摘要： Methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media for providing at least one availability metaphor representing communications availability of at least one entity in an interactive map are disclosed. In one embodiment, a request to provide a map comprising at least one availability metaphor representing an availability state of an entity for communications may be received. For the at least one availability metaphor, an availability state of the entity associated with the at least one availability metaphor may be determined. A modified instance of the map comprised of the at least one availability metaphor may be generated based on the determined availability state of the entity associated with the at least one availability metaphor. The at least one availability metaphor of the modified instance of the map may represent the availability state of the associated entity. The modified instance of the map may be transmitted for rendering.

摘要： The present invention facilitates the forwarding of damaged packets, when the packets are carrying a certain type of content such as streaming media or other time-sensitive information where data integrity is less important than timely delivery. Once a packet is received, a determination is made as to whether the packet has been damaged. If the packet is damaged, an attempt is made to determine the type of content being carried by the packet and then a decision is made as to whether to forward the packet toward its destination or discard the packet, based on the type of content and potentially the integrity of the packet. Once a damaged packet has been discovered and a decision has been made to route the packet toward the destination terminal, the packet may be forwarded along a normal path or sent over an alternative path that is better suited for handling damaged packets.

摘要翻译： 当数据包携带某种类型的内容（例如流媒体或其他数据完整性比及时传送不太重要的其他时间敏感信息）时，本发明便于转发损坏的分组。 一旦接收到分组，就确定分组是否已被损坏。 如果分组被损坏，则尝试确定分组承载的内容的类型，然后根据内容的类型和潜在的方式决定是否将数据包转发到其目的地或丢弃该分组 数据包的完整性。 一旦已经发现损坏的分组并且已经做出将分组路由到目的地终端的决定，则分组可以沿着正常路径转发或者通过更适合于处理损坏分组的备选路径发送。

摘要： The present invention allows for dynamic association of a computational device, such as a personal computer or personal digital assistant, with a telephone terminal. A computer-telephone adaptor or like function implemented in a telephony switch or other telephony device will receive authentication indicia. The authentication indicia may be provided by the computational device that is to be associated with the telephone terminal, or through other means. The authentication indicia may be provided by a user or generated by the computational device or by other means. To confirm the association, the user must enter confirmatory authentication indicia corresponding to the original authentication indicia through the telephone terminal.

摘要： The present invention creates a buddy list in association with an information vehicle, such as a word processing document, presentation document, or email. The buddy list is created from contacts associated with the information vehicle, and includes communication information such as directory numbers or communication addresses, which are sufficient to establish communications with the contacts. Accordingly, the buddy list may be displayed to a user, and upon the selection of one or more contacts, communication sessions may be established with the selected contact or contacts. Presence information bearing on the relative availability of the contacts may be supported in the buddy list, such that the user can readily determine whether a particular contact is available or determine the best way in which to communicate with the particular contact by viewing the buddy list. The presence information may be periodically updated or may be updated when a particular contact is selected.

摘要： When a damaged packet has been forwarded to or towards a destination terminal, a forwarding device or a destination terminal will determine if the packet is damaged, and if it is damaged, determine whether the content of the packet is time-sensitive. If the content is time-sensitive, the damage to the packet is assessed, and if possible, an attempt to repair the damage is made. Repair may include correcting the damaged data or packet, deciding to use the damaged data because the damage is minimal, or replacing all or a part of the damaged data with a normalized set of data. If repair is not possible and replacement of the damaged portion is not available or desirable, the packet is discarded.

摘要： The present invention allows a first communication client, which is initiating a communication session, to include admission information in a session request used to establish the communication session in a regular call or conference scenario. The session request is intended to trigger a communication session between the first communication client and another communication client, which is associated with a telephony endpoint or a conferencing system having a communication client. The receiving communication client will use the admission information provided in the session request to determine whether the session is authorized. If authorized, the receiving communication client will either establish the communication session or allow the communication session to be established, as the situation dictates.
