    摘要: A call message service arrangement in a telephone system. The arrangement automatically generates and stores a callback message for a called station responsive to a signal from a station served by the system that is associated with the call. If the arrangement is activated from the calling or called stations, a message is stored including the identity of the calling station. If the call has been redirected to another station for any reason, the identity of the other station or that of the calling station may be stored in the message responsive to different signals from the stations. Message waiting lamps are automatically lit and extinguished to alert called parties of the presence of stored messages.

    摘要: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, and machine-readable mediums that assign a same identifier to a plurality of a user's communication devices. A communication server alerts only one device of the plurality of communication devices at a time in response to a communication establishment request from a calling communication device directed to the identifier. If the user fails to answer the alert, another device is chosen and alerted according to a particular sequence of devices until the user either answers or until all devices (or a determined subset of devices) have been tried. In some examples, the communication devices are reachable by the communication service via an alternative address known to the communication server, such as an Internet Protocol (IP) address.

    摘要: The technology disclosed herein enables regulation of features provided by respective endpoints registered for a user in a multi-endpoint service. In a particular embodiment, a method includes, in response to determining that a first endpoint is being operated by a first user, associating the first endpoint with a primary designation and associating the second endpoint with a secondary designation. The method further includes allowing the first endpoint to provide a first set of communication features in accordance with the primary designation and preventing the second endpoint from providing the first set of communication features in accordance with the secondary designation.

    摘要: A connection manager manages connections for associated user devices by determining whether an incoming connection has been answered at a user device, and if so then generating and transmitting silencing commands to associated user devices using first and second wireless communication modes, with one mode being faster. Connections can comprise phone calls, and modes can comprise push and Bluetooth® messaging. The connection manager can instruct device outputs to provide connection alerts, limited to visual alerts when an associated user device is active, listen for associated user device communications, and instruct device outputs to stop providing alerts when a silencing command is received. Further, a connection manager can receive a signal regarding a headset status, route an outside connection from a phone to the headset when the headset is active or to another device when the headset is not active, detect a change in headset status, and reroute the connection accordingly.

    摘要: A system and method for initiating a personal emergency response is disclosed. The method can include receiving an emergency communication via a virtual assistant, spoken by a user and an urgent situation or an emergency situation. The emergency communication can be processed to determine the nature of the emergency communication and translate the emergency communication into an emergency data message having a digital representation of information related to the emergency communication. If the emergency communication indicates an urgent situation, the system can contact an emergency contact based on stored user preferences. If the emergency communication indicates an emergency situation, then the system can aid in the dispatch of emergency services and provide information about the user to provide a measured response to the emergency communication.
