Abstract: A system and method for seamless exchange and interaction of multimedia content between communication devices in a network are disclosed. The method can include the discovery and identification of devices within proximity of a sending device. The found devices can be authenticated through unique identifiers established during registration. Connection requirements can be determined based on the identifiers associated with the found devices and the sending device. In turn, the sender can establish a connection with the found devices using the connection requirements. The sending device can share or serve as a remote control to redirect and navigate the content, with a simple action or a gesture command, to the found device. The shared multimedia content, can either reside on the sender's mobile device or on a remote server within a connected network.

The found devices can be authenticated through unique identifiers established during registration. The sender can seamlessly establish a connection with the found devices using the connection requirements. The sending device can share or serve as a remote control to redirect, navigate or draw content, with a simple action or a gesture command, to the found device. The shared multimedia content, can either reside on the sender's mobile device or on a remote server within a connected network. Contextual telephony integration such as pulling in personal contacts from a device to a conference call can be provided. White boarding techniques facilitated among multiple users within a conference and a WiFi® end point or access point are described.

Abstract: A method, system and apparatus of controlling at least one application on an electronic device. Interfacing occurs between a context object and the at least one application. Context data is retrieved from the context object. At least one of the following further occurs: the context object is updated with new context data derived from interactions with the at least one application; the behavior of the at least one application is modulated based on the context data; and at least one data field in the application is populated with the context data.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for routing an incoming call includes the apparatus configured to perform a routing decision resulting in the incoming call being routed to the voicemail of a called user. The apparatus further creates a transcription of a voicemail message being recorded on the voicemail of the called user. This is done by applying a speech analysis process to the voicemail message as the voicemail message is being recorded. Information about a context of the incoming call is determined from the transcription and a second routing decision is performed based on the information.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a system in which individual employee records can be updated across multiple services by an administrator at the interface to a particular service. Multiple services may be provided with this capability. This will eliminate the need in the current art for a central directory that contains a service description that will be common across all services. The technology eliminates the need for the development of this directory and the training of administrators in its interface. Administrators may utilize their training in one service interface to update records across multiple services. This will enable the more rapid development of solutions utilizing services from multiple vendors. Administrators need not be trained on interfaces for all services but can apply routine global updates from a convenient and familiar interface.

Abstract: A system and method for merging multi-modal communications are disclosed. The multi-modal communications can be synchronous, asynchronous and semi-synchronous. By way of a non-limiting example, at least two devices operating with varied modalities can be connected to a conferencing appliance. The conferencing appliance can integrate the differing modalities from the at least two devices by executing at least one of turn taking, conference identification, participant identification, ordering of interjections, modulation of meaning, expectation of shared awareness, floor domination and combination thereof.

Abstract: A method, system and apparatus of requesting confirmation of a communication handling rule change is provided. A proposed change to a set of communication handling rules is determined. A time within a schedule for requesting confirmation of the proposed change is determined. The confirmation of the proposed change requested, at the time.

Abstract: A system and method for connecting to a telephone extension listed in a telephone number database is disclosed. The method comprises recording an audio token on a mobile communication device. The audio token is associated with a telephone number included in the database. The audio token is transmitted from the mobile communication device to a server over a digital channel. The telephone number in the database that is associated with the audio token is selected using speech recognition. The mobile communication device is then connected with the telephone number.
