Abstract:
Aspects describe modifying a service search pattern based on whether a device battery is being charged (504) or is not being charged (504) (e.g., is connected to a battery charger or not connected to a battery charger). A power conservative search pattern can be utilized (508) if the battery is not being charged. If the battery is being charged, the search pattern can be an aggressive search pattern (506). Further, the search pattern can change if there is a change in whether the battery is being charged (706). The rate of charging the battery, a current battery level, amount of power consumed during the search, and/or the power being input by the battery chargers can be utilized to select and/or modify a network search pattern. Further, a user can select or change a search pattern through interaction with a user interface.
Abstract:
A method of transmitting a telephone number in a wireless local loop (WLL) system is provided for allowing a user to instantly hear a ring back tone by immediately performing a dialing in a WLL terminal when a flash signal is input by the user operating a hook switch after a telephone number is dialed in an ordinary telephone connected to the WLL terminal. The method checks the state of a hook switch of the ordinary telephone connected to the WLL terminal. When an off-hook sate is determined, it is determined whether a telephone number is input. When it is determined that a telephone number is input, the telephone number is stored in a dial buffer. It is continuously checked whether a flash signal is input while the input telephone number is being stored in the dial buffer. When the flash signal is input, the telephone number stored in the dial buffer is transmitted to the WLL system base station.
Abstract:
A telephone communication arrangement which includes the steps of effecting a transmission of a telephone call to a destination (13, 16) that allows for the caller number to be identified but which does not otherwise answer the call thereby not raising a charge from a telephone network provider. The destination (13, 16) has means to effect an interpretation of the source (5) and the call numbers sought and effects an output in accord with a selected interpretation of the pattern and selection of the destination of such incoming calls.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a communications terminal (T) with a controller (ST) to establish telephone connections and to transmit control signals for enhanced functions to an analog telephone switching system. According to the invention, a storage (SP) or a storage area is provided for receiving said control signals and for subsequent reproduction, especially on a display device (DP).
