US Patent:
6430275, Aug 6, 2002
Filed:
Jul 28, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/362554
Inventors:
Eric A. Voit - Baltimore MD
Edward E. Balkovich - Potomac MD
William D. Goodman - Collegeville PA
Jayant G. Gadre - Oakton VA
Patrick E. White - Vienna VA
David E. Young - Silver Spring MD
Assignee:
Bell Atlantic Services Network, Inc. - Arlington VA
International Classification:
H04M 1500
US Classification:
37911417, 3791142, 37911403
Abstract:
An internetwork (such as the Internet) telephony system and method incorporating architecture and methodology which facilitates a high degree of scalability. The scalability provides improvement dealing with usage recording, usage pricing, billing account management, and fraud control. The scalability is achieved primarily by bundling of usage recording, pricing, authorization and billing practices in one logical database object which may be physically distributed. A predefined set of network elements are provided access to the database object to obtain authorization for a call along with limitations on the maximum cost or duration of the call for the particular account involved. The database object records usage statistics relating to the completed call, including pricing, and this data is available for virtually immediate billing. The database object provides to customers on a virtual real time basis the customers usage statistics, including statistics for a call in progress. The operation proceeds in the following manner.

Reverse Billing Of Internet Telephone Calls

US Patent:
6636504, Oct 21, 2003
Filed:
Mar 18, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/271450
Inventors:
Raymond F. Albers - Vienna VA
Edward F. Balkovich - Potomac MD
David Young - Silver Spring MD
Assignee:
Verizon Services Corp. - Arlington VA
International Classification:
H04J 1500
US Classification:
370352, 370401
Abstract:
In recent years, the world-wide packet data network, commonly known as the Internet, has grown exponentially. The data network now reaches virtually all businesses, most schools and an increasing number of homes. To provide an alternative to all or portions of the carrier-based telephone network, a number of companies have developed equipment and software that enable voice telephone-like communications via the Internet. Severs are now coming on line, which enable calls over the Internet to go off-net to end user stations still coupled to the local telephone network. A number of situations arise where a telephone service subscriber wants to allow callers to call the subscribers equipment and have part or all of the communication charges billed to and paid by the subscriber. The invention enables such billing to the called party, for calls routed partially or entirely via the Internet. In one example, a caller with a multimedia PC and Internet access uses the subscribers Internet address plus the subscribers telephone number.

International Classification:
H04L 1266
US Classification:
370352, 370351, 370353, 370354, 370355
Abstract:
A communication system providing telephony communication across combined circuit switched and packet switched networks, such as a telephone network and the Internet, which are connectable to terminals, such as telephones and computers, for selective communication therebetween. The communication system includes an authorization and account control object in the packet switched network, multiple gateways between the circuit switched and packet switched networks providing controlled connectivity between those networks, and an information retrieval object in the packet switched network, wherein the authorization and account control object maintains a substantially real time record of user accounts and usage, and the information and retrieval object provides substantially real time retrieval of selected information from the authorization and account control object. The retrieval object provides on demand to terminals which provide authentication for access to an identified account information regarding that account. The information regarding the account is substantially real time information including information with respect to communications in progress which are chargeable to the account which has been authenticated.

US Patent:
61576360, Dec 5, 2000
Filed:
Sep 16, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/931268
Inventors:
Eric A. Voit - Baltimore MD
Edward E. Balkovich - Potomac MD
Robert D. Farris - Sterling VA
William D. Goodman - Collegeville PA
Jayant G. Gadre - Oakton VA
Patrick E. White - Vienna VA
David E. Young - Silver Spring MD
Assignee:
Bell Atlantic Network Services, Inc. - Arlington VA
International Classification:
H04L 1266
US Classification:
370353
Abstract:
A number of gateway objects interconnect circuit switched and packet switched networks, such as the telephone network and the Internet, for example to enable telephony communication across the combined networks. A directory object coupled to the packet network provides address translation capability, and the directory object polls or communicates with the gateways to provide an intelligent selection of one of the gateway objects, typically for egress to the telephone network. The system also includes an authorization control object. After gateway selection, a calling terminal attempts communication through the gateway object. The gateway object then queries the authorization control object, which instructs the gateway object to proceed only if the requested communication between the calling terminal and the destination terminal is authorized.

US Patent:
62890107, Sep 11, 2001
Filed:
Jan 27, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/014286
Inventors:
Eric A. Voit - Baltimore MD

International Classification:
H04L 1266
H04M 1100
H04M 1500
US Classification:
370352
Abstract:
A communication system providing telephony communication across combined circuit switched and packet switched networks, such as a telephone network and the Internet, which are connectable to terminals, such as telephones and computers, for selective communication therebetween. The communication system provides an architecture and methodology for implementing initiation of establishment of a communication path between called and called terminals from a telephone terminal. The architecture and methodology facilitates communication across carriers or service providers, settlements between carriers and service providers, usage accounting across carriers and service providers, and usage allocation among carriers or service providers. Upon a terminal requesting connection to a gateway to establish a communication path between that terminal and a designated destination terminal, there occurs within the circuit switched network and a gateway to the packet network a transfer of an information package which identifies the calling station, the called station, and the identity of the responsible origination carrier or service provider. An authentication database of this carrier is accessed and authorization of the requested communication is secured.

Abstract:
A communication system providing telephony communication across combined circuit switched and packet switched networks, such as a telephone network and the Internet, which are connectable to terminals, such as telephones and computers, for selective communication therebetween. The communication system includes a directory object in the packet switched network, multiple gateways between the circuit switched and packet switched networks providing controlled connectivity between those networks, and an interface between the directory object and the gateways. The directory object is preferably provided in hierarchical architecture as a unitary logical object having distributed instances. In addition to the customary address translation capability the directory object polls or communicates with the gateways through the additional interface and provides an intelligent routing function. The directory object is of an enhanced type with access to a storage of customer routing and handling selections.
