20110044184 | SWITCHING COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN DIFFERENT NETWORKS BASED ON DEVICE CAPABILITIES - Methods and systems provided herein allow a communication session to be established on an optimal communication network and subsequently transferred to alternative networks if conditions dictate that such a change is necessary or desirable. The types of conditions which may be considered when identifying the optimal communication network or the alternative network include conditions related to the operation of a user device, communication profiles of the user, resources available on other networks, and the like. | 02-24-2011 |
20110066694 | SIP ENDPOINT ENHANCER - Methods, devices, and systems are provided for enhancing the functionality of a communication device, such as a communication endpoint. This provides the ability to enhance less intelligent SIP endpoints with required features to support a richer user experience. Furthermore, the endpoint enhancer may be dynamically pluggable onto an existing network device. This provided pluggability allows a network administrator to add a new SEE template to the network without disrupting the network operation or the operation of previously existing SEEs. | 03-17-2011 |
20110081013 | Shared Media Access for Real Time First and Third Party Media Control - A method comprising a data-processing system that enables one or more applications to share fewer ports by having the data-processing system request the ports, and then assign a “token” to establish a “session” to permit the one or more applications to interact with the ports. | 04-07-2011 |
20110289203 | SIP MONITORING AND CONTROL ANCHOR POINTS - The concept of anchor points is introduced. Anchor points, and specifically Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) anchor points, serve as a media and call control point that is established on a per-user basis which can then be shared by any application. The use of an anchor point allows for applications to become aware of and control a communication late or cease monitoring and controlling a communication session early without disrupting the session or introducing a significant amount of control or media delay. | 11-24-2011 |
20110289219 | SIP ANCHOR POINTS TO POPULATE COMMON COMMUNICATION LOGS - The concept of a centralized communication log is provided. Anchor points, and specifically Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) anchor points, serve as a media and call control point that is established on a per-user basis which can then be leveraged by a communication log service. Such a communication log service is able to determine accurate and real-time communicant information for a communication session and populate a centralized communication log with the same. Such a communication log is, therefore, accurate with respect to multiple users in a system, highly available, and scaled horizontally. | 11-24-2011 |
20120163571 | HIGHLY SCALABLE AND DISTRIBUTED CALL/MEDIA MODELING AND CONTROL FRAMEWORK - A highly scalable and distributed call/media modeling and control framework is described. In particular, a plurality of anchor point servers are provided which enable one or more applications to exert call and media control over in-progress communication sessions even though the applications were not originally bound to the communication session during its setup. | 06-28-2012 |
20120265808 | CONTEXTUAL COLLABORATION - An activity stream is created in a first medium. The activity stream is a mechanism where participants can collaborate on a subject. Participants are added to the activity stream. A participant in the activity stream initiates a communication in a second medium. The status of the communication is determined. If the status of the communication is active, the status of the communication is indicated in the activity stream. | 10-18-2012 |
20140057613 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DYNAMIC DEVICE PAIRING - A communication system, method, and components are described. Specifically, a communication system that supports dynamic device pairing of communication devices is described. Such pairing is accomplished using a feature or pairing server, without requiring modification to associated communication endpoints. Moreover, sequenced applications can be applied for all communication endpoints when pairing is in effect. | 02-27-2014 |
20140086396 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENABLING HOT-DESKING - A hot-desking application and methods of operating the same are described. The hot-desking application can be provisioned as an explicit sequenced application for all user addresses of record in addition to being provisioned as an implicit sequenced application for all of the possible hot-desk endpoint addresses. Through such provisioning, the hot-desking application can, among other things, allow for calls to be placed directly from a hot-desk endpoint but still show the user's address of record as the calling identity. | 03-27-2014 |
20140093060 | NUMBER NORMALIZATION AND DISPLAY - Methods, devices, and systems are provided such that enterprise network administrators may create and display a dial plan management arrangement using enterprise canonical format and number normalization and friendly display tables. A solution is provided for creating and managing call routing simply and graphically using enterprise canonical format rather than through a legacy routing scheme using of a series of tables with no graphic depiction and multiple formats. By using a single format with a graphical representation when administering dial planning, implementation and management are significantly simpler and more efficient. | 04-03-2014 |
20140179292 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DYNAMIC DEVICE PAIRING - A communication system, method, and components are described. Specifically, a communication system that supports dynamic device pairing of communication devices is described. Such pairing is accomplished using a feature or pairing server, without requiring modification to associated communication endpoints. Moreover, sequenced applications can be applied for all communication endpoints when pairing is in effect. | 06-26-2014 |
20140233717 | IMPLEMENTATION OF THE SEMI-ATTENDED TRANSFER IN SIP FOR IP-MULTIMEDIA SUBSYSTEM ENVIRONMENTS - A communication system, method, and components are described. Specifically, a communication system having the ability to facilitate a semi-attended transfer in SIP for an IP-Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) environment is disclosed. The semi-attended transfer is possible even though one or more Back-to-Back User Agents are positioned between users engaged in the semi-attended transfer. | 08-21-2014 |
20140245418 | AUTOMATIC SIGN IN OF A USER AT MULTIPLE ENDPOINTS - The present disclosure is directed to methods and systems for user registration, where a user is logged in to a first device in communication with a server, including: receiving an anonymous registration of a second device comprising a token, where the second device is in communication with the server; receiving a credential of the user and the token; finding the second device using the token; and registering the user on the second device using the credential. | 08-28-2014 |
20140254785 | DYNAMIC DEVICE PAIRING WITH CONTROL SESSION ESTABLISHMENT - A communication system, method, and components are described. Specifically, a communication method is disclosed which enables a media device and control device to be dynamically paired to one another and a control link call to be established between the media device and the control device. The control link call can be utilized to permit the media device to be controlled by the control device while the media device exchanges media with a communication device operated by another user. | 09-11-2014 |

20140365635 | APPLICATION ROUTER - A process for registering applications is disclosed. The applications typically work in a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) JSR 289 environment. A request to register a application to monitor a communication session is received. A first instruction that identifies a first event in the communication session is received from the application. An event may be the sending of a specific type of packet, such as a SIP INVITE. The first event in the communication session is detected. In response to detecting the first event in the communication session, the application is registered to monitor the communication session according to the first instruction. A notification is also sent to the application to monitor the communication session according to the first instruction. | 12-11-2014 |
