  • Emergency call method
    Patent number: 7761080
    Abstract: A method for generating an emergency call as well as an emergency sensing device and a mobile phone for executing this method. An emergency event is triggered on the emergency sensing device. When detecting the emergency event, the emergency sensing device activates a transmitter and transmits an emergency signal via a wireless communication interface to the mobile phone. The mobile phone establishes an emergency call to a predefined destination, when receiving via the wireless communication interface such emergency signal from the emergency sensing device.

  • Process, service computer, switching centre, terminals and program modules for handling incoming telephone calls during and online data-network session blocking a subscriber line
    Patent number: 6947538
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process and also to a service computer, a switching center, terminals, program modules and memory means with program modules for handling incoming telephone calls for a subscriber line (VA1) of a telecommunications network (PSTN) during an online data-network session blocking the subscriber line (VA1). In this process a terminal (TERA) sets up a connection (VA11, VA1, VPOP1) to an online data-network access device (POP) via the subscriber line (VA1). Thereupon the online data-network access device (POP) sends current access data to the terminal (TERA), which the terminal (TERA) signals to a service computer (SCP) of the telecommunications network.

  • Method of charging for the use of an internet service plus a service control unit and a service provider unit
    Patent number: 6611821
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method of charging for the use of an internet service (SERV) by a subscriber of a communications network (KN), plus a service unit (SERV_IN) of this communications network and a service provider unit (SERVU) which furnishes the internet service (SERV). The subscriber accesses the internet service (SERV) by means of a terminal (TE) of the communications network. Establishing a communication connection between the terminal (TE) and the internet (INT) triggers the service unit (SERV_IN) of the communications network (KN). When the internet service (SERV) is accessed via this communication connection, an additional control connection (KOMM) is established between the internet service (SERV) and the service unit (SERV_IN).

  • Method of establishing a connection as well as an exchange, service computer and communications network
    Patent number: 6215770
    Abstract: A requesting terminal signals a call request (CALL) to a control unit of a first communications network. The control unit then determines whether sufficient capacity is available in the first communications network to establish the connection requested by the call request. In the event of insufficient capacity, the control unit transmits an overload message (DAT) to the requesting terminal. It only initiates an alternative establishment of the requested connection via another, second communications network after it receives an acknowledge message (ACK) issued by the requesting terminal.
