Patent number: 8938062Abstract: Service resource items for use in call setup in a telephone system are held on servers that are connected to a computer network which is logically distinct from the telephone system infrastructure; this computer network may, for example, make use of the Internet. Each service item is locatable on the network at a corresponding URI and is associated with a particular telephone number. A mapping is provided between telephone numbers and the URIs of associated service resource items. When it is desired to access a service resource item associated with a particular telephone number, this mapping is used to retrieve the corresponding URI which is then used to access the desired service resource item.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2012Date of Patent: January 20, 2015Assignee: Comcast IP Holdings I, LLCInventors: Colin Low, Andrew Franklin Seaborne, Nicolas Bouthors

Patent number: 7493285Abstract: The invention concerns payment for transmission and/or service operations within a data packet transmission network (4) (improvement in payment token technology). According to the invention, between the source unit (S) and the destination unit (D), at least one node is used as a cache node (NC) and also behaves like a debit node. It includes a debit gateway (PD) modifying the payment token assigned to each data packet received, so as to reduce the initial value of the payment token, by an amount representing the cost of the at least one cache operation carried out, for the packet received, by the cache node. A manager of said at least one cache node receives from the toll center, for each packet received during the session, the financial settlement of the representative amount and restores it to a manager of said at least one replaced unit or node, or allows a manager of said at least one replaced unit or node to receive the financial settlement directly.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2001Date of Patent: February 17, 2009Assignee: Cegetel GroupeInventor: Nicolas Bouthors
