  • Publication number: 20130023273
    Abstract: A caller telecommunication device transmits a call to an intended receiving wireless telecommunication device. In response, the caller telecommunication device transmits an instruction to a first proximate telecommunication device, wherein the instruction directs the first proximate telecommunication device to determine if the first proximate telecommunication device is within a predefined proximity of the intended receiving wireless telecommunication device. The predefined proximity is a distance within which the intended receiving wireless telecommunication device and other wireless telecommunication device can directly communicate by local signals. The caller communication device re-routes the call to the first proximate telecommunication device if the first proximate telecommunication device is within the predefined proximity of the intended receiving wireless telecommunication device.

  • Publication number: 20130007214
    Abstract: Provided is techniques for the distribution and control of digital content such that Quality of Experience (QoE) is maintained. Content is protected from when the content is encrypted to when it is used. To ensure the QoE of particular content, a content owner embeds a list of required or preferred components that must be employed to render the content. The content owner's list of required or preferred components specifies specific components “trusted” to correctly process the content. The specified chain of preferred components is compared to possible devices in the system that processes the content. If there are multiple acceptable devices for a specific link, a preference system is employed to determine the device that executed the particular part of the chain. The preference system is based upon a number of factors, such as, but not limited to, performance characteristics, user preferences, expected stability, power requirements and system preferences.

  • Patent number: 8345837
    Abstract: A method, system, and computer-readable medium embodying a computer program for securing a communication against access by unintended users is presented. A communication is initiated from a person using an originating telecommunication device to an intended receiving wireless telecommunication device. In response to the communication failing to connect to the intended receiving wireless telecommunication device, a telecommunications host carrier provider may re-route the communication to an alternate telecommunication device. A business authentication logic of the host carrier then determines any security or quality of service filters established by the user of the originating telecommunication device prior to the communication being initiated to prevent unintended users from accessing the communication. Upon the business authentication logic of the host carrier authorizing the communication, the communication is encrypted and re-routed to the alternate telecommunication device.

  • Patent number: 8019078
    Abstract: A phone call mute notification applies an aural effect to the user's speech, other parties' speech, non-speech, or combinations thereof. The phone call mute notification does not render speech unintelligible and may provide a constant indication that the phone call mute function is active. Furthermore, the phone call mute notification does not serve as a distraction to the user, because the aural effect may be applied to speech itself rather than drawing the attention of the user away from the speech.
