Abstract: A method for synchronizing media in a call includes receiving a first input stream of packets of a first media type at a first call resource, generating a first output stream in response to the media streams, receiving synchronization information from a second call resource, and communicating the output stream from the first call resource to a endpoint in synchronization with the second call resource. A video conference bridge includes a first interface operable to receive a video input stream, a processor operable to generate video output, and a second interface operable to receive synchronization information from an audio conference bridge.

Abstract: Methods for concealing audible distortions resulting from changes in jitter buffer size include receiving an audio stream, storing the audio stream in a jitter buffer, and determining a pitch period associated with the audio stream. To expand the jitter buffer, a method includes inserting additional audio data that has a duration corresponding to an integer multiple of the pitch period into the audio stream. To contract the jitter buffer, a method includes removing a portion of the audio stream having a duration corresponding to an integer multiple of the pitch period.

Abstract: A method and system for real-time monitoring voice mail during an active call includes generating a duplicate of a calling party voice stream being recorded by voice mail for a called party on a call with a previously connected party. The duplicate calling party voice stream is combined with a previously connected party voice stream to generate a combined voice stream for the called party. The combined party stream is played to the called party during the call.

Abstract: A method and system for call answer while connected to voice mail includes generating real-time packets for transmission of a message toward a voice mail system. Generation of the real-time packets is interrupted upon a call answer by a party generating the message. Generation of the real-time packets for transmission of the message toward the voice mail system is resumed after a delay associated with the call answer. An indication is provided to the voice mail system that the real-time packets generated subsequent to the delay follow the real-time packets generated prior to the delay in the message by a time amount less than the delay.

Abstract: A communication system includes a server, a call manager, and a plurality of network endpoints. The network endpoints are assigned to network regions to allow selection of a proper compression/decompression algorithm (codec) for a call between the network endpoints. In one embodiment, the server receives a request for a network address from a network endpoint, and communicates the network address and a network location parameter identifying a network region to the endpoint. In another embodiment, the call manager receives a call request from a network endpoint and determines a network region for the endpoint based on the endpoint's network address. In yet another embodiment, an endpoint determines its own network region based on its network address.
