Filed:

Aug 7, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/633668

Inventors:

James Patrick Dunn - Sandwich IL
Ronald Bruce Martin - Carol Stream IL
John William Peterson - Lisle IL

Assignee:

Lucent Technologies Inc. - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

G06F 1730

US Classification:

707 3, 37922113, 37921002, 37922001, 707 10, 7071041

Abstract:

A method for discovering and assigning telephone numbers that have commercial, trademark or vanity significance to requesting subscribers on a worldwide scale. The method includes determining numbers that have value because they potentially will be requested for commercial, trademark or vanity purposes by companies or persons active in various locations in the world. Language translations and transliterations are also taken into account in order to obtain a telephone number that will retain its commercial, trademark or vanity value in an area that speaks a different language.

Inventors:

Anne Yin-Fee Lee - Naperville IL 60563
Ronald Bruce Martin - Carol Stream IL 60188

International Classification:

H04M 1100

US Classification:

379 9317, 37921801, 379 9001, 370352

Abstract:

The present invention provides a method for redirecting a calling phone from a finder service to a destination phone. A communication system receives a request to generate a set of destination names at the finder service from the calling phone. If the calling phone is capable of processing IP data, the communication system sends a text-based menu interface including the set of destination names to the calling phone. The calling phone may send a menu response indicating one of the set of destination names to the communication system. The communication system receives the menu response from the calling phone and redirects the calling phone to the destination name.

International Classification:

H04Q 700

US Classification:

455436, 370331

Abstract:

An improved wireless network provides intersystem handoffs between existing circuit wireless systems and packet systems. A packet wireless system is enhanced to provide translation between circuit and packet call models. A Media Gateway translates bearer traffic between formats used in each system. The Media Gateway, a Media Gateway Control Function, and an associated Call State Control Function, cooperate to emulate the behavior of a circuit wireless system, so that when interoperating with conventional circuit systems, the packet system appears to be another circuit wireless system. Where necessary, the Media Gateway, Media Gateway Control Function, and Call State Control Function further cooperate to emulate the functions of an anchor MSC of a circuit wireless system.

Assignee:

Lucent Technologies Inc. - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

H04M003/42

US Classification:

37920201, 37920501

Abstract:

Participants on a conference call are managed by terminating incoming calls at a conference bridge and storing a record for each call entering the conference call, each record including identification of the caller and a corresponding port number of the conference bridge assigned to the call. A list of all callers currently connected to the conference call is maintained. Upon receiving a request from an administrative host of the conference call, the list of current conference call participants is communicated to the host. Upon receipt of a disconnect request from the host identifying a first record associated with a first conference call participant to be disconnected, the first record a corresponding first port number is located, and the call associated with the first port number is disconnected.

Appl. No.:

10/440629

Inventors:

John J. MacNamara - Orland Park IL, US
Randall Joe Wilson - Naperville IL, US
Christopher John Davolos - Warrenville IL, US
Ronald Bruce Martin - Carol Stream IL, US

Assignee:

Lucent Technologies Inc. - Murray Hill NJ

International Classification:

H04M 1/00

US Classification:

37937301, 4554141

Abstract:

An end user terminal (EUT), e. g. , such as mobile terminal (MT) (), is provided for connecting with an incoming call received over a communications network (A). Suitably, the EUT includes an alerting function and/or equipment that provides perceivable alerting in response to an incoming call attempting to connect with the EUT over the communications network (A). An alert sensor (AS) () detects an alerting status of the EUT, which is then communicated over the communications network (A), e. g. , back to the calling EUT.

International Classification:

H04M 3/42

US Classification:

37920401, 455518, 455519

Abstract:

The present invention provides a method for establishing a multi-user call in a communication system. The communication system receives a call request to establish a group call with a shared group of users. The communication system determines which of the plurality of individual users should be excluded from the call and connects each of the group of included users to establish a multi-user call. The communication system preferably indicates that a unit was not currently available, for example by playing a prerecorded message, playing a tone and also preferably indicates why a unit was not available.

International Classification:

H04W 24/00

US Classification:

455423, 455 301, 455456, 455 412

Abstract:

The present invention provides a method for storing data relating to network conditions in a mobile unit. A mobile station receives a signal from a base station. The mobile station stores data associated with the signal in memory within the mobile unit. When the mobile unit determines that the signal has been dropped, the mobile unit freezes the memory until it can transmit the data to a network outage data center. This helps the system diagnose and correct transient service outages.
