Abstract: A communication system, method, and components are described. Specifically, the method described herein provides the ability for an application sequence of a communication session to be reconstructed during the communication session and even though SIP standards dictate that the reconstruction of the application sequence should be denied and the session should be terminated.

Abstract: The system generates a change in the SIP INVITE message during a call transfer. Here, a user relation element involved in the call can change the header information in the message to include the endpoint view of the transferring party. Thus, the INVITE message is redirected to the transferring party's user relation element, which can interpret the received message and “unravel” the B2BUAs in the existing call path. The system includes changes in the user relation element to effect the message change and interpret the message once received. Changes to the user relation element forgo the need to change the communication endpoints.

Abstract translation: 在呼叫转移期间，系统会生成SIP INVITE消息中的更改。 这里，涉及呼叫的用户关系元素可以改变消息中的头信息以包括转移方的端点视图。 因此，INVITE消息被重定向到传送方的用户关系元素，其可以解释所接收的消息并且“解开”现有呼叫路径中的B2BUA。 该系统包括用户关系元素的变化以实现消息改变并且一旦接收到消息就解释消息。 用户关系元素的更改放弃了更改通信端点的需要。

Abstract: The concept of anchor points is introduced. Anchor points, and specifically Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) anchor points, serve as a media and call control point that is established on a per-user basis which can then be shared by any application. The use of an anchor point allows for applications to become aware of and control a communication late or cease monitoring and controlling a communication session early without disrupting the session or introducing a significant amount of control or media delay.

Abstract translation: 介绍了锚点的概念。 锚点，特别是会话发起协议（SIP）锚点，用作基于每个用户建立的媒体和呼叫控制点，然后可以由任何应用共享。 使用锚点允许应用程序意识到并控制通信延迟，或者停止监视和控制通信会话，而不会中断会话或引入大量的控制或媒体延迟。

Abstract: A topic is associated with a temporary communications address such as a temporary telephone number. This assignment may be effected by the user when the temporary address is obtained by the user. Illustratively, a user who simultaneously uses a plurality of temporary addresses associates a different topic with each of those addresses. When a caller calls the temporary address, the call is redirected to the user's real address and the user receives the topic that is associated with that temporary address, and preferably also the called temporary address itself, along with the redirected call, and this information is either displayed or announced to the user. The information provides context for the call to the user, and may optionally be captured in call logs. Illustratively, when the user initiates a call via the temporary address or the topic, the temporary address or the topic is provided to the called party as the caller ID information. The user's identity is thus kept secret. The user may select the calling topic or temporary address from a display of the call logs of past calls that involved the topics and temporary addresses associated with the user's real address.

Abstract translation: 主题与诸如临时电话号码的临时通信地址相关联。 当用户获得临时地址时，该分配可以由用户实现。 说明性地，同时使用多个临时地址的用户将不同的主题与这些地址中的每一个相关联。 当呼叫者呼叫临时地址时，呼叫被重定向到用户的真实地址，并且用户接收与该临时地址相关联的主题，并且优选地还接收被叫临时地址本身以及被重定向的呼叫，并且该信息是 向用户显示或宣布。 该信息提供对用户的呼叫的上下文，并且可以可选地在通话记录中捕获。 说明性地，当用户通过临时地址或主题发起呼叫时，将临时地址或主题作为呼叫者ID信息提供给被叫方。 因此，用户的身份保密。 用户可以从涉及与用户的真实地址相关联的主题和临时地址的过去呼叫的呼叫记录的显示中选择呼叫主题或临时地址。

Abstract: A distributed call control system is provided that can allot bandwidth amongst several call controllers. The distributed call control system includes one or more access elements that interface with a cloud that execute two or more instances of call processing servers that administer call control. The cloud members negotiate and determine bandwidth allocation amongst the members and the access elements. If an access element requires more bandwidth, the access element assesses its own needs and requests more bandwidth from the cloud. The negotiation and requests for bandwidth are accomplished with a set of dynamic and static bandwidth data that regiment the control of the bandwidth.

Abstract translation: 提供分布式呼叫控制系统，其可以在多个呼叫控制器之间分配带宽。 分布式呼叫控制系统包括一个或多个访问元件，其与云一起执行，该云执行管理呼叫控制的呼叫处理服务器的两个或多个实例。 云成员协商并确定成员和访问元素之间的带宽分配。 如果访问单元需要更多的带宽，则访问单元会评估自己的需求，并从云中请求更多的带宽。 带宽的协商和请求是通过一组动态和静态带宽数据完成的，这些带宽数据用于控制带宽。

Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems are provided for marking one or more entities of a call as internal/external such that certain call features can be invoked by servers and other devices residing behind a gateway. More specifically, entities of a call can be marked as internal/external based employing an assessment algorithm to determine whether the calling endpoint is an internal or external endpoint and/or whether a user of the calling or answering endpoint is an internal or external user. Once this determination is made, the call can be marked accordingly such that the appropriate features can be invoked.

Abstract: The concept of a centralized communication log is provided. Anchor points, and specifically Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) anchor points, serve as a media and call control point that is established on a per-user basis which can then be leveraged by a communication log service. Such a communication log service is able to determine accurate and real-time communicant information for a communication session and populate a centralized communication log with the same. Such a communication log is, therefore, accurate with respect to multiple users in a system, highly available, and scaled horizontally.

Abstract translation: 提供集中通信日志的概念。 锚点，特别是会话发起协议（SIP）锚点，用作基于每个用户建立的媒体和呼叫控制点，然后可以由通信日志服务来利用。 这样的通信日志服务能够确定用于通信会话的准确和实时的通信者信息，并且填充具有该通信日志的集中通信日志。 因此，这样的通信日志对于系统中的多个用户是准确的，高度可用的并且水平地缩放。

Abstract: The present invention provides methods, devices, and systems for allowing a conference call participant to place a conference call on hold. Additionally, a participant is provided with a number of rejoin and/or hold options that can be executed when the participant puts the conference call on hold and takes the conference call off of hold. The rejoin and/or hold options available to the participant may vary depending upon participant preference or the nature in which the participant is rejoining the conference call.
