Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product for managing database servers and services is disclosed, which expands the capabilities of existing systems by providing better scalability and security. A database management system includes databases consisting of database clients and servers that handle the storing of information, a multi-database client that manages database servers, service modules which allow other systems to access the database servers, and a database access manager that manages requests from the service modules. A database access manager facilitates and coordinates interaction between the service modules and the multi-database client. Service modules provide interfaces from which other external or internal systems can access the managed databases. Requests can be sent between systems and the database access manager via the service modules. Two present and representative implementations of service modules are: user management and call detail record (CDR) collection. The user management service module allows systems to access user account information stored in the databases. The CDR collection service module inserts details for each call made on the network.

Abstract: A method for enabling selective muting of one or a plurality of participants to a conference call. In a first embodiment, a mute control device (MCD) is interconnected with a digital, or Internet Protocol (IP) phone and a packet-based network. Protocols associated with the MCD interface with the phone and network in a manner that allows call participant identification, creates a caller-operated user interface and allows caller controlled selective muting of one or more participants connected to a call. The MCD may act as a gateway through which all packet transmission to and from each participant's phone passes or it may control an existing network gateway. The user interface may take the form of a touch screen monitor, button bank or keyboard, or the MCD may interface with the keypad of the caller's phone. In a second embodiment, the MCD may be integrated with an IP phone creating a single user device.

Abstract translation: 一种用于使一个或多个参与者选择性地静音到电话会议的方法。 在第一实施例中，静音控制设备（MCD）与数字或因特网协议（IP）电话和基于分组的网络互连。 与允许呼叫参与者识别的方式与电话和网络的MCD接口相关联的协议创建呼叫者操作的用户界面，并允许呼叫者控制的选择性地静音连接到呼叫的一个或多个参与者。 MCD可以作为网关，通过该网关，来自每个参与者的电话的所有分组传输通过，或者可以控制现有的网络网关。 用户界面可以采取触摸屏监视器，按钮组或键盘的形式，或者MCD可以与呼叫者的电话的键区接口。 在第二实施例中，MCD可以与创建单个用户设备的IP电话集成。

The system provides call control, signaling, and/or delivery of voice, video, and other media in substantially real time. One embodiment of the system includes a call client application on a user device, and a call server located at a packet-switched telephony service provider. The call server is preferably operable to communicate with the call client in a non-native protocol and with the gateway in a native protocol.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for managing call sessions on public and private networks. The methods and systems operate to receive and send voice over internet protocol (VoIP) communications using a network, such as an IP network. The methods and systems also operate to receive and send emergency information over IP and other data networks. Based on certain criteria, the methods and systems determine whether to transfer a VoIP communication and/or emergency information to another entity associated with the IP network.

Abstract: Techniques for using instant messaging preferences and settings are used for predictive communications, including routing of data traffic, are provided. A voice call can be routed over a packet-based network if a voice network is not available, or for other reasons. In addition to voice calls, embodiments of the invention can route video calls, multimedia communications and other communications. In some implementations, an instant message presence can be queried for in determining how to route a voice-over-IP or PSTN telephone call. Thus, a call might be routed to a computer or computing device unrelated to the location of the PSTN telephone line being called, if an associated instant messenger presence is detected on that computer or computing device.

Abstract: A system and method for establishing voice communication between a packet-switched network and a circuit-switched network includes a network interface unit for coupling to the packet-switched network, a phone interface unit for coupling to the circuit-switched network and a gateway processor coupled to the network interface unit and to the phone interface unit. In response to a call request, a packet-switched network connection is established between the gateway processor and a first station in the packet-switched network, and a circuit-switched network-connection is established between the gateway processor and a second station in the circuit-switched network. Incoming voice data packets received from the first station are converted to outgoing voice signals, which are transmitted over the circuit-switched network connection to the second station. Incoming voice signals received from the second station are converted to outgoing voice data packets, which are transmitted over the packet-switched network connection to the first station. A conference call may be established among three or more conference call participants.
