| 20090013062 | CONFIGURATION OF IP TELEPHONY AND OTHER SYSTEMS - The present specification provides a system for the configuration of multiple devices on a local network. The system can permit configuration by unskilled personnel. The configuration is resilient in that the devices can cooperate to preserve configurations for devices which are temporarily removed. The system includes a local configuration server which will restore the configuration of previously configured devices as they return to the network, or assist newly connected devices in obtaining initial configuration. The local configuration server can be a component of an already existing end user device, or can be a separate entity, and can be elected from the set of all so capable devices present in the network. The currently active local configuration server can be configured to distribute current data to other devices capable of serving as the local configuration server in the network, for resiliency, in case of failure or disconnection and to allow for a new device to be elected. For resiliency across power failures and other causes of local network failure, a network-based aggregator is also described. Local configuration servers can register their configurations of all network devices on the aggregator. The aggregator can restore these configurations to the relevant local configuration server on recovery from local network failures. With this capability, the aggregator can provide a path whereby network-based configuration servers can mange configurations on all devices. | 01-08-2009 |
| 20090150523 | Configuration of IP telephony and other systems - The present specification provides a configurable end-user device comprising a computing environment comprising at least one central processing unit, volatile storage, non-volatile storage, and a network interface interconnected by a bus. The network interface is connectable to one or more other end-user devices via a local area network. The end-user devices, including the configurable end-user device, for accessing at least one service that is available on a wide area network connected to the local area network. The configurable end-user device having a configuration profile storing user-associated feature sets associated with respective log-in data, each user-associated feature set defining how the configurable end-user device is to be configured when the respective log-in data is received at the configurable end-user device. Furthermore a user configuration profile server, a local configuration profile server and an aggregator are provided for storing copies of configuration profiles. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20100150324 | Method and apparatus for managing voicemail in a communication session - A system, method and apparatus for managing voicemail in a communication session between a sending communication device and a receiving communication device are provided. It is determined at the receiving communication device that a voicemail is to be created. The voicemail based on content received via the sending communication device. The voicemail is recorded. The voicemail is caused to be stored at resources associated with the sending communication device. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20100322394 | Method, system and apparatus for storing voicemail - A method and apparatus, and system for storing voicemail data are provided. Voicemail data is generated at a telephony device engaged in a communication session with a calling telephony device, the voicemail data comprising a voice message. E-mail data is then automatically generating after the voicemail data is generated, the e-mail data comprising data identifying the voicemail data, the e-mail data further comprising the voicemail data. The e-mail data is then transmitted to a network address associated with a remote e-mail server, such that the e-mail data, including the voicemail data, is stored at the remote e-mail server. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20110051910 | Method and apparatus for Forwarding Voicemail - A method and apparatus for forwarding voicemail is provided. A voicemail server determines that voicemail data stored in a memory device has been classified as urgent, the voicemail data for forwarding to a recipient communication device. Availability data associated with the recipient communication device is processed to determine an availability of the recipient communication device. If the availability data is indicative that the recipient communication device is available for receiving calls, then the voicemail data is provided to the recipient communication device. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110063406 | System and method for cascaded teleconferencing - A system and method for forming a cascaded teleconference between digital telephony devices is disclosed. The method comprises selecting a plurality of digital telephony devices for a teleconference. Each digital telephony device includes a microphone, a speaker, an input port, and at least one output port. A cascaded peer to peer network is formed between the selected digital telephony devices. A sum of the local microphone signal and at least one conference microphone signal is transmitted at the output of each of the plurality of digital telephony devices. The at least one conference microphone signal is broadcast over the speaker at each of the plurality of digital telephony devices to provide the cascaded teleconference. | 03-17-2011 |
