  • Patent number: 9992646
    Abstract: A method for performing configurable actions based upon the detection of one or more mobile devices includes receiving from a detection point an identifier for each of one or more mobile devices detected within a detection perimeter associated with the detection point. The identifiers are then filtered to determine a change in status for each of the one or more mobile devices. An action is then performed based upon at least one of the determined changes in status for each of the one or more mobile devices.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9172728
    Abstract: Systems and methods of operating a communication session control server. A first communication session initiation message is received from a first communication terminal, the first communication session initiation message indicating a second communication terminal with which the first communication terminal is requesting a communication session. A second communication session initiation message is sent to the second communication terminal, the second communication session initiation message indicating a delay to be used by the second communication terminal to determine when to initiate an alerting process.

  • Patent number: 8208968
    Abstract: Where a separate bearer channel is required to be set up in a mobile network to complete a hybrid VoIP call on the mobile network as specified in 3GPP ICS standard TR 23.892, an alerting process may be started after a provisionable delay rather than upon completion of the network call setup. This allows the mobile network user to start responding to the impending call before signaling of the call has been completed, so that the person can answer closer in time to completion of call signaling. Additionally, the person who placed the call may be provided with ringing feedback to make it sound like the call has been completed. The amount of delay between receipt of a SIP invite and the onset of an alerting process may be specified in the mobile handset or may be specified as a header in the SIP invite. The amount of delay may be fixed or adjusted based on feedback.
