Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems are provided for preserving connections, especially in a SIP environment. More specifically, the connection preservation techniques presented in this document enhance the RFC 4028-based session refresh approach in order to provide media connection preservation for calls that experience end-to-end signaling loss or refresh failures. Specifically, participants on a call can continue to exchange media despite the loss of control at the SIP signaling plane.

Abstract: The concept of chained parallel forking is introduced. Addresses of record are included in a contactee's contact resolution preferences to enable an incoming INVITE message to be routed to one or more users as well as other devices, per the contactee's contact resolution preferences. A communication system configured to execute the chained parallel forking contact resolution process is also described.

Abstract: A highly scalable and distributed call/media modeling and control framework is described. In particular, a plurality of anchor point servers are provided which enable one or more applications to exert call and media control over in-progress communication sessions even though the applications were not originally bound to the communication session during its setup.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems are provided for taking a pluggable extension and applying it to a unique set of a user population to handle their preferred and user-centric alerting relationships. More particularly, the pluggable extension allows a user to have their personalized contact resolution algorithm applied by a server to calls initiated by them or directed toward. The contact resolution algorithm is pluggable to any server and does not need to be built into the server itself. Moreover, multiple users can refer to and use the same pluggable contact resolution algorithm.

Abstract: A telephony trainer and exerciser allows a user of the telephony system to practice and train using the telephony system and its various features. The telephony trainer and exerciser system provides at least one automated responder, and more preferably, a plurality of automated responders that can be called by the user, thereby allowing the user to practice different operating features of the telephony system. Using a recognizer agent, the automated responders are able to distinguish between commands given by the user and similar statements given by another automated responder. The trainer and exerciser system optionally includes a correlator agent to provide an audio and/or written transcript of the practice session. A coaching feature is also optionally provided to assist a user in operating the trainer and exerciser and/or the telephony system.

Abstract: An Internet/intranet-based arrangement for interaction between a messaging system and a message originator and delivery of the message originator's message to a mailbox of the messaging system uses TCP/IP communications applications such as HTTP, Telnet, FTP, or Chat as information-transfer and message delivery mechanisms, creating an Internet/intranet-based text, binary, video, and/or multimedia file message-delivery analogue to the call-answer message-creation capability of telephony-based messaging systems.

Abstract: A way of synchronizing the contents of commonly-owned mailboxes (108, 111) in disparate messaging systems, such as an e-mail system (100) and a multimedia system (101), networked via the Internet (102). The e-mail system uses the existing auto-forwarding feature (115) of the Internet e-mail community to send a copy of every message arriving at the e-mail mailbox to the other system's synchronized mailbox. The other system applies a 3-part synchronization rule (113) to every message (200) arriving at its synchronized mailbox. If it detects a syncmark (204)--an identifier--of its own mailbox in the header (201) of the message, indicating that the message was previously copy-forwarded from this system, it just deletes the message. If it detects a syncmark or a pivot address of (any address resulting in message delivery to) the e-mail mailbox in any header field of the message other than the "From" field, indicating that the message is a new message copy-forwarded by the e-mail system, it stores the message in the synchronized mailbox but does not copy-forward it back to the e-mail mailbox. Any other message is a new message and is both stored in the synchronized mailbox and copy-forwarded, with the syncmark of the synchronized mailbox, to the e-mail mailbox. State changes of messages stored in each synchronized mailbox are detected and reported to the other synchronized mailbox, where like state changes are effected on corresponding messages.

Abstract translation: 一种在通过互联网（102）联网的不同消息系统（例如电子邮件系统（100）和多媒体系统（101））中同步共享邮箱（108,111）的内容的方式。 电子邮件系统使用Internet电子邮件社区的现有自动转发功能（115）将到达电子邮箱的每条消息的副本发送到其他系统的同步邮箱。 另一个系统对到达其同步邮箱的每个消息（200）应用3部分同步规则（113）。 如果它在消息的报头（201）中检测到其标识符（204） - 其自己的邮箱的标识符（指示该消息先前是从该系统复制转发的），则其仅删除该消息。 如果它检测到消息的任何标题字段中的“From”字段之外的（或任何导致消息传递的任何地址）的电子邮件信箱的同步标记或枢纽地址，表示该消息是新的消息副本转发 通过电子邮件系统，它将消息存储在同步邮箱中，但不会将其复制回电子邮件邮箱。 任何其他消息都是新消息，并且都存储在同步邮箱中，并将同步邮箱的syncmark复制转发到电子邮箱。 检测到存储在每个同步邮箱中的邮件的状态更改，并将其报告给另一个同步的邮箱，其中对相应的邮件执行状态更改。
