Abstract: A system and method for charging a prepaid account for telephony services reserves portions of a balance of the prepaid account to pay for telephony services that have been requested by a user. Once the final charges for providing the telephony services are known, the balance is reduced by the amount of the actual charges, and any portion of the reserved amount is released.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling how images are displayed on a display screen of a portable computing device changes the orientation of the images on the display screen when the orientation of the portable computing device changes. If the orientation of the portable computing device is changing only infrequently, the orientation of the images on the display screen may be rapidly changed when the orientation of the portable computing device changes. If the orientation of the portable computing device is changing relatively frequently, the orientation of the images may not switch until after a delay period has expired after each change in orientation of the portable computing device occurs.

Abstract: A system and method for making a VoIP-based and other types of group calls includes a user interface adapted for use by a group call administrator via the Internet, a database manager connected to the user interface, and a database connected to the database manager. In one embodiment of the invention, the group call administrator identifier and one or more group call invitee identifiers is a telephone number. A method includes using call information from the database to initiate conference call connections and an administrator call connection to facilitate a conference call in which the administrators call connections and the participants connections are joined to allow communications between the participants and the administrator.

Abstract: Systems and methods performed by an IP telephony system are designed to determine when two parties to a recently terminated telephony communication are simultaneously calling each other in an attempt to re-establish a telephony communication. When the IP telephony system determines that this situation is occurring, the IP telephony system acts to connect the two parties, rather than have both of them see their new call setup attempt fail because the other party's telephony device is indicated to be busy.

Abstract translation: IP电话系统执行的系统和方法被设计为确定最近终止的电话通信的两方当前是否正在相互呼叫以尝试重新建立电话通信。 当IP电话系统确定发生这种情况时，IP电话系统用于连接双方，而不是让他们看到他们的新呼叫建立尝试失败，因为对方的电话设备被指示为忙。
