  • Screening of calls in a packet-based network
    Patent number: 8000462
    Abstract: In a remote management messenger system (RMMS), a method for screening a packet-based call originated from a caller via a caller telecommunication device (CTD) to a receiver telecommunication device (RTD) via the RMMS. The method includes activating, if a receiver associated with the RTD does not respond to the packet-based call within a predetermined time period, an answering-and-recording function (ARF) associated with the RMMS to enable the ARF to receive and record packets pertaining to the packet-based call while permitting the receiver to continue to hear the caller. The method also includes, if the receiver responds to the packet-based call after the ARF is activated, permitting the receiver to continue the packet-based call with the caller.
