Patent number: 9569333Abstract: A method and system for processing recorded communications over a network provides a communication via a network to a recording server adapted for hosting a recordable meeting. The recording server includes a processor with a memory and communicates with the network and an identification code is provided for the recordable meeting along with text related to the communication, which is stored in data storage of the recording server. At least one pointer can be inserted during or after the meeting is recorded, forming a recorded meeting with at least one pointer mapped to the text of the recorded meeting. The recorded meeting with at least one pointer is then saved into the data storage that can be accessed by an interested user.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2005Date of Patent: February 14, 2017Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property II, L.P.Inventors: David Crawford Gibbon, Lee Begeja, Karrie Hanson, Zhu Liu, Bernard S.

Patent number: 7917527Abstract: A system for personalizing communication between origination devices and destination devices based on intelligent information searches and retrievals of historical interaction data on networks includes a user module adapted to displaying information to the origination device for identifying individuals or groups of individuals and historical interaction data. The system includes a processing module adapted to query a server system in response to commands from a user of the origination device. The query requests historical interaction data relating to the individual or group of individuals and can identify the individual or group using the historical interaction data from the server system. An information receipt and display module displays historical interaction data received from the server system, including the specifically requested historical interaction data. A communication module connects the origination device to the destination device using the information data from the server system.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2005Date of Patent: March 29, 2011Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property II, L.P.Inventors: Mazin Gilbert, Gerald Karam, Karrie Hanson, Giuseppe Di Fabbrizio
