Patent number: 11627220Abstract: A call reminder functionality is provided by an arrangement that is operable with a network-enabled communication device in which a reminder to return a phone call can be generated in an automated manner upon the occurrence of a call event. When the call event occurs, an option is displayed on a user interface (“UI”) on the device to create a link between the call and the user's schedule application. If the user selects the option, a callback task is added to the user's task list maintained by the schedule application, and a reminder to make the callback is generated and then displayed on the UI at a future time. The reminder includes pertinent call information and also includes a button that enables the user to place the callback through the UI (i.e., a “one-click call back”).Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2022Date of Patent: April 11, 2023Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Ori Kaplan, Guy Weintraub, Guy Merin, Elad Ziklik

Patent number: 8515418Abstract: A client for inclusion in a mobile telephony apparatus barred from international roaming usage, to allow roaming operation thereof according to conditions determined at a home network, the client being configured with: an activation unit configured to switch said client between active and passive states, and a call control unit, operative in said active state, to communicate with a predetermined node at said home network, to facilitate control of said mobile telephony apparatus using said home network determined conditions. There is also provided a server component at the home network to support the client. The system allows CAMEL type services when a prepaid roaming user is roaming in a non-CAMEL enabled network, and even allows these services to be provided when the home network lacks CAMEL enablement.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2007Date of Patent: August 20, 2013Assignee: StarHome GmbHInventors: Guy Weintraub, Shai Ophir, Ory Biran, Derek McElhinney, Itzhak Ben-Yehuda

Patent number: 8204500Abstract: Apparatus and method for management of optimal voicemail deposit to the voicemail of a currently roaming mobile telephony user during late call forwarding, is located at the user's home network and includes a disconnection unit for disconnecting an international link upon detection of late call forwarding; a triggering unit that ensures that a trigger signal is available for triggering the passing of control of the call to allow direct forwarding of the caller to the voicemail; and a direct forwarding unit that receives the control and carries out the forwarding. Generally the roaming user only generates a single trigger, and this causes difficulties if multiple services need triggering for the same call, such as a prepaid unit and the optimal voicemail deposit. The disclosure teaches methods which when used in combination provide a system that can operate at the home network irrespective of the configuration of the roaming network.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2006Date of Patent: June 19, 2012Assignee: StarHome GmbHInventors: Guy Weintraub, Noam Danon

Patent number: 7991394Abstract: A system for managing of mobile phones at a roaming network, each mobile handset having a first handset number from its home network. The roaming network assigns a second number to a detected roamer, which number is local to the roaming network. The second number is not known directly to the handset, which continues to identify itself using the first number. The handling unit acts as a local home location register for handling local management of the roaming handset using both the second number and the first number, thus allowing the handset to identify itself using the first number but be called using the second number at local call rates.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2006Date of Patent: August 2, 2011Assignee: StarHome GmbHInventors: Shmuel Gonen, Guy Weintraub

Patent number: 7783016Abstract: A telephony provider apparatus comprising: a pre-call information receiver, for receiving pre-call information transmitted through a first path and associated with a phone call transmitted through a second path; and a network component, associated with the pre-call information receiver, for provisioning the pre-call information to a callee and co-ordinating connection of the associated phone call to the callee with delivery of the pre-call information. Preferably the call is connected after the callee has seen the pre-call information and actively accepted the call.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2005Date of Patent: August 24, 2010Assignee: StarHome GmbHInventors: Shlomo Wolfman, Shai Ophir, Nir Zohar, Li-On Raviv, Ofir Sviezki, Guy Weintraub
