Abstract:
Application of enterprise policies to Web Real-Time Communications (WebRTC) interactive sessions using an enterprise Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) engine, and related methods, systems, and computer-readable media are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method comprises receiving, by session token converter of enterprise device, an incoming WebRTC session description token. The method comprises generating, by session token converter, outgoing SIP request message. The method comprises sending, by session token converter, outgoing SIP request message to enterprise SIP engine and applying, by enterprise SIP engine, enterprise policies based on outgoing SIP request message. The method comprises, responsive to applying enterprise policies, sending incoming SIP request message to enterprise device. The method comprises converting, by session token converter, incoming SIP request message into outgoing WebRTC session description token, and sending outgoing WebRTC session description token to a target device.
Abstract:
A device and method temporally correlates communication types. The method performed by a first electronic device includes receiving a first message in a first communication format from a second electronic device, the first message having first metadata associated therewith. The method includes determining respective second metadata associated with existing conversations. The existing conversations each include a plurality of existing messages in at least one second communication format. The existing messages are a thread in a temporal order. The existing conversations are shown in a single, respective user interface. The method includes determining a correlation between the first message and one of the existing conversations based upon the first and second metadata. The method includes inserting the first message in the existing messages of the one of the existing conversations that maintains the temporal order.
Abstract:
Enhancing media characteristics during Web Real-Time Communications (WebRTC) interactive sessions by using Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) endpoints, and related methods, systems, and computer-readable media are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a method comprises intercepting, by a media redirection agent of a WebRTC client executing on a computing device, a WebRTC initiation token. The method further comprises generating a SIP endpoint WebRTC token based on the WebRTC initiation token, and sending the SIP endpoint WebRTC token to a remote endpoint. The method also comprises establishing a WebRTC interactive session between the remote endpoint and a SIP endpoint based on the SIP endpoint WebRTC token. By leveraging the audio and/or video functionality of the SIP endpoint, the media characteristics of the WebRTC interactive session may be enhanced, resulting in an enhanced user experience.
Abstract:
A conference call is recorded. For example, a voice conference call between a group of users is recorded. Information about the recording of the conference call is identified. For example, a date, a time, a length, an agenda, and a list of participants are identified for the conference call. A block is added to a blockchain with the information about the recording of the conference call. The blockchain with the information about the recording of the conference call is sent to a distributed ledger. The distributed ledger is where copies of the blockchain are stored on multiple nodes on one or more networks. By having multiple copies distributed in one or more networks, it is much more difficult to remove all the information that the conference call actually took place.

Abstract:
Conferencing applications run a variety of devices, including portable devices, such as smart phones, laptop computers, and tablet computers. A source device may be taking a high-resolution video to provide the video as a conference portion of a conference being viewed by a number of devices. The number of devices displaying the conference may only be displaying the conference portion as a thumbnail image, or other low-data image, or not be currently displaying the conference portion at all. The number of devices viewing the conference may then signal back to the source device to downgrade/terminate the capturing and/or transmission of the video. The source device then provides the video or other conference portion in a data-thrifty format more closely matching the conference portion as it is being displayed on the number of devices.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a system and method for enabling a caller to specify call coverage and bridging treatment preferences and or directives. The treatment may be specified by using SIP header parameters of an INVITE request associated with the call. The treatment may also be specified by an enterprise communication system, or equivalent, by engaging an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system to collect a caller's coverage preferences.
