A IP telephony service allows customers to form user groups. Each user group can include multiple telephony devices that are associated with one or more users. One or more group identifiers would be associated with each user group. When an incoming communication is directed to a user group, a group identifier is used to retrieve a list of the members of the group, or a list of devices that correspond to the members of the user group. The communication is then sent to one or more members of the group, or to one or more of the devices that correspond to members of the user group. Handling preferences may determine how the incoming communication is delivered. In some instances, the incoming communication could be a telephone call. In other instances, the incoming communication could be a SMS message or an instant message.

Messages may be reformatted to include the phone number of the message sender. The reformatted message can then present the user with an option to return the message via a phone call. The reformatted message can include more than one phone number, in which case the sender's phone numbers can be prioritized for presentation to the user. The reformatted message can also present the user with an option to review notes or other contact-specific information prior to responding to the message.

Automatic forwarding of incoming calls based on user interaction with devices

Номер: US20200162521A1
Автор: Calvin Choe, Michael Kostersitz, Shai Guday
Принадлежит: Microsoft Technology Licensing LLC

An automated registration service supported on an application server that interoperates with an IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) core network is configured to dynamically register and deregister devices that are all associated with one or more commonly-utilized phone numbers. The service may assign the phone number to registered devices and, in contrast, un-assign the phone number from deregistered devices. The registration and deregistration of the devices may occur based on the amount of interaction with the device and other real-time contextual information. Furthermore, the automated registration service intelligently determines which registered devices to forward incoming video and/or audio calls to based on various contextual information, including the capabilities of device, identified location of a user, user preferences, etc. By intelligently selecting which devices should receive an incoming call, unnecessary use of bandwidth, data, and resources (e.g., battery power) can be reduced.

Extension of authorization framework

Номер: US20160269388A1
Автор: Geoff Baskwill, Gordon Brunson, Joel M. Ezell, Seung Bong (Stephen) Han
Принадлежит: Avaya Inc

To provide better administrative access control for allowing access to network applications, an authorization framework is extended by dynamically adding administrative access control to the authorization framework. For example, the authorization framework can be extended by adding a plug-in to the authorization framework. The authorization framework manages the access control by generating tokens. For example, a token may be a digital certificate. The tokens define what access control an application, such as a client application has when accessing the network application. The tokens are based on the dynamically added administrative access control. When a request for a token is securely received, the authorization framework generates a token that identifies if the application (e.g., the client application) is allowed or not allowed to access the network application. The token is then used by the application to access the network application.

The application server obtains a location of a primary device assigned to indicate the device user's location, and also a location of each of at least one secondary device of the set of devices. The service-related operation is then executed with restriction to the primary device and to those of the secondary devices, if any, that are located within a predetermined proximity range to the primary device, i.e. presumably within reach for the user. Unnecessary signaling and alerting can thereby be avoided since the service-related operation will not be executed for any secondary device that is beyond reach for the user and thus cannot be used for communication.
