Abstract:
A call processing system includes a call processing server. The call processing server processes calls for an internal network that employs SIP features and functions. The call processing server can receive calls from or send calls to one or more external communication endpoints that are not part of the internal network. However, the call processing server can associate a floating user agent with the communication from the external communication endpoint and lock the floating user agent to a gateway. After locking onto a gateway and initiating the call, the floating user agent can then publish call event status and receive SIP primitives similar to other SIP-enabled devices.
Abstract:
Negotiation of a future communication through a personal virtual assistant is provided. A trigger command is received. The trigger command identifies a communication received for a recipient from a sender. Schedule information is accessed. The schedule information is related to the recipient of the received communication. A plurality of options is presented to the sender. The plurality of options are for arranging a future communication between the sender and the recipient, and include at least one option determined based on the accessed schedule information. A selection of an option for arranging a future communication is received. The selected option is executed to arrange the future communication.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for implementing, via a communication device, a set of algorithms to learn about user's usage of the device and provide automated customization to the device's user interface to improve ease of use and productivity of the end-user. This approach does not require the user's involvement by manually customizing the user interface, such as by setting up a speed dial list or a screen layout. The system automates rendering decisions and the content that is rendered based on the usage information. For example, if a user consistently calls a number every Tuesday and Wednesday morning regardless of scheduled calendar information, the communication device can provide a dynamic widget in the user interface for easy access to that number every Tuesday and Wednesday morning. The user can dial the number easily via the widget without the dial pad or a contacts application.

Abstract:
A method, apparatus and computer program product for providing additional information related to a sender of a communication is presented. A communication intended for a recipient is received, the communication including information related to the sender of the communication. A Personal Virtual Assistant (PVA) acquires in real time additional information related to the sender of the communication. The additional information related to the sender of the communication is then presented to the recipient attached to the communication where possible. The PVA is capable of acting on the recipient's real time instructions relating to the additional information.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for generating a context-based rich communication log. A system configured to practice the method performs a context-based analysis of a history of communication sessions over at least two communication modalities, wherein the context-based analysis considers semantic meaning, temporal relationship, and user activities. The system generates associations between the communication sessions based on the context-based analysis, and generates the context-based rich communication log based on the associations. The context-based analysis can be based on time, session participant identifications, ongoing events, and/or on-demand queries of the communication sessions. The system can then present the context-based rich communication log to a user. The context-based rich communication log can be used as part of at least one of a predictive contacts application, a topic analyzer, a conferencing application, and a personal communication assistant, for example.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for enhanced call routing. A system configured to practice the method determines the communicative intent of a caller based on the caller's identity, communication history, job title, and/or other factors. Based on this communicative intent, the system develops a list of most probable call destinations. From this list of most probable call destinations, the system selects the most-likely call destination the destination most likely to meet the needs of the caller based on the subject received. Then the system can initialize communications are then initialized between the user and the most-likely call destination.
Abstract:
A system collects a plurality of communications including at least two different types of communications. The system links the plurality of communications with an identifier that can be used to identify the plurality of communications, and stores the plurality of communications. The system allows a user to perform an action on at least one of the plurality of communications.
