Abstract: Disclosed is an active or dynamic RFID tag that actively provides current status information regarding a particular item, as well as mechanisms for recognizing dynamic RFID information read from such RFID tag. Static identifying information regarding the particular item is provided either by the same active/dynamic RFID tag or by a different passive RFID tag. While the RFID tag may passively or actively provide general identification, the RFID tag actively provides status information that corresponds to changes in the corresponding item's status. In a first implementation, active RFID tags are positioned next to one or more components within a system so that each active RFID tag is powered and transmitting its RFID information when its corresponding component is operational. In contrast, each active RFID tag is positioned so that it is not powered and not transmitting its RFID information when its component is failing. Accordingly, an RFID reader can then know when a system has a failing component when one of the component's corresponding active RFID tag is not transmitting its RFID information. In this first implementation, the active RFID tag either transmits or fails to transmit based on its component's status state. In a second implementation, a dynamic RFID is associated with a specific component, set of components, or system, and the dynamic RFID tag dynamically provides an RFID reader with RFID information that changes with its associated item's changing status state. The status state may correspond to any suitable parameter of the item or product that can change over time. Thus, the dynamic RFID provides different transmission frequencies based on different status states of its component or system.

Abstract: In a wide-area communication system, users or numbers in the system to be alerted are ranked so to improve the efficiency of the alert calls. Rankings are based on various factors, including whether two or more users are on the same active call, whether a user is on an active call, how recently a user ended a call, and whether a user recently missed a call. Within rankings, there may be multiple callers or numbers. These users may further be ranked, such as by determining which caller is expected to end a call first based on the current elapsed time of the call and the average call duration for that user or number.

Abstract translation: 在广域通信系统中，要提醒的系统中的用户或号码被排序，以提高警报呼叫的效率。 排名基于各种因素，包括两个或多个用户是否处于相同的活动呼叫，用户是否处于活动呼叫，用户最近结束呼叫以及用户最近是否已经接通呼叫。 在排名中，可能有多个呼叫者或号码。 这些用户可以进一步排名，例如通过基于呼叫的当前经过时间和该用户或号码的平均呼叫持续时间来确定预期哪个呼叫者首先结束呼叫。

Abstract: A method for intelligently managing a transportation network is provided. The method may include providing a roadside apparatus 18 to communicate with nodes 14A to 14D associated with vehicles 12A to 12D in a transportation network, the vehicle nodes being in a neighborhood range of the roadside apparatus. The roadside apparatus may dynamically detect the presence of a node 14A associated with a first vehicle 12A, and establish a mobile Internet Protocol (IP) network between the roadside apparatus and the first vehicle's node. The roadside apparatus 18 receives, in real-time, from the first vehicle's node 14A event data of events associated with the first vehicle 12A over the mobile IP network. The roadside apparatus 18 or nodes 14A to 14D may further receive or transmit real-time command data to control subsystems of a vehicle.

Abstract: A method and system to process communications in an automatic communication distributor is described. The method may comprise receiving a communication and identifying an originating location from which the communication originates. Thereafter, a determination is made when the originating location corresponds to a predefined high priority geographical area and a priority to the communication is assigned based on the originating location. The call may be assigned a higher priority when the originating location corresponds to the high priority geographical area than when the originating location does not correspond with the high priority geographical area. The communication is queued based on the assigned priority. A method is also provided to assign an agent using an automated call distributor based on a distance between the originating location of the communication and the determined geographical locations of the potential respondents.

Abstract: A method for managing calls of an automatic call distributor includes receiving a call from a user over a first connection with a first endpoint of the user. The call comprises a request for service. The method includes obtaining presence information of the user and associating the call with the presence information. The method includes placing the call in a queue until a suitable agent becomes available to provide the service to the user. A virtual contact is established to hold a place of the call in an order in the queue if the first connection is terminated. The method also includes establishing a second connection with the user and detecting the presence of the user associated with the second connection. The method includes associating the second connection with the virtual contact using the detected presence of the user.

Abstract: In one embodiment, techniques for sending a conference invite that provides access to a list of participants in an existing conference are provided. A participant in a conference may decide to send an invite for the existing conference to the user. A request for inviting the user into the existing conference is received. A list of participants in the existing conference is determined. An invite message for the conference is then generated where the invite message includes information for the list of participants. The invite message is then sent to the user where the information for the list of participants is accessible to the user. For example, the list of participants may be displayed as caller ID information when the invite message is received by the user.
