Abstract: In one aspect, a method used to determine services in a network is provided. For a plurality of devices, information pertaining to a location of the respective device is stored in a location information item. A location information item providing a location of a user is generated. At least one of the plurality of devices to be used by the user based on the generated location information item and to the stored location information items is automatically selecting; a status report is transmitted to a device used by the user, with the user being offered the use a service via the status report, the offered service effected by the selected device.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for transmitting on-demand software and/or data from a server (20) to a terminal (10) in a packet network (50). According to said method, a bandwidth test is performed as a prerequisite for transmission, said test verifying whether the currently available bandwidth is sufficient for transmitting the requested software or data. The server (20) does not transmit the requested software or the requested data if the result of the bandwidth test is negative.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method, whereby the decision as to whether a protocol conversion is required or not is made according to a target datum contained in a signaling message, it is decided whether. The generation of a signaling message according to another signaling protocol is only then carried out if it is absolutely necessary. Said measures enable data losses to be limited as a result of the protocol conversion. Furthermore, for example, the load on the protocol conversion unit is reduced.

Abstract: Method and arrangement for accessing a first terminal in a first communication network from a second communication node in a second communication network. To access a first terminal (EG1) in a first communication network (N1) from a second communication node (K2) in a second communication network (N2), the first and second communication networks (N1 and N2) are connected to one another for the purpose of interchanging control data using a proxy server (PRX). The first terminal (EG1) is registered with the second communication node (N2) by the proxy server (PRX) like a terminal at the second communication node (K2), which means that the second communication node (K2) manages the first terminal (EG1) as a terminal at the second communication node (K2).

Abstract: A central method is used to access a user identifier which denotes a user who is using or wishes to use an operating resource whose function is provided by an application program. The central method is used to store a configuration identifier for the user identifier, the configuration identifier being able to be used to carry out a configuration method.

Abstract: A telecommunication device, and associated method, for forwarding messages intended for forwarded-to subscribers, including a database which contains subscriber-related information relating to a number of forwarded-to subscribers and terminals associated with these and message formats compatible with these terminals, and a control device. On reception of a message for a forwarded-to subscriber, the control device selects via the subscriber-related information one or more terminals via which the forwarded-to subscriber can be reached, and message formats which are compatible with these terminals, converts the message with the aid of conversion modules and forwards it to the respective corresponding telecommunication network interface for transmission to the selected terminals.
