Abstract: Methods for dynamic routing of queued network-based communications using real-time information and machine learning are performed by systems and devices. Requests associated with fulfillments are received over a network from requestor systems, and the requests are queued in a data structure of a queue. Information that includes geolocation information from a user device of a user that is associated with the fulfillment, temporal information from the user device, or related request information associated with another request is then received over the network, and a fulfiller and a fulfillment time for the fulfillment are determined from the information. The request is provided from the queue to the fulfiller at the fulfillment time over the network.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and apparatuses for providing unique smart identifiers for entities of various entity types, such as documents or portions thereof. Each smart identifier comprises one or more data values provided by a requester of the smart identifier, or data values derived there from. The generation may be entity type based and/or customized. Embodiments include registration of custom smart identifier generation functions, with particular parameter data value requirements for particular entity types. Embodiments include smart identifier requesters inquiring about, and receiving answers to parameter data values required to generate smart identifiers for entities of various entity types.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and apparatuses for messaging with heterogeneous inter-related attachments. Embodiments provide messaging systems, devices and methods for electronic messaging with attachments containing, for example, documents created from a translating print driver and/or documents containing identifiers associating the documents to a subject.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and apparatuses for automatic patient record creation for messaging. Embodiments provide messaging systems, devices and methods for electronic clinical messaging with transmission of a record or data from a sender to a recipient and automatic creation of patient records upon receipt by a recipient.

Abstract: A system includes a server equipped to generate a split encryption key having at least a first key portion and a second key portion, that is used by the server to encrypt at least a portion of a message. Additionally, the first key portion of the split encryption key is retained by the server, while the second key portion of the split encryption key is delivered to a sending client and is discarded from the server. The sending client in turn provides the second key portion to one or more recipients of the message to facilitate recipient access to the message.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatuses for contextualization of electronic messages, for example, by determining at least one cost metric for an electronic mail message based at least in part upon an identified context, automatically generating metadata representing the at least one cost metric, and associating the metadata with the electronic mail message.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for methods and apparatuses for generating digital signatures of digital contracts, such as digital health care contracts. More specifically, embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for generating and using cascading digital signatures to identify a digital contract, enabling the digital contract's integrity to be assured, and rendering the digital contract non-repudiative.

Abstract: A system includes a server to store a first portion of a message, and a client to store a complementary second portion of the message. The first portion of the message is encrypted and a message specific token comprising one or more encryption keys used to encrypt the first portion of the message is generated. The second portion of the message stored on the client is subsequently combined with the message-specific token to form a partially secured message at the client. Furthermore, the partially secured message including the message-specific token is delivered from the client to a recipient to facilitate access to both the first and second portions of the message by the recipient.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for customized electronic messaging are described. In one embodiment, a customized email address is dynamically generated based at least in part upon a custom address profile so as to be particularized to the recipient. An email message addressed to the recipient using the customized email address is received from a sending party, and a disposition for the email message is determined based upon either the custom address profile and/or the customized email address.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for establishing a voice call to a PSTN extension for a networked client computer, and routing the voice call off of the network, is provided. In a first embodiment, the apparatus comprises a storage medium having stored therein a plurality of programming instructions for implementing a set of communication services for facilitating establishment of the voice call to the PSTN extension, and an execution unit, coupled to the storage medium, for executing the plurality of programming instructions. The set of communication services include services for receiving a Push-To-Talk™ request from the networked client computer, requesting the voice call, and in response, determining the PSTN extension. The Push-To-Talk™ request includes identification information of an originating web server of the Push-To-Talk™ option, and the determination of the PSTN extension is made in accordance with the originating web server's identification information.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for establishing a voice call by way of an electronic mail (email) message is provided. According to one embodiment of the invention, a first party (i.e. offeror), generates or causes to be generated, an electronic token representing an offer to participate in a voice which is transmitted to an offeree party in association with an email message. Upon receiving the electronic token, the offeree has the option of accepting the offer by activating the electronic token. When the offeree activates the electronic token, a first voice call is established with the offeree and a second voice call is established with a destination party identified by the offeror. Once the two calls have been established, they are bridged together to place the offeree in voice communication with the destination party. In one embodiment, the destination party is the offeror.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for establishing a collect call originated through a packet based network is provided. In accordance with various embodiments of the invention, a system is described that facilitates voice communication between a calling party and a party to be called while the costs of the communication session are charged to the called party. In one embodiment, the called party is queried as to whether they wish to accept the costs associated with the pending voice communication session, prior to the two parties being placed in voice communication with each other.
