Patent number: 7272221Abstract: A system and method for providing telephony services, such as caller ID, voice mail, selective call forwarding, and the like, to a remote subscriber, typically located outside the providers regional territory. The system can include customer premise equipment (CPE) selectively connectable to a remote central office (CO), a packet-switched network gateway, such as an Internet telephony gateway (ITG), for remotely communicating service requests to a local service node. The local service node can be located within the service provider's territory and returns telephony service responses via the packet-switched network gateway to the remote CO, and ultimately the remote CPE.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2005Date of Patent: September 18, 2007Assignee: SBC Properties, L.P.Inventors: Karen Jeanne Pelletier, Rex Norman Bull, Bruce A.

Patent number: 7149290Abstract: A system (10) and method (40) are provided permitting cookie files to be used with telephonic customer premises equipment (CPE) (12). The caller CPE (12) can be an intelligent telephone adapted to generate, store, transmit and receive cookie files. The cookie files can include information tokens describing a caller profile. The CPE (12) can provide a template cookie file upon request from a called party during a conversation between the caller and called party. The template file can then be transmitted to the called party and modified. The modified cookie file can then be returned to the caller CPE (12) for future use during subsequent calls to the called party. The cookie file can reduce the processing time of calls placed to automated dial-up service centers and also reduces its computer resources required by the service system.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2005Date of Patent: December 12, 2006Assignee: SBC Properties, L.P.Inventors: Raymond Walden Bennett, III, Karen Jeanne Pelletier, Laura Marie Griffith, Michael Steven Pickard, Jordan Howard Light, Robert Welsey Bossemeyer, Jr., Edmond W.
