Patent number: 9015307Abstract: An Application Server entity in an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network comprises an interface for interfacing with an application and control logic which is arranged to inspect signaling information received from the application via the interface in the form of Extensible Markup Language (XML). The received signaling information is compared with stored rule data which specifies a relationship between an element in the signaling information and an action that should be taken and output data is generated based on the comparison. The Application Server can output operational measurements and/or charging information which more accurately reflect usage made of the Application Server resources. The need for a separate OSA/Parlay-X gateway can be avoided.Type: GrantFiled: July 3, 2013Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Assignee: RPX Clearinghouse LLCInventors: John Storrie, Anthony Waters, Julian Mitchell

Publication number: 20140344460Abstract: A method of brokering a network resource 10 includes providing a service broker processor 12 and a service broker registry 13. On receiving a request at the service broker processor to register a network resource to provide a network service, the service broker processor authenticates the request and authorises registration in the service broker registry. A network client 14 is updated with the availability of the registered network resource so that on receiving a third party request for the network service, the network client requests allocation of the registered network resource. A bearer path 54 is set up between the third party 21 and the network resource 10 to provide the requested network service.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2014Publication date: November 20, 2014Applicant: Rockstar Consortium US LPInventor: John Storrie

Publication number: 20140314074Abstract: A Call Session Control Function (CSCF) entity in an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network comprises a first interface for interfacing with other entities and uses signalling in an Extensible Markup Language (XML) format. The other entities that the CSCF interfaces with can be located outside the IMS network, such as servers supporting third party IT or web-based applications, or within the IMS network.

Publication number: 20100043042Abstract: The present invention provides an improved video head-end. The video head-end is adapted to, upon receipt of a data stream including interactive data, identify the interactive data and extract the interactive data from the data stream. Once the interactive data has been extracted from the data stream it can be translated into a different language. The different language being one that an endpoint in a television network can process. Once the interactive data has been translated it can be transmitted, along with any other data that formed part of the data stream the television network.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 12, 2008Publication date: February 18, 2010Applicant: NORTEL NETWORKS LIMITEDInventors: Christopher McEvilly, John Storrie

Publication number: 20090168981Abstract: Increasing use is being made of XML procedure calls to control and integrate telecommunications networks with other IT equipment. XML messages are verbose and include information which is not required merely to monitor activity in the network for purposes such as billing and authentication. The use of XPath or XQuery operations allow the XML messages to be dynamically and quickly analysed and filtered for relevant information.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2007Publication date: July 2, 2009Applicant: NORTEL NETOWRKS LIMITEDInventors: David Johnson, Anthony Waters, William Hern, John Storrie

Patent number: 7330463Abstract: This invention relates to a carrier (service provider) hosted enterprise voice over internet protocol (VoIP) virtual private network (VPN) across a number of sites of an enterprise where said sites are located in a number of different countries. The enterprise VoIP VPN interfaces with the public switched telephone networks (PSTNs) in each of the countries via respective media gateways. The media gateways are controlled by a single network intelligence apparatus (call agent) of the carrier network which is located in one country but which controls all the media gateways interfacing the enterprise VoIP VPN with the PSTNs of the various countries through a network intelligence IP VPN provisioned on a public IP network. The arrangement of the invention negates the need for a network intelligence apparatus to be provisioned in each country in which the enterprise has sites serviced by the enterprise VoIP VPN.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2003Date of Patent: February 12, 2008Assignee: Nortel Networks LimitedInventors: Patrick Bradd, John Storrie

Publication number: 20070116218Abstract: The present invention is designed to prevent nuisance calls to a user from calling parties, especially when the number of the calling party is withheld. A database is compiled of calling parties who the user does not wish to receive communications from and calls from those parties are blocked. The identity of the calling party is added to the database after the user receives a call from the party and decides at the time of the call that they do not wish to receive any further communication from that party. They invoke a method which extracts the identity of the calling party from the call signalling messages and adds it to the database. In this way further communications from the party will be denied.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 18, 2005Publication date: May 24, 2007Inventors: John Storrie, Christopher Swindle, Paul Kettlewell
