20080276007 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROXYING TELEPHONY MESSAGES - A proxy computer of a network can receive incoming telephony messages from one or more computers outside of the network and proxy them to computers within the network. Similarly, the proxy computer can receive outgoing telephony messages from within the network and proxy them to computers outside of the network. To set up inbound calls, a proxy program on the proxy computer looks for the presence of an alias in the call signaling messages, references a data structure to determine which computer on the network is associated with the alias, and proxies the call signaling and control messages between the callee computer and the calling computer based on the association, thereby creating a logical connection between the calling computer and the callee computer. | 11-06-2008 |
20090177784 | END-POINT IDENTIFIERS IN SIP - A system and method for uniquely identifying an SIP device extends the SIP communications protocol with an end point identifier, carried for example in the header of an SIP transmission. The end point identifier is useful for routing, registration, subscription, and authentication. The end point (device) of a given user epid can be uniquely identified by creating a key from an epid and a user's address-of-record (URI). This in turn enables improved connection management and security association management when the connections/IP addresses are transient, such as when HTTPS tunneling is used. | 07-09-2009 |

20090193512 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ADDRESSING A UNIQUE DEVICE FROM A COMMON ADDRESS BOOK - A method and system for addressing a unique device from an address book, the method having the steps of: receiving a message having a root token and a secondary token; checking whether the root token exists within the address book, if no, creating a record in the address book with the root and secondary token; and if yes, checking whether the secondary token exists within the address book, if yes, providing a representation of the unique device; and if no, storing the secondary token against the root token in the address book. | 07-30-2009 |
20090298489 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR A CONVERGED NETWORK-BASED ADDRESS BOOK - A converged address book system having a converged address book (CAB) client for managing contact information, the CAB client including: an interface for interacting with a CAB server; and a synchronization interface for communicating with a synchronization module for interacting with a data synchronization enabler for synchronization between the CAB client and CAB server; the interface allowing the CAB client to manage contact information by making requests to and receiving responses from the CAB server. The CAB server including an interface for interacting with a CAB client; a data synchronization manager for synchronizing information between at least one CAB user device and the CAB server; a data synchronization interface for synchronizing data with the CAB client; a subscription manager for managing CAB subscription and authorization information; a document management interface for communicating with a CAB XMDS; and an XDMC for accessing and manipulate CAB data stored in the XDMS. | 12-03-2009 |
20100198854 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SEARCHING MULTIPLE CONTACT INFORMATION SOURCES IN A NETWORK-BASED ADDRESS BOOK SYSTEM - Methods are provided for searching at least one directory that is external to an address book architecture including a client and a server. In one embodiment a client may communicate a contact search request that specifies an external directory which does not support a standard search format, the request causing the server to translate the request to an external search request in another format supported by the external directory. In another embodiment a server may translate a contact search request received from a client when the request specifies an external directory which does not support a standard search format. In yet another embodiment an interworking function, which is operable to import contact information from a legacy address book storage to a converged address book storage, of an address book server is adapted to query an external directory which does not support a standard search format. | 08-05-2010 |
20100212011 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SPAM REPORTING BY REFERENCE - Methods and systems for spam reporting by reference are described. In one embodiment, an electronic message may be received by a mobile electronic device. A spam report may be transmitted from the mobile electronic device to a report server. The spam report may notify the report server that the electronic message is spam and include a reference to the electronic message without including the electronic message itself. The reference may be usable to identify the received message. | 08-19-2010 |
20110214066 | Integration of active interest information with an address book - A system, method, and apparatus for integrating active interest information with an address book are provided. Active interest information is indicative of a current or ongoing interest of a first user and may be generated based on use of an application client by the first user. The active interest information is used to update an active interest field in a contact record describing the first user in an address book associated with a second user. The contact record may be updated by an address book client or a converged address book server. Provided is a converged address book server that manages the sharing and updating of active interest information and address books. The active interest information may also be updated using a personal contact card associated with the first user. Also provided is a method and apparatus for prompting communication between contacts based on active interest information. | 09-01-2011 |
20120271963 | TRANSPORT MECHANISMS FOR DYNAMIC RICH MEDIA SCENES - A transport mechanism for supporting the download of SVG over FLUTE or UDP. A RTP payload format is specified that enables live streaming and the streaming of rich media content. According to the present invention, rich media content is encapsulated in RTP packets based upon the payload format at the sender. With the present invention, an efficient framework is provided for satisfying several use cases or scenarios that involve rich media transmission. | 10-25-2012 |
