20080285088 | Techniques to manage facsimile communications - Techniques to manage facsimile communications are described. An apparatus may comprise a facsimile device having an assigned access number, and a call terminal having the assigned access number and a facsimile control module, the call terminal to establish a call connection in response to a call request with the access number, and the facsimile control module to detect facsimile information and transfer the call connection from the call terminal to the facsimile device. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 11-20-2008 |
20090097478 | Techniques to access messaging services for branch offices - Techniques to access messaging services for branch offices are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may include a network interface for a packet-switched network, a private branch exchange for a circuit-switched network, and a gateway to couple to the network interface and the private branch exchange. The gateway may be operative to establish a packet-switched call connection with the network interface and a circuit-switched call connection with the private branch exchange. The gateway may further include a call router to route a call request over a circuit-switched network with the private branch exchange on behalf of a call terminal to access messaging services from a data center with a messaging server when the call terminal and the network interface are unavailable. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 04-16-2009 |

20080260116 | Fully redundant call recording - A system provides redundant telephone call processing. A gateway receives a call and identifies a first server as having primary responsibility for servicing the call and a second server as having secondary responsibility for servicing the call. The gateway communicates the call to both the first server and the second server. The first server initiates recording of a voice message. The first server and the second server record the voice message. If the first server fails to indicate it has completed and stored the voice message in a timely manner, the second server stores the recorded voice message. | 10-23-2008 |
20080273672 | Automated attendant grammar tuning - A system provides speech-enabled automated attendant call processing. A database comprises words that are anticipated to be received in a voice input. Stored in relation to the words are actions to be taken upon receipt of a call comprising to particular words. A server receives a call, and after playing a prompt, receives a voice input. The server identifies whether words in the voice input correspond to words in the database. If so, the server takes an action stored in the database in relation to the words in the voice input. If words in the voice input do not correspond to words in the database, the server queues the voice input for analysis. In response to inputs, the server adds words from the voice input to the database. | 11-06-2008 |
20090210225 | SUPPORTING ELECTRONIC TASK MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS VIA TELEPHONE - The disclosed personal information management (PIM) system supports tasks and reminders via a audio user interface. The user creates a task object via a telephone call to the server. The task object may include an audio recording of the user's voice received during the telephone call. The system may convert the user's speech to text and may store the text in the task object. The system may include other structured data further defining the task such as calling party number, due date, start date, priority, status, percentage complete, categories, or the like. As stored by the system, the task may appear with the user's other tasks in the user's client. The PIM system may provide outbound telephone calls to the user as reminders associated with the user's tasks. The user receiving the reminder call may hear voice prompts, computer generated speech, and/or the audio recording associated with the task. | 08-20-2009 |
20130254847 | IDENTITY SERVICES FOR ORGANIZATIONS TRANSPARENTLY HOSTED IN THE CLOUD - Embodiments of the invention are disclosed for establishing single identity/single-sign on (SSO) on a cloud computing platform. In an embodiment, a user is validated to the cloud computing platform, and identifies a domain. After establishing that the user has control of the domain, the cloud computing platform configures a directory service for the domain. The user may then use the directory service on the cloud computing platform to log in to his or her computer, as well as software services hosted on the cloud computing platform. | 09-26-2013 |

20090070109 | Speech-to-Text Transcription for Personal Communication Devices - A speech-to-text transcription system for a personal communication device (PCD) is housed in a communications server that is communicatively coupled to one or more PCDs. A user of the PCD, dictates an e-mail, for example, into the PCD. The PCD converts the user's voice into a speech signal that is transmitted to the speech-to-text transcription system located in the server. The speech-to-text transcription system transcribes the speech signal into a text message. The text message is then transmitted by the server to the PCD. Upon receiving the text message, the user carries out corrections on erroneously transcribed words before using the text message in various applications. | 03-12-2009 |
