Abstract: A server device may receive a notification indicating that an event has occurred, where the notification specifies an area associated with the event. The server device may further send a request for network content in response to the notification; receive the network content for each of a group of user devices, where the network content includes a location for each of the group of user devices and incident information for each of the group of user devices; generate geo fence information based on the area associated with the event, the geo fence information including boundaries for a geo fence that surrounds the location of the event; generate state information, associated with the geo fence, for a user device, of the group of user devices, located within the boundaries for the geo fence, where the state information includes the location for the user device; and send, to another server device, the state information for the user device.

Abstract: In one of many possible embodiments, a system includes a monitoring portal configured to receive state information descriptive of usage of a plurality of communication services provided on a plurality of communication networks of different types and to make the state information available to a subscriber of the plurality of communication services, in substantially real time.

Abstract: A service control point (SCP) (140) associated with a public-switched telephone network (PSTN) (110) includes a service logic module (210-N+1) and a network interface (215). The service logic module (210-N+1) enables the service control point (SCP) (140) to establish a connection with an Internet Protocol (IP) application server (120) via a transmission control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP) network (105). The network interface (215) communicates via the connection to integrate telephony services between the PSTN (110) and the TCP/IP network (105).

Abstract: In one of many possible embodiments, a hybrid end-user communication apparatus includes a Public Switched Telephone Network (“PSTN”) interface enabling communication over a Public Switched Telephone Network (“PSTN”) and a packet-switched network interface enabling signaling over a packet-switched network. The apparatus is configured to use the signaling to control a communication over the PSTN. In certain embodiments, the signaling includes Session Initiation Protocol (“SIP”) signaling. In certain embodiments, the communication over the PSTN includes a Public Switched Telephone Network (“PSTN”) media stream transmission over a Public Switched Telephone Network (“PSTN”) media bearer path.
