Patent number: 8681971Abstract: An intelligent interactive call handling system is provided that typically includes a central office, a call-handling device, and an internet call routing system. The central office typically triggers a query responsive to receiving a call request. The call-handling device is coupled to the central office, receives the query, and triggers an internet call routing query. The internet call routing system, which is coupled to the call-handling device, typically receives the internet call routing query, determines presence of the called party with respect to at least one registered communication device, sends a prompt to the called party at said at least one registered communication device responsive to the presence determination, receives a reply from said at least one registered communication device, and routes the call responsive to the reply. Methods and other systems are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2012Date of Patent: March 25, 2014Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Larry G. Kent, Jr., W.

Patent number: 8180038Abstract: A rule-based intelligent call forwarding system is provided that typically includes a central office, a service control point, and an internet call routing system. The central office typically triggers a query responsive to receiving a call request. The service control point, which is coupled to the central office, receives the query, and triggers an internet call routing query. The internet call routing system, which is coupled to the service control point, typically receives the internet call routing query, determines presence of the called party with respect to a registered communication device, parses rules associated with the called party, and terminates the call request responsive to the rules parsing and presence determination. Methods and other systems are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2009Date of Patent: May 15, 2012Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Larry G. Kent, Jr., W.

Patent number: 7945030Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for accessing messages in one communication system by another communication system. In some embodiments, a request to access data is received from a second communication system. The data is located at a first communication system. The first communication system is configured to communicate using a first standard communication protocol, while the second communication system is configured to communicate using a second standard communication protocol. The received request is converted to a command of the first standard communication protocol. Using the command, the data at the first communication system is accessed.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2007Date of Patent: May 17, 2011Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Mary S. Arnoff, Dale W. Malik
