  • Methods, systems, and computer program products for session initiation protocol (SIP) fast switchover
    Patent number: 8051189
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods, systems, and computer program products for notifying a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) entity of a fast switchover event. According to one method a first SIP entity having an active host and a standby host is provided. At the active host a SUBSCRIBE message is received from a second SIP entity for subscribing to a fast switchover notification service. The standby host is switched to an active mode. In response to switching the standby host to active mode, a NOTIFY message is sent to the second SIP entity for notifying the second SIP entity that the standby host is operating in active mode.

  • Methods, systems, and computer program products for providing call waiting and caller ID and for toggling between active and waiting calls using session initiation protocol (SIP)
    Patent number: 7616752
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for providing caller ID and call waiting and for switching or toggling between active and waiting calls using SIP are disclosed. According to one method, a first call is established between a first phone and a SIP termination. The first call is established using the first media connection between the SIP termination and a media gateway and a second media connection between the media gateway and the first phone. During the first call, signaling for establishing a second call to SIP termination is received. In response to the signaling, caller ID information for the second call is communicated to the SIP termination. A hook flash is received from the SIP termination. In response to the hook flash, the SIP termination is connected to the second phone using the first media connection and a third media connection between the media gateway and the second phone.
