  • Patent number: 10027722
    Abstract: A computer receives a global command from a communication device using a first communication mode associated with a transaction. The computer stores transaction data, wherein the transaction data is stored for at most a duration of a session life span (SLS) time interval that is predefined. The computer sends a transfer session identifier (TSI) key to the communication device using the first communication mode. The computer receives the TSI key from the first communication device or a second communication device, using at least a second communication mode. The computer associates the transaction data with at least the second communication mode and the first communication mode in parallel, and the computer performs the transaction by use of either or both of the first communication mode and at least the second communication mode, within the SLS time interval that is pre-defined.

  • Patent number: 8918762
    Abstract: Testing a system under test (SUT) having a service-oriented architecture includes generating a first test plan for an inbound interface for each service model, generating a second test plan for an outbound interface of each service model, and generating a third test plan for information consumed by the service models using a processor. Testing the system further includes generating a fourth test plan for a process model, wherein the process model utilizes the service models, generating a fifth test plan that maps service models and the process model to executables of the system, and concatenating the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth test plans into a complete test plan for the SUT using the processor.

  • Patent number: 7937696
    Abstract: Under the present invention, when a request is received from a client device for a particular software application, the client device will first be interrogated to determine the device platform. Thereafter, the client device will be probed (e.g., from a remote bundle repository) to determine to determine its capabilities. Then, certain components of the requested application can be identified and configured to best take advantage of the client device's capabilities.

  • Patent number: 7889846
    Abstract: Disclosed is a communication server that uses a communication mediator to conduct voice/text communication sessions between users with different communications systems through a session initiation protocol (SIP) server. The communication server uses a voice recognition system to interface with participants in communications sessions and to provide a link between the participants and the mediator. The voice recognition system monitors ongoing voice communications for keywords and verbally prompts the participants to provide additional value to the communication session. The mediator can also access and retrieve information directly from a directory or from other data sources through an intelligent data server. Based on the directory information, additional participants can be added to the communication session.

  • Patent number: 7489698
    Abstract: A communication server has a message transfer unit that transfers messages between users operating under different, potentially non-compatible communication systems. A translator is connected to the message transfer unit. The translator translates messages sent to the message transfer unit into formats compatible with the different communication systems. A registration unit is used to associate communication systems with an incident. Communications between the different communication systems is restricted by incident and by registration. A voice/data mediator is used to conduct communication sessions through the message transfer unit. The communication sessions are conducted by the voice/data mediator between participants that are designated by a user. The participants are selected from users within communication systems that are registered with an incident.

  • Patent number: 7443965
    Abstract: Disclosed is a communication server that includes a message transfer unit that transfers messages sent between a first user communicating under a first communication system and a second user communicating under a second communication system. For example, the communication systems could each comprise a plurality of mobile wireless transceivers and a plurality of land-based transceivers that are used by emergency-response organizations. These communication systems may be incapable of communicating directly with each other. The communication server also includes a translator connected to the message transfer unit. The translator translates messages sent from the first communication system into a format compatible with the second communication system and vice versa. The communication server also has a voice-over-Internet-protocol (VoIP) unit connected to the message transfer unit, so that messages are transmitted through the communication server in a VoIP format.
