Abstract: Methods and systems for replaying buffered audio of a telephone call are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method for replaying buffered audio of a telephone call, comprises buffering audio data associated with a telephone call when a quality of an established data connection decreases below a first threshold quality measure; playing the buffered audio data from the buffer; determining the quality of the established data connection exceeds a second threshold quality measure; and replaying the audio data from the buffer, wherein replaying the audio comprises modifying the playback rate of the buffered audio data during playback.

Abstract: Methods and systems for enabling delivery of media content are provided herein. In some embodiments a method for enabling delivery of media content, comprises receiving a first message from a user device associated with a first subscriber of a telephony service provider to establish a real time communication session with a content service, wherein the first message includes a first subscriber identifier and information identifying the content to be streamed, determining that the first subscriber is authorized to access the content, and sending a second message directed to a second subscriber identifier associated with the content service to establish the real time communication session between the user device and the content service, wherein the real time communication session is established to begin streaming the content.

Abstract: Methods and systems for intelligently managing and controlling mobile devices are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method for intelligently managing and controlling mobile devices includes receiving information regarding activity performed on a child device, and determining a management and control action to associate with the activity based on (a) the activity performed and (b) previous user behavior patterns associated with the child device, wherein the management and control action includes at least one of notifying at least one parent device of the activity performed or directly controlling the activity of the child device.

Abstract: Systems and methods for selectively managing access to message content at a first display terminal are configured to display one or more messages collectively defining an exchange between a user of the first display terminal and a user of a second display terminal. The method determines, by a processor, that secure display processing should be used on at least one message of the exchange at the first display terminal, and displays message content of one or more messages of the exchange while concealing message content of the at least one message. In an embodiment, a successfully authenticated user or one who presents a required decryption code is able to view all any portion of an exchange, such as the at least one message in the context of a plurality of messages comprising a conversation.
