  • Patent number: 11870776
    Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus, including a program encoded on computer-readable medium, for routing communications to a mobile device includes registering a cellular telephone identifier with a visitor location register associated with a bridge mobile switching center adapted to receive communication through a cellular backbone network and route communications over a packet-switched network and determining that cellular communications using the cellular telephone identifier are disabled. A home location register associated with the cellular telephone is notified that the cellular telephone is roaming in a network served by the visitor location register. A communication directed to the cellular telephone is received at the bridge mobile switching center. The received communication is routed to the cellular telephone.

  • Patent number: 11051350
    Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus, including a program encoded on computer-readable medium, for transmitting data to a server. A wireless communication connection is established between a first computing device and a second computing device. Data transmitted from the first computing device to the second computing device is received over the wireless communication connection and stored on the second computing device for uploading to a server on an IP based network. The wireless communication connection is disconnected. An IP communication connection is established between the second computing device and the server on the IP based network, and at least a portion of the stored data is transmitted from the second computing device to the server on the IP based network over the IP communication connection after the wireless communication connection between the first computing device and the second computing device is disconnected.

  • Patent number: 10230726
    Abstract: A system for verifying an association between an application and a mobile computing device. The application is identified by an application instance identifier, which uniquely identifies the instance of the application on the mobile computing device. The system receives a request to verify the application, including the application instance identifier. The system also obtains a mobile device identifier used to communicate with the mobile computing device. The system initiates one or more telephone call setup messages, which signal a voice call request, to the mobile computing device using the mobile device identifier. Based on receiving an indication that the one or more telephone call setup messages were detected at the mobile computing device, the system associates the application instance identifier with the mobile device identifier.

  • Publication number: 20170163811
    Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus, including a program encoded on computer-readable medium, for providing ring notifications in parallel to a primary incoming call are disclosed. An example method can include receiving, at a server system, a notification of a primary incoming call directed to a subscriber telephone number associated with a user device, notifying, by the server system, one or more secondary destinations of the primary incoming call based on the notification, sending, from the server system, an instruction to perform one or more operations to trigger forwarding of the primary incoming call to a telephone number associated with the server system, wherein the instruction is only sent after notifying the one or more secondary destinations of the primary incoming call, receiving the forwarded incoming call at the server system, and connecting, by the server system, the forwarded incoming call to a particular secondary destination.
