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 he 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: The invention concerns a telecommunication system (10) and a computer-implemented method for transferring media data from a first RTC client (30) over a QoS-sensitive network (N1) using the real-time protocol (RTP) to a second RTC client (40), wherein the quality of service is based on different traffic classes and the media data contain a first media type with a first traffic class (QoS1) and a second media type with a second traffic class (QoS2), comprising the following steps: media data, which contain a first media type with a first traffic class (QoS 1) and a second media type with a second traffic class (QoS2), are bundled by the first RTC client (30) into second packets (P2), in each second packet (P2), the traffic class (QoS1, QoS2) for each media type is marked in layer 4 and/or layer 5 of the real-time protocol (RTP), the second packets (P2) are transmitted in the direction of the second RTC client (40), either before or during the transfer to the network (N1), the second packets (P2) are unbundl

Abstract: In a method procedure for managing a caller's call to a call center with a call center agent, an agent is defined to receive the call and identified as the responsible agent for an incident assigned to the call. A relationship is created between the responsible agent and the incident. Then a token is generated that allows the relationship to be addressed without containing any individual connection or personal data for the responsible agent. The token is made available for the caller so the token can be activated when the caller resumes contact with the call center. The token causes the caller to be connected to the responsible agent or a proxy if the token is activated when contact is resumed.

Abstract: In a method for addressing messages in a computer network in which two different types of address are used, wherein at least one first network element (4, 5, 6, 7, 8) uses exclusively a first type of address, at least one second network element (14, 15, 16, 17, 18) uses exclusively a second type of address and at least one third network element (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14) uses both types of address, at least one third network element (9) is a communication terminal which, besides its function as a communication terminal, also performs a function as an address converter for messages for which said communication terminal is neither the original sender nor an ultimate recipient.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for monitoring a communication system, comprising: acquiring and storing data about timeout events or faulty transfers in connection with at least one signaling process in at least one first communication terminal (1, 2, 3) of the communication system; and creating a collection of such data and transferring (7, 8, 10) said collection to a collection point (4) for said data in the communication system.

Abstract: In a method for setting up a communication link between a first telephony terminal (PA) and a second telephony terminal (PB) in a communication network which transports data packets, in particular on the Internet, with the aid of at least one signalling Server (SA, SB), in particular with the aid of an SIP Server, the first telephony terminal informs a first signalling Server that a call is intended to be made to the second telephony terminal. The first signalling Server which has been informed or a second signalling Server which has been informed by this first signalling Server recognizes that the call is intended to be made with a particular quality of Service and sets up a communication link between the first telephony terminal and the second telephony terminal, which link corresponds to this quality of Service.

Abstract: A telecommunication system and a method for generating a real time connection between a first endpoint and a second endpoint in an IP network using an ICE STUN connectivity check follow a procedure that includes the steps of generating a list of possible connection paths between the first endpoint and the second endpoint, establishing a respective priority for each possible connection path included in the list, and generating the real time connection between the first endpoint and the second endpoint. During this procedure first there is an attempt to generate the real time connection using the highest-priority connection path. If this is not possible, then the system attempts to establish the real connection using the connection path with the next highest priority, until the real time connection is actually established. Furthermore, for each possible connection path, its respective quality-of-service value is determined and is considered when establishing its priority on the list.

Abstract: In a method for capturing and transmitting motion data (s1) from a transmitter (103, 203) to a receiver (104, 204), motion data is captured by a capturing device (102, 202) at the transmitter end, said capturing device (102, 202) registering the motion of an object (106, 206) by means of at least one sensor (101, 201) and converting the registered motion into a digital signal (i2). Said digital signal is fed to the receiver, which embeds the data of the digital signal (i2) in a series (i3) of data and transmits said series of data to a receiver. In addition to or instead of the data of the digital signal, the series of data transmitted by the transmitter contains context data which the receiver uses to interpret and process the originally captured motion data within a defined context.

Abstract: After the input of a subscriber (TLN1) of the first terminal (EG1), a connection to a temporarily available voice memory (SPS) is signalized by the same, and subsequently a voice message (spn) and at least one piece of retrieval information (ai) identifying the second terminal (EG2) is transmitted and stored at that location. Subsequently, the connection is terminated and the second terminal (EG2) is informed of the presence of a retrievable voice message (spn) in the voice memory (SPS) via the voice memory (SPS) by means of the at least one piece of retrieval information (ai), and the voice message (spn) can be retrieved from the second terminal (EG2) by means of the transmitted retrieval information (ai), or is transmitted to the second terminal (EG2) by the voice memory (SPS). In this manner voice messages (spn) can be stored for terminals (EG2) and retrieved by the same, regardless of whether one or no voice memories—such as an answering machine—is associated with these terminals (EG2).

Abstract: A location information (li) which is available in a mobile terminal device (ME-T) and which indicates the geographical location of the terminal device (ME-T) is embedded in messages (m) of a SIP protocol (SIP) which are exchanged between the terminal device (ME-T) and the network (WLAN) during the establishment of a session and/or during a session and/or during the registration of a terminal device (ME-T) in the network (WLAN), e.g. LAN or UMTS, or during request of a service or a function. By advantageously complementing the SIP protocol (session initiation protocol), the location information can be transmitted from a mobile terminal device (ME-T), which optionally has a telephone function, to the network (WLAN) in any signaling state, thereby substantially reducing the economic outlay for implementing the transmission of location information (li) to the network (WLAN).
