  • Publication number: 20140279331
    Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically responding to a mass compromise event include storing, in a financial institution database, transaction histories for each of a plurality of accounts associated with the financial institution, analyzing, using an account detection processor, the transaction histories to identify one or more accounts among the plurality of accounts that are associated with a mass compromise event, segmenting, using the account detection processor, the identified one or more accounts into first and second segments, applying, using the account detection processor, risk splitters to first segment to identify mass compromise queue processing accounts, providing, using the account detection processor, the mass compromise queue processing accounts, and automatically processing, using a mass compromise queue processor, the mass compromise queue processing accounts.

  • Patent number: 8780893
    Abstract: A method for call signaling and media flow in a network including receiving call signaling information from an originating Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) endpoint relaying the call signaling information to a destination VoIP endpoint, directing the originating VoIP endpoint to use a RTP media proxy and receiving a stream of media to the RTP media proxy from the originating VoIP endpoint.

  • Patent number: 7809381
    Abstract: A telephone system supports communication with user devices over both a cellular radio network as well as over an Internet Protocol (IP) network, and enables roaming and active call handoff between cellular and IP domains. Approaches to detecting presence of a user near a suitable IP network are used in controlling transitions between the domains, for example, enabling automatic transitions between domains, and delivery of calls to a mobile user to data network devices in the vicinity of the user.

  • Publication number: 20080070528
    Abstract: A mid-call feature of a voice call server, such as an IP PBX or IP Centrex system, is accessed during a call. During the call with a mobile terminal via a mobile telephone network, a voice call signal associated with a mid-call feature from the mobile terminal is passed over a mobile telephone network to a first communication system. The voice call signal is converted to a data call signal at the first communication system, and the data call signal is transmitted to a second communication system over the data network. The method can also include providing the mid-call feature in response to receipt of the data signal at the second communication system.

  • Patent number: 7346043
    Abstract: Methods are described which enable the operator of a network such as an Internet protocol (IP) network to allocate ingress and egress channel capacity for the use by different services or for use by different service providers. The methods can prevent a service provider or a service from overusing network capacity. The methods also enable the network operator to temporarily allocate unused capacity if demand for a service exceeds previously allocated capacity. Further a method is described whereby capacity on a Voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) network is sold to service providers with guarantees for the number of available channels, where the channel capacity guarantees could be global, or by any type of subdivision. In addition to having a committed channel capacity, the service provider could be allowed to exceed the committed capacity whenever excess capacity is available on the network.

  • Publication number: 20030031165
    Abstract: Providing Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) networks includes attempting to authorize a call from a user made to a number, routing the call, after the call is authorized, to a remote location, and setting up call signaling at the remote location between the user and a destination of the call so that media content of the call flows between the user and the destination but not through the remote location.

  • Publication number: 20020077928
    Abstract: A method for delivering home repair information to a home owner over a global computer network, such as the internet. The home owner is presented with a first internet web page that contains a first list of home repair topics. In response to selection by the home owner of a home repair topic from the first internet web page, a second internet web page that contains a second list of home repair topics is presented to the user. The second set of home repair topics on the second web page correspond to specific home repair topics associated with the home repair topic selected from the first web page. In response to the selection by the home owner of a home repair topic from the second internet web page, a full-length video segment is downloaded to a computer associated with the home owner. The full-length video segment preferably includes step-by-step instructions as to how to complete a project associated with the home repair topic selected from the second web page.
