    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for establishing a video conference session. The systems and methods may include receiving, from a first conference client device, a request to establish a conference session with a second conference client device; determining a first media router for forwarding, to the second conference client device, a media data stream with predetermined attributes of a plurality of first media data streams generated by the first conference client device; determining a second media router for forwarding, to the first conference client, a media data stream with predetermined media attributes of a plurality of second media data streams generated by the second conference client device; and transmitting, to the first conference client device, a first address associated with the first media router and a second address associated with the second media router.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and computer program products for provisioning a temporary disposable number are described. A user can be provided with a pool of available temporary disposable numbers that have a limited shelf life. The user can select one of the available temporary disposable numbers while submitting a permanent phone number associated with a communications device (e.g., mobile phone, home phone, business phone, etc.). Prior to activating the selected temporary disposable number, the temporary disposable number is linked to the permanent phone number. After activation, when an incoming call to the temporary disposable number is received, the permanent phone number is identified to be associated with the temporary disposable number being called. The incoming call is then forwarded to the communications device on which the permanent phone number is established.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for suppressing repetitive notifications about messages in messaging groups. In one implementation, the system may include a memory storing instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions. The instructions may include instructions to determine whether a first message in a first message group substantially matches a second message in a second message group; and after it is determined that a user associated with the first message group has accessed the first message, record the second message as a read message responsive to having determined that the same user is associated with the second message group.

    摘要: A method includes receiving a user indication to create an online collaborative team within an online chat environment. The method further includes receiving a user selection of members for the online collaborative team. The online collaborative team enables the selected members of the online collaborative team to communicate with one another. The online chat environment maintains communication of the members and activities of the members of the online collaborative team. The online chat environment makes the activities and the communication available to the members when the members are within the online chat environment. The method further includes accessing attributes associated with the members of the online collaborative team. The method, responsive to the accessing the attributes associated with the members, determines a privacy setting of the online collaborative team.

    摘要: A content, context or the like as entered by a user may be used to automatically evaluate a recipient or recipients to whom the message is directed. A method for filling a recipient address field of an electronic message in a messaging application executable on a communication terminal begins by selecting a content chunk from a content area of said message and deciding whether said content chunk matches a predefined addressee identifier pattern. If the content chunk matches a predefined addressee identifier pattern then the a name portion is extracted from the content chunk. The name portion is compared with entries in a predefined directory. It the name portion matches an entry then a recipient address proposal is created based on an address stored in the directory. That recipient address proposal is filled into said recipient address field of said message.

    摘要: A method is disclosed for managing communication processes (N1-N4) between internal participants (A, B, C) of an internal communication network on the one hand and external participants (E) on the other hand. First a list is set up in an internal communication network that contains incoming and outgoing communication activities between the internal participants and at least one external participant as a virtual mailbox. This virtual mailbox is assigned to the at least one external participant and is set up to be invisible or inaccessible to the at least one external participant. Communications activity between an internal participant and the external participant are recognized as being associated with the external participant based upon identification that has been assigned to the external participant and can be obtained from the communication activity. Each communication activity that has been recognized as being associated with the external participant is deposited in the virtual mailbox.

    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for dynamically selecting one or more networked cameras for providing real-time camera feeds to a video conference. The systems and methods may include identifying one or more networked cameras associated with an area of a conference participant. A server may analyze real-time camera feeds from the identified cameras, and select a video feed having a view of the participant. The server may provide the selected feed to the video conference via a conference bridge, and continue monitoring camera feeds of cameras associated with the participant's area for another camera feed having a better view of the participant. Networked cameras may include fixed and mobile cameras owned and operated by individuals that are not associated with the participant, but who have registered their cameras with the server for use in video conferences.
