    Abstract: A telecommunications service or application has associated with it a set of exceptions which, in effect, define a set of matchable inputs from a user and corresponding answer functions to be performed in the event of the particular input. An input user text message (50) is tested against a list (51) of exceptions sequentially until a match is found, and then the corresponding answer function is executed. The matching process, inter alia, divides the input text into one or more parts, and information derived from or associated with one part of the input text is used together with information derived from or associated with another part of the input text (or a part of a previous input text) to control the response of the system to the input text (such as the response to be provided to the (user). For example, attributes associated with different identified parts of the input text are cross-referenced to see if the different parts of the input text have any attributes in common.

    Abstract: An apparatus for processing communications from an originator (11) to a recipient (12) in a telecommunications network is described. The apparatus comprises a memory for storing an availability status indicator for a recipient of communications and a service processor. The service processor (29) is operable to receive an indication that a communication for the recipient has been received by the network in any one of a number of different communication formats, e.g. text message formats or a voice call format, to determine from the availability status indicator for the recipient whether the intended recipient is indicated as being unavailable to respond to the communication, and on determining that the intended recipient is indicated as being unavailable to respond to the communication, to instigate delivery of an outgoing text message to the originator to inform the him of this. Thus subscribers of the network can readily configure a text-message "Out of Office" type reply to communications directed to them in any one of a number of different formats.

    Abstract translation: 描述了一种用于处理从电信网络中的始发者(11)到接收者(12)的通信的装置。 该装置包括用于存储通信接收者的可用状态指示符和服务处理器的存储器。 服务处理器(29)可操作以接收通过网络以多种不同通信格式(例如,多个不同的通信格式)中的任一种接收接收者的通信的指示。 文本消息格式或语音呼叫格式,从接收者的可用性状态指示符确定预期接收者是否被指示为不可用于响应通信,并且在确定预期接收者被指示为不可用于响应于该通信 通信,唆使发送短信的发送给发起人,以通知他。 因此,网络的订户可以容易地配置文本消息“离开”类型的答复,以便以多种不同格式中的任何一种指向它们的通信。

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods for facilitating access by a user of a primary service to a secondary service in a telecommunications network are described, e.g. , to assist a user of a voice-mail service to access another premium-rate service advertised during the user's interaction with the primary service. The method comprises establishing a primary communications link between the user and a control unit associated with the primary service, providing a stimulus ( e.g. an advert) to the user via the primary communications link inviting the user to indicate an interest in the secondary service, detecting a response from the user indicating an interest in the secondary service, providing the user with access, or continued access, to the primary service via the primary communications link after detecting the response from the user indicating an interest in the secondary service; and initiating a facilitating communication from the control unit to assist in establishing a secondary communications link between the user and the secondary service after the primary communications link is terminated. Thus a user of the primary service is assisted in accessing the secondary service in a manner that does not interrupt access to the primary service.

    Abstract: A video server for use in a telecommunications network having an audio service is described. The video server is operable to provide a user of the telecommunications network with video content and also to provide the user with audio content retrieved by the video server from the audio service. The audio service may, for example, be a voice mail service. Thus a user wishing to access their voice mailbox to retrieve voice mail messages may establish a video call with the video server, and the video server may then establish a voice call to the voice mail service to retrieve audio content, e.g. stored messages or announcements by the voice mail audio service. The video server may then route / relay the audio content from the audio service to the user along with video content generated by the video server, or received by the video server from another source, such as a video stream or a storage medium. The video content provided in conjunction with the audio content may be provided simultaneously with the audio content or at a different time. Thus an enhanced user experience which allows for the provision of additional services to a user accessing the audio service is provided.

    Abstract translation: 描述了在具有音频服务的电信网络中使用的视频服务器。 视频服务器可操作以向电信网络的用户提供视频内容,并且还向用户提供由视频服务器从音频服务检索的音频内容。 音频服务可以例如是语音邮件服务。 因此,希望访问其语音信箱以获取语音邮件消息的用户可以与视频服务器建立视频呼叫,并且视频服务器然后可以建立到语音邮件服务的语音呼叫以检索音频内容,例如, 由语音邮件音频服务存储的消息或通知。 然后,视频服务器可以将音频内容从音频服务路由/转发到用户以及由视频服务器生成的视频内容,或者由视频服务器从诸如视频流或存储介质的另一个源接收。 与音频内容一起提供的视频内容可以与音频内容同时提供,或者在不同的时间提供。 因此,提供了允许向访问音频服务的用户提供附加服务的增强的用户体验。

    Abstract: A mobile telephone network (1) has associated with it an automated call response system (2) and an automated text message processing system (3), which are coupled to each other via a control link or path (4). The automated text message processing system (3) includes processing and intelligence to allow it to control the dialogue provided by the automated call response system (2) to a caller (5) on the basis of text messages that the automated text processing system (3) receives from the caller 5 during the call to the automated call response system (2). In this way, text messages sent by the caller 5 during the call- can control the voice dialogue provided for the call by the automated call response system (2) in real time.

    Abstract: Less invasive surgical techniques for performing brain surgery are disclosed in which a dilating obturator and cannula assembly is inserted into brain tissue until the obturator tip and cannula are adjacent to the target tissue. The obturator is removed and surgery is performed through the cannula. In preferred embodiments the obturator and cannula are placed using image guidance techniques and systems to coordinate placement with pre-operative surgical planning. A stylet with associated image guidance may be inserted prior to insertion of the obturator and cannula assembly to guide insertion of the obturator and cannula assembly. Surgery preferably is performed using an endoscope partially inserted into the cannula with an image of the target tissue projected onto a monitor. Dilating obturator structures having a rounded or semi-spherical tip and/or an optical window for visualizing brain tissue during expansion are contemplated.
