  • Patent number: 8744442
    Abstract: An apparatus, and an associated methodology, for identifying to a circuit-switch-connected mobile station with an indication of packet-service capabilities available to a mobile station. A message generator at the network generates a message that includes an indication of the network-entity capabilities with respect to packet communications. A field of the message identifies the packet-service capabilities. A message is sent by the network and detected by a detector of the mobile station. A report is formed indicative of the value contained in the delivered message, and a user display displays an indication of the detected information.

  • Patent number: 8144842
    Abstract: A Unified Messaging (UM) gateway device located at a branch office of a UM system manages calls if the network connecting the branch office to a UM server of the UM system is unavailable. The UM gateway device contains relatively simple hardware and software as compared to the hardware and software of a UM server. The UM gateway device provides call answering functionality, in the absence of the UM server. In various configurations, the UM gateway device provides access to mailboxes, manages incoming calls, provides an outgoing message (e.g., an announcement or prompt), provides an indication where the called-for person can be reached, and, when the network becomes available, returns management of incoming calls to the UM server and/or handles incoming calls in conjunction with the Unified Messaging server.

  • Patent number: 7693267
    Abstract: Improved systems and methods are provided for transcribing audio files of voice mails sent over a unified messaging system. Customized grammars specific to a voice mail recipient are created and utilized to transcribe a received voice mail by comparing the audio file to commonly utilized words, names, acronyms, and phrases used by the recipient. Key elements are identified from the resulting text transcription to aid the recipient in processing received voice mails based on the significant content contained in the voice mail.

  • Patent number: 7106711
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for cell reselection during transmission of data between a mobile station and a network through a first cell of a plurality of cells, each of the plurality of cells defining a corresponding radio coverage area. A control stack (305) organizes the data within frames during the transmission of data, and an adjustment module (324) adjusts a size of the frames prior to detection that a second cell of the plurality of cells is a candidate for reselection.

  • Patent number: 7003319
    Abstract: A cellular telephone (102) in a vehicle includes a data carrier system comprising a first semi-permanent Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) (200) selectively couplable to the cellular telephone (102) and a second SIM (300) selectively couplable to the cellular telephone (102) in preference to the first SIM (200), the first SIM (200) being arranged to be decoupled from the cellular telephone (102) when the second SIM (300) is coupled to the cellular telephone (102). During a predetermined period of time, the cellular telephone (102) is arranged to be ensured of a supply of power and the second SIM (300) is arranged to be decoupled from the cellular telephone (102), thereby causing the first SIM (200) to be coupled to the cellular telephone (102) for the execution of a task requiring the first SIM (200).

  • Publication number: 20030002457
    Abstract: A communication system for exchanging session initiation protocol signaling messages between a user host associated with a wireless communication device, and a remote user host, through a network, and method therefor. A multiplexer module positioned within the wireless communication device multiplexes call control data, session initiation protocol commands, and packet data setup and status transmitted between the wireless communication device and the network. A control module located in the multiplexer determines whether a packet associated control channel has been set up, and, in response to the packet associated control channel not being set up, the multiplexer module utilizes a slow dedicated control channel for transmitting signaling associated with requesting a packet associated control channel for transmitting the session initiation protocol commands.
