Abstract: A caller ID based call routing feature. A processing system in the public switched telephone network (PSTN) receives first identifying information for identifying the source of a telephone call and associates additional information stored in a memory with the first identifying information. The additional information may then be transmitted to the subscriber via the Internet for display. Another feature is a branch calling feature where the subscriber may program a processing system within the PSTN to forward an incoming call to two or more end units (e.g., telephones) simultaneously. If the call at an end unit is answered, answer supervision signaling is transmitted back to the processing system which then terminates all other calls. The processing system then connects the calling party to the subscriber. The branch calling may be made for any combination of local, long distance, and cellular telephone numbers.

Abstract: A network node, method, and mobile terminal for providing circuit-switched (CS) voice calls to a mobile terminal operating in a packet-switched (PS)-only network. A control node such as an EPC node in an SAE/LTE PS-only network is modified to mimic the messaging functionality of a Serving GPRS Service Node (SGSN). The EPC node is connected to an MSC/VLR in a CS network through a Gs interface. The EPC node registers the terminal with the MSC/VLR and provides a VLR TMSI to the terminal. When the MSC/VLR receives an incoming CS voice call for the terminal, the MSC/VLR notifies the EPC node, which sends a paging message to the terminal. To set up the CS voice call, the terminal sends a paging response directly to the MSC/VLR.

Abstract translation: 基于呼叫者ID的呼叫路由功能。 公共交换电话网（PSTN）中的处理系统接收用于识别电话呼叫的源的第一识别信息，并将存储在存储器中的附加信息与第一识别信息相关联。 然后可以经由因特网将附加信息发送给用户进行显示。 另一个特征是分支呼叫功能，其中订户可以对PSTN内的处理系统进行编程，以将来话呼叫同时转发到两个或更多个终端单元（例如，电话）。 如果终端单元的呼叫被应答，应答监听信令被发送回处理系统，然后终止所有其他呼叫。 处理系统然后将呼叫方连接到用户。 分支呼叫可以用于本地，长途和蜂窝电话号码的任何组合。

Abstract: A telephone network access device switchable between a VOIP service and a PSTN service includes an Rj-11 port, a voice splitter, a first relay, a second relay, a SLIC chip, a CPU, and a ring detection unit. The ring detection unit outputs a first switch signal in response to detecting a ring signal of a PSTN communication. The second relay connects the telephone to the VOIP network in response to a power on event. The CPU controls the first relay and the second relay to connect the telephone to the PSTN network in response to the CPU receiving the first switch signal, and controls the second relay to reconnect the telephone to the VOIP network when the PSTN communication ends.

Abstract translation: 可以在VOIP业务和PSTN业务之间切换的电话网络接入设备包括Rj-11端口，语音分离器，第一中继器，第二中继器，SLIC芯片，CPU和环形检测单元。 环检测单元响应于检测到PSTN通信的振铃信号而输出第一开关信号。 第二个继电器响应电源接通事件将电话连接到VOIP网络。 CPU控制第一中继和第二中继器，以响应于CPU接收到第一交换信号将电话连接到PSTN网络，并且当PSTN通信结束时，控制第二中继器将电话重新连接到VOIP网络。

Abstract: The present invention enables users of packet-switched network services, e.g., VoIP network services, to hear a very gentle whispering tone that quietly conveys the identity of the calling party when they are engaged in conversation and to receive a call-waiting signal. The tone is audible only to the called party but does not mute the ongoing conversation path. This enables subscribed users to hear their ongoing conversation while receiving the whispering tone.
