Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a 5G or 6G communication system for supporting a higher data transmission rate. Specifically, the disclosure related to apparatus and methods for supporting ad hoc group standalone SDS in MCData service. A method incudes receiving, by MCData server of primary MCData system, first data transfer request message from MCData client of primary MCData system for determining target MCData users for standalone SDS. Further, determines whether criteria for determining a list of MCData users or a list of MCData users associated with primary and partner MCData system is received. Further, determining list of MCData users based on criteria when criteria is received, and creates an ad hoc group, assigns pre-configured group and ad hoc group ID. Also, creating an ad hoc group based on list of MCData users associated with primary and partner MCData system when list of MCData users are received in first data transfer request message, and assigning a pre-configured group and ad hoc group ID to created ad hoc group.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a method and apparatus for sharing contacts entries at a Telephony Server (TS), the method including receiving a request from a Telephony Control Point coupled to the TS in a Universal Plug and Play home network to share at least one contact element associated with a contact entry with at least one recipient, retrieving the at least one contact element from a network address book in a Wide Area Network server connected to the TS or from a local address book in the TS, and sharing the at least one contact element with the at least one recipient.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method and system for managing contact information in a universal plug and play (UPnP) home network environment. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a method of a telephony server (TS) for providing contact information to a telephony control point (TelCP) in a universal plug and play home network environment. The method includes receiving a request for providing contact information updates associated with at least one contact entry from the TelCP connected to the TS in an UPnP home network environment. The method further includes obtaining the requested contact information updates from an address book associated with the at least one contact entry. The method also includes providing the obtained contact information updates associated with the at least one contact entry to the TelCP.
