摘要:
A method and apparatus is described to implement policies associated with physical situations (e.g., supply of power, occurrence of a fire, etc.). The method may comprise accessing sensor data captured by a sensor monitoring a physical situation to identify at least one activity occurring during the physical situation. A policy database including a plurality of policies may be accessed to identify at least two lower-level policies associated with the physical situation. Further, the policy database may be accessed to identify at least one higher-level policy associated with the physical situation. The higher-level policy may control implementation of the at least two lower-level policies.
摘要:
A method for facilitating a data session in a communications environment is provided that includes initiating, by a first endpoint, a call that is intended for a second endpoint. The method also includes invoking, by the first endpoint, an eCamp-On™ feature in response to the second endpoint being unavailable. The eCamp-On™ feature initiates a new call between the first and second endpoints once the second endpoint is available. Presence data associated with the first endpoint may be leveraged in order to make the new call.
摘要:
A method and apparatus to provide access to video streams associated with communication channels in a communication network are described. The method may comprise monitoring selection of a communication channel by a user of a mobile communication device, identifying at least one video feed associated with the selected channel, and providing access to the mobile communication device to the selected at least one video feed. Providing access may comprise associating the selected video stream with the mobile communication device.
摘要:
A system and method for enabling an enhanced camp-on feature for a communications device. In an illustrative embodiment, the system includes a first mechanism for providing information pertaining to why a first user of a first communications device is unable to be contacted. A second mechanism enables a second user of a second communications device to make a camp-on selection based on the information. In a more specific embodiment, the information includes state information pertaining to the first communications device. The first means includes a first module running on the first communications device. The first module is adapted to selectively relay the state information to an entity connected to the network. In the specific embodiment, the entity connected to the network includes Private Branch eXchange (PBX) system.

A method for joining a virtual talk group includes facilitating communications of a virtual talk group. The virtual talk group includes a plurality of endpoints of different communication networks. The method also includes recording the communications of the plurality of endpoints of the virtual talk group. The method also includes adding a first endpoint to the virtual talk group and presenting the first endpoint with the recorded communications of the plurality of endpoints of the virtual talk group.
摘要:
A method for automatic configuration of virtual talk groups based on location of media source includes monitoring communications from a plurality of mobile endpoints. Each communication comprises a media message and location information identifying a location of its transmitting endpoint. The method includes selecting a first group of mobile endpoints of the plurality of endpoints according to virtual talk group configuration instructions based on the locations of the mobile endpoints. The method also includes configuring a first virtual talk group comprising the first group of mobile endpoints to facilitate communications among the first group of mobile endpoints. The first group of mobile endpoints comprises mobile endpoints of different communication networks.
摘要:
A method and system for adding a participant to a conference call. A feature of the method and system is that with respect to individual invitees to ad-hoc conference calls, the conference call can essentially be “turned around” and treated “as if” the individual invitees were dialing in to a “meet-me” conference call, if it is determined that such is the more optimum calling method. A multipoint controller unit, in conjunction with a Call Optimization Application (COA), utilizes information contained in one or more tokens to make possible the change in call direction. The optimal call direction is established via a COA channel.
摘要:
In an example embodiment, a technique that allows members of a group at multiple locations to have private conversations within members of the group while participating in a conference call. Group members are defined and divided into virtual conference rooms. When a group mute is requested, signals originating from members of the group are distributed to locations where group members are present, while all participants of the conference call, including the members of the muted group, receive un-muted media signals.
摘要:
A method includes receiving a request to determine a route between a starting location and a destination location. The method also includes determining a first route between the starting location and the destination location using predictive traffic data for at least one location between the starting location and the destination location. The method further includes providing the first route.
摘要:
A system and method are disclosed for interleaving time-critical packets and lower-priority packets onto a common data link. A packet arrival prediction mechanism predicts when a time-critical packet is expected to arrive. When transmission of a waiting lower-priority packet might cause a substantial delay in the expected time-critical packet's transmission, the lower-priority packet is parked until it can be transmitted without interfering with a time-critical packet.
