| 20080261576 | Communication system for oil and gas platforms - Communications between oil platform operators and radio users on oil platforms are facilitated using a conference server that provides software-based conference rooms enabling the oil platform operators to speak and listen to desired radio users and other oil platform operators. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20090040948 | Speed conferencing - Speed conferencing is facilitated using a speed conference group. A conference server provides a conference room for managing a conference call between conference participants belonging to the speed conference group. The conference server uses the speed conference group to call the conference participants within that speed conference group to invite the conference participants to join the conference call in the conference room. | 02-12-2009 |
| 20090086957 | Real-Time Collaboration Center - A real-time collaboration center and method for using the same are described herein which enables a caller (end-user) to have a real-time collaboration session with a call center agent. In one embodiment, the real-time collaboration center is able to create a new real-time collaboration session for a caller where the caller is routed to the real-time collaboration session in which they might be joined by an automated call center agent which could provide product information and/or gather information to/from the caller while they wait for the live call center agent. When a live call center agent with the appropriate skill set becomes available, then he/she receives an invitation to join the real-time collaboration session where the two parties can then interact with voice, instant messaging, application/desktop sharing, and other media. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20100020955 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPLEMENTING GENERALIZED CONFERENCING - Generalized conferencing is implemented using a special conferencing matrix that maps conference inputs to conference outputs. The conferencing matrix defines respective output media to be provided to each of the conference participants based on respective input media received from the other conference participants. | 01-28-2010 |
| 20110135077 | Geospatial Telephony System - A geospatial telephony system initiates conference calls between participants based on location of participants. For example, a node within the system can receive a location at which a first communication device is geospatially located and can enable a conference call to be initiated between the first communication device and at least one other communication device based on that location. | 06-09-2011 |
| 20110164509 | APPLICATION-ENABLEMENT DATA SWITCH FOR ENHANCING LEGACY NFC SYSTEMS WITH WEB SERVICES - An Application-Enablement data switch enables web-enhanced services to be provided to legacy near-field communication (NFC) systems. The data switch receives IP packets from a legacy network and identifies select IP packets that contain NFC data indicating a reader ID of an NFC reader and a tag ID of an NFC tag in communication with the NFC reader. The switch further extracts the NFC data from the select IP packets and inserts the NFC data into a request message that is transmitted to a web application server that provides the web-enhanced services based on the NFC data. | 07-07-2011 |
| 20110165859 | INTERACTIVE ID SYSTEM USING MOBILE DEVICES - An interactive ID system enables dynamic delivery of content to a mobile device of a person on a campus. The system includes an interactive ID server coupled to receive a tag ID of a near field communication (NFC) tag and a reader ID of an NFC reader in communication with the NFC tag, in which one of the NFC tag and the NFC reader is on the mobile device and either the tag ID or the reader ID is associated with the person. The interactive ID server determines and communicates the content provided to the mobile device. | 07-07-2011 |
