摘要:
A call handling system includes a call handling device arranged between a user's phone and a telephone network. The call handling device detects an incoming call to the user's phone and forwards a message to the user including information about the incoming call to a mobile device held by a user over a two-way interface. Furthermore, the call handling device allows the user to send instructions regarding how to handle the call from the mobile device over the two-way interface.

A method of handling an interrupted call on a communication terminal, which includes updating a task model table including a plurality of informational fields related to a task performed during a call placed on the terminal, and restarting the task at a location corresponding to where the task stopped executing when the call was interrupted using the informational fields in the task model table.

Systems and techniques for improved user prompting. A system according to one aspect of the invention includes a central server hosting various modules providing services to users. The modules suitably employ voice recognition in order to interpret user inputs. Each module has access to user information that includes information indicating the user's experience with each function of each module. When a module needs to issue a prompt to the user, it retrieves and examines the user information to determine the user's experience with the module and function. Suitably, each module is operative to categorize a user as belonging to an experience category, such as novice, intermediate and expert based on the user's level of experience with the function. The module selects a prompt associated with the user's level of experience with the function and presents it to the user.

Systems and techniques for improved efficiency and accuracy in voice dialing and directory lookup applications. A voice dialing module receives an input from a user and examines a directory to identify recognition results matching the voice input. A list of recognition results matching the voice input is constructed, the entries being ranked by confidence. A called party cache for each user includes entries for parties the user is likely to call. Once the result list has been constructed, the voice dialing module compares the list with the called party cache in order to determine if entries in the list appear in the cache. If an entry in the result list appears in the cache, the result list is reordered in order to take into account the increased likelihood that an entry appearing in the called party cache will be an entry the user wishes to call.

Network monitoring views can be recorded, replayed and shared. A monitoring system receives monitoring data, in response to which a monitoring view can be constructed. The monitoring data is maintained in memory or mass storage. One or more monitoring views can later be constructed in response to user preferences, even if those users would not have known to select those particular preferences or construct those particular monitoring views at the time. The monitoring views constructed in response to that monitoring data can be presented to users in a simulation of the problem, as if it were occurring at that time. Users can send particular monitoring views to others, with both the effects that the monitoring view can be preserved as part of a trouble report, and the persons receiving the monitoring view can have useful insight into what problem the user has pointed to.

A method, apparatus and computer program product for providing auditory feedback in a personal virtual assistant (PVA) is presented. A user communication is received at the PVA. A determination is made whether an event sound is required in response to the receiving a user communication and upon determination that an event sound is required, an event sound is provided to the user and upon determination that an event sound is not required an event sound is not provided to the user. A response to the communication received from the user is determined and is transmitted to the user.

A network monitoring system includes devices receiving network traffic information, and generating at least partial results relating to network symptoms. Those partial results are forwarded to devices processing those partial results and generating information relating to problems in response to those symptoms. Problems are reported to users or sent as notifications. In one embodiment, information relating to network traffic is monitored both by a first set of devices associated with source addresses for that network traffic and a second set of devices associated with destination addresses for that network traffic. Information received by that first set of devices includes information relating to both the source address and destination address of network traffic. That first set of devices processes information relating to the source address of network traffic and forwards information relating to the destination address of network traffic to that second set of devices.

摘要:
One network monitoring system maintains information regarding historical activity and emergent activity of the network. Comparison of recent with historical activity allows the system to determine whether recent activity is within the realm of normal. The system maintains data structures representing a p.d.f. for observable values of network parameters. Another network monitoring device includes data structures for maintaining information regarding historical and emergent activity of a network. This network monitoring device maintains those data structures including information regarding historical and emergent activity of a network only for those source/destination pairs, and only for those nodes, for which maintaining that information would be substantially meaningful. Yet another network monitoring system includes data structures for maintaining information regarding historical and emergent activity of a network that maintains those data structures only for those combinations of more than one of those multiple profile dimensions for which maintaining that information would be substantially meaningful.
