  • Patent number: 10158995
    Abstract: An exemplary system includes a mobile device having an application and wireless access user credentials, a configurable access point of a network, and a terminal connected to the configurable access point. The wireless access user credentials can be pushed, using the application, from the first mobile device to the terminal to reconfigure the access point and create a virtual network that recognizes the wireless access user credentials.

  • Patent number: 10027620
    Abstract: Global identifiers can be dialed from anywhere in the world. The present application relates to a call processing telecommunication system and methods thereof in a wireless network for connecting communication devices. The integrated system can resolve issues with global identification using internal identifiers. In one illustrative embodiment, the global identifiers can be registered and mapped to an internal number such that the global numbers can be used to contact individuals. When a call is placed by a communication device, the internal identifier of the calling device can be tied back to the global identifier, which then provides access to the IP address of the VoIP client to complete the call. For incoming calls, the global identifiers can be translated into an internal identifier to route the call through the network.

  • Patent number: 9930633
    Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a location of a mobile device are disclosed. A location of a second (e.g., mobile) device can be determined using location information of a first (e.g., stationary or wired) device. The location information of the first device can be sent, using the second device, to a server, which can then transmit corresponding location information to, for example, a call center.

  • Patent number: 9237229
    Abstract: A call processing method, system and communication device for providing call authorization features. Generally described, the present application relates to authorizing communications between devices during call setup time. In one illustrative embodiment, communications within a telephone network configured within a private branch exchange or carrier are filtered using an authorizing device. The authorizing device can be activated using different procedures including, but not limited to, feature access codes and pin numbers. When a call is received from a calling device, the telephone network can reserve a line for the call to the intended restricted device. The authorizing device can thereafter be alerted about the call. A user of the authorizing device can answer the call or direct the telephone network to block the call, connect the call with the restricted device through the reserved line, or forward the call to a third device.

  • Patent number: 8675836
    Abstract: This application relates to providing an end user control of temporary numbers established and linked to a trusted phone number using traditional forwarding mechanisms. Temporary phone numbers can be created and assigned to individuals to provide them with a unique point of contact. The temporary numbers are then linked to the individual's private number. The temporary numbers can be shared with individuals and organizations with whom the individual has an interest in communicating with. However, these numbers will often find their way into the hands of third parties with whom the individual has no interest in talking with. When the user simply no longer feels that the numbers are being properly used, the user can remove the temporary numbers linked with their private number so no further calls can be made and routed to their private number. The temporary numbers can be used to uniquely identify the calling party.

  • Publication number: 20120134489
    Abstract: A method, user configurable interface and communication device for dynamic digit mapping based on a connected party. In one illustrative embodiment, the keypad can include a user configurable interface for dual-tone multi-frequency driven systems. The keypad can have an electronic memory storing associations between user entries to system entries for a dialed number. A generator circuit can be coupled to the electronic memory and have an input terminal to receive user entries and a terminal to transmit digits corresponding to the system entries for the dialed number. A program executable on the generator circuit can receive a user entry for the dialed number, map the user entry to a system entry using the associations stored within the electronic memory and provide output corresponding to the system entry through the terminal to the dialed number.
