  • Patent number: 8832304
    Abstract: Subscription notifications are provided by receiving a request from a subscriber to register a subscription, the request identifying (i) a topic, (ii) a protocol corresponding to a first adaptor and supported by the subscriber, and (iii) a parameter associated with the protocol. The request is validated based on the parameter, and subscription data is stored. The subscription data is organized as a hierarchical data structure including a plurality of topics and sub-topics, each of the topics and sub-topics being associated with one or more subscribers and adaptors. A message to be published for a topic is received from a publisher. A plurality of adaptors, which correspond to a plurality of protocols, respectively, to be used for the topic is identified in the subscription data. A plurality of notifications corresponding to the message is published by the plurality of adaptors using the plurality of protocols, respectively.

  • Patent number: 8805714
    Abstract: A processor aggregates communications data received from one or more data sources via a communications network. The processor associates the aggregated communications data with supplemental data. The associated communications data is correlated based on temporal data, a tag, a query, and/or a command. A graphical user interface (GUI) is formatted based on the correlated communications data. The formatted GUI is provided to a display device.

  • Patent number: 8767942
    Abstract: Broadcasting data streams to telephony devices via talk paths, wherein audio data streams are muted based on connection states of each of the plurality of talk paths. Each telephony device sends an input audio data stream to a media server via a respective talk path. The media server combines input audio data streams received from the telephony devices to generate output audio data streams for sending to the telephony devices via the respective talk paths. For each telephony device, a determination is made as to whether to mute the respective output audio data stream. The determination is based on connection states of each of the talk paths.

  • Patent number: 8599834
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for manual ring-down communication using Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). A first SIP user agent transmits a message to a second SIP user agent over an Internet Protocol (IP) network to establish a SIP session. The first SIP user agent determines that a signal key associated with a first communication device has been selected and transmits, to the second SIP user agent over the IP network, a start event message to cause a second communication device to activate an alert. The first SIP user agent determines that the signal key has been released and transmits over the IP network an end event message to deactivate the alert. The first SIP user agent transmits, to the second SIP user agent over the IP network, one or more subsequent INVITE messages at a predetermined repetition rate to refresh the SIP session.

  • Patent number: 7904056
    Abstract: Apparatus, method and system are provided for recording and reproducing audio channel signals. A processor captures the audio channel signals communicated through communication channels over a network. A circular buffer configured to store the audio channel signals captured by the processor, such that when the end of the circular buffer is reached the storing starts at a beginning of the circular buffer, is also included. An actuator actuates the processor to copy the audio channel signals stored in the circular buffer into a temporary buffer and cause the processor to reproduce the audio channel signals stored in the temporary buffer.
