Abstract:
A smart Voice Over LTE (VoLTE) application for allowing a wireless mobile device to select an appropriate access technology for establishing a voice call with a target mobile device, based on the capabilities of the target mobile device. Selection on the client side allows interoperability of a VoLTE wireless mobile device on a circuit switched network without requiring use of a gateway between the circuit switched and VoLTE networks. If the target mobile device is only configured for legacy circuit switched network calls, the wireless mobile device need not begin the call connection on the VoLTE network and instead may establish the call on the circuit switched network from the beginning.
Abstract:
Devices, systems and methods for sending messages from a web service server to a computing device shared by a current user and another offline user while maintaining privacy for the other offline user's messages and decreasing bandwidth requirements for transmission of messages may include registering the user and the offline user of the computing device with the web service server, receiving at the web service server from the computing device a login by a first user, wherein the first user is determined to be the current user, checking a database for undelivered messages for the at least one offline user who is not currently accessing the web service server, wherein any user who is not a current user is determined to be an offline user, encrypting each offline user's undelivered messages, sending the undelivered messages to the computing device, and storing offline user encrypted undelivered messages in the computing device.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to hosting a group call at a wireless user device. An embodiment receives, by the wireless user device, registration information for a plurality of client devices, receives, by the wireless user device, a call request for a call among two or more of the plurality of client devices, sets up, by the wireless user device, the call among the two or more client devices, receives, by the wireless user device, a media stream, and transmits, by the wireless user device, the media stream to at least one of the two or more client devices.

Abstract:
The disclosure is directed to recording voice data transmissions between mobile communication devices. An embodiment of the disclosure receives, at a first mobile communication device, an indication that a subsequent voice transmission segment may or may not be recorded by at least one other mobile communication device, and transmits, from the first mobile communication device, an indication to said at least one other mobile communication device that the subsequent voice transmission segment may or may not be recorded. Another embodiment receives an indication from at least one other mobile communication device that a subsequent voice transmission segment may or may not be recorded by said mobile communication device, and if the received indication indicates that the subsequent voice transmission segment may be recorded, records at least a portion of the subsequent voice transmission segment, and stores the recorded portion in a memory associated with said mobile communication device.
Abstract:
The various embodiments provide a framework for using a server to create and maintain equivalence classes among applications operating on multiple devices that have registered with the server. In the various embodiments, the server may use equivalence classes to select an application on a target device (the “recipient application”) that has the highest probability of being able to receive shared media from an application operating on the originator device (i.e., the “originator application”) based on the recipient application's similarity to the originator application. The various embodiments further enhance privacy protections and the overall user experience by enabling the server to select an appropriate recipient application on the target device without the originator device or its user having to know anything about the target device's characteristics and functionalities.
Abstract:
The disclosure is directed to conducting group communications. An embodiment receives information defining a group communication from a first network, detects an availability of at least one local uni-directional radio broadcast network outside the first network, transmits an acknowledgment indicating an intention to connect to the at least one local uni-directional radio broadcast network, and monitors the group communication on the at least one local uni-directional radio broadcast network.
