  • Patent number: 7200218
    Abstract: A system and method allow PBX features to be extended through the public network. A teleworker calls into a PBX system and is assigned a fictitious port. The fictitious port is controlled by a telework server and appears to the PBX to be a local device. PBX features are invoked by particular sequences of DTMF tones or by voice prompt, or another data input system.

  • Publication number: 20060270384
    Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for transient endpoint location identification are disclosed. The exemplary method may include transmitting a registration request from an endpoint to a server. The server requests a location identification number from the endpoint. The server associates the address of the endpoint with the location identification number provided by the endpoint. When the endpoint contacts emergency personnel, the server provides the location identification number associated with the endpoint, allowing emergency personnel to locate the endpoint.

  • Publication number: 20060233176
    Abstract: Under the present invention, resources such as gateways which interconnect usually disparate networks are released for processes which, while originally being inter-network, become intra-network, and the resource (e.g., gateway) is no longer needed for the intra-network process to be completed. The present invention is useful to optimally interwork an IP network with a PISN employing the QSIG Call Diversion and Single Step Call Transfer supplementary services. Attendant features achieved with implementation of the present invention, include quick release of network circuits that are being used for media connections that are no longer necessary and of system resources that are being used for signaling connections that are no longer necessary. Under the present invention, a media channel is not established from an IP network to a PISN, if a user of the PISN makes a call to a user of the IP network, who has forwarded/diverted her calls into the PISN and vice versa.

  • Publication number: 20060153247
    Abstract: In a communication system, a buffer is provided at or between a transmitting device and a receiving device. When the transmitting device is unable to send a stream of media packets or the receiving device is unable to render the stream of media packets, the buffer stores the media packets, and the size of the buffer is reduced when the transmitting device is able to send the stream of media packets and/or the receiving device is able to render the stream of packets.

  • Publication number: 20060092917
    Abstract: An object of the invention is to associate a DID/public or non-DID/private telephone number and/or reachable location information with a SIP Enabled Device. More specifically, an embodiment of the invention is directed to providing an additional data parameter comprising alphanumeric data, as a “Display_ID” parameter. The parameter includes information including a DID/public telephone number non-DID/private number and/or location information that is specific to the SIP user endpoint and is different from the SIP URI host address/user information (terminal name and/or terminal number). In another embodiment, a first SIP Enabled Device accesses the local Display_ID and includes the Display_ID in a communication request. A second SIP Enabled Device is capable of processing the incoming communication request, extracting the Display_ID parameter, and displaying the Display_ID associated with the first SIP Enabled Device on the text display of the second SIP Enabled Device.

  • Patent number: 6035024
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a method and apparatus for displaying numbers of users involved in a connection on a display associated with a station. The network users have a specific device number, whereby each number may consist of a plurality of partial numbers. The number of the user involved in a connection will be compared to the specific device number and as a result, the shortest possible number will be displayed.
