Abstract: An in-progress call can be manipulated such that user devices in proximity to the in-progress call, but not initially part of the call, are enabled to join the in-progress call. Determining that a user device is in proximity to an in-progress call may include detection, by the user device, of an in-progress call. Alternatively, or in addition, a communication device involved in the in-progress call may detect a user device and query the user device as to whether it has permissions to join the in-progress call and, if so, whether it wants to join the in-progress call.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems are provided for identifying unique points in communication processing for substituting and restoring identities associated with the communication. These specific replacements facilitate communication requests to-and-from external identities to be treated similar to communication requests to-and-from enterprise users, thereby allowing enterprise users to access enterprise-based communication preferences and services via non-enterprise devices.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems are provided for taking a pluggable extension and applying it to a unique set of a user population to handle their preferred and user-centric alerting relationships. More particularly, the pluggable extension allows a user to have their personalized contact resolution algorithm applied by a server to calls initiated by them or directed toward. The contact resolution algorithm is pluggable to any server and does not need to be built into the server itself. Moreover, multiple users can refer to and use the same pluggable contact resolution algorithm.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems are provided for preserving connections, especially in a SIP environment. More specifically, the connection preservation techniques presented in this document enhance the RFC 4028-based session refresh approach in order to provide media connection preservation for calls that experience end-to-end signaling loss or refresh failures. Specifically, participants on a call can continue to exchange media despite the loss of control at the SIP signaling plane.

Abstract translation: 提供了用于保护连接的方法，设备和系统，特别是在SIP环境中。 更具体地说，本文中介绍的连接保存技术增强了基于RFC 4028的会话刷新方法，以便为经历端到端信令丢失或刷新失败的呼叫提供媒体连接保留。 具体来说，呼叫中的参与者可以继续交换媒体，尽管在SIP信令平面上丢失了控制。

Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems are provided for enhancing the functionality of a communication device, such as a communication endpoint. This provides the ability to enhance less intelligent SIP endpoints with required features to support a richer user experience. Furthermore, the endpoint enhancer may be dynamically pluggable onto an existing network device. This provided pluggability allows a network administrator to add a new SEE template to the network without disrupting the network operation or the operation of previously existing SEEs.

Abstract: Methods, devices, and systems are provided for marking one or more entities of a call as internal/external such that certain call features can be invoked by servers and other devices residing behind a gateway. More specifically, entities of a call can be marked as internal/external based employing an assessment algorithm to determine whether the calling endpoint is an internal or external endpoint and/or whether a user of the calling or answering endpoint is an internal or external user. Once this determination is made, the call can be marked accordingly such that the appropriate features can be invoked.

Abstract translation: 提供了方法，设备和系统，用于将呼叫的一个或多个实体标记为内部/外部，使得某些呼叫特征可以被驻留在网关之后的服务器和其他设备调用。 更具体地，呼叫的实体可以使用评估算法来标记为内部/外部，以确定呼叫端点是内部或外部端点和/或呼叫或应答端点的用户是内部还是外部用户。 一旦作出这一确定，可以相应地标记呼叫，以便可以调用适当的特征。
