Systems, methods, and media for setting up a media content streaming device are provided. In some implementations, the systems comprise: a first communication interface that is configured to provide a media output to a media content presentation device; a second communication interface that is configured to transfer data; and a hardware processor that is configured to: retrieve a setup application in response to detecting a connection between the media content streaming device and a user device via the second communication interface; cause the setup application to be launched on the user device; receive, from the user device, information relating to setting up the media content streaming device; set up the media content streaming device based on the received information relating to setting up the media content streaming device; and prompt a user to connect the media content streaming device to the media content presentation device via the second communication interface.

A method and system enables communications with a call center via SMS/MMS and provides an additional communications channel to communicate with the call center in addition to voice, Internet email/IM chat and fax. The call center obtains location information and images from a customer using SMS messages and web pages via a messaging hub.

Disclosed herein are methods and apparatus for a key system module which enables a presentable key system on devices provisioned with softphone and embedded voice applications. A method includes provisioning a key system module for operation with the softphone to enable the key system, establishing, by the softphone application using a service provider Internet Protocol (IP) telephony server, a non-shared line association with the key system, establishing, by the softphone application using the service provider IP telephony server, associations with key lines in the key system, receiving, from the service provider IP telephony server, key line statuses, generating, by the key system module, a key line user interface based on at least the statuses of the key lines, and presenting, by the softphone application and the key system module on a device associated with the softphone client, the key line user interface with the key lines in the key system.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, providing a request associated with a call session to a server, wherein the request includes capability information associated with user equipment. A codec is identified according to the capability information to obtain an identified codec, which facilitates media service to the user equipment. The media service is accessed from a media resource function, which in turn, is accessed by the server responsive to the identified codec. An operable resource identifier is identified responsive to a search of a codec table, wherein the server accesses the operable resource identifier associated with the media resource function from a domain name server responsive to the resource identifier not being available at the codec table. Other embodiments are disclosed.

A network service system, a computer storage medium for communication, and a network service method are provided. The system includes: a communication module and a data processor, the data processor including a storage module, the storage module storing an identification code; and the communication module is configured to receive a communication request from a user terminal, the communication request including the identification code; and the communication module is further configured to establish a communication connection to a target terminal according to the identification code set by the network service system and a target code, the target code enabling the target terminal to communicate with the user terminal in real time by using an Internet Protocol (IP) network.

A number management unit (11) of a number management system (1) generates a transaction using number portability information including a telephone number and encrypted connection destination information, newly generates a block using multiple transactions, approves the generated block, and stores the block in a number database (13) as a blockchain. A number resolution unit (12) searches transactions in the blockchain using a telephone number that is a query target as a key, extracts and decrypts the encrypted connection destination information corresponding to the query telephone number, and sends the connection destination information corresponding to the query telephone number as a response.

A number management unit (11) of a number management system (1) generates a transaction to be managed in a blockchain based on number portability information obtained by receiving a number update request, generates a block obtained by aggregating multiple transactions, approves a suggested block by confirming normality of the block, and stores the block by connecting the block to a blockchain in a number database (13). If a reset of the block in the number database (13) is suggested, the number management unit (11) transmits, to multiple number management apparatuses (10), a reset suggestion block including, as a transaction, a reset suggestion, which is information indicating a suggestion for a reset, and if the reset suggestion block is approved, the number management unit (11) discards the blockchain in the number database (13).
