telephony communication. If one or both parties request a translation, some form of real-time translation may then be provided.

Methods and systems for determining availability of a user based on mobile device status are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method for determining availability of a user based on mobile device status may include receiving, at a first device, an instruction to check a status of a second device; transmitting a status request from the first device to the second device; and receiving, responsive to the status request, a message from the second device indicating a telephony status of the second device.
