Aspect Communications Corporation - San Jose CA

International Classification:

H04M 3100

US Classification:

370352, 370356, 37922109, 37922112

Abstract:

A network transfer system for transferring a voice call and data between two or more call centers linked by independent voice and data networks is disclosed. The system effects the transfer of the voice call over the voice network without requiring additional information to be transferred with the call. A network transfer module receives a request from the sending call center and directs the sending call center to connect the call to a specific address in a receiving call center. The network transfer module transfers the data to the call receptor in the receiving call center where it is associated with the address to which the call has been directed. The call receptor at the receiving call center assigns a time acceptance window to each call being sent so that data association with wrong numbers is minimized and the capability for queuing multiple calls at a singe address is established.

International Classification:

G06F 9/44

US Classification:

719316, 719330, 709219

Abstract:

A system and methodology providing service invocation for occasionally connected computing devices is described. In one embodiment, for example, in an occasionally connected computing environment, a system of the present invention for providing deferred invocation of services for a mobile device is described that comprises: an application running on a mobile device; a device-side object providing mobile support for a particular service from a server, the device-side object intercepting any requests from the application for invocation of the particular service, thereby deferring actual invocation of the particular service at that time; and a server-side object residing on the server that passes the requests on to a service provider for actual invocation while the mobile device is connected, and returns any result from the actual invocation back to the mobile device for use by the application.

International Classification:

H04B 3/36

US Classification:

3404071, 701 36

Abstract:

A system for providing information to a vehicle occupant includes a haptic control element which is provided in the vehicle and is configured to generate a haptic signal. An electronic control unit is operatively connected to the haptic control element and activates the haptic control element in order to indicate with a haptic signal that information is available for retrieval.

International Classification:

G06K 13/24

US Classification:

235384, 235382, 2353825, 23546213, 705 5, 705 13, 340 52, 340 522, 340 525, 340 528, 4554143, 455899

Abstract:

A check-in method for airlines allows passengers to use Short Message Service (SMS) to check-in themselves and baggage. A passenger requests to check-in via SMS from practically anywhere and not limited to the airport. After receipt of the request, a confirmation message is sent back to the passenger's registered mobile phone number by SMS. The system will ask the passenger for, and receive from the passenger, the number of bags they intend to check-in for the flight. The passengers can in some embodiments drop the baggage off without any required further action. The system issues an SMS-based cryptographically secure code, such as a bar-code boarding pass to the passenger once the baggage (if any) is successfully transferred and registered to existing baggage management systems through the process above. This code, when scanned, recognized and authenticated provides identification and security clearance for the passenger to board the aircraft.

US Classification:

707705

Abstract:

Systems, methods and computer program products for inherently integrating mobility with an enterprise are described herein. Enterprise data is accessed from one or more data sources, wherein such data sources may comprise structured and unstructured data sources. The data is transferred from the enterprise to a plurality of mobile devices over a plurality of diverse networks. In an embodiment, such transfer takes into consideration characteristics of the diverse networks. The enterprise receives data generated by mobile devices while performing enterprise-related operations at the wireless edge. The enterprise responds to environmental changes using the received data.
