Принадлежит: Individual

A system and method for managing incoming and outgoing communications may include a definition of if, when, and who may communicate with a recipient. The identification of the communication may be concealed in that no actual addresses, phone numbers, or other addressing identifications are required to be exchanged by the communication initiator and recipient. In an example, if the database contains call management settings for a call recipient, the application logic may evaluate the rules to determine if a particular caller is authorized to connect with the call recipient at the current time and date. The application logic may connect the call utilizing the public telephone switch. The caller and call recipient phone numbers may be stored in a database.

Systems, methods, and instrumentalities are disclosed to provide pre-negotiation of a video codec. An IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) entity, such as a service centralization and continuity application server (SCC AS), may send a first session initiation protocol (SIP) message to a circuit switched domain entity via an IMS core network. The first SIP message may correspond to a video call in an on-going IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) session. The first SIP message may include one or more video codecs supported by the SCC AS and the UE associated with the video call. The SCC AS may receive a second SIP message from the circuit switched domain entity. The second SIP message may include the video codec, which may be one of the video codecs included in the first SIP message. The SCC AS may send the video codec to a user equipment (UE) associated with the video call.

Generating a contact firewall for protecting participants of a sender-controlled media (SCM) platform may include receiving an indication that a non-participant sender of the SCM platform has initiated contact with a participant recipient, using sender information associated with the contact instance to pole participants of the platform regarding a spammer status value for the sender, aggregating the spammer status values, and, based on a comparison of the aggregated spammer status values with a spammer threshold, causing future contacts from the sender to be rejected by the platform. Similar techniques may be implemented for generating a contact firewall for protecting members of a call group.

A cloud-based real-time crime center with dispatch directed digital media payloads configured to support both emergency dispatchers and emergency responders responding to an incident requiring assistance. The new dispatch system is “cloud-based” in that it provides a central hub or repository for gathering live video streams and data streams that are processed to fuse them together to provide a map-based interface for the dispatcher to access via a desktop or other computing station at a central agency location and for the responders in the field to access via vehicle-mounted or portable client devices. The dispatch system processes the video and data streams to generate a dispatch directed payload that includes data and video relevant to the identified incident and that can be readily communicated (due to its reduced or controlled size) to field responders to make their response more effective and to increase both the safety of the responders and those involved in the incident.

A method for generating a ring tone for a given caller based on a prior conversation with that caller. A portion of a conversation with a given caller is recorded and stored in memory as a ring tone. When a subsequent call is received from the same caller, identified by caller ID, the ring tone is played, alerting the user to the incoming call as well as the context of their prior communication. In alternative embodiments of the invention, a prior textual or video conversation is used as the basis for a ring tone, and/or the ‘ring tone’ is delivered by other than audio means. The invention is capable of implementation in telecommunications systems such as cellular, local exchange, and VOIP, and in combination with other forms of internet-based telecommunication.

Upon the identification, the program prevents a display screen of the mobile device from outputting an incoming call ringing alert. The program answers the incoming call and analyzes the call to detect whether the answered call is a voice call. Upon detecting that the answered incoming call is a voice call, the program outputs the incoming call ringing alert via the display screen. Otherwise, if the answered incoming call is a fax transmission, the program merges the call with a fax server, such that the fax server receives the fax transmission. Other embodiments are also described and claimed. 1. A method performed by a processor executing a fax software program in a mobile device comprising:identifying, by the fax software program, an incoming call at the mobile device;upon identifying the incoming call, preventing, by the program, a display screen of the mobile device from outputting an incoming call ringing alert;answering, by the program, the identified incoming call;analyzing, by the program, the answered incoming call to detect whether the answered incoming call is a voice call; andupon detecting that the answered incoming call is the voice call, outputting, by the program, the incoming call ringing alert via the display screen.2. The method of claim 1 , wherein outputting the alert comprises activating a display screen that displays a graphical user interface (GUI) of an incoming call ringing screen.3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the incoming call ringing screen provides the user with 1) a first option to pick up the answered incoming call claim 2 , and 2) a second option to conference the answered incoming call with a voicemail service.4.

At an actual reception counter, for example, a person in charge of reception can see appearance and belongings of a visitor, and may guess the business of the visitor before the visitor reaches the reception counter. However, in communication between communication terminals, there is a problem about usability such that contents on one side cannot be confirmed on a communication terminal on the other side before requesting communication. To solve the problem, when communication has been established between one or more terminals on a customer side and a terminal on an operator side, the output control unit of the terminal on the operator side executes control for starting output of content data of the terminals on the customer side at the terminal itself. Based on a request for starting output by the terminal on the operator side, the output control unit of the terminal on the customer side executes control for starting output of content data of the terminal on the operator side.

A cloud-based real-time crime center with dispatch directed digital media payloads configured to support both emergency dispatchers and emergency responders responding to an incident requiring assistance. The new dispatch system is “cloud-based” in that it provides a central hub or repository for gathering live video streams and data streams that are processed to fuse them together to provide a map-based interface for the dispatcher to access via a desktop or other computing station at a central agency location and for the responders in the field to access via vehicle-mounted or portable client devices. The dispatch system processes the video and data streams to generate a dispatch directed payload that includes data and video relevant to the identified incident and that can be readily communicated (due to its reduced or controlled size) to field responders to make their response more effective and to increase both the safety of the responders and those involved in the incident.

The disclosed techniques improve user engagement and promote efficient use of computing resources by providing dynamically controlled aspect ratios for communication session renderings based on a physical orientation of a device. In some configurations, a system can select a first aspect ratio for individual video streams of a communication session when a device is in a first orientation, e.g., a portrait orientation. In addition, the system can select a second aspect ratio for the individual video streams when the device is in a second orientation, e.g., a landscape orientation. In some configurations, the first aspect ratio can be greater than the second aspect ratio, or the aspect ratios can be selected based on a target aspect ratio, which can be adjusted over time. By dynamically selecting an aspect ratio for individual stream renderings, screen space of a device can be optimized while the device is held in various physical orientations.
