摘要:
A communications system provides customized messages based on presence and preference information by collecting presence information and preference information on a plurality of subscribers. The presence information includes information on the availability of a subscriber, while the preference information includes policies for different priority levels of callers. In response to unavailability of a called subscriber for a communication session, the communications manager transmits a customized response to the caller that is generated based on the presence information and the preference information of the called subscriber.

A presence-enhanced smart name tag is implemented on a local application of a device. The local application identifies as a smart name tag a string of characters representing an identity of a presentity. The presentity identity is used to retrieve presence information indicating the availability of the presentity.

A presence server transforms a presentities preferences from a device view to a media view by collecting raw preference data from the presentity in a variety of formats and processing the raw preference data to determine a preferred order of media types. The raw preference data includes a preference indication for each media type supported by each device associated with the presentity. The preferred order of media types can be provided to a watcher of the presentity.
摘要:
A presence server determines a presentity's media status and availability for engaging in real-time communication sessions in a presence system by receiving, from the presentity, a maximum number of real-time interactions per real-time media types supported by the presentity, and collecting presence information identifying real-time communication sessions currently engaged in by the presentity. The presence server determines the media status for each of the real-time media types supported by the presentity based on the maximum number of interactions and the presence information, and determines available real-time media types from the determined media statuses.
摘要:
An active dental attachment. Specifically, an attachment device for interacting with a polymeric shell dental appliance is described. The attachment device includes an anchoring attachment body. A bonding surface is coupled to the anchoring attachment body, wherein the bonding surface is configured for anchoring the anchoring attachment body to a dental feature of a patient's dentition. A force-applying active mechanism is coupled to the anchoring attachment body. A polymeric shell dental appliance contact region is coupled to the force-applying active mechanism. The polymeric shell dental appliance contact region is configured to contact the force-applying active mechanism and apply a force generated by the force-applying active mechanism between the dental feature and the polymeric shell dental appliance when the polymeric shell dental appliance engages the force-applying active mechanism.
摘要:
Automatic subscription to presence services is achieved using a communications manager within a presence system. The communications manager is capable of detecting the occurrence of an event associated with at least one of a presentity and a watcher. The communications manager automatically subscribes or unsubscribes the watcher to receive presence information of the presentity in response to detection of the event.
摘要:
A communications system for providing hotline and preemption features in real-time communication sessions includes a presence server for collecting presence and preference information for a presentity and a communications manager for handling requests for communication sessions with the presentity. The presence information includes availability of devices of the presentity, and the preference information includes a priority level granted to one or more watchers of the presentity. Upon receipt of a request from a watcher for a new communication session in a select media type, and in response to unavailability of the presentity due to a concurrent communication session in that media type, the communications manager determines the priority levels of the watchers for the new and concurrent communication sessions and preempts the concurrent communication session when the priority level of the watcher for the new communication session is greater than that of the watcher for the concurrent communication session.
摘要:
Method and apparatus for implementing a constraint-based shortest path first (“CSPF”) technique for dynamically switched optical transport networks are described. One embodiment comprises a traffic network element (“TNE”) in a network comprising a traffic engineering network database (“TEND”) that stores network topology information for the network and bandwidth availability information for links in the network; and a routing engine that receives a request for a label switched path (“LSP”) with specified constraints, processes network topology information from the TEND to create a network graph comprising links meeting the specified constraints, and computes a primary path through the network, wherein the primary path comprises links selected from the network graph.

摘要:
A multi-functional communications log maintains communication session information pertaining to attempted communication sessions with a user. The multi-functional communications log interfaces with a communications manager to detect a user-initiated communications log event and automatically and temporarily subscribe the user to receive presence information of presentities associated with the attempted communication sessions. The attempted communication sessions include voice communication sessions, text communication sessions and multimedia communication sessions.
