Patent number: 8144842Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2006Date of Patent: March 27, 2012Assignee: Microsoft CorporationInventors: Michael Geoffrey Andrew Wilson, Clifford Didcock, David Andrew Howell

Patent number: 7003319Abstract: 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).Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 1999Date of Patent: February 21, 2006Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Stephen Andrew Howell, Nigel Everard Barnes

Publication number: 20030002457Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2002Publication date: January 2, 2003Inventors: James E. Womack, Mark Pecen, Andrew Howell
