Abstract: Methods and systems for establishing communication sessions between communication endpoints. A method for operating a first communication endpoint having a processor, memory and a transceiver for establishing communication sessions with other communication endpoints includes communicating with a second communication endpoint in a first communication session between the first communication endpoint and the second communication endpoint over a first communication network. The communicating comprises executing a first communication application at the first communication endpoint. The method further includes receiving, at the first communication endpoint, an invitation to establish a second communication session with a third communication endpoint over a communication network, wherein the first mobile communication endpoint is provisioned to handle the second communication session by executing a second communication application at the first communication endpoint.

Abstract: Systems and methods for selectively managing access to message content at a first display terminal are configured to display one or more messages collectively defining an exchange between a user of the first display terminal and a user of a second display terminal. The method determines, by a processor, that secure display processing should be used on at least one message of the exchange at the first display terminal, and displays message content of one or more messages of the exchange while concealing message content of the at least one message. In an embodiment, a successfully authenticated user or one who presents a required decryption code is able to view all any portion of an exchange, such as the at least one message in the context of a plurality of messages comprising a conversation.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing informative incoming call alerts are provided herein. The method includes receiving an incoming call from a second device; transmitting, to the second device, a first message regarding the incoming call; receiving, from the second device, a second message responsive to the first message regarding the incoming call; receiving a selection of one of a plurality of options based on the received second message; and processing the selected option.
