Abstract:
Methods and systems for communication history reconciliation amongst linked devices are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method for communication history reconciliation amongst linked devices may include receiving an incoming communication request directed to a communication identifier associated with a user account, transmitting the communication request to at least a first device and a second device associated with the user account, receiving, responsive to the communication request, a message from the first device indicating that the first device has accepted the communication request to establish a call, and transmitting, to the second device, an indication that the communication request was accepted by the first device.

Abstract:
Methods and systems for forwarding data packets containing media of an Internet protocol (IP) communication are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method for forwarding data packets containing media of an IP communication may include receiving IP communication setup signaling that includes an indication of a first originating IP address for data packets that are to be forwarded to a destination address; setting the first originating IP address as an authorized originating IP address; receiving a data packet from a second originating IP address directed to the destination address; and determining whether to forward the data packet from the second originating IP address to the destination address based on whether a first pre-defined time interval has elapsed since a last data packet was received from the first originating IP address.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for terminating telephony communications to a mobile telephony device associated with a first native telephone number are disclosed. The method comprises: receiving, from a native mobile telephony provider network associated with the first native telephone number, a telephony communication that was originally directed to the first native telephone number but which has been forwarded to a forwarding access number, where the telephony communication includes a header comprising the first native telephone number; retrieving the native telephone number from the header; mapping the native telephone number to a mobile telephony device of a subscriber; and terminating the received telephony communication to the mobile telephony device associated with the native telephone number.
Abstract:
A first telephony device sets up a first communication channel through an Internet protocol (IP) network for conducting an IP based telephony communication with a second telephony device. The first communication channel includes one or more media relays. The first telephony device then begins to conduct the telephony communication with the second telephony device over the first communication channel. While the initial stages of the telephony communication are ongoing, the first telephony device sets up a second communication channel with the second telephony device that does not utilize media relays. The telephony communication is then switched to the second communication channel. Proceeding in this fashion ensures that a communication channel can be rapidly established between the first and second telephony devices so that the telephony communication can quickly commence.
