Appl. No.:

09/517304

Inventors:

Eric William Burger - McLean VA
John Kimball - Gaithersburg MD

Assignee:

SS8 Networks, Inc. - San Jose CA

International Classification:

H04M 3436

US Classification:

379 8817, 379 9001, 37920111, 370352

Abstract:

A call screening method allows a subscriber to screen calls made to the subscriber from callers using the PSTN while the subscriber uses another communications medium. An enhanced services platform (ESP) receives a first call from a caller using a particular public telephone number for the particular subscriber. The ESP identifies the particular public telephone number for the particular subscriber. The ESP accesses a database storing a public telephone number and a private packet-based address for subscribers to retrieve a private packet-based address of the particular subscriber on the basis of the particular public telephone number. An introductory message is provided to the caller and prompts the caller to leave a message. The ESP accesses the particular subscriber based on the particular subscriber private packet-based address to establish an audio connection via the communication medium. The subscriber is notified of the first call.

International Classification:

US Classification:

709206, 709245, 379 9324, 379 8817

Abstract:

In a system for registering E-mail addresses for subscribers of the system, a telephone call manager, upon request, provides a subscriber with a unique identifier and stores a copy of the unique identifier. An E-mail manager receives and processes an E-mail message sent to a first E-mail address, the received E-mail message including a request to register a second E-mail address, the received E-mail message including the unique identifier. The E-mail manager, upon receipt of the E-mail message, compares the unique identifier with the copy of the unique identifier stored by the telephone call manager, and registers the second E-mail address only if the unique identifier and the copy of the unique identifier correspond. In a second embodiment, an E-mail message requesting registration of the second E-mail address is first sent to the E-mail manager. When the subscriber places a telephone call to the system, and enters a password that is verified by the telephone call manager, the telephone call manager notifies the subscriber of the pending E-mail address registration request and registers the specified second E-mail address only if the subscriber so authorizes.

International Classification:

US Classification:

455414, 455417, 455415, 455466

Abstract:

A system and method for providing a call management service subscriber with options for handling incoming calls, without using voice channel resources, is disclosed. When an incoming call is received by the call management system, caller information and menu options are provided to the subscriber in text form on a display, using a data channel, rather than in spoken form over a voice channel. This conserves air time and network resources while providing the subscriber with call handling options in a convenient and user-friendly form.

Assignee:

Ulysses ESD - San Jose CA

International Classification:

H04L 1228

US Classification:

370406, 370230

Abstract:

To form communication connections in a set of nodes, the set of nodes is arranged so that at least a subset of the nodes form a ring. Each node in the subset of nodes is coupled to first and second neighboring nodes in the subset by a set of inter-node communication connections. An external communication is received at one of the nodes. The external communication requests access to a communication resource of a specified type. The receiving node determines whether it has an available communication resource of the specified type. If not, the following additional steps are performed. A resource request message is sent to the first and second neighboring nodes of the receiving node to request allocation of a communication resource of the specified type. Each of the first and second neighboring nodes determines whether that node has an available communication resource of the specified type. If not, the neighboring node transmits another resource request message to one of its neighboring nodes other than the node from which the resource request message was received.

Abstract:

A system and method for locating the subscriber of a telephony product in which a best guess location is assigned to each subscriber of the telephony product. Under certain predetermined conditions, the telephony product directs incoming phone calls to a subscriber by first attempting to locate the subscriber at the best guess location. If the best guess location does not successfully answer or is not attempted first, an alternate search method is used.

International Classification:

G06F012/00

US Classification:

711/114000, 711/162000

Abstract:

An embodiment of the invention described in the specification and drawings is a distributed and highly available data storage system. In one embodiment, the distributed data storage system includes a plurality of data storage units that are controlled by an object management system. The object management system preferentially selects the distributed data storage units for performing the file access requests according to the external inputs/outputs with which the file access requests are associated. In response to a file creation request that is associated with an external input of one distributed data storage unit, the object management system preferentially creates a data file in that distributed data storage unit. In response to a file retrieval request that is associated with a data file and an external output of a distributed data storage unit, the object management system preferentially returns a hostname and pathname of a copy of the data file that is stored within that distributed data storage unit. The object management system also makes redundant copies of the data files in different units to provide high availability of data.

International Classification:

US Classification:

379 8801

Abstract:

A method of correlating voice calls with received electronic messages includes sending an electronic message associated with a second party to a first party; subsequently receiving a voice call from the first party by the second party; automatically determining whether the voice call resulted from the electronic message, based on electronically stored information about the sending of the electronic message and about the subsequently received voice call; and if it is determined that the voice call resulted from the electronic message, flagging the voice call to have a different status from voice calls not determined to have resulted from an electronic message.

Abstract:

A system for assisting a subject to select a proper form of treatment. The system comprises: a monitoring section that remotely monitors a health status of the subject; an inference section that infers medical information about the subject based on information subject posted on social networks; a subject database that stores subject's information; and a symptom engine that stores symptoms of medical situations. The inference section applies the health status and the medical information against symptoms stored in the symptom engine to determine a proper form of treatment.
