US Patent:

8111814, Feb 7, 2012
Filed:

Mar 20, 2006
Appl. No.:

11/386037
Inventors:

Krishnamurthy Ganesan - Redmond WA, US
Adrian Potra - Bellevue WA, US
Sundaram Anantharaman - Redmond WA, US
Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:

H04M 1/64
US Classification:

379 8817, 370354, 709206
Abstract:

A facility for providing extensible alert types is described. The facility includes an endpoint component that has an associated application, an alert handler component provided by the application for handling received messages and providing alerts to the application, and a message transport component that receives a message, determines whether the message contains an alert, locates an alert handler to handle the alert, and provides a portion of the received message to the alert handler component so that the alert handler component can handle the alert. The facility can receive a request to register an alert handler, add an indication of the alert handler in a mapping data structure and, upon receiving a message containing an alert, identify an alert handler to handle the alert contained in the message.

Filed:

Jan 20, 2009
Appl. No.:

12/356291
Inventors:

Srivatsa Srinivasan - Renton WA, US
Sundaram Anantharaman - Redmond WA, US
Gene Y. Zhang - Bellevue WA, US
Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:

H04M 3/42
US Classification:

37920702, 37920101, 37920102, 37920105
Abstract:

Subscribers of an enhanced communication system are enabled to indicate invocation or clearing of media specific features such as music-on-hold or video-on-hold. The invocation or clearing is transmitted to participating end points as a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) re-INVITE message with Session Description Protocol (SDP) attribute descriptions identifying the feature, applicable media channels and whether the message is for invocation or clearing of the feature.

US Patent:

20070220148, Sep 20, 2007
Filed:

Mar 20, 2006
Appl. No.:

11/385264
Inventors:

Krishnamurthy Ganesan - Redmond WA, US
Adrian Potra - Bellevue WA, US
Sundaram Anantharaman - Redmond WA, US
Paul D. Tidwell - Sammamish WA, US
Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:

G06F 15/173
US Classification:

709226
Abstract:

A facility is described for managing parallel requests in a communications environment having devices or applications (“request handlers”) that support serial and parallel message processing. In various embodiments, the facility receives messages directed to a recipient from an application and sends a first message to the recipient without sending subsequently received messages to the recipient. Upon receiving a response from the recipient to the first message, the facility determines whether the recipient supports parallel or serial message processing. When the recipient supports parallel message processing, the facility sends the subsequently received messages to the recipient without awaiting a response to a message before sending another message. When the recipient supports serial message processing, the facility sends a subsequent message after receiving a response to a previously sent message.

Filed:

Sep 5, 2007
Appl. No.:

11/850487
Inventors:

Sundaram Anantharaman - Bellevue WA, US
Sameer Dilip Bedekar - Issaquah WA, US
Assignee:

MICROSOFT CORPORATION - Redmond WA
International Classification:

H04L 12/66
US Classification:

370352, 379 8801, 455415
Abstract:

A system that can deliver a tailored message based upon characteristics surrounding an incoming communication. In one aspect, the system is a targeted voice-mail system that has the capability to provide a unique voice-mail depending upon the communication characteristics which include the identity of caller or the initiator of the call, whether a specific identity or within a group, the identity for which the call is targeted, and the intent of the caller. Additionally, other contextual factors can be considered in generating, locating and/or rendering a tailored response message.

Filed:

Mar 31, 2009
Appl. No.:

12/414685
Inventors:

Sundaram Anantharaman - Redmond WA, US
Calin M. Popa - Bothell WA, US
Vinit C. Deshpande - Woodinville WA, US
Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA
International Classification:

H04L 12/16
US Classification:

370261
Abstract:

Architecture for session management enabling the reusing of session attributes of a current session in creating a new session, for adding new participants to a call session. A telephony component manages IP-based call sessions. The telephony component can be an IP telephone or a personal computing device running an IP telephony application, for example. A header component includes attributes of an existing IP call session with multiple parties. The header component can be sent in an INVITE message when establishing the new IP call session, for example. An attribute selection component selects attributes of the existing IP call session to be reused with the new IP call session with the multiple parties and a different party or parties. A session replacement component replaces the existing IP call session with the new IP call session, including the attributes reused from the previous session.

H04L 12/18
H04W 40/00
US Classification:

370260, 370352, 370328
Abstract:

Call policy enforcement and routing is based on user location. A plurality of endpoints is provided for receiving and making calls. Each of the plurality of endpoints are assigned a default policy for controlling call authorization and providing call routing rules. A mapping of policies for a plurality of locations is stored. A location of a client associated with one of the plurality of endpoints is identified. A location-based policy is obtained from the stored mapping of policies of the plurality of locations based on the identified location of the client. The obtained location-based policy is applied instead of the default policy assigned to the client associated with one of the plurality of endpoints.
