20110314535 | NULL-PACKET TRANSMISSION FROM INSIDE A FIREWALL TO OPEN A COMMUNICATION WINDOW FOR AN OUTSIDE TRANSMITTER - A high-bandwidth direct communication path between two clients is used for voice or video calls over the Internet. An opening or a window in a firewall is made for the direct path by sending a null packet out from inside the firewall. The null packet can be a UDP packet directed to a UDP port of the other client. Initially, each client makes a TCP connection to port | 12-22-2011 |

20100142685 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING EXPANDED TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICE - The present invention relates to telephone call processing. In one embodiment, a call processing system receives from a caller a first call for a user, the first call including call signaling information. The call processing system determines whether the call signaling information includes caller identification information and whether the call signaling information indicates that the caller identification information is restricted. If the caller identification information is restricted, the call processing system instructs the caller to take a first action so that the caller identification information can be provided to the user. The call processing system determines whether the caller has performed the first action during the first call, and if the caller has performed the first action during the first call, the call processing system provides at least a portion of the caller identification information to the user. | 06-10-2010 |

20110007885 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR FAX ROUTING - In an illustrative embodiment, methods and systems are provided for processing facsimiles. A call processing system receives a first message transmitted from a first carrier system regarding a facsimile call to a phone address. The first message includes an identifier associated with the user. The identifier is used to determine if the user is authorized to receive call processing system services. If the user is authorized, a second message is transmitted to the first carrier system, the second message indicating that the first carrier system is to connect the call to the call processing system. The call processing system is connected to the call. A facsimile is received via the call at the call processing system. Information regarding the facsimile call is provided over a network, wherein some or all of the information is displayed in a call log visually accessible by the user. | 01-13-2011 |

20110026701 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING EXPANDED TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICE - The present invention provides flexible call processing. For example, a call processor system can receive an inbound call intended for a called party and place an outbound call to the called party. The call processing system can provide the called party with a call transfer option. | 02-03-2011 |
20110096369 | FACSIMILE TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM AND METHOD - A fax processing system handles faxes that are originally destined for a recipient's phone number. The fax processing system communicates with the fax recipient via a data communications network (for example, the Internet) and can provide more sophisticated fax handling capabilities than conventional fax machines. | 04-28-2011 |
20110191441 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR TRANSFERRING VOICE MESSAGES AND FAXES OVER A NETWORK - Processes and systems for transferring communication messages, such as fax and voice messages, between a computer and a terminal are disclosed. For example, a fax message intended for a user is received at a call processing system. A voice message intended for the user is received at the call processing system. An initial portion of the fax message and the voice message are transferred to a user terminal. The user can view the initial portion of the fax message and listed in the initial portion of the voice message using the user terminal. At least a second portion of the fax message is downloaded to the user terminal in a trickle mode, and at least a second portion of the voice message is downloaded to the user terminal in a trickle mode. | 08-04-2011 |
20120087484 | FACSIMILE TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM AND METHOD - A fax processing system handles faxes that are originally destined for a recipient's phone number. The fax processing system communicates with the fax recipient via a data communications network (for example, the Internet) and can provide more sophisticated fax handling capabilities than conventional fax machines. | 04-12-2012 |
20130195264 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING EXPANDED TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICE - The present invention provides flexible call processing. For example, a call processor system can receive an inbound call intended for a called party and place an outbound call to the called party. The call processing system can provide the called party with a call transfer option. | 08-01-2013 |
20140206364 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR CALL PROCESSING IN A WIRELINE AND WIRELESS NETWORK - Methods and systems are described for routing call in a wireless network environment. In one embodiment, a phone address is assigned to a subscriber and/or a subscriber's mobile telecommunications device. A call directed to the phone address is routed to a call processing system. An outbound call from the call processing system is placed to a wireless communication service provider so as to cause, at least in part, the wireless communication service provider to route the outbound call to the subscriber's mobile telecommunications device, wherein the call processing system configures call signaling parameters associated with the outbound call so that the outbound call appears to be to a phone number ported to the wireless communication service provider, and wherein the phone number has not been ported to the wireless communication service provider. The outbound call is bridged with the inbound call. | 07-24-2014 |

20110030538 | INTEGRATED AIRPORT DOMAIN AWARENESS RESPONSE SYSTEM, SYSTEM FOR GROUND-BASED TRANSPORTABLE DEFENSE OF AIRPORTS AGAINST MANPADS, AND METHODS - Embodiments of an apparatus and method for defending a physical zone from airborne and ground-based threats are disclosed. In the various embodiments, an apparatus includes a detection component configured to detect and track a ground-based or airborne threat proximate to the physical zone, an integration component to receive data from the detection component and process the data to determine a threat assessment. A defensive component receives the determined threat assessment and disables the ground-based and airborne threat based upon the determined threat assessment. A method includes detecting an object proximate to the physical zone to be protected, identifying the object as a hostile threat, determining at least one of a path and a point-of-origin for the object, and actuating a defensive system in response to the hostile threat. | 02-10-2011 |
