  • Patent number: 9014163
    Abstract: A method is implemented by an access terminal associated with a wireless network. The method includes identifying content stored within a paired device in a short-range wireless network, initiating a voice session, over a wireless carrier network, with an information services provider, and initiating a data session, over the wireless carrier network, with a mobile user content server associated with the information services provider. The method also includes uploading a portion of the content stored within the paired device to the mobile user content server based on the initiated voice connection.

  • Patent number: 8743707
    Abstract: Delay is measured associated with the transfer of voice signals involving a telephone connected to a PSTN carrier (e.g., non VoIP based) where the call is terminated by an operator agent using a workstation connected to a VoIP based network. A test tone is provided to the telephone causing a tone to be generated at a headset of the workstation. An oscilloscope measures the delay using an input of a first signal associated with the generation of the test tone at the telephone, and a second signal associated with the generation of the resulting tone at the headset. The tone at the headset can be looped back into the headset microphone, causing a return signal to be generated and measured. Once the overall delay is known, and the delay of certain elements are estimated, the delay associated with other network elements, including the workstation, can be determined.
