  • Patent number: 11496306
    Abstract: Communication circuitry associates a data source with a source Identifier (ID) and a cryptographic key and associates a data target with a target ID, contact token, contact condition, and contact information. The communication circuitry receives and decrypts the encrypted source ID, the encrypted target ID, and the encrypted contact token with the cryptographic key, and in response, authenticates the source ID, authenticates the target ID, and validates the contact token. When the authentication and validation are successful, the communication circuitry selects a portion of the contact information based on the contact condition, encrypts the selected contact information, and transfers the encrypted selected contact information to the data source. The data source uses the selected contact information and the contact token to transfer data to the data target. The data target uses the contact token to validate the data source.

  • Patent number: 10880088
    Abstract: A target transceiver transfers target instructions to a control server that associates a data source with contact information, conditions, and tokens. The target transceiver transfers the contact tokens to a source transceiver for the data source. The source transceiver encrypts and transfers a data target ID and the token to the control server. The control server receives and decrypts the data target ID and the token and identifies the data source, the data target, and the conditions. The control server processes the conditions to select a portion of the contact information and transfers the selected portion of the contact information to the source transceiver. The source transceiver transfers the user data to the target transceiver based on the selected contact information.

  • Patent number: 9813562
    Abstract: In a packet communication system, session border controllers receive and process communication packets to detect DTMF signaling. If DTMF signaling is detected, the session border controllers determine if DTMF transcoding is required. If DTMF transcoding is required, the session border controllers transfer DTMF transcoding instructions to a DTMF transcoding server. In response to the transcoding instructions, the DTMF transcoding server transfers transcoded DTMF signaling.

  • Patent number: 9608853
    Abstract: An IP origination point and method to determine transcoding in packet communications are provided. The IP origination point in one example embodiment includes a communication interface configured to exchange packet communications with a media transport path, a storage system configured to store an origination communication, payload data for the origination communication, integrity information for the origination communication that is configured to be modified by one or more transcoding operations, and returned integrity information that may have been modified by the one or more transcoding operations. A processing system generates and transmits the origination communication into the media transport path, compares the returned integrity information to the integrity information, and determines a transcoding level of transcoding that occurred in the media transport path if the returned integrity information is not equal to the sent integrity information.

  • Patent number: 9094497
    Abstract: A Dual Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF) circuit for relaying DTMF digits includes a communication interface, a storage system configured to store a sampling window size, a DTMF test sequence, a returned DTMF sequence, and one or more DTMF digits, with the one or more DTMF digits to be transferred to a second DTMF circuit by the DTMF circuit, and a processing system. The processing system receives the one or more DTMF digits via the communication interface and an input sampling window, generates the DTMF test sequence and transmits the DTMF test sequence to the second DTMF circuit, compares the DTMF test sequence to a returned DTMF sequence received back from the second DTMF circuit, and if the returned DTMF sequence is not the same as the DTMF test sequence, adjusts the sampling window size of the input sampling window.

  • Patent number: 8411671
    Abstract: An originating device coupled to an originating network requests a media call to a terminating device coupled to a terminating network. In between the originating and terminating networks, a tandem network receives a signaling message for the media call transferred by the originating network. The tandem network retrieves and processes numbers for the originating device and the terminating device from the signaling message to determine a loss adjustment for the media call and to select the originating device or the terminating device to make the loss adjustment. The tandem network transfers a loss instruction indicating the loss adjustment to the originating network or the terminating network for delivery to the selected device. The selected device receives the loss instruction and responsively makes the loss adjustment.
