Abstract: A wireless terminal displays its location and navigation information (map segment) on its display. The wireless terminal accesses a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver of the wireless terminal to determine its location coordinates. The wireless terminal determines a maximum data size for navigation information to be downloaded. The wireless terminal sends a navigation information download request to a map server via a supporting wireless network infrastructure that includes the location coordinates and the maximum data size. The wireless terminal receives navigation information that has a data size no greater than the maximum data size and displays the navigation information on the display. The wireless terminal may display a map segment and an icon representing the wireless terminal at a location corresponding to the location coordinates of the wireless terminal with respect to the map segment. The wireless terminal may download a premises map from a premises map server.

Abstract: Servicing an incoming Facsimile (FAX) communication includes receiving the incoming FAX communication by a source telephony bridging device via a source PSTN connection, the incoming FAX communication having an incoming FAX number associated therewith. Based upon the incoming FAX number, the source telephony bridging device determines a user ID in a peer-to-peer Voice over Internet Protocol (VOIP) network, determines an Internet Protocol (IP) address of a destination telephony bridging device based upon the user ID in the peer-to-peer VoIP network, and determines an outgoing FAX number based upon the user ID in the peer-to-peer VoIP network. The source telephony bridging device, an intermediate packet data network, and the destination telephony bridging device bridge the FAX communication from the source PSTN connection to a destination PSTN connection, the FAX communication directed to the outgoing FAX number.

Abstract: A bridging telephone includes processing circuitry communicatively coupled to a user interface, a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) interface, a packet data network interface. To service an incoming call, the processing circuitry obtains and executes bridging instructions that establish a pathway between the PSTN and packet data network interfaces. With such pathway, a call between a PSTN telephony device and an Internet telephony device can be established and maintained via the bridging telephone. Call conferences may also be set up via the bridging telephone, e.g., between pluralities of Internet telephony devices with or without the participation of a PSTN telephony device. Calls may be initiated by a PSTN telephony device to an Internet telephony device, or by an Internet telephony device to a PSTN telephony device.

Abstract: A portable control unit that interacts with a variety of types of media equipment. The control unit searches for media equipment (including media players) located within an area and retrieves user interaction information corresponding to discovered media players. The control unit can be instructed to control any of the discovered media players. The control unit uses the retrieved user interaction information to adapt. The control unit may periodically, or when relocated, look for new media players in its neighborhood. The control unit interacts with multiple multimedia sources that supply video and/or audio to the media players. The control unit may have a screen on which it displays a video in addition to controlling selection and presentation of a video and/or an audio in any one of the discovered media players. The control unit maintains an updateable media guide that provides a list of multimedia elements available for viewing and/or listening.

Abstract: An audio information processing system, which when incorporated in home audio video systems, provides independent volume control capability, independent equalization setting capability and independent special effects capability of voice and background sound, to the home audio-video system. The audio information processing system receives an audio signal and extracts there from a voice signal and a background signal based upon correlation of language tracks, correlation of a center channel with surround sound channels, via a voice detection circuit, or via other means. Once the voice signal and background signal are determined, separate processing is performed, and combining of the separately processed voice and background signals may be performed.
