摘要： A telecommunications system includes a packet network; a plurality of VoIP endpoints; and a plurality of VoIP feature servers. The VoIP endpoints are able to send configuration request messages to the feature servers. The feature servers respond with information indicative of supported features. The VoIP endpoints can then update the system configurations based on the response information. Further, newly added feature servers transmit feature availability messages to endpoints when initially installed. The endpoints then respond to configure themselves appropriately.

摘要： A telephone answering system (100) and method (200) that permits a user to immediately generate a customized playback message in response to an incoming call without having to actually answer the call. The system (100) can include a ring detector (104), a command interface (114), a controller (110) and a telephone network interface (102). In response to an incoming call, the ring detector (104) alerts the called party and causes the controller (110) to activate the command interface (114). The command interface (114) is activated for a predetermined time while the call is still ringing. While activated, the called party can select or enter a playback message. The playback message can be a pre-recorded audio message stored within the device, or a voice message spoken by the called party during the activation period. After the playback message is selected by the called party, the telephone system (100) answers the incoming call and automatically plays the customized message to the calling party.

摘要翻译： 一种电话应答系统（100）和方法（200），其允许用户响应于来电而立即生成定制的重放消息，而不必实际应答呼叫。 系统（100）可以包括环形检测器（104），命令接口（114），控制器（110）和电话网络接口（102）。 响应于来电，环形检测器（104）警告被叫方并使控制器（110）激活命令接口（114）。 当呼叫仍然振铃时，命令接口（114）被激活预定时间。 被叫方被激活后，可以选择或输入播放信息。 播放消息可以是存储在设备内的预先记录的音频消息，也可以是被叫方在激活期间所说出的语音消息。 在被叫方选择回放消息后，电话系统（100）应答来电，并自动向主叫方播放定制消息。

摘要： Some embodiments provide a system for synchronizing participant copies of presentation data during a collaboration session. A presenter/server controlling the session sends synchronization commands when a change in state of the presentation data occurs. The synchronization commands can be received by a mobile communication device and then forwarded to the participant computer system where it is used to synchronize the copy of the presentation data with the presenter/server.
