    摘要: In an internet telephony system, toll-free service and the calls that are accepted and paid for can be specified by the IP telephony system user to be limited according to the calling party's identity, time of day, day of week or other criteria. Data that is used to screen or filter incoming calls is programmed into a call manager by the IP telephone system user's broadband residential gateway. Using such a system the user can carefully screen calls that are paid for and more closely control telecommunications service costs. More generally, the user has the ability to store predefined call handling criteria, which may be executed by the broadband residential gateway and/or the call manager.

    摘要: The present invention includes a method, system and computer program product for providing for transmission of internet protocol traffic along a transmission path in a broadband communication system such that a virtual leased IP line provides a guaranteed minimum bandwidth. In one embodiment, the method includes the steps of requesting, by a user, reservation of a guaranteed minimum bandwidth sufficient for a predetermined IP traffic usage; selecting automatically and dynamically, by a call manager in response to requesting by the user, a transmission path for the virtual leased IP line wherein the path provides at least the guaranteed minimum bandwidth sufficient to accommodate the predetermined IP traffic usage; and reserving, by the call manager, the bandwidth for the transmission path.

    摘要: The present invention provides for customer premises remote monitoring for use in a powerful, facilities-based, broadband communications system that guarantees voice, data and video communication reliability and security to users for an multimedia system including integrated telephone, television and data network. The remote monitoring service enables, for example, the environment of the system subscriber's customer premises of to be monitored from a remote location by those authorized by the subscriber. Further, customer premises equipment usage may be monitored. The customer premises equipment, such as a broadband residential gateway (BRG) may be equipped with a microphone(s) and camera(s) (possibly including a speaker(s)) and the system, for example, the BRG and IP Central Station may be configured to allow active monitoring of a the customer premises from a remote location. Rather than including a microphone and camera (with or without a speaker(s)) for the BRG, the remote monitoring feature may be constructed to operate on a multimedia personal computer (PC) connected to the BRG. The remote monitoring may be performed even if one of the users telephones is off the hook by configuring the customer premise equipment to work independent of telephone status. The remote monitoring information may be seen and heard in real time or saved to memory. As such, the system may also be configured to store all the video and/or audio during a monitoring period on a storage device at the subscriber's residence (e.g., VCR, digital disk, etc.), in a storage system at IP Central Station, or at any third party location such as a security service. The remote monitoring feature may be configured with emergency remote monitoring capability so that in response to someone at the customer premises dialing 911 the police, fire department, or any other designated party or telephone number, the system may automatically provided monitoring capabilities to emergency personnel. The system may be configured with a remote monitoring lockout feature for user privacy. Further, the emergency remote monitoring (e.g., 911) feature may be configured to automatically override an active lockout so that emergency personnel can monitor the premises in response to an emergency call. The remote monitoring feature may be used to notify a subscriber that a telephone is off-ho

    摘要: A residential private branch exchange (PBX) allowing IP telephones, analog telephones and computers to connect to an IP communication network. A broadband residential gateway (BRG) PBX provides residences with multiple phone lines capability and the implementation of complex calling features traditionally associated with complex and expensive business PBX systems. The BRG PBX provides an open architecture interface minimizing problems during installation and operation, minimizes interoperability problems across multi-vendor equipment platforms and may provide customers with an option to bypass the local telephone company's high cost infrastructure. The BRG PBX may also provide a range of services from basic calling with few features to highly sophisticated calling features servicing multiple phone lines to the residence. The BRG PBX may be configured to connect multiple BRG PBX systems together in a Local Area Network (LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN) configuration. These network configurations may be implemented to connect neighborhoods or families across multiple geographic regions. In addition to having the capability of connecting to each other, the BRG PBXs may be connected to IP Central Stations forming an IP communication network.

    摘要: The present invention provides a system and method for a reliable, low-cost, secure Internet Protocol (IP) based network that provides broadband-based voice communications as well as video and data communications. The IP network is arranged to function with the infrastructure of the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), to control telephone calls in SS7 type networks and to provide the features, applications, and services of the typical SS7 networks in a voice over IP network. The present invention supports much larger cost effective call volumes than the present network systems, allows accommodation of a wide range of broadband-based service platforms, provides flexibility to support current and future calling feature services, and provides high quality voice transmission.
