  • Publication number: 20140250074
    Abstract: Systems and methods that enable removal of data from an endpoint, while not propagating such removal to other endpoints when synchronizing data sources associated therewith. A designation component can indicate items as forgotten items, wherein such items are being known to an endpoint and deleted therefrom—yet, reintroduced therein and reappearing (e.g., as a create) upon re-synchronizing with the replica over again. Moreover, the forgotten items can employ additional metadata such as in from of an additional bit that indicates whether an item is a forgotten item.

  • Patent number: 8826267
    Abstract: A method characterized by association of object elements to operational modes is adapted for use during installation or runtime of a software package. In an example embodiment, the software package includes objects and object behaviors, wherein a particular object has at least two different object behaviors associated with the particular object, and wherein different object behaviors are each associated with a different operational mode. The example method includes accepting a signal from a user input device to specify an operational mode in a target system for the software package and determining an object behavior that is associated with the specified operational mode. In one implementation, the determined behavior is installed in the target system while at least one other object behavior that is not associated with the specified operational mode is not installed in the target system.

  • Patent number: 8824454
    Abstract: A system and method that routes special number calls from communications devices, including VoIP communications devices, to an answering point that is selected based on a parameter. A peering network effects parameter-based routing of calls to a pre-assigned answering point, wherein the voice path and the signaling paths are set up simultaneously. A gateway in the peering network is connected to the service provider switch and receives special number calls. The gateway queries a pre-provisioned parameter server that determines call routing information for the particular communications device. The gateway then selects another gateway, or, optionally, a selective router access provider network, based on the routing information and delivers the call thereto. The other gateway or selective router access provider network is connected to a router in the destination network and delivers the call and the call parameters to the router.

  • Publication number: 20140244249
    Abstract: Identification of an intent of a conversation can be useful for real-time or post-processing purposes. According to example embodiments, a method, and corresponding apparatus of identifying at least one intent-bearing utterance in a conversation, comprises determining at least one feature for each utterance among a subset of utterances of the conversation; classifying each utterance among the subset of utterances, using a classifier, as an intent classification or a non-intent classification based at least in part on a subset of the at least one determined feature; and selecting at least one utterance, with intent classification, as an intent-bearing utterance based at least in part on classification results by the classifier. Through identification of an intent bearing utterance, a call center for example, can provide improved service for callers through, for example, more effective directing of a call to a live agent.
