摘要： The present invention provides a mechanism for categorizing telephone calls and for providing special information about calls that appear on call lists maintained in a telephone. The invention provides for both providing an indication and for providing an action. When an entry on a call list is highlighted (in a conventional manner), pressing one key adds a flag to the entry on the call list to indicate that follow up action is required. Pressing a second key initiates an action such as attaching a reminder so that the user will be reminded to take action later. Pressing a third key will provide a text message balloon indicating information about the call. The flags and text messages can be added by either the called party or the calling party.

摘要： Disclosed are, inter alia, methods, apparatus, computer-storage media, mechanisms, and means associated with load balancing across multiple network address translation (NAT) instances and/or processors. N network address translation (NAT) processors and/or instances are each assigned a portion of the source address traffic in order to load balance the network address translation among them. Additionally, the address space of translated addresses is partitioned and uniquely assigned to the NAT processors and/or instances such that the identification of the assigned NAT processor and/or instance associated with a received translated address can be readily determined there from, and then used to network address translate that received packet.

摘要： A system and method allowing control of VoIP communications by configuring a Network Address Translator (NAT) is provided. In a first NAT configuration, such a port-restricted NAT, peer-to-peer Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communications are permitted between a VoIP originator and a receiver. In a second NAT configuration, such as a symmetrical NAT, peer-to-peer communications are not possible without further cooperation of the NAT. In this manner, an entity that has control of the NAT, such as an ISP, is able to have a degree of control over traffic using network resources such as bandwidth.

摘要： A method for authenticating communication traffic includes receiving a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) data packet sent over a network from a source address to a destination address, sending an outgoing SIP message to the source address, receiving an incoming SIP message in response to the outgoing SIP message and processing the incoming SIP response message so as to assess authenticity of the received SIP data packet.

摘要： A system for sharing presence-based time-zone information includes a database, and a controller. The database includes a plurality of presence profiles, each presence profile maintaining, for an associated network user, one or more network device identifiers and, for each network device identifier, a current presence status, indicating network availability, and current time-zone information based on geographic location. The controller is able to receive presence information, determine a matching one of the presence profiles, update the current presence status and the current time-zone information in the matching one of the presence profiles, generate shifted time-zone information, generate a presence update, identify a subscriber address for receiving the presence update, and transmit the presence update to the subscriber address.

摘要： Disclosed are apparatus and techniques for escalating an instant messaging (IM) session between two or more users to an audio session so that a communication device (by one or more users) that will optimize the audio session is selectively and intelligently utilized. In one embodiment, if an IP (Internet Protocol) phone is connected to the computer on which an IM session is being escalated, the IP telephone may be used instead of the computer device's own soft telephone so as to maximize audio clarity and quality. In another embodiment, a user's cell phone may be utilized for a mobile user who is using a laptop that is not coupled to an IP telephone or who is communicating from a hotel room in which a telephone call is typically more expensive than a cell phone call. Numerous embodiments for optimizing such audio sessions are described herein.

摘要： A system and methods enable a mobile communications device to determine the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) that serves the device, without disclosing the device's exact location. The device makes a query to its service provider that includes a bounded description of the device's location. The mobile device receives a first set of “edges” corresponding to a set of polygons defined on the earth's service. The mobile device then determines which of the received polygons it is included within by extending an imaginary latitudinal line through the polygon's edges and counting the number of intersections.

摘要： In accordance with a particular embodiment of the present invention, a method for providing privacy protection to network users includes receiving a subscription request from a first end user. The subscription request identifies a second end user for whom the first end user would like to become a registered presence watcher. A cost to be assessed to become the registered presence watcher of the second end user is determined, and the first user is registered as the registered presence watcher of the second end user.

摘要： In accordance with a particular embodiment of the present invention, a method using shared configuration information to manage network access for externally generated communications includes maintaining association information for a first end user of a private network and maintaining configuration information for a first endpoint associated with the first end user. When an externally generated communication that is addressed for delivery to a second endpoint associated with a second end user is received at an access point to the private network, the association information is used to determine an association between the first end user and the second end user. The configuration information for the first end user is used to configure the access point to allow the communication to be delivered to the second endpoint
