Abstract: It is an object to provide a novel system for supporting contact lens users, who has not been provided with an after-selling support sufficiently, which is able to provide an appropriate support to individual contact lens user so that he can use contact lenses with comfortable. In order to attain the object, an image signal of the user's currently used contact lenses (20) acquired by a user client apparatus (18) is transmitted via communication network means (38), to a server apparatus (12) of a supporting entity (10). The server apparatus (12) then obtains lens condition evaluation data, which are stored in memory means (14) and transmitted via the communication network means (38) to the user client apparatus (18) so that the user (16) can be provided with the lens condition evaluation data.

Abstract: A system and method of providing an enhanced service in a telecommunications network. The system includes a telecommunications network utilizing a circuit switched and packet switched access capability. The system also includes a sending User Equipment (UE) originating a call to a receiving UE. The sending UE sends an indicator informing the network to wait for further call information before proceeding with a call request towards the receiving UE. The system also includes a control node for routing calls within the network. The control node combines the call information received from the sending UE with call routing information of the call for connecting the call with the receiving UE to form a call request to the receiving UE. Upon receiving the call request message by the receiving UE, the call is connected and a media path is established between the receiving UE and the sending UE.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing access domain selection for a user device accessing an IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network. A Call Session Control Function (CSCF) in the IMS network stores an access domain indicator associated with a user s contact address. The access domain indicator is associated with the user s contact address when the user registers with the IMS network. The CSCF sends the access domain indicator to an Access Domain Selection (ADS) function in the IMS network, the access domain indicator to be used by the ADS function in selecting an access domain. This allows the ADS function to select the correct access domain to use when sending messages to the user device.

Abstract: The present invention proposes a solution for providing packet-switched services to a user, even in case the user is accessibly only via a circuit-switched access. For this purpose it is proposed to force the user to report changes in the reachability status and to keep the user's registration alive in a packet-switched domain as long as the user is reachable. A packet-switched adapter located between the circuit-switched domain and a packet-switched domain aligns the registration status of the user in the packet-switched domain to the reachability status and performs a registration procedure depending on the outcome of the alignments. The registration procedure might be in detail either a registration or a re-registration or a de-registration procedure.
