  • Patent number: 9380261
    Abstract: In one embodiment, multiple cameras are logically associated in a guest registry with a mobile device. One of the cameras may be internal to the mobile device, and one of the cameras may be external to the mobile device. A network device accesses the guest registry in response to a request from the mobile device. The request may be a request for a conference call, or the request may be a request for service. A conference call is initiated in response to the request. The network device receives video data from the multiple cameras associated with the mobile device and establishes a multiple party conference call including the multiple cameras and an external device.

  • Publication number: 20080175228
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a system includes a database that stores administrative information of an Internet protocol private branch exchange (IP-PBX). The administrative information correlates to a geographic configuration of endpoint devices connected via low bandwidth network links. A node is operable to access the database in order to retrieve and analyze the administrative information. Following the analysis, the node generates a test call pattern that is limited to test calls between the endpoint devices connected across the low bandwidth network links. The node is further operable to place the test calls of the test call pattern and acquire voice quality information therefrom. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure.
