Abstract: A method and arrangement for transmitting audio signals from one communication terminal equipment (KES) via a communication network to another communication terminal equipment (KEE) using the facsimile transmission protocol of ITU-T.T4 and ITU-T.T.30, has the following method steps: a digital input audio signal is compressed in the sending communication terminal equipment (KES); the compressed audio signal is divided into data frames according to ITU-T.T.4 Annex A and ITU-T.T.30 Annex A; every data frame is identified as an audio information data frame (ACD, SCD); the audio information data frames (ACD, SCD) are transmitted from the sending communication terminal equipment (KES) to the receiving communication terminal equipment (KEE) using the facsimile transmission protocol and are stored in the latter; and the stored audio information data frames are output as digital audio signal after application of a decompression method or are further-processed.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for storing, searching and playback of highly compressed audiovisual items of information and data files of a multimedia electronic mail system, using a protocol for multimedia multiplexing and multimedia control, with a control for the multimedia information streams in a separate virtual control channel according to ITU-T H.245, with multiplexers or, respectively, demultiplexers for information according to ITU-T H.223, with a video compression and coding means or, respectively, video decompression and decoding means, e.g. according to ITU-T H.263, with an audio/speech compression and audio/speech decompression means for compression or, respectively, decompression, using a high-compression speech compression algorithm, with at least one network access and with a control for controlling the multimedia electronic mail system via a separate logical control channel.

Abstract: A method and arrangement for connection setup and control of digitally compressed audio, video and data signals between videotelephones of the analog and digital communication networks (for example, telephone network, mobile telecommunication) and a method and arrangement for the transmission of still pictures and/or between videotelephones of the same category are disclosed. In videotelephony, a bidirectional full-duplex information exchange is fundamentally assumed in both directions, that is, both communicating videotelephone terminal equipment are usually transmitter and receiver of audio, video, control and, potentially, other information types at the same time. The method for connection setup between videotelephone communication terminal equipment in a transmission network using a protected transmission protocol in a framework of ITU-T V.8 initialization and of an ITU-T V.34 modem, has the steps of: supporting videotelephone communication within the framework of the ITU-T V.
