Patent number: 9300699Abstract: A method and system for providing call forwarding in an IP telephone network is disclosed. First, when a telephone number for a first telephone from a second telephone is dialed, the call is routing to a call manager. Call setup procedures with a BRG responsible for the first telephone are then initiated. The BRG then checks stored call forwarding profiles to determine whether there is an active call forwarding profile for the first telephone. The call is connected to the first telephone if an active call forwarding profile is not found. However, if an active call forwarding profile is found, the call forwarding information is sent to the call manager. The call is routed to at least a third telephone based on the call forwarding information.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2014Date of Patent: March 29, 2016Assignee: Shoretel, Inc.Inventors: Fen-Chung Kung, Jesse Eugene Russell, Anish Sankalia, Hopeton S.

Patent number: 9137304Abstract: A distributed cloud storage system includes a cloud storage broker logically residing between a client platform and a plurality of remote cloud storage platforms. The cloud storage broker mediates execution of a cloud storage process that involves dividing a data item into multiple portions and allocating the portions to multiple selected cloud storage platforms according to first and second rules defining a key known only to the cloud storage broker or to the client. At some later time when it is desired to retrieve the data item, the key is retrieved from storage and the rules are executed in a reverse fashion to retrieve and reassemble the data item.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2011Date of Patent: September 15, 2015Assignee: Alcatel LucentInventors: Hanan M.

Patent number: 8711735Abstract: In an internet telephony system, toll-free service and the calls that are accepted and paid for can be specified by the IP telephony system user to be limited according to the calling party's identity, time of day, day of week or other criteria. Data that is used to screen or filter incoming calls is programmed into a call manager by the IP telephone system user's broadband residential gateway. Using such a system the user can carefully screen calls that are paid for and more closely control telecommunications service costs. More generally, the user has the ability to store predefined call handling criteria, which may be executed by the broadband residential gateway and/or the call manager.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2012Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property, II, L.P.Inventors: Fen-Chung Kung, Jesse Eugene Russell, Anish Sankalia, Spencer Wang, Hopeton Walker
