Abstract: An audio-on-demand communication system provides real-time playback of audio data transferred via telephone lines or other communication links. One or more audio servers include memory banks which store compressed audio data. At the request of a user at a subscriber PC, an audio server transmits the compressed audio data over the communication link to the subscriber PC. The subscriber PC receives and decompresses the transmitted audio data in less than real-time using only the processing power of the CPU within the subscriber PC. According to one aspect of the present invention, high quality audio data compressed according to lossless compression techniques is transmitted together with normal quality audio data. According to another aspect of the present invention, metadata, or extra data, such as text, captions, still images, etc., is transmitted with audio data and is simultaneously displayed with corresponding audio data.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for managing event and emergency notification over a network. A message is generated in a first interface according to an emergency data sharing standard, the message having a length, duration, or size determined by each one of a plurality of data formats for transmission. The message is addressed to the second interfaces allocated with predetermined recipients. The message is transmitted to each second interface in the data format supported by each second interface. The transmitted message is received in at least one of the second interfaces, and outputted in the data format supported by the at least one second interface.

Abstract: A system establishes a telephone call between a calling party and a called party. The system receives a telephone call connection request, including identification of the called party, from the calling party and determines, based on the identification information, if the called party is currently connected to a data network. If the called party is currently connected to the data network, the system establishes the telephone call between the calling party and an instant messaging client of the called party.
