US Patent:

6442523, Aug 27, 2002

Filed:

May 16, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/572758

Inventors:

Steven H. Siegel - Brooklyn NY 11215

International Classification:

G09B 506

US Classification:

704270, 704260, 434169, 434185

Abstract:

A method of navigating textual information via auditory indicators is provided. Through the pervasive and immediate articulation of virtually all textual elements in response to a comparatively passive action, such as a selection device rollover, a user may quickly peruse titles, headings, list items, and so on, as well as emphasized text, paragraphs, captions, and virtually any unit of visually contiguous text. A user may also hear a particular selected word via a slightly more active action, such as clicking a mouse button. Via use of this method, a child, or other user who may understand a language, but not be able to recognize its orthography, may successfully and easily navigate textual documents.

Via use of this method, a child, or other user who may understand a language, but not be able to recognize its orthography, may successfully and easily navigate textual documents. The method also resumes articulation of text that has been stopped due to a passive deindication. The articulation is restarted approximately at the word where it was stopped.

Appl. No.:

10/692767

Inventors:

Steven H. Siegel - Brooklyn NY, US

International Classification:

G06F 3/00

US Classification:

715738, 715760, 715733

Abstract:

A method for limiting Internet access via the World Wide Web is disclosed. The method may be used to help provide a safe Internet experience for children, to help enforce business practices with respect to the World Wide Web, and analogous purposes. Rather than relying on lists or content filtering, which can provide an unnatural and/or ineffective browsing experience, the method instead allows a computer owner or administrator to specify a “Navigation Boundary”, similar in nature to a fence, with respect to a particular domain, and subsequently allow browser navigation only within that boundary. The boundary substantially follows the “hyperlink contours” of the domain, and thus is deterministic in nature, such that users do not substantially experience the effect of randomly being denied access to a site. Additionally, the user may graphically view his or her location with respect to the boundary.

International Classification:

H04Q 7/00
G06F 15/16

US Classification:

370328, 370331, 709230

Abstract:

Disclosed are network-based device, method and computer readable medium associated with an IP Multimedia Subsystem for providing registration alerts in the IMS system. The method embodiment includes detecting a predetermined event associated with a registration state associated with all of a user's registrations in the IMS and transmitting a notification to a user which reports the occurrence of the predetermined event. The method may also include taking an action relative to the user's registration state in the IMS system based on the user interaction with the notification.

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for enabling registration of an endpoint device that is incapable of supporting a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) based Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) registration are disclosed. For example, the method performs a static registration of the endpoint device in a plurality network elements associated with an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network by provisioning that is initiated by a service provider of the IMS network. The method processes an originating call request or a terminating call request associated with the endpoint device by an Application Server (AS) using the static registration, wherein the application server is one of the plurality network elements.

International Classification:

G06F 15/173

US Classification:

709240, 709226

Abstract:

Different services are provided to different users or groups of users of an aggregate endpoint in an internet protocol multimedia subsystem (IMS) network. The different users or groups of users are differentiated based on service profiles designated by different PUIDs for the different users or groups of users of each of the users or groups of users. Different services for transmission and/or receipt of packets for the different users or groups of users of the aggregate endpoint are provided, depending upon the differentiation between the different users or groups of users.

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for enabling registration of an Aggregate End Point (AEP) device that is incapable of supporting a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) based Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) registration are disclosed. The method performs a static registration of the AEP device in a plurality of network elements associated with an Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network by provisioning. The method then processes an originating call request or a terminating call request associated with the AEP device using the static registration.

International Classification:

US Classification:

709223, 709227

Abstract:

Systems and techniques for managing a user persona presented in a communication session. In response to a request from an originating user for a communication session, a persona manager for the originating user is invoked, examining request details and the nature and context of the requested communication session and selecting a persona for the user, selection of the persona being employed to indicate services associated with the communication. Similarly, in response to a request from an originating user for a communication session, a persona manager for the receiving user to whom the request is directed examines details of the request and the nature and context of the communication session and makes decisions relating to persona selection for the receiving user. The decision may involve accepting a persona indicated in the originating user's request, or selecting a different persona and creating routing a request to be routed to the receiving user.
