A relay apparatus capable of reducing a load on a private branch exchange when an incoming call is made to an extension representative number is provided. A relay apparatus (1) includes a reception unit (2), a generation unit (4), and a transmission unit (6). The reception unit (2) receives, from the private branch exchange, incoming call notification information indicating an incoming call notification, which is a notification indicating that the incoming call is made to the extension representative number. The generation unit (4) generates a push notification request corresponding to the incoming call notification for each of a plurality of mobile terminals belonging to the group of the extension representative number based on the incoming call notification information. The transmission unit (6) performs processing for transmitting the push notification request to the corresponding mobile terminal.

Methods, devices, and systems related to performing an operation responsive to a voice call are described. In an example, a method can include storing data representing a number of contact lists on a memory of a first computing device, wherein the data representing the number of contact lists includes data representing credentials of a number of contacts on the number of contact lists, receiving data representing a voice call and credentials of a second computing device at the first computing device, comparing the data representing the credentials of the second computing device with the data representing the credentials of the number of contacts on the number of contact lists to determine which contact list the second computing device is included in, and performing an operation at the first computing device at least partially based on which contact list the second computing device is included in.

A system for customizing time limits for inmate communications in a correctional facility is disclosed. The system includes a profile subsystem that stores an inmate profile of the inmate and a communication processing subsystem comprising one or more processors configured to receive data of an inmate communication of an inmate, identify a type of communication device of the inmate and a call recipient of the inmate communication based on the data of the inmate communication, retrieve the inmate profile of the inmate form the profile subsystem, identify a plurality of behaviors of the inmate based on the inmate profile, determine a time limit based on at least one of the type of communication device, the call recipient of the inmate communication, and the plurality of behaviors of the inmate, and assign the time limit to the inmate communication of the inmate.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for indicating callers for incoming voice calls to a shared device among multiple users. The methods, systems, and apparatus include actions receiving an incoming voice call, determining a calling number and a called number from the incoming voice call, identifying a user account that corresponds to the called number, determining a contact name for the calling number based on contact entries for the user account, and providing the audible contact name for output to the device speaker.

A method for authentication, a user terminal and an authentication server for executing the same are disclosed. An authentication server according to an embodiment disclosed includes a number receiver that receives a number of a user terminal from a callee who has received a call originated from the user terminal, a device authenticator that determines whether to generate an authentication key based on the number of the user terminal received from the callee and a caller number received from the user terminal, and generates the authentication key when it is determined to generate the authentication key, and an authentication key transmitter that transmits the authentication key to the user terminal.

Provided are systems, methods, and apparatuses initiating outbound communications. The system may include at least one processor of a telecommunications device comprising a display and a communication application, the at least one processor programmed or configured to: receive, with the communication application, a communication request comprising a number, the communication request initiated by a user of the telecommunications device, determine whether to automatically initiate a communication to the number based on recipient data associated with the number, in response to determining to not automatically initiate the communication to the number, prompt the user, on the display of the telecommunications device, with a selectable option configured to initiate the communication to the number upon selection, and in response to determining to automatically initiate the communication to the number, automatically initiate the communication to the number upon selection.

A system includes a client device including a processor, a telephony radio that supports telephony communications, and a data radio that supports data communications. The client device conducts, via the telephony radio, a call with a telephony service. Further the client device identifies a context of the call, identifies a subset of stored private data associated with the context of the call; and in parallel with the call, provides the subset of the stored private data, via a data radio, to a data service.

Systems and methods for setting up a telephony communication include an operating system of a user telephony device diverting a call setup request made via a native dialer of the user telephony device to a telephony software application on the user telephony device. The telephony software application then sets up the requested telephony communication using a telephony communication application programming interface (API). The telephony communication may be setup in a way that results in the called party not receiving information about the calling party or the calling party's telephone number.

A mobile application gateway for connecting devices on a cellular network with individual networks, such as enterprise voice and data networks and/or residential networks. The effects of the present invention are far reaching in terms of transferring effective call control from the cellular network into the control of the individual network such as the enterprise, and enabling new business models for the purchase of cellular service from a public cellular carrier by an enterprise. The invention may consist of a primarily of core network and services components based on the IMS network architecture, and is backward compatible to support legacy systems in place in current telecom and data networks.
