Abstract:
An improved system and method are disclosed for providing voice call continuity in an enterprise network. For example, an enterprise public branch exchange (PBX) may be configured with a pilot number that is used to provide VCC services when called by a client. Digit collection via DMTF signaling or other means may be used to collect destination information from the client. The enterprise network may use the collected digits to establish a communication session with another device that corresponds to the destination information.
Abstract:
An improved system and method are disclosed for reliable virtual bi-directional data stream (RVBDDS) connections. In one example, two communication devices create and exchange streaming data packets that are encapsulated in connection-less transport layer packets. The streaming data packets contain information used in managing the RVBDDS connection between the two devices.
Abstract:
An improved system and method are disclosed for peer-to-peer communications. In one example, the method enables an endpoint to traverse a NAT device using a stateless reflector.
Abstract:
A system and method for endpoint handoff in a hybrid peer-to-peer networking environment are provided. In one example, the method includes logging into the peer-to-peer network by a first endpoint. The first endpoint directly notifies a second endpoint that the second endpoint is to transfer an active communication session existing between the second endpoint and a third endpoint from the second endpoint to the first endpoint. The first endpoint receives session parameters associated with the active communication session directly from the second endpoint and directly notifies the third endpoint that the first endpoint is online. The first endpoint then re-establishes the active communication session with the third endpoint using the session parameters.
Abstract:
An improved system and method are disclosed for conference bridging. In one example, the method enables a device engaged in a conference call as a participant to bridge the conference call and to transfer the bridge to another device engaged in the conference call as a participant.
Abstract:
Provided are a system and method for network transitions. In one example, the method includes receiving messages from a mobile device indicating that the mobile device is in a session initiation protocol (SIP) wireless hotspot and that the mobile device is engaged in a communication session via a cellular network while in the SIP wireless hotspot. The cellular network is instructed to add the mobile device to the communication session via the SIP wireless hotspot. An affirmative response is received from the cellular network and a third message is sent to the mobile device to notify the mobile device of the affirmative response.
Abstract:
A system and method are disclosed for conducting an auction in a peer-to-peer network. In one example, the method includes initiating the auction by notifying a p-commerce server of the auction's start time, end time, and item being auctioned. A bid is received for the auction directly from another endpoints, and all endpoint that have previously submitted a bid in the auction are directly notified of the received bid. The p-commerce server is instructed to stop the auction after a determination is made that the auction has ended. A highest bid from the submitted bids is identified and the endpoint that submitted the highest bid is directly notified that it has won the auction.
Abstract:
An improved system and method are disclosed for peer-to-peer communications. In one example, the method enables an endpoint to sweep an ongoing communication session to another endpoint by transferring session information between the endpoints.
Abstract:
An improved system and method are disclosed for peer-to-peer communications. In one example, the method is for connecting an endpoint that is separated from another endpoint by a symmetric network address translation device.
