Patent number: 10218701Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for automatically securing account access by verifying account information with an email provider. The methods and systems automatically determine whether provided login identification and account information, in the form of an email address, is valid by a server requesting validation information from the email server of the email address. The request is automatically provided, as a background process, in response to receiving login credential information entered by a user. The email server can provide verification of the email address, whether a password associated with the email address has changed, or if the request bounces. Push notifications may be utilized by the email server to notify registered entities of any changes to login credential information associated with an account. The methods provided secure account access and active sessions subsequent to an email account owner changing a password or terminating the email account.Type: GrantFiled: March 9, 2016Date of Patent: February 26, 2019Assignee: Avaya Inc.Inventors: Anand Bernard Alen, Aparna Govindaraju, Balasubramaniam Palanisamy, Bharanidharan Ramachandran, Gregory Alan Johns, Kathiresan Deivasagayam, Ramakanth Damodaram, Prem Sumetpong

Patent number: 9306820Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided that evaluate a number of different sources of presence information to determine a presence status of a user. The presence status of a user is determined by obtaining presence information from a plurality of presence data stores; translating the obtained presence information from at least one of the presence data stores into a standard format; and determining the presence status of the user based on the obtained presence information. Presence information can also be based on user-specified rules. Presence information is obtained from a number of presence data stores and the presence status of a user is determined based on one or more rules that are applied to the obtained presence information. The rules may include, for example, aggregation rules that determines the presence status based on one or more of the obtained presence information or filter rules that determine who may receive the presence status.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2013Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: Avaya Inc.Inventors: David G.

Patent number: 8706090Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for delivering voice mail messages to one or more intended recipients with an indication of the presence of the sender. A message recipient can automatically respond to a voice mail message using a desired form of communication. The presence server can provide presence information across domains so that a user in one domain can automatically obtain presence information and respond to a user in another domain. A client-side presence enabled voice mail application process (i) retrieves voice mail messages from a voice mail server of a user, (ii) queries a presence server to determine the presence of the sender of each retrieved message, and (iii) presents the retrieved voice mail message(s) to the recipient with an indication of the presence of the sender.Type: GrantFiled: September 26, 2003Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: Avaya Inc.Inventors: David G.
