Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates enhancing connectivity associated with data communications. An interface can receive a portion of communication state data, wherein the communication state data is related to at least one of a data communication mode and a user context state. A routing component can evaluate the portion of communication state data to identify an optimized data communication mode, wherein the optimized data communication mode is dynamically linked to a virtual contact identifier. Moreover, the routing component can automatically and seamlessly employ an optimized communication session utilizing the dynamically identified optimized data communication mode based upon an activation of the virtual contact identifier.

Abstract: A system, method, apparatus, and computer-readable medium are provided for completing e-commerce transactions over a P2P communications channel. According to one method, a secure P2P communications channel is established between a buyer node and a seller node. A request to perform an e-commerce transaction is transmitted from the buyer node to the seller node. In response to the request, a third-party clearinghouse is added to the P2P communications channel. Once the clearinghouse has been added to the P2P communications channel, a request is transmitted to the clearinghouse over the P2P communications channel to charge an account associated with the buyer node. The clearinghouse charges an account associated with the buyer node for the purchase. The clearinghouse also transmits a confirmation over the P2P communications channel indicating that the charge has been completed.

Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides a system and/or a method that facilitates enhancing incoming data communication connectivity within a network. An analyzer component can evaluate a portion of an incoming data communication targeted for a network to identify a context associated with the data communication. A transfer component can direct the incoming data communication to a cluster within the network based at least in part upon the identified context, wherein the cluster includes a physical entity with pre-existing knowledge of the identified context.

Abstract: A system that facilitates aggregation of devices for a multimedia communication session (e.g., voice, video, audio, graphics) is disclosed. In particular, the innovation can automatically separate a multimedia input into individual streams thereafter facilitating the selection of appropriate devices for which to render the input so as to maintain the multimedia communication experience. Logic is provided to assist in the selection the devices from a network of user-available devices.

Abstract: An interactive audio/visual demonstration system for connection to a telephone system, comprising an audio/visual unit connected to an interface circuit. The interface circuit decodes DTMF tones received from the audio/visual unit and in response causes implementation of one or more special features in the telephone system. The interface circuit is preferably connected to an audio track of a video tape recorder, and to the telephone system, such as a PABX, in order to implement a highly interactive video tape presentation in response to a video tape being played on the video tape recorder. The interface circuit is of simple construction and hence durable and inexpensive.
