Abstract: The technology relates to a method for testing the quality of a VoIP communication link between a multipoint control unit and a terminal, the method being performed at the multipoint control unit providing the capability for terminals to participate in a VoIP session, the method comprising: —sending an audio sample to the terminal,—receiving a reception report from the terminal, the reception report containing reception statistics for the audio sample,—computing a Mean opinion score—i.e. MOS—based on the reception report.

Abstract: The technology relates to a method for testing the quality of a VoIP communication link between a multipoint control unit (31) and a terminal (11, 12), the method being performed at the multipoint control unit (31) providing the capability for terminals (11, 12, 21, 81) to participate in a VoIP session, the method comprising: —sending an audio sample to the terminal (11, 12), —receiving a reception report from the terminal (11, 12), the reception report containing reception statistics for the audio sample, —computing a Mean opinion score—i.e. MOS—based on the reception report.

Abstract: Multicriteria management method for presence notifications proposed by a means of instant communications comprising a list of contacts that is not empty and connected to a presence server, such method comprising the following steps: configuration of rules to filter the presence notifications to be displayed and transmitted from the presence server; automatic configuration of presence information; automatic broadcasting of presence information on social networking and microblogging tools.

Abstract: A system and method for analyzing time for a slide presentation that permits a speaker to coordinate available time with the number of slides to be shown and a method of operating the same is described. In one embodiment, the system includes: (1) a time allocation tool enabling a user to establish a presentation time with respect to at least one slide in the slide presentation and allocate any remaining presentation time to each remaining slide on a pro-rata basis and (2) a monitoring module associated with the time allocation tool to monitor the progress of the slide presentation and display a time status for the slide presentation as well as a slide number and a time status for a currently displayed slide.

Abstract: A method for launching a contextualized on-the-fly conference between at least two users connected to a unified communications client and whose respective email addresses are included in an email, which method includes the following steps: extracting the email addresses comprised within the email's header; extracting a context from the email; formatting a contextualized on-the-fly conference request with the help of the extracted email addresses and context; transmitting the formatted request to a conference server; opening, for each user, an instant messaging session via the unified communications client; loading the extracted context in the open instant messaging session.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for categorizing messages received by a user of a company's social network, said method being provided to: extract an identifier of said message's sender from a received message; verify the existence within the company's social network of relationships between said identified sender and said user; apply a categorization role to said message based on said relationships; transmit the categorized message to said user.

Abstract: Virtual Card (VCARD) Container is an enhanced method and device for displaying VCARDs that includes a display of the VCARD file along with the graphical chart of the enterprise to allow recipients of the VCARDs to readily distinguish cards from two separate individuals at two separate enterprises. The VCARD Container allows the display of highly graphical VCARDs corresponding to the employee's enterprise during a communication between two parties. These VCARDs will be easily recognizable by the recipient of a phone call, for example, and when displayed, they will appear similar to a paper business card.

Abstract: A system (S) is dedicated to providing electronic business cards, comprising information related to people and to any positions that those people occupy within companies, to communication devices (EC1-EC3) connected to a communication network (RC). This system (S) comprises means of searching (MRP, MRS1-MRS3) operative to search within first means of storage (MS11-MS13), which store the aforementioned information as well as associated information display descriptions, each electronic business card that matches at least one chosen search criterion that is defined in an electronic business card request received from a communication device (EC1), and to provide that device (EC1) with each located electronic business card an that at least some of the information that it comprises can be displayed on a screen based on the display description associated with that information.

Abstract: A method for closing an active window or an application on a user device via detection of a user input gesture on a touch sensitive input device of said user device comprises a step of detecting touch input data with respect to the touch sensitive input device, a step of interpreting said touch input data , such that, in case said touch input data is recognized as corresponding to a gesture of forming an X-shape on said touch sensitive input device with said touch sensitive input device being oriented in a normal reading position, the active window or running application will be closed. A user device on which said method is implemented is disclosed as well.
