Abstract: A system and method of providing an assignable registration between a device and a user for IP telephony, wireless telephony and other forms of collaborative systems is provided wherein loss of association is detected and a policy language is used to capture and execute user preferences in the event of such loss. A method and system are also provided for utilizing coupling between a thin client and a telephone to provide for device association.

Abstract: Described are a system and method of presenting electronic information from an interactive response system to a user communications device. The interactive response system determines a trusted communication service for exchanging the electronic information with the user communications device. First electronic information is presented in a first communication mode from the interactive response system to the user communications device. Second electronic information is presented in at least one second communication mode to the user communications device by the trusted communication service.

Abstract: A telephony apparatus connectable to a communication network and printed circuit board are provided. The telephony apparatus includes a package having a telephone footprint and comprising at least one connector to the communication network; a thin client device housed within the package, the thin client device connectable to a thin client display and a thin client input device; a stimulus telephony device housed within the package, the stimulus telephony device comprising a telephony display and telephony input device, the stimulus telephony device connectable to an audio input device; and the thin client device and the stimulus telephony device are further connectable to the communication network via the at least one connector.

Abstract: A system for generating user availability information from call control events within a telephone system, comprising an Event Queue for receiving and storing call control events from the telephone system, and an Interpretation Engine for accessing the call control events in the Event Queue and in response updating a running sum for the user based on availability evidence ascribed to the call control events, and generating an indication of user availability based on the running sum.

Abstract: A system is provided for automatic feature enablement on the basis of a user's current location, in order to enable the most appropriate set of features. The system is implemented within a tuple space for allowing communication among system components. A location service is provided for tracking the location of a user. Policy daemons are created which contain user specified policies to select appropriate feature sets depending on the user's location. An interface is provided for specifying user preferences for features depending on location. Finally, a basic PBX feature architecture is used which consists of a database to hold individual user feature selections as a set of tuples and a call processing system which uses these feature selections.

Abstract: A method is provided for tracking the physical location of IP phones and IP devices in a network. According to the invention, the IP phone or IP device detects its own current location and then informs the PBX controller or the location database to which it is connected. The capability is integrated in every IP phone and IP device. The PBX or location database then takes appropriate action, such as updating the ALI mapping for the phone or location information for the IP device.
