Patent number: 9633125Abstract: A system, method, and computer program are provided for enabling a user to synchronize, manage, and share files and folders across a plurality of client devices and a synchronization server. In a user interface, a first view displays all folders, which a user has synchronized to the synchronization server and a drop-target zone to which the user is able to drag a folder from the local device to synchronize the folder with the synchronization server. A second view displays all files and folders, which the user has shared with other users. A third view displays a list of user contacts, where each contact is a drop-target zone on which a user is able to drag a folder to share the folder with the contact. A fourth view is provided in which a user is able to see activity related to a folder displayed in the first view.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2012Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: Dropbox, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Garcia, Samir Bhupatrai Mehta, Athena Anagnostopoulos, Fuad Rashid, Laura Susan Fried Yecies, Alice Viola Pintus, Jason Edward Short, Elie Mathias Monge, James David Wong

Patent number: 8634331Abstract: A computer readable storage medium holding a program element for execution by a processor for processing voice calls. The program element comprises an input interface to receive at a customer premises a signal carrying a call request indicative of an incoming voice call, wherein the call request includes a call destination identifier. Also present, a processing element at a customer premises coupled to the input interface. The processing element processes the call destination data to distinguish the call destination identifier from other call destination identifiers that the signal can carry. The processing element also processes the call request to select a handset to which the incoming call is to be linked on the basis of the call destination identifier and links the voice call to the handset. Also provided are a telephone system and method and a telephone system and method involving forwarding calls to voice mail services.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2008Date of Patent: January 21, 2014Assignee: BCE Inc.Inventors: Karen Freeman, David Robert Macphie, Nasahn Adam Sheppard, Jason Edward Short, Stephan Georgiev

Patent number: 8498397Abstract: Provided is a method for handling telephone calls directed to a telephony connection associated with a plurality of telephone numbers, wherein incoming calls made to the plurality of telephone numbers are announced by different ring tones. The method comprises receiving over the telephony connection a signal carrying ring tone information indicative of an incoming call. The method further comprises processing the ring tone information to differentiate the ring tone currently conveyed in the telephony connection from other possible ring tones that the telephony connection can carry. The method still further comprises handling the incoming call on the basis of the differentiated ring tone. Also provided are a telephone system and a computer readable storage medium holding a program element.Type: GrantFiled: December 24, 2008Date of Patent: July 30, 2013Assignee: BCE Inc.Inventors: Karen Freeman, David Robert MacPhie, Nasahn Adam Sheppard, Jason Edward Short, Stephan Georgiev
