Abstract:
A communication service is provided by audibly interacting with a user in a communication in accordance with an audible menu used for audible interaction. A networked web-integrated interaction system determines, during the communication and based on an audible interaction with the user, to provide the user with a visual menu used for visual interaction. The visual menu at least partially matches the audible menu used for audible interaction. The user is provided with the visual menu during the communication upon determining, based on the audible interaction with the user in the communication, to provide the user with the visual menu. An interaction with the user during the communication after the visual menu is provided is a visual interaction in accordance with the visual menu used for visual interaction.
Abstract:
In a telecommunication system having at least two communicants (i.e., a caller and a callee), a system and method are presented for collecting information associated with the geographical location of either of the communicants. In one embodiment, the approach entails receiving a geographical location corresponding to a public switched telephone network (PSTN) telephone number, and collecting geographical location information associated with the received geographical location.
Abstract:
A media device includes a processor and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory stores instructions corresponding to an overlay application and a media playback application. The instructions are executable by the processor to perform various operations. The operations may include obtaining media content identified in a manifest and using the media playback application to generate a display that includes the media content. Responsive to a trigger in the manifest, the operations also include retrieving the overlay application from the memory and executing the overlay application to allocate a portion of the display to interactive content indicated by the manifest.

Abstract:
A system and method that notifies the receipt of a voicemail message at an IP telephone using one or more of instant messaging and short message service. A preferred embodiment of the invention provides an IP telephone that prepares a notification regarding the receipt of a voicemail message. In one embodiment, the IP telephone queries the availability of an instant messaging client via an instant messaging presence server, and forwards the notification to the instant messaging presence server if the instant messaging client is available. In another embodiment, the IP telephone sends the notification to a short message service client via a short message service gateway. In still another embodiment, the IP telephone sends the notification to both instant messaging client and short message service clients.
