Patent number: 9031058Abstract: Apparatus includes a communication predelivery receiver, configured to communicate with and relay both IP addressed overhead and IP addressed payload data from an originating communication device. The communication predelivery receiver includes a screener configured to, when the communication predelivery receiver is in communication with the originating communication device, receive certain data including first IP addressed data and second IP addressed data of corresponding first and second initiated communications. The communication predelivery receiver is configured and connected within a network so the first IP addressed data and the second IP addressed data are processed differently. For the first initiated communication, the first payload data is converted, after the point in time at which the screener received the first IP addressed data, from IP addressed first payload data to another network signal.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2011Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: Bear Creek Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Joseph B.

Patent number: 6728352Abstract: A network information management system includes, among other elements, a traffic reporting system, a switch shell, and a scheduling mechanism. The traffic reporting includes a database which holds traffic-related data collected from a network switch. The switch shell facilitates communication between the traffic reporting system and multiple digital telecommunications switch types. More specifically, the switch shell translates between a high layer generic interface protocol which defines a common set of switch interaction functions to unique portions of code uniquely compatible with the various switch types. The high layer generic interface protocol may comprise a set of query and response subsets, including a query and response subset for submitting an inventory request and for receiving in response to the submitted request, inventory information from the switch.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 1998Date of Patent: April 27, 2004Assignee: Bear Creek Technologies, Inc.Inventors: David R. Phillips, Prakash K. Muthukrishnan, Marc A. Guthrie, Tim M. Blackmon, Rebecca J. Soble, Glenn E. Grabbe, Scott M. Sirdevan
