Abstract:
A system for enabling setup and control of conference calls using short message service (SMS) messages (SMs). The SMS messages may be used to set up, or control a scheduled or real-time conference call. The SMS messages can also be used to exercise real-time control over a conference call. Invitations can be sent in real time to add participants to a call in progress, or to transfer the call from any participant's telephone to another telephone connected to the PSTN.
Abstract:
The invention is a messaging system and method which permits the communication of messages having a variety of different data formats, such as facsimile messages, voice messages, electronic messages and the like. The system ensures that any type of message originating from an originating node will be received by a destination node through the communications network because the communications network includes a plurality of different communications routes over which the message may be sent. The system includes a method for dynamically routing the message over the plurality of communications routes to ensure successful communication of the message from the origination node to the destination node. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, the messaging system may divide a message into one or more encrypted electronic packets and each electronic packet may be communicated to the destination node over a different communications route so that the message is delivered more rapidly and the message does not congest a particular communications route.
Abstract:
A system and a method for object access through a cellular telephone, which is termed herein "object dialing". Object dialing requires a data enabled access device, such as a cellular telephone for example, through which the user enters an object identifier. The cellular telephone then connects to a object identifier resolution server, which processes the object identifier. The process of connection is optionally performed by initializing a voice telephone call which is then automatically switched to a data connection call, and alternatively or additionally is performed with manual interaction from the user. Also alternatively or additionally, the process of connection is initialized through the transmission of a data message, such as an SMS message for example, after which the connection may again be alternatively or additionally performed with manual interaction from the user.
Abstract:
To relieve a subscriber of a first terminal (T1), fixed or mobile, from consulting messages deposited in a voice message service (PCS), the voice message service notifies to the first terminal the presence of a deposited message associated with the identifier (ID2) of a second terminal (T2), immediately after unhooking and transmission of said identifier. The message (MS) is transmitted to the first terminal (T1) only if the user wishes to listen to it so as to decide whether or not to hold the call from the second terminal. Otherwise, it proceeds with the setting up of the call from the second terminal.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for sorting and forwarding data in a data transmission system in which the data are transmitted from a transmitter to a receiver through different transmission channels. The inventive device comprises a storage device (1) for temporarily storing data that is received, a transmission device (2) for reading out data from the storage device and sending the data and a processing device (3) for determining the delay with which the received data are received in relation to each other and for storing the data in a storage device. The invention also relates to a method for sorting and forwarding data in a data transmission system (that is used in this device).
Abstract:
The present invention proposes a method for providing a user interface between a terminal device (MS) and a communication network (IN-NW) for configuring intelligent network services, said network (IN-NW) comprising a service control entity (SCP, CSE) and a server entity (WAP- or WTA-SERVER) communicating with each other via an interface (WAP-I/F), said service control entity being connected to at least one service switching device (SSP, MSC, HLR, VLR) establishing communication via at least one access network (RAN, BSS) with said terminal device (MS), and said terminal device (MS) being provided with a browsing means (WAP-UA) adapted to communicate with a user of said terminal device via a man machine interface means (MMI), and adapted to communicate with said server entity, the method comprising the steps of: creating a content which constitutes a user interface for the control of a multiple subscriber profiles (MSP) feature; user interacting with the content; and modifying the state of the subscriber profiles in accordance with said user interaction.

Abstract:
A system and method (10) for enhancing the operation of a wireless phone in emergency situations. The system sets the wireless phone in an emergency callback state (12) when an emergency call is placed via the wireless phone. The system then controls the phone to automatically answer (18) an incoming call when the wireless phone is in the emergency callback state. In a specific embodiment, the emergency callback state is characterized by high wireless phone volume settings. In the callback state (12), modification of network service settings is not permitted and use of the wireless phone is limited to placing emergency calls only. The emergency callback mode may be exited by depressing the END button. The second mechanism includes software running on a computer included in the wireless phone. The software includes commands for automatically answering the wireless phone after a predetermined number of rings.
Abstract:
For complementing a telephone connection with additional information a first telecommunication device transmits to a second telecommunication device a request for setting up a telephone connection (102, 302, 402). In association with said request, a first signalling message (103, 303, 403) is transmitted. The receiver of the first signalling message (104, 304, 404) makes a decision about how to handle the call on the basis of the information received in said first signalling message (105, 305, 405).
Abstract:
Conventional digital switching systems have message buffers that possess a number of processors forming a store and forward network. Messages forwarded via switches can be sent from and to processors in such a network. A switch is required to have a message store since messages are sent irrespective of the ready-to-receive state of the receiver and irrespective of the availability of all line sections. The aim of the invention is to provide a network that can dispense with the storage of messages in the switch. The invention relates to a network of data units that are coupled and transmit messages to each other in a digital switching system, whereby the send data unit and the receive data unit comprise means for performing handshakes and the switch contains means (46) for reserving a data path in response to a handshake.
