Abstract: Method, device, and storage medium for logging on to a network that provides a streaming service for content pertaining to video cameras located at customers' premises; attempting to receive streaming content from a video camera located at a customer's premises based on one of a request to open a port on a routing device located at the customer's premises or a request to open a pinhole on a routing device located at a location remote to the customer's premises; and determining whether a success or a failure occurred as to receiving the streaming content from the video camera located at the customer's premises.

Abstract: An exemplary system and method are directed to processing dial strings. A dial plan may be parsed into a plurality of expressions, each including at least one expression element. A rule associated the at least one expression element may be identified and added to an array of a finite state machine. Upon receiving a digit input, a match result indicating whether the digit input matched a corresponding expression element of each expression is determined based on the applicable rule. Expressions may be removed from consideration based on the match result. Digit inputs may continue to be received and match results may be determined based on successive expressions until either a match is determined or no further expressions are available for consideration. The match status may be reported based on the match result.

Abstract: A system and method for remotely controlling a camera may include a telephony device communicatively coupled to a data network. The telephony device comprises at least one module adapted to generate a control signal in response to receiving a user command associated with dialing of an emergency telephone number. A camera may be adapted to start capturing images in response of receiving the control signal.

Abstract: An exemplary system and method are directed t receiving a dial plan. The dial plan is parsed into a plurality of expressions. Then there is a determination of at least one expression element for each of the plurality of expressions. A rule is associated with the at least one expression element and the rule is added to an array of a finite state machine. A digit input is received. A match result is determined indicating whether the digit input matches a corresponding expression element of each expression available for consideration based on the applicable rule. Expressions are selectively removed from consideration based on the applicable rule.
