| 20090083378 | SYSTEM AND METHOD TO CONTROL COLLABORATION PARTICIPATION - A system and method is provided for controlling collaboration participation. The system includes a computing infrastructure configured to monitor endpoint collaboration devices and/or users. The computing infrastructure is also configured to authorize collaboration between one or more of the endpoint collaboration devices and/or users with an initiating device if the computing infrastructure finds a match between stored attributes and information related to the one or more endpoint collaboration devices and/or users. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20100034363 | Telephonic Repeat Method - A method, system and computer program product for assigning one or more conditions to a telephonic communication system to enable recording, replaying, and pausing of a telephone conversation. Recording of a telephone conversation may be manually or dynamically initiated during the telephone conversation. Dynamic replay of a telephone conversation is automatically initiated when a conversation experiences insufficient call quality, an interruption to the telephone service is detected, the user is distracted, a displacement of the user's phone is detected, or the user toggles between listening modes. A pause mode is automatically entered into during the telephone conversation when a section of the telephone conversation is replayed. An automated pause alert may be played during repeat of the telephone conversation to inform one or more parties that the user is temporarily unavailable. Real-time access to the telephone conversation is resumed when the replaying of the recorded telephone conversation has ended. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100035583 | MANAGING WIRELESS TRANSMISSIONS UPON UNINTENTIONAL DISCONNECTION OF SERVICE - Disclosed are a method, system and computer program product for managing unintentional disconnection of a communication device. A system detects a first device to a transmission has been unintentionally disconnected from an ongoing communication with a second communication device. The connected second device is signaled regarding the disconnection. Recording of a disconnection voicemail message for the disconnected first communication device is enabled before disconnecting the second communication device. The second device may set an expiration time on the disconnection voicemail message. Upon resumption of service, the disconnected first device is informed of a new voicemail message left by the second device during the disconnection. A disconnection-specific voicemail greeting may be recorded by a user of the disconnected first device's system for use when a disconnection occurs. The disconnection-specific voicemail greeting is played to the connected second device when disconnection occurs. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100035584 | Managing Voicemail Greeting Based On Location of Wireless Communication Device - Disclosed are a method, system and computer program product for managing voicemail greetings on a wireless communication device based on the device's location. A user records location-specific voicemail greetings on the user's wireless communication device, and associates the greetings with specific locations. When an authorized caller calls the user's wireless communication device, the location of the user's wireless communication device is detected, and location information of the user's device is sent to a call switching component. The call switching component presents the caller with the voicemail greeting associated with the location of the user's wireless communication device. The date and time the user's wireless communication device entered the location can be provided via a timestamp and presented to the caller along with the location-specific voicemail greeting, to enable the caller to determine when the user may be available to communicate, based on the combination of the information in the greeting and the timestamp information. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100035585 | Managing Voicemail Messages Based On Location of Caller's Wireless Communication Device - Disclosed are a method, system and computer program product for processing voicemail messages to a user's wireless communication device based on a location of a caller's wireless communication device. Call answering protocols are assigned for implementation based on the location of the caller's wireless communication device at a time a call is received from the caller's device. Call answering protocol entries are received via a wireless communication device. When a call is received, a location of the caller's wireless communication device is detected. Location information regarding the caller's wireless communication device is received at a call switching component. The call is processed at the call switching component based on the call answering protocol for handling a caller's call received from the location of the caller's wireless communication device. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100036604 | ROUTE NAVIGATION FOR OPTIMAL MOBILE COVERAGE - A utility within a mobile device or other device computes and provides an optimal mobile coverage route. The device receives a stating point/location and a destination point/location. The mobile device downloads a provider's mobile coverage information, accesses historical data stored by the mobile device, and obtains user feedback from the provider. The optimal mobile coverage route is then computed at the device, and the optimal mobile coverage route is provided via one of the following: a web site, or a text message (SMS) to, a voice operated feed, or any direct feed to the user of the mobile device. The computed optimal mobile coverage route is then used by the user of the mobile device when communicating with another mobile device while travelling from the starting point to the end point. | 02-11-2010 |
| 20100150320 | HANDLING COMMUNICATION SESSION DISCONNECTION AND RECONNECTION - A method, system and computer program product records missed information that is communicated between one or more connected communication terminals during a disconnection period and replays the missed information when a temporarily-disconnected communication terminal reconnects to the active communication session. The method comprises: detecting disconnection of the communication terminal from the active communication session; in response to detecting the disconnection, automatically recording the missed information exchanged between the one or more connected communication terminals remaining in the active communication session; detecting reconnection of the disconnected terminal to the active communication session; and delivering the recorded information exchange to the reconnected terminal, in response to detecting the reconnection. | 06-17-2010 |
| 20110302430 | PEER TO PEER POWER MANAGEMENT - A system and methods for delivering power to a multitude of portable electronic devices is provided. More specifically, the system and methods provide for powering different portable electronic devices through a central charging device. The method of delivering a power supply to a plurality of portable electronic devices includes determining a power requirement for each of the portable computing devices and supplying the power requirement to each of the portable computing devices in a daisy chain configuration using a central power device. | 12-08-2011 |
