Abstract:
A conference managing computer system for managing one or more communication sessions is disclosed. The conference managing computer system includes a monitoring module for monitoring one or more requests from one or more user devices to remotely access the communication session. The conference managing computer system further includes a detection module for detecting presence of the one or more user devices based on proximity. The conference managing computer system further includes a connection module for establishing one or more real time communication sessions with one or more detected user devices. The conference managing computer system further includes a conferencing module for managing the one or more communication sessions to enable the one or more detected user devices to join the communication session.
Abstract:
In order to authenticate a caller, a callee generates a code, such as, an alphanumeric code that is sent to a code manager via an electronic communication channel. The generated code is for authenticating a caller in a communication session to be made by the caller to the callee. The code manager stores the code in a memory. After the communication session has been initiated from the caller to the callee and then established, the code is sent to the callee so the callee can verify the caller is authentic.
Abstract:
An authorization system for dynamically awarding permissions to a requestor for performing an action, based on real-time monitored statistics of the requestor. The authorization system comprises a processor and a memory. The memory further comprises a status database for storing real-time information corresponding to the requestor, and a rules database for storing rules to enable the authorization system in determining permissions for various requestors' requests to perform the action. Additionally, the memory includes a status determining module for determining status-data related to the requestor, and a permission awarding module to evaluate the status-data with a dynamically selected set of rules for awarding permission to a requestor's request. The memory further includes a risk estimation module for calculating risk associated in awarding the permission, and an action triggering module for triggering an associated action based on the calculated risk.
Abstract:
A communication device is described along with various methods and systems for controlling the same. Methods are provided that monitor audio from a local and remote audio stream when determining whether to provide a mute notification on a muted call. In general, when a mute function of a communication device is active and a user attempts to speak, the system can analyze the user's local audio stream and the call's remote audio stream to determine whether characteristics exist to provide a mute notification to the user. The system provides mechanisms for controlling false positive determinations of speaking through mute by utilizing a combination of recorded characteristics and initiated timers that can be adjusted based on determinations made.
Abstract:
An electronic device, system, and method performs an automated control. The electronic device includes an audio output device configured to play a sound. The electronic device includes a processor configured to receive state data indicative of a state of a user of the electronic device. The processor is configured to control an activation of the audio output device based upon the state data. The activation of the audio output device is based upon first setting data when the state data indicates a first state. The activation of the audio output device is based upon second setting data when the state data indicates a second state.

Abstract:
A dynamic notification system for managing notifications on a user device is provided. The dynamic notification system includes a monitor module for monitoring user's interactions with previous notifications on the user device. The dynamic notification system further includes an order module for dynamically determining an order of display for notifications based on the user's interactions with the previous notifications. The dynamic notification system further includes a display module for displaying the notifications based on the determined order. The dynamic notification system also includes a customization module that allows a user to customize the order of display for notifications based upon a source or application associated with a notification.
