Patent number: 8023630Abstract: Techniques for voice instant messaging (VIM) on a programmable telephone set include receiving configuration data that includes VIM ID data that indicates a particular group of telephone sets. A start signal is received that indicates a start of a new message directed to the particular telephone set over a particular communication channel associated with the VIM ID. In response, VIM audio data received over the communication channel is recorded. It is determined whether the particular telephone set is currently in use. If not, then the VIM audio data is played over a speaker on the particular telephone set. These techniques allow instant, persistent audio messages to multiple recipients without a computer.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2006Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignee: Cisco Technology, Inc.Inventor: Michael McClung

Publication number: 20060165228Abstract: Communicating a call having a number of dialogs includes initiating a call between a first endpoint and a second endpoint. A first connection for a primary dialog of the call is established according to a feature. The first endpoint determines that the primary dialog has reached a predetermined state, and determines whether the second endpoint is operable to accept the second connection for the secondary dialog. The second connection for the secondary dialog is established if the second endpoint is operable to accept the second connection.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 12, 2004Publication date: July 27, 2006Inventors: Michael McClung, Henry Chen

Publication number: 20060093115Abstract: A method for providing telephony features at an endpoint includes accessing a service framework at an endpoint. The service framework is operable to provide one or more telephony features. Feature logic associated with a first telephony feature is accessed. The feature logic specifies a plurality of actions for implementing the first telephony feature. The first telephony feature is registered to receive an intercept upon the occurrence of an event. The occurrence of the event for which the first telephony feature is registered is identified. The event initiates a transition from a first state to a second state. The feature logic associated with the first telephony feature is loaded to provide the first telephony feature.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2004Publication date: May 4, 2006Inventors: Henry Chen, Michael McClung, Jeffery Sanders
