Abstract: The playback of video content delivered over a wireless network can be controlled by the provision of various control functions that can be actuated by the user. The controlled playback can be implemented on a system level, in which the delivery of the video content is controlled in response to receiving control actuation signals from a receiver device or can be implemented at the receiver device level by storing the video content and controlling the rendering of the content based on user actuations. In either implementation, the playback control can include pausing, stopping, fast-forwarding, rewinding, reversing, fast-reversing and skipping of the video content.

Abstract: A telephone system architecture enabling various components of a video based telephone system to be distributed geographically yet operates as a seamlessly integrated system. A transcoding gateway provides an interface to a third generation wireless network and received video messages in a plurality of formats. These video messages are converted to a single format and provided to the video media server. The video media server can store the video messages in a message store, separated as a video component and an audio component. The entire video message can be provided to compatible equipment over the third generation wireless network. For non-compatible equipment, the audio component of the video messages can be provided.

Abstract: Video content is delivered in a bandwidth efficient manner to a destination device. The video content is analyzed and a compression operation is performed on the video content prior to delivery to the destination device. Any audio associated with the video content is maintained in synchronization with the video content. The compression of the video can be performed in a variety of manners including single transmission of static frames, combining substantially similar frames so that only a single frame representing the combination is transmitted, and only transmitting dynamically changing or active portions of the video content.

Abstract translation: 视频内容以带宽有效的方式传送到目的地设备。 分析视频内容，并且在传送到目的地设备之前对视频内容执行压缩操作。 与视频内容相关联的任何音频都保持与视频内容同步。 视频的压缩可以以各种方式执行，包括静态帧的单次发送，组合基本上相似的帧，使得仅传送表示组合的单个帧，并且仅传输视频内容的动态变化或活动部分。

Abstract: A telecommunications platform that provides redundant interfaces to a telecommunications system for multiple IP based telecommunication devices. The telecommunications platform includes a gateway cluster with two or more signaling gateways. Each signaling gateway is assigned a point code for being accessed by devices in the telecommunications system. The gateway cluster is assigned a virtual point code. Any of the IP based telecommunications devices can be accessed by the telecommunications system by routing to the virtual point code through one of the signaling gateways in the gateway cluster. Thus, if one of the signaling gateways is not available, the IP based telecommunications devices can still be accessed through one of the other signaling gateways in the gateway cluster.

Abstract: Outbound calling from a Voice eXtensible Markup Language (VXML) based voicemail system, which has distributed architecture, is disclosed. The voicemail system includes a media server, which is in communication with a telephone network. The media server includes multiple communication termination-link components, and the communication termination-link components are adapted to couple to trunks that extend to the telephone network. The media server also includes a network interface that is adapted to receive and provide communications to components of the telecommunications platform. The media server also includes a link-selector, a browser module, and a processor. The link-selector is adapted to select a given communication termination-link component from the plurality of communication termination-link components. The browser module is adapted to provide a browser session, which is associated with the given communication termination link, and the processor implements the link-selector and the browser module in responsive receiving an outbound notification via the network interface.

Abstract: A voice mail system that allows for the delivery of voice messages by chunks, thereby optimizing the delivery of the information. When a subscriber attempts to listen to his or her voice mail message, the header information for the first voice mail message is down loaded and played back to the subscriber. While the subscriber listens to the header information, the next two blocks of data of the voice message are downloaded. Upon the completion of the playback of the header information, the first two blocks of the voice mail message are available for playback and the first block is immediately available for playback. As the subscriber listens to the voice mail message subsequent blocks of the first voice mail message, and optionally header information and blocks of subsequent voice mail messages are simultaneously down loaded. Thus, the subscriber is able to seamlessly listen to the voice mail messages without a delay in the retrieval of the voice mail messages regardless of the order the subscriber listens to the messages.

Abstract translation: 语音邮件系统，允许通过块传送语音消息，从而优化信息的传递。 当用户尝试收听他或她的语音邮件消息时，第一语音邮件消息的标题信息被下载并播放给用户。 当用户收听标题信息时，下载语音消息的接下来的两个数据块。 在完成标题信息的重放之后，语音邮件消息的前两个块可用于重放，并且第一块可立即可用于重放。 当用户收听语音邮件消息时，第一语音邮件消息的后续块，以及可选的报头信息和随后的语音邮件消息块同时被下载。 因此，用户能够无缝地收听语音邮件消息，而不用延迟地检索语音邮件消息，而不管订户是否听到消息。

Abstract: An enhanced Voice eXtensible Markup Language (VXML) based voicemail system that has a distributed architecture and methods for implementing enhanced VXML based voicemail systems are disclosed. The voicemail system includes a media server, which is in communication with a telephone network. The media server is adapted to invoke a voicemail service of the distributed voicemail system and adapted to render at least a first portion of a Voice eXtensible Markup Language (VXML) page. An application server, which is in communication with the media server, is adapted to generate a VXML page and provide the VXML page to the media server. The XVML page has a tag embedded therein, and the media server processes the tag. A voicemail-account monitorer, which monitors at least a portion of the voicemail system, is invoked by the media server processing the tag.
