Abstract:
A method and apparatus for dynamically adjusting an aspect ratio of an image during a video call is described herein. Specifically, a method for dynamically adjusting the aspect ratio of an image during a video call may include obtaining at least one display parameter of a display device, performing a comparison of the at least one display parameter to at least one image capture parameter of a capture device, capturing an original image, modifying the original image based on the comparison performed, wherein the modified image has an adjusted aspect ratio different from an aspect ratio of the original image, and sending the modified image to the display device.
Abstract:
A method and system for determining and updating configuration settings on a device are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method for updating configuration settings on a device may include detecting an error condition produced by executing an app on the device, collecting information associated with the error condition, the app and the device responsive to the detected error condition, sending a request for new configuration settings, wherein the request includes the collected information, receiving one or more new configuration settings in response to the request, and updating one or more configuration settings of at least one of the device or the app using the new configuration settings received.

Abstract:
Methods and systems for determining availability of a user based on mobile device status are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method for determining availability of a user based on mobile device status may include receiving, at a first device, an instruction to check a status of a second device; transmitting a status request from the first device to the second device; and receiving, responsive to the status request, a message from the second device indicating a telephony status of the second device.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for controlling media and signaling channels of a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephony communication are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method for controlling media and signaling channels of a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephony communication may include transmitting call signaling information over a first network to establish a call between a first device and a second device; transmitting media associated with the call between the first device and the second device over a second network, wherein the first network is different from the second network; determining a third network is available for telephony communications; and transmitting the media associated with the call between the first device and the second device over the third network while the call signaling information continues to be transmitted over the first network.

Abstract:
Systems and methods for establishing an IP telephone call to a called party's telephony device include attempting to send a call setup request directly to the called party's telephony device, and requesting that a push notification be sent to the called party's telephony device. If the direct request does not reach the called party's telephony device, the push notification will result in the called party's telephony device contacting the IP telephony system to setup the requested call. In some embodiments, the request for a push notification is not sent until the direct request is determined to have failed.
