  • USER-CONTROLLED TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS
    Publication number: 20080045186
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods that enable an end user to control the parameters, behavior, and identity of network communications regardless of the limitations placed upon these controls by the end user's communications device or communications service provider. An intermediate media proxy resides on a telecommunications network and accepts inbound and outbound communications to and from a network communication device. The intermediate media proxy functions as an intermediary for network communications that occur between the network communications device and other network communications devices. In this manner, the intermediate media proxy can control various features of the communications independent of limitations enacted by the end user's communications device or communications service provider.
