摘要： Routing apparatus for a telecommunication system includes a telecommunications user apparatus arranged to generate a request for a telecommunications delivery service, to receive a plurality of telecommunications delivery service offers and to select one of them. The system also intends a plurality of telecommunication service supply apparatuses each arranged to receive one of the request to generate an offer signal specifying a proposed delivery service and to receive an acceptance signal indicating acceptance thereof and, on receipt thereof, to generate a service provision invitation. The system further provides a plurality of resource supplier apparatuses each representing a communications resource arranged to communicate with each of said service supply apparatuses. The resource supplier apparatus is arranged to receive an invitation to determine whether the telecommunications resource they represent would contribute to the provision of the corresponding service; and, if so, to signal this to the service supply apparatus. The service supply apparatus is arranged, on the basis of signals from the resource supplier apparatus to select the route subsequent to the offer of the service.

摘要： A method of selecting information sources from which information is provided to users via a telecommunications system, the method comprising: tracking the location of a user in the system by receipt of tracking information for the user; accessing location data indicating localities in which information from the respective sources is deemed to be relevant; generating a shortlist of information sources for the user on the basis of the tracking information and the location data; and transmitting the shortlist to a terminal associated with the user so as to allow the user to select an information source of interest and thereby to access information from the source.

摘要： A method of storing and/or retrieving location-based information comprises: storing, in a distributed network of data storage devices accessible simultaneously from a plurality of remote user terminals, data defining a plurality of first localities in relation to which information storage is accessible, and selecting ones of the first localities to represent second localities for which information is to be stored and/or retrieved such that i) the first and second localities bear a predetermined locational relationship, and ii) the first and second localities bear a predetermined relationship in size.
