Patent number: 8111816Abstract: Methods and systems for enabling a subscriber to interrupt a review of messages in a voice mail system (VMS), to make a call or take some other action, and to return to the same position as occupied at the time of interruption in the review of messages in the VMS. In response to an indication from the subscriber's communication to leave the review, an identifier is created to mark the position of the subscriber's communication in the review. The identifier is stored in the VMS. The VMS transmits a release message with respect to the subscriber's communication, the message including a copy of the identifier. The message may be a GR-1120 message including a remote operations (RO) parameter with the copy of the identifier. In response to the release message, a service control point (SCP) stores the copy of the identifier and causes whatever action is indicated in the message to be taken with respect to the subscriber's communication.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2008Date of Patent: February 7, 2012Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Maria Adamczyk, Joel Brand, Robert E.

Patent number: 7933390Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed that allow for the exchange of voice mail messages between different VMSs of different service providers and/or in different networks by the transmission of such messages through a data network using a standard protocol of the data network. Methods and systems also are disclosed that validate message transactions among subscribers receiving regional messaging services over the PSTN. The subscribers are located in different geographic areas and may be provided their voice, facsimile or data messaging services by different companies. The present invention validates passing messages (data) among customers of potentially different companies located in different areas by assessing the validity of the transaction in light of a number of conditions, including applicable regulatory or business conditions.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2007Date of Patent: April 26, 2011Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: James Carlton Bedingfield, Neil Gilmartin, Maria Adamczyk, Navneet Patel, N. Peter Hill, Gary J. Leonard, Alan R. Blackburn, Robert E. Braudes, Gary Lamothe, Ann V. McLaughlin, Donald H. Barstow, Doug Varney, Joel Brand

Patent number: 7760860Abstract: Methods and systems for enabling a subscriber to reply to a voice mail message that has been made available for the subscriber at a voice mail system (VMS). In response to an indication, the VMS transmits a release message with respect to the subscriber's communication to the VMS, which communication then is terminated to an intelligent network element (INE). The INE originates a call to the party to whom the subscriber desires to reply. The subscriber's communication and the INE's call are bridged to form the reply call from the subscriber to the party. The VMS is not included in the call path. After the reply call is concluded, the bridge is dismantled, the IP is released, and the subscriber's communication is returned to interaction with the VMS without the subscriber having to make a separate call into the VMS.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2002Date of Patent: July 20, 2010Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Maria Adamczyk, Joel Brand
