Abstract: A browser for provision of web services to phone sets connected to PBXs or switches. The browser interfaces with the switches to provide content for the displays of the phone sets and to receive inputs from users for web sessions. Session support is provided in both the browser and the switches for coordination of web sessions along with telephony sessions on each of the phone sets.

Abstract: A system and method of controlling the delivery of an incoming call directed to a wireless communication device is provided. When an incoming call directed to the wireless communication device is received, the location of the wireless communication device, to which the incoming call is destined, is determined. If the wireless communication device is not within a designated zone, the incoming call is directed to the wireless communication device. If the wireless communication device is in a designated zone, the incoming call is handled based on specified criteria.

Abstract: A telephone system is provided comprising a plurality of telephone devices, a call control for establishing calls between the telephone devices in response to receipt of commands, at least one Voice and DTMF detector (VDD) resource allocated to the calls between the telephone devices for (i) detecting and transmitting DTMF tones received from the telephone devices to the call control for further call processing, and for (ii) detecting and buffering voice received from the telephone devices and notifying the call control. At least one Speech Recognition Engine is also provided for receiving the voice from the Voice and DTMF detector resource upon notification of the call control and in response performing speech recognition and notifying the call control for further call processing.

Abstract: A communication system utilizing speech control of operations, comprising a plurality of telephone devices, at least one Speech Recognition Engine (SRE) for providing indications of speech from spoken voice at the telephone devices, and a call control for controlling operation of the telephone devices in accordance with predetermined call states, and for dynamically allocating and de-allocating the SRE in response to the predetermined call states, whereby the SRE provides indications to the call control for initiating changes in the call states.

Abstract: A system and method of optimizing route selection of a communication connection over diverse media are described. The diverse media include but are not limited to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), a Wide Area Network (WAN), a Virtual Private Network (VPN), and satellite transmission. A desktop such as a computer is associated with one or more end system terminals. The desktop stores tables which identify the selection of available media and optimization factors associated with each. Set up and tear down protocols for each media are also stored by the desktop. Tables containing routing preferences for each media is also maintained at the desktop. Upon connection initiation the available media is evaluated for optimum service in relation to a callers set of preferences. A reroute of the connection after initiation can be implemented if a preferred route becomes available.
