    摘要: A computer-implemented machine learning method for improving a collaboration environment is provided. The method comprises receiving text data for one or more users of the collaboration environment. The method further comprises generating a statement by partitioning the text data. The method further comprises determining an act using the statement and generating a thread using at least the statement and the act. The method further comprises generating an actor list using at least the thread, and generating an actionable item using the actor list and the thread.

    摘要: The invention concerns a telecommunication system (10) and a computer-implemented method for transferring media data from a first RTC client (30) over a QoS-sensitive network (N1) using the real-time protocol (RTP) to a second RTC client (40), wherein the quality of service is based on different traffic classes and the media data contain a first media type with a first traffic class (QoS1) and a second media type with a second traffic class (QoS2), comprising the following steps: media data, which contain a first media type with a first traffic class (QoS1) and a second media type with a second traffic class (QoS2), are bundled by the first RTC client (30) into second packets (P2), in each second packet (P2), the traffic class (QoS1, QoS2) for each media type is marked in layer 4 and/or layer 5 of the real-time protocol (RTP), the second packets (P2) are transmitted in the direction of the second RTC client (40), either before or during the transfer to the network (N1), the second packets (P2) are unbundled using the markings in layer 4 and/or layer 5 of the real-time protocol (RTP) and then bundled into first packets (P1), each of which has only one of the traffic classes (QoS1, QoS2), and the first packets (P1) are transmitted over the network (N1) to the second RTC client (40).

    摘要: A method for controlling data streams of a virtual session with several participants who access at least access one application in the virtual session can include use of a selected media processing and a signaling mode in a centralized process for each participant according to the individual requirements of the participant. The process can be controlled by a server. The selection of the media processing and/or signaling mode can be made on the basis of an evaluation of the terminal of the respective participant and the network bandwidth available to the respective participant. An evaluation scheme with a plurality of evaluation criteria can be provided for the evaluation, and possible media processing and/or signaling modes are ascertained for the respective participant.

    摘要: Systems and methods for establishing call connection in response to user action, the method including receiving a first user action from a user associated with making a call connection, wherein the first user action comprises any of copying at least part of a phone number, pasting at least part of the phone number, or inputting at least part of the phone number. The method also includes determining one or more call recipients based on the first user action. The method also includes establishing one or more silent call connections based on the determined one or more call recipients, wherein each of the one or more silent call connections comprises a call connection with a predetermined parameter so that there are no incoming call indicators on one or more devices associated with the one or more call recipients.

    摘要: A method for automatic transmission of status information from a first communications terminal set up for speech communication to a second communications terminal set up for text communication is provided. The speech communication between communications terminals is processed over a speech communications server and the text communication between communications terminals over a text communications server. The speech communications server and the text communications server exchange messages over at least one converter device. The status information will be transmitted from the first communications terminal over the speech communications server, the converter device, and the text communications server to the second communications terminal.

    摘要: A method for displaying e-mail messages to a user of an e-mail message viewer comprises displaying a list of received e-mail messages with a list entry for each received email message and displaying binary information indicating the read/unread status of each received email message in the list. The read/unread status information of each received first email message is switched from “unread” to “read” when the text and/or attachments of this particular first e-mail message have been displayed at least partially to the user when opening this particular first e-mail message. The read/unread status information of each received second email message is switched from “unread” to “read” when the text and/or attachments of this particular second e-mail message have been displayed at least partially to the user when opening a particular first e-mail message.

    摘要: A system for handling calls in a network includes a memory storing instructions and a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform operations. The operations include receiving information about the calls for a time interval, determining, for the time interval, a total cost associated with handling the calls, including a network cost associated with transmitting data over the network, a processing cost for processing the information related to the calls, and a cost of dynamically reassigning master and slave roles to a plurality of nodes in the network. The operations further include determining an assignment of the master and slave roles for a plurality of accounts being handled by the plurality of nodes that results in the total cost having a minimum value, and implementing the optimal assignment among the plurality of the accounts based on the determination.
