  • Patent number: 8009592
    Abstract: A technique for connecting a dialed B-party number to a data object is described. The connecting of a B-party number to a specific data object, hereafter referred to as phonepage, will allow an A-party direct access to information that a B-party wishes to display to a calling party. The phonepage resides in a memory in a telecommunications network, or in a memory in a data-communications network connected thereto. The phonepage may have a similar appearance to an Internet web page, but may also take other appearances. The displaying of the phonepage may be made dependent upon the capabilities of the A-party user equipment.

  • Patent number: 7499697
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the one-time only call preventing device of a portable telephone set, and it particularly aims to provide a device preventing one-time only calls without answering to an unpleasant call by charging its originator for a one-time only call. For example, if a one-time only call arrives, a telephone directory database is retrieved. If the originating number of the one-time only call is not registered in the telephone directory database, or if the number is for a call set to a zero-calling time even though it is registered in the telephone directory database, the one-time only coping process of the present invention is performed. By adopting such a configuration, one-time only calls can be prevented and also answering to such unpleasant calls can be done without.
