Abstract: An ENUM system includes a Web server and an ENUM server. The Web server stores first NAPTR records corresponding to an ENUM client and another ENUM client on an IP network. The ENUM server stores second NAPTR records in which first URIs are associated with predetermined information for being linked to the Web server. In the ENUM system, the ENUM client transmits, to the ENUM server, a query for the second NAPTR record of the another ENUM client. The ENUM client then transmits, to the Web server, a request for access to the first URI included in the received second NAPTR record, and obtains the first NAPTR record corresponding to the another ENUM client.

Abstract: An IP telephone system includes a source IP telephone apparatus, a Web server and an ENUM server. The source IP telephone apparatus is connected to an IP network. The Web server stores predetermined information regarding a user of the source IP telephone apparatus and transmits, to a destination IP telephone apparatus, the predetermined information in response to a request from the destination IP telephone apparatus. The ENUM server stores a NAPTR resource record which includes a URI utilized for obtaining the predetermined information stored in the Web server. In the IP telephone system, the destination IP telephone apparatus transmits, to the ENUM server, a request for a NAPTR resource record of the source IP telephone apparatus and transmits, to the Web server, a request for the predetermined information regarding the source IP telephone apparatus according to the obtained NAPTR resource record.

Abstract: An IP telephone apparatus is connected to an ENUM server and a Web server via an IP network. The ENUM server has a database that stores an IP telephone URI as terminal information of the IP telephone apparatus and a Web server URI corresponding to the IP telephone apparatus. The Web server stores image data captured by a camera. The IP telephone apparatus transmits to the ENUM server a query on terminal information of a destination IP telephone apparatus; receives from the ENUM server the terminal information of the destination IP telephone apparatus; acquires from the received terminal information a Web server URI corresponding to the destination IP telephone apparatus and performs visual communication with the Web server based on the Web server URI; and displays captured image data received from the Web server in the visual communication.

Abstract: An IFAX has a call controller that transmits and receives a SIP message to and from a destination apparatus via a SIP server, a file transmitter/receiver that transmits and receives image data to and from a Web server, and a communication manager that exchanges information for managing the image data transfer to and from the destination apparatus, by adding predetermined information to the SIP message. Thereby, the IFAX transfers the image data via the Web server while performing SIP-based communication with the destination apparatus.

Abstract: An ENUM server stores NAPTR records including PSTN telephone numbers and the corresponding IP telephone numbers of a source IP telephone apparatus and a destination IP telephone apparatus. When the ENUM server receives an ENUM query from the source IP telephone apparatus, the ENUM query setting a domain name based on the PSTN telephone number, the ENUM server searches for a NAPTR record corresponding to the domain name and returns, to the source IP telephone apparatus, an ENUM response including the NAPTR record. When receiving the ENUM response from the ENUM server, the source IP telephone apparatus retrieves the IP telephone number of the destination IP telephone apparatus, the IP telephone number being specified in the NAPTR record contained in the ENUM response, and starts a call connection sequence with the destination IP telephone apparatus.

Abstract: An IP telephone system comprises an IP telephone that performs voice communication via an IP network, a carrier that manages voice communication for the IP telephone via the IP network and a server that returns NAPTR resource record(s) in response to a request from the IP telephone. In the IP telephone system, when the IP telephone performs voice communication via the IP network, the IP telephone transmits, to the server, a request for NAPTR resource record(s) that correspond(s) to the telephone number of the destination terminal. When NAPTR resource record(s) is(are) stored, voice communication is directly performed between the IP telephone and the destination terminal via the IP network according to the NAPTR resource record. On the other hand, when NAPTR resource record(s) is(are) not stored, the carrier manages calls, and voice communication is performed between the IP telephone and the destination terminal via the IP network.

Abstract: An IP telephone number query system includes a terminal, a Web server, and an ENUM server. The terminal displays a call recipient profile hypertext markup language (html) that is assigned a HTML document file name. The Web server includes a phonebook searcher that has a plurality of call recipient profile htmls, and returns a selected call recipient profile html in response to a request from the terminal. The ENUM server has a database, a query issuer and a reversed query issuer. The database stores a plurality of NAPTR resource records in association with an ENUM domain name, each NAPTR resource record containing a URI that at least includes a telephone number and a HTML document file name. The query issuer searches the database in response to a query by an ENUM domain name and returns a NAPTR resource record corresponding to the ENUM domain name.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a bearing ring member for a rolling bearing unit is provided. In this method, a blank hollow cylindrical portion having a smaller diameter than a hollow cylindrical portion is formed, the blank hollow cylindrical portion is radially expanded to form the hollow cylindrical portion, and a raceway surface is formed on either inner or outer circumferential surface of the hollow cylindrical portion along a circumferential direction thereof.

Abstract: There is provided a method of manufacturing an outwardly flanged metal member, by which a metal member having outward flange portions which extend radially outwardly from a plurality of positions along a circumferential direction on an outer peripheral surface can be formed without a flash, or with a reduced amount of a flash. While surrounding a periphery of a metal blank 15 by a stationary die 21 and a movable die 22 and butting a distal face of the movable die 22 and a distal face of the stationary die 21, an axial end face of the blank 15 is plastically deformed by pressing the axial end face with the punch under a warm or hot condition to form the outward flange portions 7a by filling flange molding cavities 32 with a portion of the blank 15.

Abstract: A source IP telephone inputs, from its numeric keypad, a telephone number of a call destination and obtains, from an ENUM server, a NAPTR record of the destination IP telephone based upon the input telephone number of the call destination. By referring to a search table, the source IP telephone retrieves, from the obtained NAPTR record, an available specific number in the ascending order of call rates from the lowest based upon communication services available to the source IP telephone. The source IP telephone transmits a call to the destination IP telephone by using the retrieved specific number.

Abstract: A source IP telephone apparatus obtains, from an ENUM server, NAPTR records of a call destination based on a telephone number of the call destination, the telephone number being input by dialing. The source IP telephone apparatus then selects, from the obtained NAPTR records, a NAPTR record to be used for transmitting a call, based on a priority order, and transmits a call to the call destination based on an access method and a destination number included in the selected NAPTR record. When a destination IP telephone apparatus is busy, the second priority NAPTR record is selected and another call is made by automatically switching the access method.

Abstract: A CPU in an IP telephone apparatus automatically controls to transmit, from a network I/F to an ENUM server, a request for deleting a NAPTR record when an absent key is pressed. The CPU regularly transmits, from the network I/F to the ENUM server, an inquiry for a NAPTR record of another IP telephone apparatus. When the CPU receives, from the ENUM server via the network I/F, a response indicating that the NAPTR record of another IP telephone apparatus has been deleted, in response to the inquiry, the CPU turns OFF a lamp indicating that the user is available.
