Appl. No.:

09/442161

Inventors:

John D. Alexander - Plano TX
Kenneth P. Pruski - Plano TX
Michael H. Mcclung - Alexandria VA

Assignee:

Cisco Technology, Inc. - San Jose CA

International Classification:

H04L 1266

US Classification:

370352, 370401, 379 9301, 37921102, 37922101, 455445

Abstract:

A communication system includes a communication network, and an originating telephony device, a target telephony device, and a call manager coupled to the communication network. The call manager signals the target telephony device to indicate an incoming call from the originating telephony device. The call manager includes an alternate number list that identifies at least one alternate telephony device to be signaled in response to an incoming call directed to the target telephony device. The call manager additionally includes one or more mapping tables associating a network address with each identified alternate telephony device.

US Classification:

370408

Abstract:

Various aspects of an interactive multimedia system and associated methods. In general, the multimedia system employs central and peripheral hubs that function to provide services to a plurality of clients of a call manager server, or manager subsystem. The hubs and subsystem cooperate to serve requests originating in the plurality of clients. The client-server-client architecture allows for distributed processing and resource management. Redundant connections between the various network subsystems and hubs provide survivability. Each subsystem or hub is provided with the ability to initialize or recover from systemic errors, thereby distributing initialization and recovery. Certain of the distributed resources are capable of being managed from other subsystems, thereby allowing sharing of the resources. An open numbering plan allows efficient call treatment of dialed numbers. Call processing is sharable between multiple manager subsystems.

Appl. No.:

10/982636

Inventors:

Henry Chen - Plano TX, US

Assignee:

Cisco Technology, Inc. - San Jose CA

International Classification:

H04M 3/42

US Classification:

37920102, 379 9305, 37920112, 37920201, 37920702, 37920706, 37920707

Abstract:

A method for providing telephony features at an endpoint includes accessing a service framework at an endpoint. The service framework is operable to provide one or more telephony features. Feature logic associated with a first telephony feature is accessed. The feature logic specifies a plurality of actions for implementing the first telephony feature. The first telephony feature is registered to receive an intercept upon the occurrence of an event. The occurrence of the event for which the first telephony feature is registered is identified. The event initiates a transition from a first state to a second state. The feature logic associated with the first telephony feature is loaded to provide the first telephony feature.

International Classification:

H04M 3/42

US Classification:

37920112, 37920102

Abstract:

According to one embodiment, a method for creating telephony features for an endpoint includes receiving a plurality of instructions defining a graphical representation of an implementation of one or more telephony features for an endpoint. The graphical representation includes a plurality of graphical elements representing a state process of the one or more telephony features. The graphical representation is generated in accordance with the plurality of instructions. A plurality of text commands corresponding to the graphical elements are determined. The text commands specify a plurality of actions of the state process. The graphical representation is converted into customized feature logic that includes the plurality of text commands. The text commands provide the one or more telephony features for the endpoint.
