Abstract: Integrated multimedia voicemail systems and methods allow the creation of voicemail with associated multimedia content. A user can compose a voicemail and select or create multimedia content to be associated with the voicemail. A user can associate files, webpage addresses, applications, and user-created content with a voicemail. A user may operate an interface on a user device to select content and instruct a voicemail system to associate such content with a voicemail. The voicemail with integrated multimedia content may be an originating voicemail or a voicemail in response to another voicemail.

Abstract: Visual voicemail is dynamically organized according to detected criteria. Voicemail may be automatically associated with a category, priority, or other attribute. The attributes may be assigned based on user-configured associations with particular senders, the detection of user-defined words or phrases within the voicemail, or on other attributes such as the voicemail sender's relative location to the voicemail recipient. Voicemail may be visually identified as being associated with one or more attributes, and may be organized and presented to a user based on the associated attributes. Actions may be performed and the voicemail may be manipulated based on the attributes.

Abstract: A service request is received and associated with a subscriber id. Profile information is accessed for the source of the service request. A copy of the profile information is stored in a network element employed by the source of the service request to access the network.

Abstract: A service request is received from a terminal device, and payment parameters are received for the user of the terminal device. Information of the service request and payment parameters is communicated to a plurality of service providers, sufficient for the service providers to bid on the service request. Bids are received from at least one of the service providers, and a service provider is selected to fulfill the service request based on the bids.

Abstract: Characteristics of an unknown application on the wireless network are compared with characteristics of previously classified wireless applications. When the characteristics of the unknown application match those of a previously classified application, the bandwidth requirement associated with the matching previously classified application is allocated to the unknown application by the wireless network.

Abstract: A service request is received and associated with a subscriber id. Profile information is accessed for the source of the service request. A copy of the profile information is stored in a network element employed by the source of the service request to access the network.

Abstract: A network includes user information comprising terminal capabilities and readiness information for a terminal device. A network element receives the terminal capabilities and readiness information from the terminal device and communicates the terminal capabilities and readiness information such that it is received and stored. The information is accessed to set media delivery parameters for the terminal device.

Abstract: A network element includes logic to access a storage element comprising a service profile. The service profile includes information about actions to take in response to a request for a service. The network element includes logic to access the service profile and to identify acts common to responding to the service request and at least one of acts underway and acts scheduled to be underway in the network.

Abstract: A service request is received and the source of the service request is identified as one of a subscriber, user, and terminal. Profile information for the source of the service request is accessed.

Abstract: A network element includes at least one input to receive communications from a plurality of terminal devices and a plurality of network elements, a processing unit and logic to classify the communications as a type of user information, and a router to route the communications according to the type of user information. The communication may be routed to at least one of a plurality of subnetworks according to the type of user information.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a network stores user information comprising terminal capabilities and readiness information, and authorizes access to at least some of the user information by a service provider when the service provider has an associated subscription to the user information.

Abstract: A service request is received from a terminal device, and payment parameters are received for the user of the terminal device. Information of the service request and payment parameters is communicated to a plurality of service providers, sufficient for the service providers to bid on the service request.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system that includes a plurality of cache engines coupled to a computer network such as the Internet, and a cache memory associated with each of the plurality of cache engines. The cache memory is allocated to store information of a plurality of users participating in an online communication session. Each user is allocated a normal section and an exception section in the cache memory, the normal section storing predictable behavior of the user and the exception section storing unpredictable behavior of the user. All users' session environment is updated by sending information on whether a specific user's behavior is predictable or unpredictable and by retrieving the appropriate user behavior from the normal or exceptions sections in the local cache memory.

Abstract: An improved object-oriented transaction computing system is disclosed. The system allows for the compiling, linking, and managing of one or more objects, classes, and/or method libraries through the set-up, managing, and termination of corresponding internal or external procedural call modules. The objects in the system interface with one another using a message pointer interface including one or more message interface ports that correspond with the internal or external procedural calls. The system also includes a transaction controller for allocating one or more time units for a designated transaction corresponding with the one or more objects, classes, methods, and/or messages. A scheduler monitors the transaction controller by monitoring a beginning and/or ending time mark for the designated transaction.

Abstract: In an embodiment of the present invention, an interactive behavior-based communication system includes a behavior monitor operable to detect specific behavior and actions of a user during a communication session, a behavior matching engine operable to receive the detected user behavior and actions, match them to predetermined and defined behaviors and actions, and determine an appropriate dynamic response in response to a match, and a content database storing content presentable to the user to dynamically modify the communication session in response to the determined response.
