  • Devices, softwares and methods for selectively limiting the total modem-on-hold timeout time of a single log-in session
    Patent number: 8634524
    Abstract: A method includes establishing a modem connection, receiving an on-hold request over the modem connection, comparing a cumulative time that the modem connection has been on hold to a threshold value, and resolving the on-hold request based upon the comparison.

  • Device to terminate a modem relay channel directly to an IP network
    Patent number: 7543063
    Abstract: A modem data aggregating gateway that supports modem relay functionality for permitting reliable switching of modem traffic between a VoIP network and a data packet switch Internet Protocol (IP) network, s.a. the Internet. The modem relay aggregator may receive modem data encapsulated as Voice over IP (VoIP) data packets in accordance with a Simple Reliable Protocol Transport (SRPT) mechanism. The packet data may be error corrected and/or decompressed before being repackaged for forwarding to the ultimate destination. In the event that the destination is itself an IP device, the modem relay aggregator may forward the packets directly over the IP network. As a result, if the destination of a modem call is an IP device (such as a Web site or other Internet-enabled device) the technique eliminates two points from a processing path in which digital signal processing (DSPs) would otherwise have to perform modem protocol processing. Otherwise, minimal modem reformatting can be performed at the aggregation point.

  • Devices, softwares and methods for selectively limiting the total modem-on-hold timeout time of a single log-in session
    Patent number: 7095831
    Abstract: Devices, softwares and methods limit the total Modem-On-Hold (“MOH”) timeout time of a single log-in session. When a logged in user requests a Modem-On-Hold session, a server counts the cumulative time spent during individual MOH sessions. Once a limit is exceeded, then subsequent MOH requests are denied.
