A VoIP communication service using communication tokens, such as QR codes, to identify the receivers can provide callers with the ability to communicate with the receivers using VoIP technology, without the need to pre-registering with the VoIP service provider that hosts the communication. The tokens can be customized by having a profile, which can include conditions imposed by the receivers on the callers. The tokens can be used in a call center to provide VoIP communication services.

A system and method for sending push notifications over different channels for different types of traffic is disclosed. The method includes establishing a first communication channel with a computing device, establishing a second communication channel with the computing device, associating a first category with the first communication channel, the first category having a first set of message types, associating a second category with the second communication channel, the second category having a second set of message types, receiving a message, determining a category for the message from the first category and the second category, and sending the message to the computing device using a communication channel associated with the determined category.

.[.Anonymous voice communication between a first station and a second station is fascilitated by providing an interface that allows input of a transaction specification from at least one of the first and second stations. A reference code associated with the transaction is generated, there being a defined relationship between the reference code and the address of the second station for voice communication. The reference code is supplied to the first station, and a voice communication request and the reference code are recieved from the first station. The reference code is used to recover said address and a channel for voice communication is opened between said first and second stations. Voice communication can thereby be established between the first and second stations without providing the address of the second station to the first station. .]. .Iadd.An Internet based service system may include one or more servers, software, or storage units for use in data mining user information. The disclosed service may facilitate users posting information, connecting to other users, and making transactions over the Internet. Data from each transaction submitted through the service are data mined. The collected data may include personal information, private data, interest, intellectual property, and the like. For increasing transactions, the service system may create a proposed transaction specification specifying a transaction between a first party and a second party based, at least in part, on data mining user information. Feed a reference code associated with a second party to a first party, and receive a communication request from the first party employing the reference code. The reference code may include tagged photo, advertisement etc. The service may also provide private user information to other parties. .Iaddend.

A method for direct video broadcasting to video host, via a mobile device, including allowing the video host to initiate an audio communication with a user, via the user's mobile device; allowing the user, via the mobile device, to accept the initiated audio communication from the video host; providing, in response to the user accepting the initiated audio communication, audio communication between the user and the video host; and allowing, in response to the user accepting the initiated audio communication, the user to capture video, via the mobile device, and upload or stream the captured video to the video host, wherein the video host is enabled to engage in audio communications with the user, as the captured video is being captured, and wherein the audio communication is separate from the audio associated with any video being captured.

A digitmap configuration method, device and system are described. The method includes: detecting, by a session initiation protocol (SIP) server, a configuration condition; and when the configuration condition is satisfied, issuing, by the SIP server, a latest digitmap using a MESSAGE to an SIP terminal. The method, device and system realize the flexible configuration conducted on a digitmap of an SIP terminal, and solve the problem that the related SIP terminal digitmap configuration manner lacks flexibility.

A method includes receiving a request to initiate an emergency call, directing, the mobile device to initiate the emergency call using a cellular network, receiving a network not available indication that the emergency call cannot be completed using the cellular network, selecting location information of the mobile device and requesting the emergency call be initiated by a VoIP client on the mobile device using the location information obtained from the selecting step.

The present invention relates to systems and methods for network labeling in order to enhance real time data transfers. A network for a real time data transfer is identified and predictive models for network performance are compared against to determine if the network is suitable for the data transfer. If so, then the real time data transfer may be completed as expected. However, if the network is predicted to be unsuitable for transmission an alternate means for connection may be suggested. The alternate suggestion may include delaying the data transfer until the network is expected to be in better conditions, connecting to another access point in the network, or switching to another network entirely. During the data transfer, the quality of the network is monitored in order to update the predictive models for the network's quality. Identifiers for the network may be utilized to keep track of the networks. Network signal strength, signal pollution and time may also be tracked in order to identify patterns in the network's performance.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a real-time voice transmission method and an associated mobile terminal. The method includes: starting collecting voice signal in response to a first user instruction; while collecting the voice signal: encoding and compressing the collected voice signal into voice data; identifying the voice data as a voice data segment and adding a transmission sequence identifier to the voice data segment when the length of voice data reaches a preset data length; generating and displaying a first visual indicator after sending the voice data segment to a voice server; stopping collecting the voice signal in response to a second user instruction; identifying remaining voice data as a last voice data segment and adding a last transmission sequence identifier to the last voice data segment; and generating and displaying a second visual indicator after sending the last voice data segment to the voice server.

A communications device provides a biometric reader to authenticate users onto the communications device based on a single biometric input. The communications device maintains a local copy of the strong authentication credentials, such as a user identification and password, and the biometrics which were previously input by users of the communications device. Then, rather than requiring re-entry of the strong authentication credentials to authenticate (or re-authenticate) these users onto the communications device, the communications device is able to authenticate the users based on the input of the appropriate biometric. When a biometric input is received, the communications device identifies the locally stored strong authentication credentials that is associated with the input biometric, and uses the locally stored strong authentication credentials to authenticate the user.

A method and system for wireless communication between a public transport vehicle and a remote server through at least one external mobile network. At least one router is provided in the public transport vehicle for receiving and transmitting wireless data to and from a stationary communication server outside the public transport vehicle and to and from at least one client onboard the public transport vehicle, wherein router includes a captive portal in order to provide an authentication process for the client(s). The router determines if a stream of wireless data packets received by said router corresponds to at least one of a VoIP stream and a VoWIFI stream. The router then forwards, if it has been determined that the stream of wireless data packets corresponds to at least one of a VoIP stream and a VoWIFI stream.
