Appl. No.:

12/241949

Inventors:

Gregory D. Weber - Westminster CO, US
David S. Mohler - Arvada CO, US

Assignee:

Avaya Inc. - Basking Ridge NJ

International Classification:

H04M 11/00

US Classification:

379 8814, 379 76, 379 8822

Abstract:

A technique is disclosed that enables a telecommunications user to initially enter a greeting message in a single media format such as either voice or text. Subsequently, this greeting message is used by a server in response to any communication event that arrives for the user, such as a voice call or an email message, regardless of the media format of the arriving communication event. When the server receives arrival notifications of various communication events, it generates a customized greeting message in response to that event and in the same media format as the event itself. In other words, the server represents a previously-prepared outgoing voice or text message i) as a voice message in response to an incoming voice call and ii) as a textual message in response to an email, SMS text message, or instant message.

Assignee:

Avaya Inc. - Basking Ridge NJ

International Classification:

H04L 29/06

US Classification:

726 5, 726 1, 726 2, 726 3, 726 4, 726 6, 726 13, 726 15

Abstract:

The present invention provides mechanisms for sharing user information, including user authentication information, across communication networks and more specifically across networks separated by one or more Session Border Controllers (SBCs). The authentication of a user at one network can be leveraged by the second network to invoke one or more applications at the second network in connection with administering a communication session for the user.

Assignee:

International Classification:

G01R 31/08

US Classification:

370241, 370225, 370356, 714 421

Abstract:

A first communication device detects a failure on a communication channel of a primary network. Based on the failure, the first communication device sends communications directed to a second communication device to a secondary network. A secondary network domain controller sends the communications to the primary network via a different communication channel. This can be done by looking at an identifier such as an IP address. This can also happen based on being able to communicate between the secondary network and the primary network via the different communication channel. The primary network then sends the communication to the second communication device. In addition, communications from the second communication device are routed in a similar manner to the first communication device. Sending the communications back into the primary network allows users to have access to features not provided by the secondary network.

International Classification:

H04L 9/32

US Classification:

713158

Abstract:

A proxy server causes an authentication authority to authenticate a client in response to a first Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) request of the client on a connection. It does not cause the client to be authenticated in response subsequent requests on the connection as long as the underlying connection is not broken, the subsequent requests are on behalf of the same client, the client has not been removed from the system, the client's password has not changed, a “safety net” timer has not expired, or any other policy that the server chooses to enforce. This eliminates the overhead of constant re-authentication in response to each SIP request.

H04M 3/42
H04M 3/523

Abstract:

Embodiments of the disclosure provide a mobile-specific intermediary replacement for the toll free service. This mobile intermediary entity or service can provide four primary call invocation types. Namely, calls can be invoked through a dialer of the mobile device, through a web interface accessed through the mobile device, through a mobile application executing on the mobile device, or through a personal assistant of similar service. The mobile intermediary entity or service can also provide rich, supplementary services for mobile callers. These services can include but are not limited to menu navigation, call continuity, caller geo-location awareness, and awareness of the caller's mobile network operator's identifier. Services natively provided by the called enterprise, such as call conferencing, can also be provided within the call.

International Classification:

H04L 29/08
G06F 9/455

Abstract:

Methods and systems are provided that utilize the functionality of an end user device in binding a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) media client on an end user device with a VDI host client on a VDI server. In particular, the native operating system (OS) on the end user device may take a screen-shot of a quick response (QR) code displayed to a graphical user interface of the end user device. The end user device may provide information associated with the screen-shot of the QR code to a collaboration server where the collaboration server binds the VDI media client together with the VDI host client upon verifying the information associated with the screen-shot of the QR code.
