Purpose: The disclosure relates generally to communication systems, and more particularly to a method and system enabling a communication device to remotely execute an application. Conventional systems may require interaction with a remote input/output device to collect information from a user, where the input/output device provides a communication path between the user and a voice processing system (VPS) that responds to audio input such as dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF) or voice and returns audio output.
Plain-language scope (from the supplied text): A communication system enabling communication devices to remotely execute applications comprises communication devices coupled to a first communication link that includes a data connection. At least one device communicates a request to establish a communication session over that link; in one arrangement it is a thin-client device providing processing services to an application executed substantially remotely. Application servers coupled to the first link receive the request. Repositories coupled to the servers, holding applications in a database, communicate an identified application over a second communication link to the server. The server executes the identified application remote from the communication device and establishes the communication session, and communicates a request for processing service to the communication device.

What the excerpt does not establish: The excerpt is expressly partial and omits claim text. It therefore does not establish the number, wording, or scope of the claims; the full specification; the complete list of figures; the identity or content of any prior art; or any legal conclusion as to validity, enforceability, or claim coverage.

Proceedings on file (0)
All PTAB activity →AIA trial proceedings (IPR / PGR / CBM) filed at the USPTO Patent Trial and Appeal Board against this patent. Sourced from the USPTO Open Data Portal and refreshed every six hours; each proceeding number deep-links to the PTAB E2E docket.
No PTAB proceedings on file. This patent has not been challenged via IPR, PGR, or CBM. The absence is itself a signal — well-asserted patents eventually attract IPRs. The LLM analysis below may surface filings the ODP feed hasn’t indexed yet.
PTAB challenges
AIA trial proceedings at the USPTO Patent Trial and Appeal Board — IPR, PGR, and CBM. Petitioners, judge panels, claim-level invalidation outcomes from Final Written Decisions, and Federal Circuit appeals. The single most important defensive datapoint after litigation history.
Assignment history
Inventors, original assignee, and the chain of ownership recorded with the USPTO — including the correspondent attorney who recorded each assignment, since shell-LLC chains often share one repeat-player attorney even when the entity names look unrelated. Surfaces NPE / patent-troll patterns: shell-entity transfers, known asserters in the chain, repeat correspondent fingerprints, pre-litigation assignments, and bankruptcy fire-sales.
Prior art
Earlier patents, publications, and products that may anticipate or render the claims unpatentable.
Obviousness
Combinations of prior art that suggest the claimed invention would have been obvious under 35 U.S.C. § 103.
Extensions
Patent term adjustments, term extensions, continuations, divisionals, family members, and expiration dates.
Derivative works
Defensive disclosure: derivative variations of each claim designed to render future incremental improvements obvious or non-novel.
