摘要： An interface engine that is communicatively connected to a packet-switched network and to a legacy circuit-switched network uses a call processing protocol, such as the session initiation protocol (SIP), for packet-switched network communications and uses a legacy signaling protocol, such as IS-41, for legacy circuit-switched communications. In response to a registration request initiated by a subscriber device on the packet-switched network, the interface engine obtains a service profile for the subscriber from a call processing system, such as a home location register (HLR), of the legacy circuit-switched network. Service parameters derived from the service profile and stored in a service database may be used to apply services on the packet-switched network for the subscriber device.

摘要： A service agent can receive a request to establish a communication session between a communicative entity and another communicative entity. The service agent can access profile information for the communicative entity. Using the profile information the service agent can detect a transition from a first billing mode to a second billing mode, and it can prompt the communicative entity for an authorization to transfer from the first billing mode to the second billing mode.

摘要： A system for authenticating and/or authorizing users of a service includes one communication interface with an access communication channel and another communication interface with a confirmation communication channel. Requests for a user to access a service are received over the access communication channel, and confirmation codes for the user are received over a trusted confirmation channel, such as an SMS text messaging system. Confirmation codes may be received from the user requesting access to the service or by a third party acting as a gatekeeper to the service. The system tests the validity of received confirmation codes, and enables the user to access the service if a valid confirmation code is received.

摘要： A method and apparatus for masquerading the identity of a first communication device returning a missed call placed by a second communication device to a third communication device. The first communication device receives a missed call notification indicating the second communication device placed a first call to the third communication device. Thereafter, the first communication device initiates a second call to the second communication device and directs a network to deliver to the second communication device caller identification information that indicates the second call originates from the third communication device. Moreover, the first communication device may include a missed call log that includes missed call notifications for missed calls placed directly to the first communication device as well as missed call notifications for missed calls originally placed to another communication device. The first communication device can present to a user missed call notifications stored in the missed call log.

摘要： A system and methods for distributing media data regarding a specific topic to a user. The system comprises a media-host device, server, and distribution module. The media-host device submits a request for the media data, receives a textual structure summarizing the specific topic, and presents the textual structure to the user. The server stores the textual structure. The distribution module communicates the textual structure to the media-host device. One method comprises receiving a request to present the textual structure, retrieving the textual structure, formatting the textual structure to be readable by a media-host device, and transmitting the textual structure to the media-host device. Another method comprises determining the format of the media-host device, formatting the textual structure to be presentable on the media-host device, and transmitting the formatted textual structure to the media-host device.

摘要： A method and system for providing prepaid data service. A subscriber terminal may establish a connection with a communications network. Based on a balance of a prepaid account, traffic from the subscriber terminal may be directed to a self-service portal. At the self-service portal, a user of the subscriber terminal may provide a credit card to add value to a prepaid account and to select a type of prepaid data service. The subscriber terminal may then be granted access to a data network. The balance of the prepaid account may be adjusted in accordance with the prepaid data service that is provided. When the balance of the prepaid account meets a threshold, the subscriber terminal's access to the data network may be redirected back again to the self-service portal.

摘要： A system for allowing a telephone subscriber to selectively block incoming calls for selected time periods or during programmed time intervals. A subscriber may pre-program a time interval in minutes, or a time period (start time and end time) for which some or all incoming calls are to be blocked. The subscriber may assign caller numbers or personal identification numbers to one of a plurality of tiers of access. The subscriber may enable the call blocking system for selected access tiers. An emergency access tier may be provided to insure emergency calls are not blocked by the system.

摘要： A method and system for coupon distribution and use. A merchant provisions a coupon with a coupon server, and the coupon server delivers the coupon to a consumer's device via SMS, WAP push, e-mail, instant messaging, or in another manner. The consumer then presents the device to a merchant at a point of purchase, to convey the coupon from the consumer's device to the merchant for validation and redemption with respect to a sales transaction between the consumer and the merchant. The coupon can be conveyed from the consumer's device to the merchant in various ways, such as via radio frequency transmission or reading of the coupon from a display of the device.
