Abstract:
A radio-to-SIP adapter is shown to include a voice detection algorithm processor as well as other circuitry to provide an interface between a radio and SIP adapter to accommodate a transition from half duplex to full duplex and to cause a radio to transmit when human speech is present in an audio signal from a telephony network.
Abstract:
Systems and methods of establishing IP telephony sessions between enterprises are disclosed. A first enterprise requests an association with a second enterprise. Both enterprises and the second enterprise belong to the same federation. The association request is accepted, to establish an association between the first and second enterprises. In response to the acceptance, a direct routed path is established between the first enterprise and the second enterprise. One of the associated enterprises requests activation of an IP telephony service. If the request to activate references the association, an IP telephony session is established using the direct routed path.
Abstract:
In a communication of audio signals between first and second portable-telephone devices through a first portable-telephone base station, a second portable-telephone base station and a portable-telephone line network has been connected, IP addresses are exchanged. The IP addresses are required for communicating image data by first and second terminal adapters associated with the first and second portable-telephone devices respectively through an OCN. Image data is then transmitted to the IP addresses received in the communication through the OCN.

In this regard, a subscriber associated with a gateway may have a plurality of subscriber accounts with a corresponding plurality of service/content providers. Information associated with the accounts may be stored in the gateway, and the gateway may present a user interface via which the subscriber may manage settings and balances associated with the accounts. The user interface may enable submitting a single payment such that funds from the single payment are applied to each of the accounts. Activity of the plurality of accounts may be displayed via the user interface. The gateway may be operable to monitor activity of one or more of the plurality of accounts. The gateway may be operable to generate one or more alerts based on the activity and based on criteria established for each of the plurality of accounts.
Abstract:
Aspects of a method and system for providing incentivized benefits in a broadband gateway are provided. In this regard, credits may be added to a subscriber account associated with a broadband gateway based on input provided by a user of an electronic device in communication with the broadband gateway, and it may be determined whether to provide services and/or content via the broadband gateway based on a number of credits in the subscriber account. The input may comprise, for example, feedback regarding content consumed via the broadband gateway, and responses to surveys, polls, or questionnaires presented via the broadband gateway. The broadband gateway may be operable to handle a plurality of physical layer connections to a corresponding plurality of network access service providers. The broadband gateway may be operable to communicate the user input to a provider associated with the subscriber account via one or more of the physical layer connections.
Abstract:
Aspects of a method and system for managing energy costs utilizing a broadband gateway are provided. In this regard, a broadband gateway may determine usage patterns for one or more electronic devices communicatively coupled to the broadband gateway. The broadband gateway may control tasks performed and/or to be performed based on the patterns of use and based on a pricing structure for energy supplied to the broadband gateway and/or the one or more electronic devices. Controlling tasks to be performed may comprise, for example, scheduling performance of the tasks. Exemplary tasks may comprise downloading multimedia content and configuring a state of operation of the one or more electronic devices. In an exemplary embodiment of the invention, a state of operation of the electronic device(s) may be configurable between a plurality of states comprising: a powered-off state, a standby state, and a powered-on state.
Abstract:
A system, an apparatus and related method for roaming in DECT-VoIP network are provided. The system for roaming in DECT-VoIP network includes at least a DECT-VoIP handset, and at least a DECT-VoIP apparatus. The system can be connected to the Internet through connecting the DECT-VoIP apparatus to appropriate internet access device, such as, ADSL modem or IP PBX so as to make and receive phone calls through VoIP. With presetting the VoIP client account information at the DECT-VoIP handset, the DECT-VoIP handset can roam from the coverage of a first DECT-VoIP apparatus previously registered with to the coverage of a second DECT-VoIP apparatus sharing the same ID with the first DECT-VoIP apparatus without interruption to the connection.
Abstract:
Method for grouping terminations of a media gate-way by a grouping parameter. When a command containing a grouping parameter is received, the command is executed for a termination if the grouping parameter contained in the received command corresponds to the grouping parameter stored in connection with said termination.
Abstract:
A method for controlling sessions between an IP Multimedia Subsystem network, IMS network, and at least two communication terminals (202, 204, 206, 208 302, 304, 306), and a communication system connectable to an IP Multimedia Subsystem network, IMS network, and at least two communication terminals (202, 204, 206, 208 302, 304, 306) each associated with a user, the users of the communication terminals sharing a common IP Multimedia Public Identity, IMPU. A control device (210, 310) for controlling sessions between the IMS network and the communication terminals (202, 204, 206, 208 302, 304, 306), and an identity database (212, 312) containing information about the identities of the users and/or the communication terminals (202, 204, 206, 208 302, 304, 306) sharing the common IMPU are provided. Data provision means for providing data, when one of the users/communication terminals (202, 204, 206, 208 302, 304, 306) accepts the session invitation, about which users/communication terminals (202, 204, 206, 208 302, 304, 306) are alerted based on said session invitation are provided. Notification means (222, 322) for sending a notification containing information about the identity of the user/communication terminal (202, 204, 206, 208 302, 304, 306) accepting the session invitation to the other alerted users/communication terminals (202, 204, 206, 208 302, 304, 306) is provided.
Abstract:
Method for controlling terminations of a media gateway, wherein a command from a media gateway controller is received containing a condition under which the command is executed. After having identified the terminations addressed by the command, it is verified whether the condition is met, and if the condition is met, the command is executed.
