Patent number: 8654175Abstract: Systems and methods provide a video messaging service for transmitting video messages between network terminals over a network. After a caller's video-messaging terminal receives a notification that a receiver failed to respond to a communication request, the caller's video-messaging terminal may enable the caller to record a video message and store it for viewing on-demand by a receiver's video-messaging terminal. After recording, the caller's video-messaging terminal transmits a stored message notification terminal to a network server which, in turn, transmits a stored message notification, including an identifier of the caller's video-messaging terminal, to the receiver. Based on the identifier, the receiver's video-messaging terminal may request access to the video message from the callers video-messaging terminal. In response to the request, the caller's video-messaging terminal retrieves the video message from storage and provides it to the receiver's video-messaging terminal over the network.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2011Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Assignees: Telesector Resources Group, Inc., Verizon Data Services LLCInventors: Brian R Woodworth, Enrique Ruiz-Velasco, Shadman Zafar

Patent number: 7940653Abstract: The present invention discloses systems and methods for transmitting video messages between network terminals over a network. When transmitting video data, a first network determines at least one video parameter based on, at least, the performance of the first network terminal, the performance of the network performance and user-preference data. Transmitted video data is encoded based on the video parameter.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2006Date of Patent: May 10, 2011Assignees: Verizon Data Services LLC, Telesector Resources Group, Inc.Inventors: Brian R. Woodworth, Enrique Ruiz-Velasco

Patent number: 7817557Abstract: Systems and methods are described for transmitting audio and video messages between network terminals over a network. A communication link is established between a first network terminal and a second network terminal, and audio data and video data is transmitted concurrently over the link. During communication, the first network terminal acquires data representing the performance of the first network terminal and data representing the performance of the network. Based on negotiation between the first network terminal and the second network terminal and received performance data the at least one buffering parameter is determined and, if the parameter is within a predetermined range, the buffering parameter of the first network terminal is modified.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2006Date of Patent: October 19, 2010Assignee: Telesector Resources Group, Inc.Inventor: Brian R.
