Patent number: 10511557Abstract: A telecommunication and multimedia management apparatus and method that supports voice and other media communications and that enables users to: (i) participate in multiple conversation modes, including live phone calls, conference calls, instant voice messaging or tactical communications; (ii) review the messages of conversations in either a live mode or a time-shifted mode and to seamlessly transition back and forth between the two modes; (iii) participate in multiple conversations either concurrently or simultaneously; (iv) archive the messages of conversations for later review or processing; and (v) persistently store media either created or received on the communication devices of users. The latter feature enables users to generate or review media when either disconnected from the network or network conditions are poor and to optimize the delivery of media over the network based on network conditions and the intention of the users participating in conversations.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2018Date of Patent: December 17, 2019Assignee: VOXER IP LLCInventors: Thomas E. Katis, James T. Panttaja, Mary G. Panttaja, Matthew J. Ranney

Publication number: 20190280998Abstract: A system and method for the late-binding of time-based media in real-time. With late binding, the sender may create time-based media before or at the same time an active delivery route to the recipient is discovered. As soon as the route becomes available, the media is transmitted. The existing DNS and email infrastructure is possibly used for route discovery, while any real-time transmission protocol may be used for the actual delivery of the media. “Progressive” emails may also be used for the real-time delivery of time-based media.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 28, 2019Publication date: September 12, 2019Inventors: Thomas E. KATIS, James T. PANTTAJA, Mary G. PANTTAJA, Matthew J. RANNEY

Patent number: 10375139Abstract: A method of enabling communication over a network by maintaining a server on a network and receiving a request at the server from a user of a communication device. In response to the request, a communication application is downloading over the network to the communication device. The communication application enabling the user to participate in a conversation on the communication device in either (i) a real-time mode or (ii) a time-shifted mode and (iii) to seamlessly transition the conversation between the two modes (i) and (ii).Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2017Date of Patent: August 6, 2019Assignee: VOXER IP LLCInventors: Thomas E. Katis, James T. Panttaja, Mary G. Panttaja, Matthew J. Ranney
