The system generates a first data stream which represents a data signal. The first data stream is encoded via a first encoding technique. The first data stream comprises one or more packets with a duration and timestamp. The data signal is encoded into a second data stream using a different encoding technique with a corresponding packet in the second data stream. A packet in the second data stream has the same duration and timestamp as the corresponding packet in the first data stream.The first data stream is sent on a first network. The second data stream is sent on a second network. The first and second data streams are received. A missing/delayed packet in the first data stream is detected. The data signal is regenerated using the first data stream and the packet from the second data stream that corresponds to the missing/delayed packet in the first data stream.

A communication system receives data that does not pertain to an attempted initial establishment of a communication. The communication system uses a new message format under an existing analog Caller ID standard. The communication system inserts the data (which can be in addition to existing Caller ID data) into a Caller ID message that uses the new message format. The communication system then sends the Caller ID message to a communication device/Private Branch Exchange (PBX)/contact center that can interpret the new message format. The communication device/PBX/contact center can use the data to further route the communication to a specific telephone and/or can use the data to display information such as Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates of a cell phone. The data can enhance the capabilities of devices and systems that currently work under the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).

The system gets a request to add a communication node to an existing peer-to-peer communication session between two communication nodes. The communication node is added to the existing peer-to-peer communication session. The communication nodes in the existing peer-to-peer communication have not previously defined a mixing node. The communication nodes in the existing peer-to-peer communication session exchange a mixing score. A mixing node is determined based on the exchanged mixing score. Additional systems are defined which determine a mixing node when two peer-to-peer communication sessions are joined into a combined peer-to-peer communication session.

A network synchronization method designed to provide synchronization of multiple networks and devices. This invention provides a specific method for determining which nodes are responsible for network synchronization as nodes fail or cannot see each other due to conditions on the network. This allows for fault tolerance in a network in which conditions change dynamically. In addition, this invention uses synchronization codes and network numbers to isolate separate networks using the same physical medium, thus allowing sharing of network resources.

A method and apparatus for selecting and displaying command and response packets of interest communicated over a network utilizing a command and response protocol. The method and apparatus of the invention enable the quick determination of problems which can occur when utilizing a command and response protocol.

A method for controlling a multi-media presentation is provided. The method includes displaying an event structure related to an event on a graphical user interface, getting a plurality of event items associated with the event, and displaying the plurality of event items associated with the event structure on the graphical user interface. Responsive to an event trigger, the event is started. The method further includes receiving a selection of a first event item from the plurality of event items, performing a first action related to the first event item, and sending an output of the first action to a display device.

An authentication string, such as a password, consists of characters. Each of the characters in the authentication string is randomly associated with a defined location on a device. For example, an area on a touch screen can be associated with a character in the authentication string. When a user selects a location associated with the character, feedback is provided that identifies the character. When the user selects a location that is not associated with the character, feedback is provided that does not identify the character.If the user responds by indicating that the associated location matches the character, the character is authenticated. If the user responds by indicating that a location not associated with the character is a match, the character is not authenticated. This process is then repeated for each character in the authentication string.

A text object(s) such as a document containing a plurality of text items (e.g., chapters, paragraphs, etc.) is used to generate a search term. At least one, but not all, of the text items in the text object are selected based on a profile. The selected text item(s) are parsed to generate one or more search terms. This allows a user to drag-and-drop a graphical text object into a search engine icon to automatically perform a search based on the profile. Alternatively, a non-text object (e.g., an image) containing any identifiable item is used to generate the search term. Based on the profile, the item is parsed to generate a text representation of the item. The text representation of the item is used to generate one or more search terms.

A document is spelling and/or grammar checked and the errors are identified. The spelling and/or grammar errors are organized into groups of similar spelling and/or grammar errors. The groups of spelling and/or grammar errors are then presented for display to a user. The user can then view and spell and/or grammar check a whole group and/or individual errors in the group.The system also allows for spelling and/or grammar checking of multiple documents at the same time. Checking of multiple documents is accomplished by a user interface that can check multiple documents serially or in parallel. This provides a robust mechanism for managing spelling and grammar checking of directories of documents and groups of documents. In addition to checking text documents, the system and method allow spelling and/or grammar checking of non-text documents, web pages, and other types of documents.

One or more participants in a communication are authenticated using an authentication metric such as a face print or voice print. A single telecommunication address (or one for each participant) that is not associated with a communication device and is associated with at least one of the participants is determined. The telecommunication address (or addresses) is sent during the initiation of a communication session.Other embodiments provide for sending a single associated telecommunications address, individual identifiers of each of the participants, and a communication device name to better identify exactly who is calling. The system can also detect when an additional participant has joined the communication session and when a participant leaves the communication session.
