Patent number: 10115135Abstract: A system and method which overcome the limitations of online charging systems which do not natively support redirection functionality. In an embodiment of the invention a SCIM provides the added redirection functionality to online charging systems which do not natively support redirection functionality. The SCIM supports redirection of a user session to a process application in a manner which allows the user to easily continue with the activity the user was engaged. If selected criteria are met the SCIM can update credit control answers (CCA) with redirection information to redirect the session to an application.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2013Date of Patent: October 30, 2018Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: Shlomo Livne, Vladimir Furman, Renana Seidman, Tzach Livyatan

Patent number: 8954559Abstract: Systems and methods provide unified playing of announcements across different network interfaces. A system to extend an IMS SCIM to enable application servers using MSCML to play announcements to execute on WIN (CDMA) networks include an application server, including IMS applications. The system includes a SCIM to manage communication between call parties and the applications. In a CDMA network, which an open dialogue the SCIM is configured to respond to the IMS applications that then can play the announcement, receive a second message which indicates the announcement to play from the IMS applications, buffer the announcement indicated, and respond with a message to the IMS applications as if the announcements have been played.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2012Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Shlomo Livne, Dima Polsky, Vladimir Furman, Renana Seidman, Tali Ben-Meir, Nadav Kadosh, Tzach Livyatan

Patent number: 8949441Abstract: In accordance with various embodiments, systems and methods that improve communication with a media server are provided. Such a system can include a plurality of applications, executing on one or more application servers. The system can also include a media server which is operable to play announcements requested by the plurality of applications to one or more parties in a call; and a SCIM. The SCIM is operable to buffer requests from the plurality of applications to play the announcements. When an application in a chain of applications requests that an announcement be played to a party, the SCIM can buffer the request, communicate with each remaining application in the chain of applications and buffer any requests to play an additional announcement to the party, open a connection to the media server, and instruct the media server to play each announcement associated with each buffered request.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2012Date of Patent: February 3, 2015Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Shlomo Livne, Dima Polsky, Vladimir Furman, Renana Seidman, Sigal Dina, Avi Zohary, Yoel Amram, Amnon Heiman, Nadav Kadosh, Tzach Livyatan

Patent number: 8924557Abstract: In accordance with various embodiments, systems and methods that integrate threshold management into a SCIM/Service Broker are provided. Such a system can include a plurality of applications, executing on one or more application servers. The system can also include a SCIM/Service Broker which is operable to manage a threshold set by the applications. Each application can determine an application threshold, a current threshold and a met threshold. When an application receives a message from the SCIM/Service Broker, the application can determine if the met threshold exists and, if the met threshold exists, update the application threshold accordingly. The application can also determine if the application threshold has been met, and if the application threshold has been met, execute business logic associated with the application threshold and set a new application threshold. The application sends a request to SCIM/Service Broker requesting a new current threshold value be set.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2012Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Shlomo Livne, Dima Polsky, Vladimir Furman, Renana Seidman, Avi Zohary, Yoel Amram, Amnon Heiman, Nadav Kadosh, Tzach Livyatan
