Abstract: Methods and systems in a telecommunications network for dynamically providing calling party information to a called party from a calling party. A transfer of calling party information can be initiated from the calling party to the called party utilizing a caller identification mechanism in communication with one or more customer premise equipment devices associated with the telecommunications network. Thereafter, the calling party information can be dynamically displayed for the called party via the caller identification mechanism on a display screen of the customer premise equipment device, thereby permitting the called party to take action regarding the calling party information independent of prior or current telecommunications activities. The calling party information can be stored in a memory location for later retrieval by the called party if the called party does not immediately respond to the transfer of calling party information from the calling party to the called party.

Abstract: Apparatus and a method for requesting establishment of a virtual connection for transmitting voice signals over a packet network. In response to operation of a soft button, the signaling messages for establishing a pre-specified point-to-point connection, conference connection or one-way conference connection are automatically generated. Advantageously, complex pre-specified connections can be established in response to the operation of a soft button.

Abstract: The distributed network application management system provides distributed data processing services in a data communication network environment. This system dynamically allocates resources to a processing request that is received from a user application device that has limited processing capabilities using application modules that are machine-independent and network independent to thereby process the received request in the network, yet in a manner that appears to be implemented on the user application device. The distributed network application management system is implemented in a network environment using a kernel that represents the network protocol and the effective processor is dynamically created in the network as capacity becomes available. The applications in this system are distributed via the network without meta code being written for the application.
