  • Publication number: 20070123239
    Abstract: A telecommunication system includes a processor, interfaces in communication with the public telephone network and a data network, respectively, and a memory. The memory comprises executable instructions that when executed by the processor direct the system to controllably permit access to a teleconference bridge in response to a communication from a mobile-communication device that includes information responsive to a previously communicated license key. Generally, the communication is in the form of a call from the user of the mobile-communication device. Upon receipt of the call, the telecommunication system confirms that the mobile-communication device communicates a pass code that was included in an encrypted form in the license key.

  • Publication number: 20070111716
    Abstract: A method for mobile-device directed conference calling comprises receiving information from a subscriber of a mobile-communication service, communicating an access number and providing executable instructions to the mobile-communication device that expose a conference service to the subscriber, wherein when the subscriber selects an option from the mobile-communication device, the mobile-communication device initiates a call to a conference service that uses automatic number identification to authenticate the subscriber and connect the call with a teleconference bridge. A system comprises a processor, interfaces in communication with the public telephone network and a data network, respectively, and a memory. The system receives information from a subscriber of a mobile-communication service, communicates an access number to the subscriber and configures the mobile-communication device to expose a conference service to the subscriber.

  • Publication number: 20070109591
    Abstract: A method for providing a remote print capability comprises receiving information from a communication device, the information comprising document and destination identifiers, confirming the communication device belongs to a registered user, identifying a document type from the information, retrieving a document responsive to the document identifier, converting the document from a native format to an image file format and transmitting the image file format representation of the document to a destination responsive to the destination identifier. A system comprises a processor, interfaces in communication with the public-telephone network and a data network and a memory. The system receives information from a mobile device and transmits an image file format representation of a document to a facsimile device in response to the information. The system can be used in cooperation with a mobile-telephone service and associated online tools for reporting, accounting, and interacting with subscribers.
