Filed:

Jan 14, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/758350

Inventors:

Christopher Chen - San Francisco CA, US
Victor Zhao - San Francisco CA, US

International Classification:

H04L012/66

US Classification:

370352000

Abstract:

A system and method for managing voice communications routes a first telephone call from a remote source to a remote destination using a second telephone call. The first telephone call is made through a first network, which may be one of a circuit switching network and a packet switching network, while the second telephone call is made through a second network, which is one of the circuit and packet switching network that differs from the first network. The second telephone call is initiated in response to the first telephone call. The first and second telephone calls are then interconnected to connect the remote source to the remote destination.

International Classification:

H04L012/66

US Classification:

370356000, 370401000

Abstract:

A system and method for managing voice communications utilizes a switching unit to selectively interconnect signal paths between a telephone, a circuit switching network and a packet switching network at the premises of a telephone line subscriber to selectively route telecommunication signals between the telephone, the circuit switching network and the packet switching network. Thus, the switching unit allows one or more telephone calls to be established through the circuit switching network and/or through the packet switching network.

International Classification:

H04B001/38
H04M001/00

US Classification:

455415000, 455567000, 455426100

Abstract:

A telecommunications system and method for providing a notification of the availability of a target communication device to receive a call monitors the target communication device to effectuate a generation of a notification signal at a calling communication device when the target communication device is available to receive a call. The monitoring of the target communication device may involve receiving the latest status information of the target communication device from a network, such as a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) network or a cellular telephone network.

H04L 12/26
H04L 12/947

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for detecting sources of computer network failures. One of the methods includes identifying a network flow in a computer network between a source and a destination; performing a first probe to determine whether there is end-to-end connectivity between the source and the destination; in response to determining that there is no end-to-end connectivity between the host and the destination, performing one or more additional probes including a second probe to determine whether each hop in the path of the network flow between the source and the destination is operational including requesting that the source transmit a respective first trace diagnostic packet to each hop in the path of the network flow; and determining whether at least one link of the computer network that is part of the path of the network flow has failed based on the results.

Abstract:

Techniques for ranking of selected bots are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise a client front-end component operative to receive a bot contact display prompt from a client device; and send an ordered bot contact list to the client device; a bot contact list component operative to retrieve a bot contact list from a selection component, the bot contact list comprising a plurality of bot contacts; and a contact ranking component operative to determine a ranking weight for each of the plurality of bot contacts; and generate the ordered bot contact list by ordering the bot contact list based on the ranking weight. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

International Classification:

H04L 12/58
H04L 29/08

Abstract:

Exemplary embodiments relate to techniques for presenting and targeting media in communications services. Media, such as live events, updates on a topic of interest, or digests of news sites or other content providers may be surfaced to a user in a number of ways; for example, an article view relating to the topic, a messaging view showing message threads, a media view showing interesting pieces of media, or in an active conversation based on analysis of a conversation and trending topics, such as news events. A system may suggest recipients that may be interested in discussing the content. The recipients may be presented in a ranked order based, for example, on an affinity or relationship of the recipients to a publisher of the content. Publishers may add or remove topics, and may set an end-time at which updates cease. The updates may be presented in a messaging thread.
