Abstract: A service is provided to cell phone subscribers to improve reachability. A home location register node maintains state information on a subscriber's cell phone status. Cell phone status information includes: off; on, registered and available to receive calls; on, registered but busy participating in an ongoing call; on, registered but temporarily unavailable; and on, registered but unattended. Temporarily unavailable is further qualified: poor reception location, high interference, cell throughput saturation, intentional user disposition. Long term unavailability may also be inferred and indicated depending on the device and/or system status. When a call to a subscriber's cell phone cannot be completed or is not answered, the service annunciates the reason to the calling party. The calling party can then make a more informed decision as to when to reattempt the call and is more likely to reattempt the call. The service is provided in conjunction with call forwarding to landlines phones and/or voicemail.

Abstract translation: 向手机用户提供服务以提高可达性。 归属位置寄存器节点维护用户的手机状态的状态信息。 手机状态信息包括：关闭; 注册并可以接收电话; 已登记但正忙于参加正在进行的电话; 注册但暂时不可用; 并注册，但无人值守。 暂时不可用是进一步限定：接收位置差，干扰高，小区吞吐量饱和，故意用户配置。 也可以根据设备和/或系统状态来推断和指示长期不可用性。 当对用户手机的呼叫无法完成或无法应答时，该服务向主叫方通知原因。 主叫方随后可以就何时重新尝试该呼叫作出更明智的决定，并更有可能重新尝试该呼叫。 该服务与拨打电话和/或语音邮件的呼叫一起提供。

Abstract: A new system of analyzing advertising revenue derivation is provided that is particularly useful for predicting an amount of revenue that can be expected from advertisements placed in a business directory book having a certain geographic coverage. The system comprises estimating a preference factor of advertisers located in a first geographic area of placing advertisements in other geographic areas. This preference factor, along with other demographic data, is used to calculate a choice probability that advertisers will choose to place an advertisement in one business directory book over other competing books. A total amount of expected revenue for each particular geographic area within a metropolitan area is calculated. Finally, the total amount of expected revenue attributable to a particular business directory book is predicted based on the choice probability and the total amount of expected revenue for each geographic area.

Abstract: Groups of consenting users such as families can track where other members of the same group are under agreed upon access arrangements. The locating system can operate in a passive mode. Users do not have to actively sign-in or check-in to the locating system for the locating system to obtain individual location determination estimates. The locating system collects communications device usage information from a plurality of communications networks, e.g., landline, cellular, Wi-Fi, DSL. The locations of communication devices and infrastructure are known. Members of locating groups are associated with various communication devices detected are being used. Approximate locations of an individual member or members of a locating group are inferred from detected device usage information. A location report is generated, e.g., in a map, table, or audio format, indicating the determined location of individuals, and optionally including time tags. The report is provided to authorized members of the locating group.

Abstract: A method and system for administering calls on a voice network allows a user to selectively determine which calls will be accepted and assists the user in placing calls to other users on the network. The user may establish a list of users whose calls will be accepted and may also establish a list of users whose calls will not be accepted. The method and system may provide unwanted callers with an option to speak with the user for a fee. The method and system may also display phone or other messages to the user on a video display.

Abstract translation: 用于在语音网络上管理呼叫的方法和系统允许用户选择性地确定哪些呼叫将被接受，并且帮助用户向网络上的其他用户发起呼叫。 用户可以建立其呼叫将被接受的用户的列表，并且还可以建立不接受其呼叫的用户的列表。 该方法和系统可以向不想要的呼叫者提供与用户谈话费用的选项。 该方法和系统还可以在视频显示器上向用户显示电话或其他消息。
