Abstract

The present invention provides systems and methods employing a conferencing system for facilitating enhanced communication between users. In certain embodiments, the conferencing system comprises a communication interface configured to, during a conference session, provide a virtual and/or augmented conference between multiple users having access to a multi-channel, multi-access, always-on, and non-blocking communication. In particular embodiments, the communication interface is in communication with at least one additional component select from: a video component, a data component (e.g., that provides non-audio data to one or more of said users), an audio/video ambience component, and a whiteboard component.

Abstract

The present disclosure is directed towards a semi-global mute system and method. In one example, a method for muting communication devices includes receiving a message indicating the semi-global mute switch has been activated. The method further includes upon receiving the message: preventing a co-located communication device from receiving the audio signals transmitted from the first audio communication device, permitting the first audio communication device to transmit signals to the remote communication device, and permitting the first audio communication device and the co-located communication device to receive audio signals transmitted from the remote communication device.

Abstract

Communications system used for trading communications that interfaces with a transcription system to enable a service of transcribing trader communications. During an audio call, a stream of audio signals transmitted by a communications device via a user-selected communications line are received together with metadata from the communications device. The audio signals and metadata can be provided during the audio call and via an API gateway to a transcription system in one or more data formats that enable the transcription system to transcribe the stream of audio signals into text and tag the text with the metadata.

Abstract

Methods, systems, and computer program products are provided for enhancing and synchronizing Media Server Markup Language MSML tone generation in order to control and/or invoke media features as part of application interactions for example conferences. A tone generation element includes an ID attribute, an iterate attribute, a barge attribute, a clear attribute, and an override attribute to enhance tone generation. A tone child element of the tone generation element specifies a tone, and a silence child element of the tone generation element specifies a silence interval. The silence child element includes a periods per minute attribute for synchronizing tones. Invoking the tone generation element enables tone generation.

Subscription notifications are provided by receiving a request from a subscriber to register a subscription, the request identifying (i) a topic, (ii) a protocol corresponding to a first adaptor and supported by the subscriber, and (iii) a parameter associated with the protocol. The request is validated based on the parameter, and subscription data is stored. The subscription data is organized as a hierarchical data structure including a plurality of topics and sub-topics, each of the topics and sub-topics being associated with one or more subscribers and adaptors. A message to be published for a topic is received from a publisher. A plurality of adaptors, which correspond to a plurality of protocols, respectively, to be used for the topic is identified in the subscription data. A plurality of notifications corresponding to the message is published by the plurality of adaptors using the plurality of protocols, respectively.

Abstract

Broadcasting data streams to telephony devices via talk paths, wherein audio data streams are muted based on connection states of each of the plurality of talk paths. Each telephony device sends an input audio data stream to a media server via a respective talk path. The media server combines input audio data streams received from the telephony devices to generate output audio data streams for sending to the telephony devices via the respective talk paths. For each telephony device, a determination is made as to whether to mute the respective output audio data stream. The determination is based on connection states of each of the talk paths.

Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer program products are provided for manual ring-down communication using Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). A first SIP user agent transmits a message to a second SIP user agent over an Internet Protocol (IP) network to establish a SIP session. The first SIP user agent determines that a signal key associated with a first communication device has been selected and transmits, to the second SIP user agent over the IP network, a start event message to cause a second communication device to activate an alert. The first SIP user agent determines that the signal key has been released and transmits over the IP network an end event message to deactivate the alert. The first SIP user agent transmits, to the second SIP user agent over the IP network, one or more subsequent INVITE messages at a predetermined repetition rate to refresh the SIP session.
