Establishing a video conference during a phone call

Some embodiments provide a method for initiating a video conference using a first mobile device. The method presents, during an audio call through a wireless communication network with a second device, a selectable user-interface (UI) item on the first mobile device for switching from the audio call to the video conference. The method receives a selection of the selectable UI item. The method initiates the video conference without terminating the audio call. The method terminates the audio call before allowing the first and second devices to present audio and video data exchanged through the video conference.

Intelligently delivering a telephone call with identity attributes

Telephone calls can be intelligently delivered with identity attributes as described herein. In one example, a system can receives communication associated with a caller requesting to make a telephone call to a recipient, where the communication includes a recipient identifier associated with the recipient. The system can determine a terminating telecommunication service provider (TTSP) to which the telephone number is assigned. The system can then determine identification options available at the TTSP, where each identification option can be configured to provide one or more identity attributes associated with the caller to the recipient. The system can select one or more of the identification options based on a predefined policy and modify the communication to include the one or more identity attributes associated with the one or more selected identification options, thereby producing a modified communication. The system can then transmit the modified communication along a call route to the TTSP.

System and method for limiting mobile device functionality in a geographic area

A method and system for limiting mobile device functionality when the mobile device is located in a pre-defined fixed geographic area. The mobile device may receive a local disabling signal from a disabling device, which, when detected by a Device Owner Application resident on the mobile device, limits the mobile device functionality. Alternatively, the system may use GPS based geofencing to determine that the mobile device is in a predefined geographic area, and then transmit instructions to the mobile device, where a Device Owner Application operates to restrict the mobile device functionality. Mobile device functionality may be limited by restricting the mobile device's ability to send and receive text messages, email messages and phone calls; restricting the mobile device's ability to respond to user input; restricting the mobile device's ability to utilize a web browser; and restricting the mobile device's web browser from accessing predetermined web sites.

Intelligently verifying telephone calls using authenticated identity information

Telephone calls can be automatically verified by a telecommunication system using identity information about the caller. For example, a telecommunication system can receive a communication associated with a caller requesting to make a telephone call to a recipient. The communication can include a reference to a security certificate. The telecommunication system can access the security certificate, the security certificate having a public key and a document identifier. The telecommunication system can retrieve identity information from a storage location using the document identifier. In response to verifying the identity information using the public key, the telecommunication system can flag the caller as verified.

Proximity-based control for VOIP client authorization

The present invention relates to telecommunications and specifically to methods and systems for enabling Internet-based telephone calls using Over-the-Top (OTT) communication services while ensuring compliance with jurisdictional regulatory requirements. Described herein are techniques for binding a non-mobile device, such as a laptop or tablet, to a mobile device capable of providing real-time location information. The binding is established through a local proximity network using short-range wireless communication protocols. The mobile device transmits its connectivity status and location data to either the non-mobile device or a cloud-based communication service, which then acts as a gatekeeper to permit or inhibit call initiation based on the received status information. This system ensures that calls made from the non-mobile device can be accurately located in real-time, facilitating compliance with regulations that mandate location verification for emergency services and lawful intercepts.
