| 20090193489 | SYSTEM FOR CONFIGURING A MEDIA PROCESSOR - A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a media processor communicatively coupled to a remote controller by way of a wireless interface. The media processor can have a controller to wirelessly transmit to the remote controller provisioning information stored in the media processor for restoring at least a portion of the provisioning information stored in the media processor. Other embodiments are disclosed. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20090180597 | SMART MESSAGES FOR UNIFIED MESSAGING AND CALLTREE INTEGRATION - In an integrated unified messaging (UM) and interactive voice system, a unified messaging application server provides a plurality of different types of messages. The unified messaging application server is responsive to a media server which serves the different types of messages to at least one user device. The unified messaging application server is also responsive to an interactive voice server, that communicates with the unified messaging application server and the media server. The interactive voice server includes a plurality of nodes that can be accessed by the unified messaging application server, such that the user device is provided with messages that allow the user device to access the interactive voice server. | 07-16-2009 |
| 20090141702 | ACCESS LINK AGGREGATOR - One or more virtual access nodes manage multiple physical links connecting a digital subscriber line access multiplexer and an intelligent network interface device by logically bonding physical ports together into a group. Physical ports bonded in a logical group have equal priority with respect to one another. Thus, no master-slave relationship exists between the physical ports in the logical group. Traffic associated with a site is transmitted over physical links associated with the logical group of physical ports to a customer premises network interface device. The customer premises network interface device subsequently aggregates the received traffic and provides an increased bandwidth to the site over the physical links. The quality of communication is based on the number of operational physical links associated with the logical group. As long as at least one physical link associated with the logical group remains operational, communication will be enabled. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20080312903 | NATURAL LANGUAGE INTERFACE CUSTOMIZATION - A predefined interface is presented to a remote user. A natural language inquiry from the remote user is received via the predefined interface. The natural language inquiry is configured for use in an analysis. A customized interface is presented to the remote user based on the analysis of the natural language inquiry. The customized interface includes a customized set of communications options for the remote user to route communications. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20080301018 | REVENUE ASSURANCE TOOL - A system assures revenue reconciliation of customer billing and vendor settlements for multimedia services, including voice over IP, provided through a network. The system includes a data repository configured to store a plurality of tables, each table including data collected from a plurality of network elements in the network and relating to at least one of customer usage, mediation, customer billing and vendor settlement. The system also includes a processor configured to execute an alert rule based on data retrieved from at least one table stored in the data repository. The alert rule includes a comparison between the at least one table and at least one other table of the plurality of tables. The processor triggers an alert associated with the alert rule when a corresponding alert rule threshold is exceeded based on the comparison, and initiates reporting of the triggered alert. | 12-04-2008 |
