摘要:
Method and apparatus for automated inventory tracking and authentication using device identity-containing information associated with at least one device that is part of an inventory. The method includes accepting initial device identity-containing information from an inventory origination point to a first sales distribution point and accepting additional device identity-containing inventory from each instance of a new and successive sales distribution point as inventory moves through a supply chain. This information is stored and then later compared to a device ID of the at least one device. An authentication action is performed upon the at least one device based upon said accepted initial and additional information. The device identity-containing information includes MAC address information, device serial number information.
摘要:
A system and method for provisionable, multi-modal communications, including detecting a provisioning condition, selecting a communications mode based on the provisioning condition from a first usage mode, a second usage mode, and a third usage mode, and displaying an interface corresponding to the selected communications mode. The first usage mode includes a first communications channel supporting a first communication data consisting of instant messages (IM) and in-network voice data. The second usage mode includes a second communications channel supporting a second communication data consisting of IM, in-network voice data and out-of-network voice data. The third usage mode includes a second communications channel supporting a third communication data comprising video data.
摘要:
Method and apparatus for information conveyance in an end user device of a packet-based communication service where the end user device is connected to a PSTN-based communication device includes detecting a power up condition of the end user device connected to the PSTN-based communication device, detecting a packet-based network connection, retrieving an end user profile from the packet-based communication service attempting a communication registration operation and displaying one or more non-binary type messages at the end user device regarding the status of the communication service. The apparatus for enhanced information conveyance includes a main body having a local area packet network connection means, a wide area packet network connection means and a non-packet network connection means for connection of a PSTN-based communication device and a display panel body adapted to display information regarding the status of the communication service in a non-binary manner.

摘要:
Method and apparatus for voice traffic management in a data network includes establishing a default maximum bandwidth setting at a LAN egress port when voice-type traffic is not present in a LAN portion of the data network, detecting voice-type traffic, reducing the bandwidth setting at the LAN egress port to effect a change in a rate of non voice type traffic and monitoring non voice type traffic and voice quality statistics to determine if the rate of non voice type traffic entering the data network has changed. Once the desired change has occurred, performing a linear increase of the bandwidth setting at the LAN egress port to a first value while monitoring voice quality statistics, determining if voice quality has degraded during increase of the bandwidth setting and repeating the last two steps if voice quality has not degraded.
摘要:
A system and method for provisioning a network connection at a remote node, including detecting a device condition, and generating a visual signal corresponding to the device condition. In certain disclosed embodiments, generating the visual signal includes illuminating a light source with a color and according to a cadence. In other disclosed embodiments, the generating the visual signal includes illuminating a plurality of light sources according to a cadence.
