Patent number: 7995560Abstract: A communications system and method of managing communications with multiple appearance endpoints, e.g. Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) endpoints in the communications system. At least one SIP endpoint includes a keyset with multiple lines, at least a primary line and one or more secondary and/or phantom lines. A Back to Back User Agent (B2BUA) manages communications with the SIP endpoints and multiple (e.g., all) line appearances register in a single REGISTER message sent by the primary line to the B2BUA. The B2BUA sends NOTIFY messages for any incoming call and once the call is answered sends an INVITE message to the answering endpoint. The B2BUA includes a media negotiator that negotiates early media with the SIP endpoints upon an indication of a pending call, incoming or outgoing.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2006Date of Patent: August 9, 2011Assignee: Siemens Enterprise Communications, Inc.Inventors: Dennis L.

Patent number: 7746782Abstract: A method and system based in part on a current network traffic determination and a predetermined acceptable Quality of Service parameter, the system sets a current state of available system services. In order to set the available system services, the apparatus refers to a database containing a listing of services for a given network. The database includes a hierarchy of the services correlated to the amount of bandwidth necessary to provide a given service. The determination is made by the apparatus, as to whether the amount bandwidth necessary to provide a particular type of service would degrade the QoS below an acceptable level if the service was provided on the network at the time of the determination. If degradation would occur, the service is made unavailable until the traffic level subsides to a point at which providing the service would not have an adverse affect on the QoS the network.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2004Date of Patent: June 29, 2010Assignee: Siemens Enterprise Communications, Inc.Inventors: Luiz Cesar Zaniolo, Francisco Olympio Marcon da Rocha, Robinson Osmar Lima

Patent number: 7567803Abstract: A system and method is presented for the restricting features in a wireless network. A database contains representations of rules that restrict the features of terminals connected to a base station. For an incoming communication, a determination is made as to which terminal is associated with the call, and a database is accessed to look up rules governing restrictions on the terminal and/or the base station connected to the terminal; the terminal is then activated depending on the restrictions. For outgoing communication, when a signal associated with a request for an outgoing communication is received from a terminal, a database is accessed to look up rules governing restrictions; the terminal is connected for outgoing communication depending on whether the restrictions allow it.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2001Date of Patent: July 28, 2009Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Bertram Geck, Francisco Olympio Marcon da Rocha, Robinson Osmar Lima, Luiz Cesar Zaniolo, Enoch Ragin, Jr.

Patent number: 7113511Abstract: A communications network connected to a plurality of communications lines and method of managing connections to the network. The presence of an interface connection to a communications line is detected and initialized for signaling. First, the interface connection is initialized for a first signaling protocol, e.g., CCS. If initialization is successful, the connection uses that first signaling protocol. If not, the interface connection is initialized using a second signaling protocol, e.g., CAS. If initialization to the second protocol is successful, the connection uses that second signaling protocol. Otherwise an error message is returned.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2002Date of Patent: September 26, 2006Assignee: Siemens Communications, Inc.Inventors: Bertram Geck, Francisco Olympio Marcon da Rocha, Robinson Osmar Lima, Enoch Ragin, Jr., Luiz Cesar Zaniolo
