摘要:
Telecommunication networks and methods are disclosed for providing a group session service for a plurality of participants. An application server in the telecommunication network receives a plurality of real-time media streams from the participants of the group session, and identifies voice media in the individual media streams. The voice media represents the spoken voice of the participants, and includes talking intervals separated by idle intervals (i.e., pauses in the spoken voice). The application server inputs the talking intervals as audio media elements into an audio media queue in the order received, and also outputs the audio media elements from the audio media queue in the order in which the audio media elements were inputted (i.e., in a first-in-first-out (FIFO) fashion) to generate a collective media stream for the group session. The collected audio stream is then provided to the participants of the group session.

IMS networks and methods are disclosed for providing purchasing sessions to mobile devices that are located proximate to a business. IMS network includes an application server that provides advertisements for the business to mobile devices that are located proximate to the business (i.e., the advertisements are pushed to the mobile devices). Responsive to an advertisement, the user of a mobile device may contact the application server through the mobile device to purchase one or more items from the business. The application server responds to the mobile device with receipt information for the purchase. The user may then request delivery of the purchased item through the mobile device by transmitting some or all of the receipt information to the application server. The application server may then schedule delivery of the item to the user of the mobile device.

Systems and methods are provided for assigning a tag, such as a short name, to a network address of a web page for ease in subsequent retrieval of the web page. A user of a browser application may enter a tag responsive to which the browser application associates the tag with a network address of a web page. The browser application then transmits the tag and the network address to a tag server that stores the tag as assigned to the network address. At a subsequent time, a user may enter the tag into a browser application to retrieve the network address that is associated with the tag. The browser application transmits the tag to the tag server to retrieve the network address associated with the tag. The browser application may then display the web page that is associated with the retrieved network address.

Communication networks and methods are disclosed that provide an information service that is tailored (or “auto-focused”) to individual customers or subsets of customers based on the location of those customers. The information service is implemented in one embodiment within a communication network (e.g., IMS network or traditional wireless network) having a presence/location server that maintains presence/location information associated with various customers served by the communication network.

Communication networks and methods are disclosed that provide a supplemental content service. The supplemental content service provides synchronized supplemental content, such as media clips, to a user over a communication network (e.g., a mobile wireless network). A content provider offering a primary content stream (e.g., a television program) broadcasts the primary content stream to a content receiving device (e.g., a television) of the user. The content provider also generates supplemental content that is an enhancement to the primary content stream. If the user subscribes to the supplemental content service, then the communication network provides the supplemental content to the user through a communication device (e.g., a mobile phone) that is synchronized with the primary content stream. The user can then experience the supplemental content over the communication device at the same time as experiencing the primary content stream over the content receiving device.

摘要:
A method in one example, the method comprising receiving content at a computing server that resides at a first site, where the content is to be synchronized with at least one other site. The method further comprises storing the content to be synchronized in a homing tag, and communicating the homing tag to the at least one other site.

An apparatus in one example has: first user equipment having a first set of personal information for use in a community based network, and a second set of personal information for use in a public network; second user equipment having a first set of personal information for use in the community based network, and a second set of personal information for use in the public network; a trusted presence system in an IMS network operatively coupled to the first and second user equipment; and the trusted presence system being structured such that, when the first user equipment is in the community based network places a call to the second user equipment in the public network, the second set of personal information of the second user equipment is withheld from the first user equipment at least during call setup.
