Key Characteristics & Benefits
Two patent portfolios disclose an improved solution for handling video and voice calls and improved techniques for network efficiency and security using improved protocols:
The first portfolio discloses a technique for monitoring the multiple channels provided by a digital line (e.g., ISDN).
- When an incoming call is received while channels are in use, the user is asked to select a priority choice between the incoming and the already established call.
- If the established call is selected, the incoming call is forwarded to a messaging system.
- If the incoming call is the priority choice, then a channel is made available to receive this call.
- Thus, the interface of video and voice calls is improved.
The second portfolio discloses techniques for enhanced network security and efficiency:
- Techniques for security of data transmission in the network.
- Data to be transmitted is split into smaller packets (e.g., separate characters) and sent to a destination through various routes to prevent interception.
- Further, the packets are numbered and sent in a pseudo-random sequence to prevent a third party from assembling the data even if a large percentage of data packets is intercepted.
- Techniques for improving data transfer efficiency in a network.
- An aggregate packet is built from smaller packets for data transmission.
- The original or small packets are transmitted in case the media or port is available before complete construction of the aggregate packet. Otherwise, the aggregate packet is sent.
- Data transfer efficiency is improved.
Techniques for using a network access protocol (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD)) for allowing isochronous data flow in a network.
- Periodic time slots can be reserved for isochronous transmission of data in a network.
- When non-isochronous transmissions are desired, the transmission is performed by using CSMA/CD protocols and taking into account the already reserved time slots.
