Abstract: In an approach for providing an enhancement to message check capabilities through an awareness of the message content, a processor processes a message that includes a non-textual part and a textual part. A processor identifies a content context of the non-textual part of the message. A processor identifies an intent and entity of the textual part of the message. A processor determines a potential mismatch between the content context of the non-textual part and the intent and entity of the textual part. A processor provides a suggested replacement for the potential mismatch.

Abstract: A method of reducing the time needed for sending data over a communication network. The method can include analyzing bandwidth usage of a user over a communication network and receiving data associated with the user to be sent over the communication network. The method further can include determining, from the bandwidth usage of the user, a probability that additional data will be received within a specified time period and selectively sending the data via the communication network according to the probability.

Abstract: A method of optimizing the runtime performance of a program written in an interpreted programming language can include loading, within a virtual machine having a Just In Time (JIT) compiler, the program and a file specifying frequency of execution data for at least one component of the program. The program can be executed. The executing step can include reading the file specifying the frequency of execution data, seeding a counter of the virtual machine associated with the component(s) with a value derived from the frequency of execution data, and performing a JIT action upon the component(s) of the program according to the seeded counter of the virtual machine.

Abstract: The present invention affords a predefined class of authorized users of the PSTN (public switched telephone network) access to extended telephone services through public communication networks external to the PSTN, the latter networks including the web and Internet. Authorized users in the predefined class can receive the extended services at residences, offices, and locations remote from both residences and offices. Authorized users can activate respective extended services through the external networks, and can do so without having to communicate with telephone company, representatives. Resource management intelligence of the PSTN is adapted to link to the external networks for communicating with and delivering extended telephone services to the authorized users. Extended telephone services include variations of presently standard telephone services such as call waiting, caller ID, call forwarding facsimile image transmittal, voice mail, etc.

Abstract: The present invention affords a predefined class of authorized users of the PSTN (public switched telephone network) access to extended telephone services through public communication networks external to the PSTN, the latter networks including the web and Internet, in situations wherein the users have only a single telephone line that is shared for receiving both extended telephone services and standard telephone services, and wherein the extended services are deliverable while the shared line is connected to the external network. The shared line can be a line serving a residence or business establishment containing equipment for communicating through the external network(s) and equipment used in standard telephony (e.g. standard telephones, standard facsimile receivers, standard computer fax modems, etc.). The extended services can be activated automatically, by interaction between users and computer intelligence in the PSTN, without assistance from human representatives of the PSTN.

Abstract: A multiprocessor subsystem, for a portion of the public switched telephone network (PSTN) conforming to architectural standards for advanced intelligent networks (AIN), contains processor elements for participating in management of call routing/switching processes, and other processor elements for participating in management of services provided to PSTN users and subscribers. The processors participating in call routing processes are tightly concentrated to ensure reliable control of respective processes, while the processors participating in management of user services are distributed so as to allow for virtually unlimited growth in new type services without potentially disrupting existing call traffic. This subsystem also contains processor elements having interfaces to networks external to the PSTN; e.g. data networks such as the Internet and World Wide Web, and pager networks.

Abstract: A billing system and method is disclosed for a telephone system comprising at least one central office switching system, wherein a peripheral subsystem is connected to the central office switching systems via a call connection channel, the peripheral subsystem comprising means for providing at least one auxiliary call processing capability via the call connection channel. The a billing system comprises: a billing generation means running on said peripheral subsystem for generating billing data related to said auxiliary call processing capability; a collecting means for collecting said billing data; formatting said billing data to a specified formatted output and outputting said formatted output to said central office communication network.
