Voice-over-IP enabled chat

A network-based system and method for providing anonymous voice communications using the telephone network and data communications links under the direction of a Call Broker and associated network elements. A user (the call initiator) present in a text chat room session establishes a data connection to Call Broker and, after qualifying for access (e.g., using credit card information) and providing a callback number, receives voice session information and participant access codes for each desired participant in a voice call. The initiator causes session information and participant codes to be passed to one or more selected chat participants in the current text chat room. When a selected participant uses the received session information, and enters the received participant code and a callback number, the Call Broker in cooperation with a Network Adjunct Processor (NAP) completes voice links to the initiator and the selected participant(s). The need for each party to have a second subscriber line is advantageously avoided by having the Call Broker arrange to have one or more voice links completed through a VoIP link, and further reduces the need for second lines for participants by forwarding a Call Broker—placed call to a busy participant line to the participant's Internet Service Provider (ISP), which then sends a message to the participant announcing one or more options for receiving the incoming call, including receiving the incoming call through a VoIP link.

Privacy mode system and method for home network telephone

A system and method are provided for controlling communications privacy in a Home Network telephone system. The method comprises: using a gateway to send and receive calls on at least one external telephone line; supplying privacy and public mode bridging options; and, selectively excluding bridges between external telephone lines and a plurality of Home Network endpoints. In response to the privacy mode being selected, the gateway bridges a call between a first external telephone line and a first endpoint, and prevents bridges between the first external telephone line and other endpoints in the system. Alternately, when the public mode is selected, the gateway bridges a call between the first external telephone line and the first endpoint; and permits bridges between the first external telephone line and other endpoints in the system. That is, while the call is bridged to the first endpoint, a bridge is added between the first telephone line and the second endpoint. The privacy and public mode bridging options are selected with respect to nodes. A node can be an external telephone line or an endpoint. That is, a privacy or public mode of operation can be selected for a first external telephone line, whether calls are received or originated through the Home Network telephone system. Likewise, a privacy or public mode of operation can be selected for a particular endpoint, regardless of whether the endpoint receives or originates the call.

Apparatus and method for packet-based media communications

The performance of a voice conference using a packet-based conference bridge can be improved with a number of modifications. In one modification, the conference bridge receives speech indication signals from the individual packet-based terminals within the voice conference, these speech indication signals then being used by the conference bridge to select the talkers within the voice conference. This removes the need for speech detection techniques within the conference bridge, hence decreasing the required processing power and the latency within the conference bridge. In another modification, the conference bridge sends addressing control signals to the individual packet-based terminals selected as talkers, these addressing control signals directing the terminals selected as talkers to directly transmit their voice data packets to the other terminals within the voice conference. This direct transmission of voice data packets can reduce transcoding and latency within the network. These two modifications could further be combined, resulting in a conference bridge that receives speech indication signals, selects the talkers for the voice conference and outputs addressing control signal to the talkers. In this case, the advantages of the two modifications are gained as well as additional capacity advantages resulting from no voice signals actually traversing the conference bridge.

Dual network integration scheme

The present invention provides geographically fixed receiver functionality for subscriber information which specifies the subscriber's identity in a mobile telecommunications system. This is achieved in accordance with the present invention by associating the Subscriber Identification Information (SII) with a fixed geographical reference point rather than with a particular device. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention the access point lies outside the radio telecommunications system. In this embodiment, the control signals of the mobile system must be transmitted right up to the subscriber's premises. In a further preferred embodiment the access point lies in the radio telecommunications system. In the latter embodiment, the control signals of the mobile telecommunications system may be terminated in an access node which may be conveniently located in a wired base station. In this embodiment, the control signals of the mobile telecommunications system are not transmitted to the customer premises. Also, the voice coding typically used in mobile telecommunications systems may be terminated at the access node and not at the customer premises. In another embodiment of the invention, the functions of the access node of the previous embodiment is shared between an access base station and a responder on the customer's premises. The responder is capable of responding to certain inquiries initiated in the wireless network, e.g. to provide subscriber identity information or to provide the result of an encryption algorithm carried out on a random number supplied from the wireless network.

Location identification for IP telephony to support emergency services

A secondary directory telephone number (SDN) is assigned either to each voice over IP (VOIP) IP port utilized by subscribers or to each public safety access point (PSAP). The SDN, MAC address of the IP port accessed by a subscriber, and geographic location of the SDN or MAC address are stored in a database. This information is accessed by the PSAP based on SDN or MAC address to obtain the location of a VOIP subscriber to facilitate providing emergency services in response to a 911 call by a VOIP subscriber.
