    摘要: A multimedia multiparty communication system and method which includes one or more “agents” and one or more “brokers”. Each communication session is managed by a broker which creates and maintains the session. An agent may cause a broker to alter a communication session by entering into “negotiations” with the broker. It is also possible for an agent, through the broker, to enter into negotiations with one or more other agents. Negotiations, between agents and between agents and brokers may consist of any number of exchanged messages (or “offers”), thereby allowing for the dynamic negotiations necessary for effective multimedia multiparty communications.

    摘要: A circuit configuration in a multimedia network representing a controllably persistent virtual meeting room simulates an actual meeting room where conferences between two or more people may be held. This facilitates the creation in the network of flexible, long-term multimedia conferences between conferees who are separated from one another. Any number of conferees may communicate with one another via one or more of audio, video, and data. Virtual meeting rooms may persist in the network for predetermined periods of time controlled by the users of the meeting room. The room may remain in the network independent of whether or not a user is connected to the room. The meeting room is a vehicle whereby the activity of various media servers is coordinated to effectuate conferences between multiple participants in more than one medium. The servers are associated with storage devices which may record or store certain aspects of multimedia conferences using the virtual meeting room.

    摘要: Enhanced Internet service is provided over an ISDN line by eliminating from the D-channel any packets that will introduce unacceptable delay in packets transmitted over the B-channel. The enhancement is achieved by segregating the packets between the B-channels and the D-channel based on the stream to which the packets belong. Furthermore, instead of bonding together both B-channels and the D-channel, only the B-channels may be bonded to each other, while the D-channel is kept independent. To do so, instead of using MLPPP over the combination of both B-channels and the D-channel, as in the prior art, MLPPP is used over only both B-channels, while data that is separately directed to the D-channel employs another protocol, e.g., PPP. Advantageously, the number of protocols used to transmit the information over the D-channel may be reduced, resulting in a higher bandwidth for applications.

Advantageously, the number of protocols used to transmit the information over the D-channel may be reduced, resulting in a higher bandwidth for applications. The bandwidth of the D-channel can be dynamically throttled by an access server. Such throttling can be used to prevent the access server, or the packet switch in the central office switch that is serving the ISDN line, from being flooded. The central office switch supporting the ISDN line may be supplemented to support frame relay over the D-channel, which can provide performance improvement. The frame relay packets are automatically routed to the access server. Packets may also be limited to being sent only over the D-channel.

    摘要: A method of and system for presenting enriched video viewing analytics is presented. A method of presenting enriched statistical and analytical information includes receiving a catalog of a plurality of content items. Each content item has associated metacontent characterizing the content item. The method also includes receiving and storing operations of a user for interacting with one or more of the content items. The method further includes determining use and/or viewing statistics for, for example, the content items, metacontent associated with the content items, the numbers and types of devices viewing the content items, subscriber information, household information, and/or viewer demographic information for past and present time periods. The method also, optionally, includes estimating the likelihood of future user interaction operations.
