Patent number: 7940911Abstract: To provide a specialized resource function within the telephone network, server apparatus is described having a first interface for communication with a signalling network of a telephone network and a second interface for communication with a media gateway that has at least one bearer channel to the telephone network. The apparatus has a control arrangement for enabling the apparatus to provide, through the second interface, a document, such as a VoiceXML document, for rendering by the media gateway, the document being provided at least partly under the control of information received from a service control subsystem of the telephone network in an interaction through the first interface. An associated media gateway and method are also described.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2005Date of Patent: May 10, 2011Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Jean-Alexis Berranger, Mark Syrett, Jean-Philippe Caradec

Patent number: 7552250Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices are provided for a media platform. One method includes receiving DMA requests for connecting media data traffic to DMA slots of a DMA memory module. Available DMA slots are determined from a pool of available DMA slots and allocated for media data traffic. DMA slots are released to the pool of available DMA slots when a DMA slot is no longer being used. The method further includes using a TMC proxy to connect media data traffic between the DMA memory module and a DSP software module based on assigned DMA slots.Type: GrantFiled: February 6, 2007Date of Patent: June 23, 2009Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Barry K. Coffin, Anne Bavazzano-Desbrieres, Michele Prieur, Jean-Alexis Berranger, Douglas C. Ferrin, Mark E. Somerville, Richard D. Ellison, Christophe Gavrel

Patent number: 6067576Abstract: A computer system is provided with an operating system that has a streams mechanism for providing streams between user-space processes and drivers. This mechanism permits a user-space process to set up a multiplexer driver for multiplexing and demultiplexing streams. To facilitate the dynamic allocation of new streams to the multiplexer driver, a stream server is associated with the multiplexer driver, the stream server keeping a pool of available streams from which it satisfies any requests for more streams made by the multiplexer driver. The stream server can request a special user-space process to supply new streams to top up the pool.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 1995Date of Patent: May 23, 2000Assignee: Hewlett-Packard CompanyInventors: Jean-Alexis Berranger, Denis Roger
