A method of online advertising includes providing a template ad including a static portion, receiving a request for structured information format data, determining structured information format data based on selection criteria associated with the request, and providing the structured information format data to the template ad based on the determination. A method for advertising with structured information format data feeds including receiving a first request at a structured information format data server, sending structured information format data including an ad from the structured information format data server, the ad including a content aggregator identifier, and determining whether the content aggregator identifier is included in an ad request.

Method and system for providing network based target advertising and encapsulation

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.

Methods and apparatus for providing expanded telecommunications service

A serverless distributed file system manages the storage of files and directories using one or more directory groups. The directories may be managed using Byzantine-fault-tolerant groups, whereas files are managed without using Byzantine-fault-tolerant groups. Additionally, the file system may employ a hierarchical namespace to store files. Furthermore, the directory group may employ a plurality of locks to control access to objects (e.g., files and directories) in each directory.

Serverless distributed file system

A telecommunication system implements a method for providing a targeted on-line advertisement to a user accessing a content provider node of the system. The system further comprises an ad selection node and an user identification node. A user signal indicative of an information request is routed through the system to determine a geographic location of the user and/or a demographic profile of the geographic location. An advertiser corresponding to the geographic location and/or demographic profile is thereafter communicated to the user.

Method and system for providing network based target advertising

The present invention is directed to a communication assistance system comprised of a first database (18) having a plurality of listings where each of the listings has at least one contact name and a corresponding contact number. A telephony hardware (12) is provided, configured to couple a telephone device (6) of a user to the system. A past requested listing table is also provided for at least one of the users of the system, configured to store past requested listings obtained from the database, as requested by the user. When the user contacts the system with the telephone device, the system recognizes the user and forwards the past requested listing table to an operator terminal of the system.

Communication assistance system and method

A system and method are disclosed in which an initiating caller using a station connected to a data network receives advertisement information while waiting for a call to complete between the station and the receiving party. The station connects with a server that can access a database storing a plurality of advertisement information. The station includes a user interface, which allows the caller to interact with the station, and a flow controller, which monitors the bandwidth available to receive information from the server system.

System and method for providing on-line advertising and information

A method of managing Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) calls with an Internet Protocol Private Branch Exchange (IP PBX) is provided, including: receiving at an IP PBX device an incoming call directed to a target telephone number, said IP PBX device storing a contact list parameter including one or more rule fields, each rule field including a telephone number identifier and an associated target extension identifier; searching the contact list parameter to identify the telephone number identifier corresponding to the target telephone number; and routing the incoming call to one or more target extensions corresponding to the target extension identifier associated with the identified telephone number identifier

VoIP call routing

A method and system are disclosed in which an Internet subscriber can establish real-time voice conversations over the Internet. By performing a call negotiation scheme to identify and locate the other calling party, an Internet telephone can establish a voice communication channel over the Internet to a telephony or computer device.

Method and system for providing voice communication over data networks

An IP telephone which supports a voice conference call with a plurality of other IP telephones over a packet-switched network is disclosed. The IP telephone exchanges audio and signaling messages with the other IP devices during the conference call, and thereby allows three or more conference call participants to talk together over the packet-switched network. The IP telephone includes a memory, which stores a conferencing module and a channel establishment module, and a mixing module for mixing input signals received at the IP telephone to produce a combined signal output. When played back, the combined signal output to allows the user to hear what was said by the other conference call participants.

System and method for supporting conferencing capabilities over packet-switched networks

In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, at an IP PBX, a SIP INVITE request comprising a Request-URI field identifying a URI of the IP PBX and a header field identifying a target DID number. The method also includes identifying a URI corresponding to the target DID number and forwarding the SIP INVITE request with a Request-URI field identifying the URI corresponding to the target DID number.
