  • Publication number: 20130159126
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for enabling a coordinated event among a plurality of user locations, in which each user location is located geographically separate from all other user locations. The coordinated event comprises a substantially synchronous rendering of a predetermined and common digital media stream at each user location. In one embodiment, the method requires that each user location identify its own personal independent source of the common digital media stream. The method then causes each user location's personal independent source of the common digital media stream to render the common digital media stream at the corresponding user location. The method then synchronizes the renderings of the common digital media stream at each user location regardless of and agnostic to each user location's personal independent source thereof.

  • Patent number: 7280543
    Abstract: A method of processing OAM messages by network elements in a communications network is described. Elements in the network are provided with configuration information respecting OAM messages together with connection signaling upon setting up a call through the network. Each network element interprets the OAM messages and derives therefrom configuration information for use in executing an OAM function.

  • Publication number: 20040236800
    Abstract: A communication network having a network management system with a backup server adapted to create backup schedule for new nodes or nodes leaving the system. The new nodes are added when the network manager informs the backup server of the new node or the removal of a node from the system and requests that a backup schedule be created therefor. The backup schedule created for the new node is based on current backup policy.

  • Publication number: 20040233857
    Abstract: A method and system for displaying a node of a communication network on a network management map. The geographical location of the node is determined by a positioning device such as GPS (or equivalent) device and stored in the home information of the node. The node is displayed in a position on the network management map in accordance with the geographical location. The GPS device may be located in the node or merely used to determine the longitude and latitude positions of the node which are then stored in the longitude and latitude fields of the node.
