    Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a communication device that includes a communication interface that facilitates a call from a user of the communication device to a communication device of a called party via a network, the call including voice communications of the user. An imaging sensor captures video of the user. A processor compares the video of the user to the voice communications to determine if the video of the user is consistent with the voice communications. The video of the user is analyzed to determine if an identity of the user is authenticated. An indication of user authentication is generated, responsive to determining the identity of the user is authenticated and to determining the video of the user coincides with the voice communications. The indication of the user authentication is sent to the called party in association with the call. Other embodiments are disclosed.

    Abstract: A ringtone assignment system and method are provided. The method includes steps of recording a multimedia ringtone via a first communication device, transmitting a communication linking request to a communication exchange host, transmitting the communication linking request to a second communication device via the communication exchange host to enable the second communication device to feed back ringtone format information supported by the second communication device according to the communication linking request, transmitting the ringtone format information to the first communication device via the communication exchange host to enable the first communication device to code the multimedia ringtone according to the ringtone format information, transmitting the multimedia ringtone from the first communication device to the second communication device, and then decoding and playing the multimedia ringtone by the second communication device. The second communication device is able to recode and assign the multimedia ringtone to the first communication device.

    Abstract: Communication systems, video endpoints, and related methods are described. A video endpoint is configured to receive commands corresponding to functions of the video endpoint from a mobile electronic device responsive to a user interacting with a remote control interface of the mobile electronic device. The functions include in-call functions. A method includes performing the functions responsive to receiving the commands from the mobile electronic device. A method of transforming a mobile electronic device into a remote control device for the video endpoint includes storing computer-readable instructions at one or more servers. The computer-readable instructions are configured to instruct the mobile electronic device to provide the remote control interface and transmit the commands to the video endpoint. A communication system includes a software distribution server including a data storage device including the computer-readable instructions, and one or more communication elements configured to transmit the computer-readable instructions to the mobile electronic device.
