International Classification:

H04M 3/42
H04L 12/66

US Classification:

37920101, 370352

Abstract:

A system for effecting a telephone call between telephonic devices is operative to use a computer network, without manual use of the alphanumeric keypads. A third party call control (3PCC) application program interface (API) provides the capability for users to use a web browser or other Internet capable software to place a call, rather than using the telephone keypad. A third party call control application program interface includes a uniform resource locator operable over the Internet to cause a call between a first telephonic device and a second telephonic device to be completed. The uniform resource locator includes identification of the first telephonic device and identification of the second telephonic device.

Inventors:

Jeffrey Citron - Holmdel NJ, US
Louis Mamakos - Lawrenceville NJ, US

International Classification:

H04L 12/28

US Classification:

370389000

Abstract:

A method and system are disclosed to detect a change in location of a device attached to a communications network including identifying a first address of a device attached to a communications network, identifying the removal of the device from the communications network, identifying when the device is reconnected to the communications network, identifying a second address of the device after the device is reconnected to the communications network, recording the amount of time between the removal and the reconnection of the device with the communication network, evaluating the differences between the first and second addresses, and identifying a change in location of the device as a function of the differences between the first and second addresses.

Appl. No.:

11/770992

Inventors:

Jeffrey Citron - Holmdel NJ, US
Louis Mamakos - Lawrenceville NJ, US

International Classification:

H04M 15/00

US Classification:

379114150

Abstract:

Method and apparatus for providing and using a telephone calling card are described. In one example, a planar body includes a memory system, a dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) generator, and a speaker. The memory system is configured to store identification data for allowing a user to place a telephone call. The DTMF generator is coupled to the memory system and is configured to generate password-protected DTMF tones to convey the identification data. The speaker is coupled to the DTMF generator and is configured to emit the DTMF tones. The DTMF tones may be played into a telephone for making a call using the telephone calling card apparatus. Since the identification data (e.g., account number and/or personal identification number) is played into the telephone and password-protected, rather than being manually entered by the user, the identification data is less susceptible to unauthorized disclosure and thus less susceptible to fraudulent use.

International Classification:

H04W 4/00

US Classification:

4554321

Abstract:

Systems and methods for avoiding roaming or communications charges when a mobile communications device such as a cellular telephone receives an incoming telephone call use a non-native communications provider, such as a VOIP service provider to redirect the call. A subscriber's mobile communications device establishes a data connection to the VOIP service provider through a data network, and call forwarding instructions are issued to the subscriber's telephony service provider to cause calls directed to the subscriber's mobile communications device to be redirected to a forwarding telephone number associated with the VOIP service provider. When a call is placed to the subscriber's normal telephone number, the call is forwarded to the VOIP service provider. The VOIP service provider establishes a VOIP communications channel with the subscriber's mobile communications device via a data network, and the incoming call is connected to the subscriber's mobile communications device via the VOIP communications channel.
