| 20090132877 | Method for Embedded Integrated End-to-End Testing - A method and system for automated testing of a system such as a billing module in a telecommunication system is disclosed. In a first embodiment, test APIs, scenarios and configuration information are embedded into the module itself in a way such that, when testing is desired, tests may be conducted without any need for a dedicated test environment. Tests can be run from within the module itself, thereby eliminating the risk, expense and time required to use external testing systems and data to test the module. In another embodiment, operational data such as live operational orders are wrapped in test headers and are used as input data for testing purposes within the billing module. In this embodiment, test APIs may be embedded into all modules of an operational support system so that complete system end-to-end testing is possible without the use of dedicated external test equipment and processes. | 05-21-2009 |

| 20100157798 | Time Based Queuing - Smart routing packet handling across multiple networks achieves end-to-end (ETE) quality of service (QOS) when complementing or replacing conventional priority-based scheduling algorithms. Packets are “tagged” with a time code that indicates a time is allotted for the packet to transmit from a source to a destination and/or a measure of transmission time. Buffers at routers and/or switches utilize this information to order a transmission queue. In this way, queues may be intelligently scheduled to achieve a maximum ETE QOS. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100161338 | METHOD FOR CREATING A VIRTUAL FENCE USING A DEVICE WITH VOICE SIGNATURE PROCESSING AND GEOGRAPHIC LOCATOR CAPABILITY - A client device for creating a virtual fence includes a locator that determines a location of the client device. The client device includes a receiver that receives speech data and transmits the speech data to a speech processor that isolates an individual voice signature from the speech data. The client device includes a profile storage that stores profile information of a user of the client device. The client device includes an alarm generator that generates an alarm based on the isolated individual voice signature and the location of the client device. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100161802 | Methods and Apparatuses for Providing Differentiated User Service Options on Communications Networks - Systems and methods for providing differentiated user service options on communications networks are disclosed. Devices can be configured to generate service change requests, and to transmit the service change requests to a network node. The service change request can be routed to a node that determines if the service change request should be granted. The device and network can begin operation in accordance with the service change request almost instantly since no negotiation is required between the device and the network. Methods and computer-readable media embodying methods for providing differentiated user service options, are also disclosed. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100178903 | Systems and Methods to Provide Personal Information Assistance - Systems and methods are provided to present information to assist an individual during social activities. For example, in response to a certain user gesture, or keywords in a voice conversation, a mobile device based system may capture audio and/or visual information to formulate an automated search to retrieve information for assisting the user privately. For example, the face or the voice of another user can be captured to search for the name of that user to provide name assistance. | 07-15-2010 |
| 20110069685 | SIGNALING-LESS DYNAMIC CALL SETUP AND TEARDOWN BY UTILIZING OBSERVED SESSION STATE INFORMATION - A system and methodology that facilitates signaling-less call setup and teardown by employing observed Quality of Experience (QoE) and resource demands is provided. Moreover, the system provides an environment for supersonic treatment of observed QoE and Quality of Service (QoS) demands for mobile applications. Specifically, a monitoring component is employed to determine session state information associated with a traffic flow, which includes observed QoE and resource demand data. The session state information is stored in a shared memory location and can be analyzed to modify and/or create a network policy for the traffic flow. The network policy is applied to one or more traffic flows to minimize signaling exchanges between a communication network and a mobile station. | 03-24-2011 |
