Abstract: A communications system includes an adapter, an internet access device and a mobile device. The adapter is linked to a telephone network or a broadband internet network and configured to transceive voice data via the telephone network or the broadband internet network, perform data conversion between the voice data and corresponding internet protocol packets, and transceive the internet protocol packets. The internet access device is linked to the adapter and configured to make the adapter access an internet network. The mobile device is linked to the internet access device via the internet network and configured to transceive the internet protocol packets via the internet network. Communications between the adapter and the mobile device may be therefore established.

Abstract: Systems and methods for migrating an email conversation to an instant message (IM) chat session are provided herein. Exemplary methods include receiving an email request from an email client via one or more email servers, the email request having the email conversation and an address that initiates an action to instantiate the IM chat session of an IM service; identifying a sender and recipients from the email request; verifying that the sender is authorized to create the IM chat session and that the recipients are authorized to participate in the IM chat session; transmitting an IM request to the IM service via an IM server to establish the IM chat session, wherein the IM service invites the sender and the recipients when the IM chat session is created; and maintaining the IM chat session for responding parties.

Abstract: A method, computer program, and system for augmenting communications protocols. Communications are received with which at least one protocol is determined to be associated. The at least one protocol may be configured to control at least one of the communications. Parameters associated with the at least one protocol are identified. In turn, at least one rule is accessed that is based on the at least one protocol and the parameters. Subsequently, a user is provided with at least one communications-control option according to the at least one rule.

Abstract: Multiple characteristics of an signal are measured to determine the presence of an alert tone on an incoming signal to a customer premises equipment (CPE) in preparation for receipt of FSK modem signals. The apparatus, method, and article of manufacture discern the presence of an alert tone by measuring characteristics of the incoming signal. The alert tone is able to be discerned even under crosstalk conditions and over a wide dynamic range with the digital signal processing (DSP) method and apparatus described. Multiple characteristics of the signal are measured to determine the presence of the alert tone.

Abstract: A data processor, such as a digital signal processor, that has augmented memory, I/O and math units for real-time performance of complex functions, is placed under the control of a group of abstract object-oriented modules arranged with an underlying operational nucleus that includes a real-time kernel. The modules are hierarchically configured, with the lowest being an array object type that references memory allocations. A stream object type, based on the arrays, defines channels between application software and data devices. A vector object type, also based on the arrays, establishes structure within allocated blocks and also enables vector math functions to be undertaken by the vector module. Matrix and filter object types utilize the arrays and vectors in sequences controlled by the corresponding matrix and vector modules.

Abstract: An all digital feature based pattern recognition tone detection system distinguishes one or more tones from speech or other background noise and provides extremely reliable, low cost DTMF tone detection. The system includes a digital signal processing system which uses a modified PARCOR signal analysis technique to efficiently calculate inverse filter coefficients defining in functional form a smoothed LPC spectrum from a received frame of digital pulse code data. A Fourier transform provides high resolution evaluation of the LPC data at frequencies of interest to permit evaluation of the spectral response in accordance with known features of an expected tone signal.
