20080208573 | Speech Signal Coding - The present invention relates to methods and apparatuses for speech signal encoding and decoding. In accordance with the invention, a discrete time speech signal is encoded by identifying a speech element in the speech signal. If the speech element is identified for the first time, the encoder ( | 08-28-2008 |
20080317230 | Method and System to Use Feature Profiles Call-by-Call in Telecommunication Call Handling - A method allowing a subscriber to use call handling features on a call by call basis defines a plurality of feature profiles, each including a number of call handling features. The method stores the feature profiles either in a customer premises equipment or in a related switch, and activates one of the feature profiles by selecting one of the feature profiles and applying the call handling features in the feature profile to the calls as long as the feature profile is activated. | 12-25-2008 |
20090196281 | ENERGY STAR compliant Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telecommunications network including ENERGY STAR compliant VoIP devices - A Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communications system, a method of managing a communications network in such a system and a program product therefore. The system/network includes an ENERGY STAR (E-star) aware softswitch and E-star compliant communications devices at system endpoints. The E-star aware softswitch allows E-star compliant communications devices to enter and remain in power saving mode. The E-star aware softswitch spools messages and forwards only selected messages (e.g., calls) to the devices in power saving mode. When the E-star compliant communications devices exit power saving mode, the E-star aware softswitch forwards spooled messages. | 08-06-2009 |
20090252317 | Method of managing a telecommunications system for adaptive serial ringing and program product therefor - A method of managing communications in a communications network and a program product therefore. Users provide lists of expected future locations, e.g., Serial Ringing (SR) lists. As each call traverses a user's SR-list to contact a respective user, the user's current location (i.e., the endpoint at which a call is answered) is noted and the list is automatically altered (e.g., reordered or timeouts shortened) to shorten the time between receiving an incoming call at the system and ringing the answering endpoint. Thereafter, the altered SR-list is used to locate the respective user. | 10-08-2009 |
20100014509 | Digital telecommunications system, program product for, and method of managing such a system - A digital telecommunications system, a method of managing a communications network in such a system and a program product for managing audio transmission in a digital communications system. A softswitch manages communications between devices at network endpoints, e.g., session initiation protocol (SIP) devices, and detects when communications include a non-human, e.g., an audio system, at an endpoint. The softswitch selects conversational communications for calls between voice devices and messaging communications parameters with lower overhead for communications with an audio system, e.g., messaging systems such as voice mail. | 01-21-2010 |
20100166167 | Method and Apparatus for Managing Subscriber Profile Information - A method and an apparatus are provided for managing subscriber profile information. The method provides a database containing a global subscriber profile, wherein the global subscriber profile includes the subscriber profile information. A network element serving a subscriber terminal requests information from the global subscriber profile associated with a subscriber identity presented by the subscriber terminal. The method then determines if all global subscriber profile information required for performing a function of the network element is compatible with the network element and transforms incompatible information into information compatible with the network element. | 07-01-2010 |
20110103565 | System and method for service resolution - Providing service resolution between a calling subscriber and a called subscriber of a telecommunications network, wherein a call of a calling subscriber device of the calling subscriber includes content for at least a first capability and a second capability and called subscriber device is capable of only a subset of the first and second capabilities. The calling subscriber device requests a call with the first and second capabilities. The called subscriber device broadcasts a signal to at least one peripheral device and requests a response from devices that are capable of the subset capability. A peripheral device responds that it has the requested subset capability. The called subscriber device splits the media received and sends the media corresponding to the requested subset capability to the peripheral device for processing. | 05-05-2011 |
20110158226 | DIGITAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM, PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR, AND METHOD OF MANAGING SUCH A SYSTEM - A digital telecommunications system | 06-30-2011 |
20110159859 | METHOD FOR MANAGING COMMUNICATION TRAFFIC OF DEVICES BASED ON AVAILABLE POWER RESOURCES - The present disclosure is a method and system for managing communication traffic of devices based upon available power for a device. A method for managing communication traffic may include receiving available power resource information from a device and routing communication intended for the device based upon available power of the device. | 06-30-2011 |
20140204174 | Content Security for a Mobile Communication Terminal - A method for outputting sensitive data to a user includes a communication terminal checking to determine whether at least a portion of the sensitive data is to be outputted by determining whether the communication terminal is in one of a plurality of predefined communication configurations for outputting the sensitive data. If the communication terminal is found to be a first configuration, the communication terminal transmits the sensitive data so that at least one of the video data and the audio data is output to the user via at least one peripheral device connected to the communication terminal. If the communication terminal is in a second configuration, the communication terminal performs at least one security action to help further protect the sensitive data. | 07-24-2014 |
20140379343 | METHOD, DEVICE, AND SYSTEM FOR AUDIO DATA PROCESSING - A method and apparatus that filters audio data received from a speaking person that includes a specific filter for that speaker. The audio characteristics of the speaker's voice may be collected and the specific filter may be formed to reduce noise while also enhancing voice quality. For instance, if a speaker's voice does not contain specific frequencies, then a filter may cancel the noise at such frequencies to ease noise cancellation and reduce processing sound spectrum for cleaning that is not needed. Additionally, the strength frequencies of a speaker's voice may be identified from the collected audio characteristics and those spectrums can be filtered with finer granularity to provide a speaker specific filter that enhances the voice quality of the speaker's voice data that is transmitted or output by a communication device. The audio data may also be output based upon a user's predefined hearing spectrum. | 12-25-2014 |
