摘要:
A call services manager and methods for improving the quality and efficiency of voice of Internet Protocol (“VOIP”) calls are provided. In an embodiment a method to improve communication link utilization on a call requiring the use of a central service platform is provided. An additional method is provided to validate caller identification information exchanged between originating and terminating communication devices in an IP voice network. In a further aspect of the invention, a method using a call services manager is provided to dynamically switch from one call route to another based on quality of service considerations. A call services manager is also provided. The call services manager is a software proxy that can reside at any type of network element. The call services manager includes software modules to implement the above methods for improving VOIP quality, and can include other call service and quality improvement modules.

A system and method of controlling access to one or more electronic devices is disclosed. The method can include the step of—out of a plurality of electronic devices—identifying a master device and a slave device. The master device can be configured to control access to at least one feature of the slave device, and the master device can be associated with a person who has supervisory authority over another person who uses the slave device. During an active session on the slave device, a pre-disablement warning can be sent to the slave device in which the pre-disablement warning can identify a first time period by which access to the feature of the slave device is to be prevented. A disablement message can be sent to the slave device, thereby preventing access to the feature of the slave device following the expiration of the first time period.

A master device transmits a de-subscription command to a base station with which it is subscribed. The de-subscription command indicates the master device intends to de-subscribe itself, which requires resolution of a conflict handling process. Upon resolution of the conflict handling process, the base station de-subscribes the master device.

An electronic device includes a housing, a printed circuit board, a first heat sink and a second heat sink. The printed circuit board is disposed internal to the housing and supports at least one integrated circuit (IC) chip. The first heat sink is also disposed internal to the housing and is thermally connected to the at least one IC chip. The second heat sink is connected to the housing such that at least a portion thereof is externally disposed to the housing. The second heat sink is thermally connected to the first heat sink via an aperture in the housing.
摘要:
A method and a processing system for creating distinct user spaces. In a platform originally intended to be a single user platform, for each of a plurality of users, at least one mountable element can be uniquely assigned to the user and data associated with the user can be stored to the assigned mountable element to create a multi-user platform.

A communication system is described that includes a mobile communication device and a docking station with which the mobile communication device can be selectively engaged and disengaged. The mobile communication device includes telephony logic that enables a user to conduct a voice call using a first speaker/microphone and/or a first network interface provided by the mobile communication device when the mobile communication device is disengaged from the docking station and that enables the user to conduct a voice call using a second speaker/microphone and/or a second network interface provided by the docking station when the mobile communication device is engaged with the docking station. The telephony logic is also capable of dynamically switching between the use of the first and second speakers/microphones and/or the first and second network interfaces in response to detecting engagement or disengagement of the docking station during a voice call.

A managed services platform and method of operation of same are described herein. The platform can include a device management service (DMS) server in which the DMS server can act as a gateway for communications with one or more computing devices, and the computing devices are associated with a first entity. The platform can also include an application service (AS) server in which the AS server is communicatively coupled with the DMS server. When a first computing device contacts the DMS server, the DMS server is operable to provide a bundle to the first computing device. As an example, the bundle contains content that at least includes one or more configuration messages and an application set that contains one or more predefined applications. The content of the bundle can be determined at least in part by the first entity.

A legacy device bridge for use in a network, such as a wired or wireless residential network, is provided. The legacy device bridge performs protocol conversion to enable a network-attached entity that uses a packet-based communication protocol to communicate with and control legacy devices, such as consumer electronics, that rely exclusively on infrared (IR) or serial communication protocols. The legacy device bridge also performs a virtualization function that allows legacy devices to be advertised to the network as devices that comply with a packet-based discovery and control protocol, and to be controlled as such. The legacy device bridge is also adapted to probe, deduce and publish information relating to the state of a legacy device to other entities on the network.
