Abstract: The present invention is a telecommunication system, comprising of at least one base station connected to a telecommunication network, a plurality of subscriber stations each cooperating with the base station to establish a connection between a user device operably connected to the subscriber station and the telecommunication network. The base station is also connected with a subscriber database to maintain the subscriber records that contain provisioning information for services, features and account information, and an interactive response system operable to create and modify a subscriber record in the subscriber database in response to input received over the connection from a subscriber using the user device to select services, features and account information for the subscriber station.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel system, method and apparatus of delivering interactive voice response services in a more efficient manner over a network. The system provides for the placement of a subscriber station local 28 to the subscriber and a gateway protocol converter at the base station 40. The gateway protocol converter converts bandwidth-intensive audio messages into compact data messages, which upon transmission to the subscriber station 28 are converted back into audio messages. By using data messages instead of audio messages over the network, bandwidth is saved on the network for other traffic. Another embodiment of the invention provides a method for transmitting subscriber responses utilizing the system.

Abstract: An identification and authentication scheme maintains control relationships among identities in order to allow a user to dynamically grant or deny permission for a technical support representative to access the user's data, while allowing the user to retain ultimate control over access to the data. Interactions entered by the representative can be distinguished from those entered by the user, while execution paths for representative-entered interactions are configured so that, to an application, the representative-entered transactions appear substantially identical to user-entered transactions. Technical support representatives are thereby able to duplicate users' problems to enable diagnosis and resolution of problems without requiring users to reveal their passwords or login credentials.

Abstract: An access site allows a client application to access a server application on behalf of a subscriber who has an account at the client site. A client application registers with the access site and receives a certificate for the client application. A subscriber is directed to the access site upon an indication that she would like to use the features of the client application that integrate with the server application. The subscriber specifies access rights to the access site, and issues a validation token in association with the specified access rights. When the client site needs the server application to process subscriber data, it forwards the validation token to the access site, using the certificate. The access site validates this information, and where appropriate the server application processes the subscriber data and returns the results to the client application.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel system, method and apparatus for answering a telephone call. In one aspect of the invention, there is provided a system for call answering that includes a switch for connecting a telephony device to incoming calls received from callers connected to the switch via a telephone network. The switch is also connected to a processing unit and a storage device that contains a plurality of pre-recorded messages. When a callee at the telephony device receives an incoming call during a meeting (or at some other inconvenient time) and yet the callee wishes to respond to the caller, then the callee can provide (via a keypad on the telephony device) message selection criteria to the processing unit. The processing unit can then assemble an outgoing message based on the message selection critiera. The message is assembled from from the plurality of messages saved on the storage device. Having assembled the message, the processing unit can then play that outgoing message to the caller.

Abstract: A method and system for managing a telephony connection on hold to reduce the use of resources within the telephony network and/or to allow the user on hold to place their telephony device into an on-hook state after they have been placed on hold. In two embodiments, a user of a telephony device who has been placed on hold can initiate a Smart Hold whereby their telephony device can be placed in an on-hook state while on hold and the user will be signaled when the call is to be removed from hold. This allows the user to perform other activities while a Smart Hold has been implemented, without the need to keep a telephone handset to their car, for example. The freeing up of local loop resources can also be achieved. In another embodiment, the Smart Hold can be initiated by either party to a connection without requiring cooperation of the other party. In some embodiments, no toll charges or the like will be incurred while the Smart Hold is in effect.

Abstract: Data for a temporal sequence of composition frames is created from data of a temporal sequence of footage frames by identifying a set of the footage frames temporally corresponding to a set of the composition frames and blending data from the set of footage frames to create data for the set of composition frames.
