Abstract: In the present technique of streaming a main media stream that has been requested, an anti-shadow stream (36) that represents a backup copy of the main media stream (24) is sent along with an output media stream (34) that represents an output copy of the main media stream. The content of the anti-shadow stream (36) is preferably forward-shifted in time from the output media stream (34) so as to provide replacement of loss data of the output stream. Put differently, sequenced data frames of the output stream (34) are delayed by order compared to that of the anti-shadow stream (36).

Abstract: An apparatus and method for throttling server communications in a communication network. Firstly, priorities are defined by a watcher for particular status events. These priorities are then mapped to a list of status events in an event filter. In response to a change of status event of a presentity, the status event is compared to the list of status events of the event filter. If the comparable status event has an associated higher priority, a notification is sent of the change of status event to the watcher with substantially no delay. If the comparable status notification event has an associated lower priority, the status event is filtered in the event filter, and sent to the watcher, as needed, during a predetermined interval. A unique priority code can be defined for events and/or a maximum delay for sending a notification of an event change can be defined for events.

Abstract translation: 一种用于在通信网络中节流服务器通信的装置和方法。 首先，特定状态事件的观察者定义优先级。 然后将这些优先级映射到事件过滤器中的状态事件列表。 响应于呈现者的状态事件的改变，将状态事件与事件过滤器的状态事件的列表进行比较。 如果可比较状态事件具有相关联的较高优先级，则基本上没有延迟地向观察者发送状态事件改变的通知。 如果可比状态通知事件具有相关联的较低优先级，则在事件过滤器中过滤状态事件，并且根据需要在预定间隔期间发送给观察者。 可以为事件定义唯一的优先级代码和/或用于发送事件更新通知的最大延迟可以为事件定义。

Abstract: A communication network (100) includes a first server (124) and a second server, such as any of the servers (121-23), connected via a common network (101). First server (124) owns a record data (180) associated with at least one process running for serving a client device (174.) The second server keeps a copy of the record data. First server (124) performs a Hashing function over record data (180) to produce a first Hash value. The second server similarly performs the same or similar Hashing function over the copy of the record data to produce a second Hash value. First server (124) sends the first Hash value to the second server for comparison. If the first Hash value fails to match to the second Hash value, a latest copy of the record data (180) is sent from first server (124) to the second server upon request.

Abstract translation: 通信网络（100）包括经由公共网络（101）连接的第一服务器（124）和诸如服务器（121-23）中的任一个的第二服务器。 第一服务器（124）拥有与至少一个运行用于服务客户端设备的进程相关联的记录数据（180）。第二服务器保存记录数据的副本。 第一服务器（124）对记录数据（180）执行哈希函数以产生第一哈希值。 第二个服务器类似地在记录数据的副本上执行相同或相似的哈希函数，以产生第二个哈希值。 第一服务器（124）将第一哈希值发送到第二服务器进行比较。 如果第一哈希值不匹配到第二哈希值，则根据请求将记录数据（180）的最新副本从第一服务器（124）发送到第二服务器。

Abstract: A method of switching a call to a multipoint conference call includes sending a message (201) from a first terminal (105-T1) to a gatekeeper (102) which provides address translation and control access to a shared network medium (101). The call is initially established as a point to point communication between first terminal (101) and a second terminal (105-TN) over shared network medium (101) while complying with H.323 standard. Message (201) contains a request for the multipoint conference call. The method furthermore includes selecting a multipoint control unit (104) connected to shared network medium (101) to allocate resources for the multipoint conference call, and then switching the call to the multipoint conference call via the allocated resources. Thereby, the initial call is switched to a multipoint conference call without interrupting the initial call.

Abstract translation: 将呼叫切换到多点会议呼叫的方法包括从第一终端（105-T1）发送消息（201）到提供对共享网络媒体（101）的地址转换和控制访问的网守（102）。 呼叫最初被建立为在符合H.323标准的同时在共享网络介质（101）之间的第一终端（101）和第二终端（105-TN）之间的点对点通信。 消息（201）包含对多点电话会议的请求。 该方法还包括选择连接到共享网络介质（101）的多点控制单元（104）以分配用于多点会议呼叫的资源，然后经由所分配的资源将呼叫切换到多点会议呼叫。 因此，初始呼叫被切换到多点电话会议而不中断初始呼叫。

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for routing callers to agents in a call-center routing environment. An exemplary method includes identifying caller data for at least one of a set of callers on hold and causing a caller of the set of callers to be routed to an agent based on a comparison of the caller data and the agent data. The caller data and agent data may be compared via a pattern matching algorithm and/or computer model for predicting a caller-agent pair having the highest probability of a desired outcome. As such, callers may be pooled and routed to agents based on comparisons of available caller and agent data, rather than a conventional queue order fashion. If a caller is held beyond a hold threshold the caller may be routed to the next available agent. The hold threshold may include a predetermined time, “cost” function, number of times the caller may be skipped by other callers, and so on.

Abstract translation: 提供了方法和系统，用于将呼叫者路由到呼叫中心路由环境中的代理。 一种示例性方法包括识别保持的一组呼叫者中的至少一个的呼叫者数据，并且基于呼叫者数据和代理数据的比较，使呼叫者组中的呼叫者被路由到一个座席。 呼叫者数据和代理数据可以经由模式匹配算法和/或计算机模型进行比较，以预测具有期望结果的最高概率的呼叫者 - 代理对。 因此，可以基于可用呼叫者和代理数据的比较而不是传统的队列顺序方式，将呼叫者汇集并路由到代理。 如果呼叫者被保持超过保持阈值，呼叫者可以被路由到下一个可用代理。 保持阈值可以包括预定时间，“成本”功能，呼叫者可能被其他呼叫者跳过的次数等等。

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for routing callers to agents in a call-center routing environment. An exemplary method includes identifying caller data for a caller of a plurality of callers in a queue, and routing the caller from the queue out of queue order. For example, a caller that is not at the top of the queue may be routed from the queue based on the identified caller data, out of order with respect to the queue order. The caller may be routed to another queue of callers, a pool of callers, or an agent based on the identified caller data, where the caller data may include one or both of demographic and psychographic data. The caller may be routed from the queue based on comparing the caller data with agent data associated with an agent via a pattern matching algorithm and/or computer model for predicting a caller-agent pair outcome. Additionally, if a caller is held beyond a hold threshold (e.g., a time, “cost” function, or the like) the caller may be routed to the next available agent.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for routing callers to agents in a call-center routing environment. An exemplary method includes routing a caller from a pool of callers based on at least one caller data associated with the caller, where a pool of callers includes, e.g., a set of callers that are not chronologically ordered and routed based on a chronological order or hold time of the callers. The caller may be routed from the pool of callers to an agent, placed in another pool of callers, or placed in a queue of callers. The caller data may include demographic or psychographic data. The caller may be routed from the pool of callers based on comparing the caller data with agent data associated with an agent via a pattern matching algorithm and/or computer model for predicting a caller-agent pair outcome. Additionally, if a caller is held beyond a hold threshold (e.g., a time, “cost” function, or the like) the caller may be routed to the next available agent.

Abstract: Various embodiments are described to enable improved inter-network/inter-technology handover of mobile devices. A network device (131, 132) collects dynamic information corresponding to mobile devices (101, 102), such as wireless measurement information at the device's location, and/or information corresponding to wireless network nodes (121-124), such loading levels/loading distributions. The network device then sends some or all of the dynamic information collected and/or statistical information generated from the dynamic information collected to a neighboring network information server (150) for access by other communication networks. By maintaining dynamic and/or statistical information in a neighboring network information server, such information can be made available to all the communication networks in a given region. One potential benefit to making this information available is improved inter-network handoff decision-making.
