US Patent:

8576270, Nov 5, 2013

Filed:

Oct 11, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/246956

Inventors:

John M. Vitale - Monroe Township NJ, US
Stuart Morris - South Plainfield NJ, US

Assignee:

Glowpoint, Inc. - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

H04N 7/14
H04M 1/64
H04M 11/00
H04M 3/42

US Classification:

348 1406, 348 1401, 379 8812, 379 8813, 37920101, 37920708

Abstract:

The disclosed systems and methods provide intelligent device inspection and interrogation in an application layer system to route packet-based network calls. These systems and methods can be used to detect the status of a specified endpoint. Endpoint devices can be configured to communicate status information to a central call manager. Endpoints can also be periodically polled to request device information. Pre-defined rules applied at the central call manager can be used to process call flow based on the device information. These rules can be configured so that a call that is not completed for any reason can be transferred to another destination such as a video mail service or an automated or live operator service.

International Classification:

G16H 80/00

Abstract:

A peer-to-peer media sharing network is facilitated by a central controller which maintains a map of media stream devices acting as sources, destinations, and relays for media streams. The controller maintains a remote connection with each media stream device, monitoring operational status and modifying the map as required in response to conditions. Each media stream device manages its own remote peer connections with other media stream devices by, e.g., initiating a peer connection once both the destination node and the desired stream are available. For simplicity and rapid response to changing status conditions, the map may include node groups comprising various types of nodes, such as aggregation groups, distribution groups, and link groups. Media stream devices may autonomously alter connections within groups as necessary to maintain connections.

International Classification:

H04L 12/16

US Classification:

370260000
