  • Patent number: 7031449
    Abstract: A method for providing a call log entry for a transferred call is described. A subscriber using a subscriber terminal calls a first telephone number associated with a first party. The first party transfers the subscriber to a second party associated with a second telephone number. The first party sends the subscriber terminal a data message indicating that a call was transferred to the second telephone number. The data message contains the second telephone number and a time stamp indicating a time that the call was connected. As a result, the call log contains a call log entry for the call connected between the subscriber and the second party.

  • Patent number: 6912545
    Abstract: A location-code system provides user-specific location codes corresponding to locations. A user can provision the codes. When the user accesses a location-based service, the user can then provide the service with a location code. The service, perhaps with the assistance of a location-code provider, can then translate the user-specific location code into location coordinates that can be used to facilitate a location-based service. Further, the location-code system can provide global, or generic, location-codes for particular locations, which any user can use as a basis to indicate a location.
