The mobile device notifies, if the mobile device is docked with the docking station, a call handling node in a cellular network to forward calls destined for the cellular telephone number to the VoIP telephone number at a VoIP call server. The mobile device receives a call forwarded from the VoIP call server, where the call was originally destined for the cellular telephone number.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2011Date of Patent: August 15, 2017Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Sujin Catherine Chang, Elliot G.

Patent number: 9031059Abstract: A network mobility device registers with a switch in a telephone network, and receives a first message from a docking station indicating that a mobile device has undocked from the docking station. The docking station includes a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) phone that has a wired connection to a data network, and the mobile device includes a portable digital computing device. The network mobility device receives a call, destined for the mobile device, routed from the switch, and sends an alert message, based on the undocking of the mobile device and the received call, to the mobile device to notify a client of the mobile device of the call. The network mobility device forwards the call, based on the undocking of the mobile device, from the network mobility device to the client at the mobile device via the data network.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2012Date of Patent: May 12, 2015Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Elliot G.

Patent number: 8886667Abstract: An approach is provided for providing a distributed database management and distributed storage system, which can use consumer storage media. A query for data stored in a distributed database formed by a plurality of storage media is received. The plurality of storage media corresponds to a plurality of set-top boxes. A determination is made that which one or more of the set-top boxes is associated with the data stored in the storage media. A request for the data is generated in response to the received query. The request is transmitted to the determined one or more of the set-top boxes.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2010Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: Verizon Patent and Licensing Inc.Inventors: Lee Goodman, Punita Mishra
