Abstract: A system and method can enable a user of a communications network, such as a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), wireless and/or voice over IP network to participate in Presence Availability Management (PAM) and Instant Messaging (IM) activities of a PAM/IM network. In response to phone network triggers, a phone network Service Control Point (SCP) can generate requests to a web server. The web server can translate the requests to presence information that can be forwarded to presence user agents for participants of the PAM/IM network. The presence user agents can present the user's presence information to participants having the user on their “buddy list”. In turn, the presence user agent for the user can forward the presence information for participants on the user's “buddy list” to a media server that can communicate the information to the user through Automatic Speech Recognition, Text to Speech and/or Dual Tone MultiFrequency technology.

Abstract: A method for testing working states of a mobile phone. The mobile phone is switched from a first working state to a second working state automatically by a switch module. In the first working state, a non-emergency phone number with a subscriber identity module card can be connected. The non-emergency phone number is dialed to test the working state of the mobile phone. The mobile phone is switched from the second working state to the first working state automatically by a switch module. The non-emergency phone number is dialed to test the working state of the mobile phone.

Abstract: A method, a system, and a device for inputting user instructions of a user-controllable telecommunication device. An RFID transponder is introduced into a sphere of scope of an RFID transceiver and the RFID identification data of the RFID transponder is transmitted to the RFID transceiver. The RFID identification data and/or RFID transceiver identification are transmitted to a collection module by the RFID transceiver. An assigned user instruction is selected by the collection module and by tables containing RFID identification data and tables containing RFID transceiver identifications accessible by the collection module and controlling the user-controllable telecommunication device by the collection module in accordance with the selected user instruction.

Abstract: A method includes receiving an identification value from a wireless beacon at a mobile device when the mobile device is within a detection area of the wireless beacon. The method also includes determining whether the wireless beacon is a recognized wireless beacon based on the identification value using a look up table accessible to the mobile device. An alternate communication address is selected from the look up table based on the identification value received from the wireless beacon, and communications addressed to the mobile device are redirected to the alternate communication address.

Abstract: In a communication terminal using UIM, when a message disabling use of a content is received not by a communication terminal containing the content to disabled, but by another communication terminal containing the same content, the content stored in a storage unit of the communication terminal which has received the message is not disabled. Mobile phone 100-1 using UIM stores a program in correlation with a telephone number stored in the UIM. When mobile phone 100-1 receives a management message to delete a program, mobile phone 100-1 interprets the content of the management message. Mobile phone 100-1 obtains a telephone number from the UIM, and deletes the content stored in correlation with the telephone number according to the management message interpreted.

Abstract: A method and mobile communication device capable of resuming operating function of a temporarily disable SIM (subscriber identity module) card are provided. The SIM card is disposed in a mobile equipment (ME), in which a code verification state of the SIM card is recorded. When the code verification state is “verification required” state, the ME records an original personal identification number (PIN)/PIN unlock key (PIN/PUK) code corresponding to the SIM card. The method includes the steps of executing a SIM card start-up procedure; determining whether the code verification state of PIN/PUK code is the same with the state stored in the ME and whether a PIN/PUK code re-read from the SIM card is the same with the original one; and determining whether the international mobile subscriber identity (IMSI) value re-read from the SIM card is the same with original one: if so, resume and re-use the SIM card.

Abstract: A method and system for establishing a local call from a payphone by a customer through long distance carrier switches. The payphone customer dials a long distance provider primary intralata carrier (PIC) code followed by a number sequence. The local call is routed to a long distance provider switch using the long distance provider PIC code. The payphone call is then routed to a voice response unit (VRU) using the number sequence. The VRU prompts the payphone customer to select local calling from the VRU menu, enter a destination number, and to enter their long distance calling card information. The system then verifies that the customer's calling card account is active and connects the call.

Abstract: A smart card reader and transaction system which uses the voice path of a switched telephone network to effect smart card transactions are described. The smart card reader may be used with either a regular telephone or an ADSI telephone. If the telephone is not a handsfree set, the smart card reader is preferably connected between the base set and the handset. If the telephone is a handsfree model, the card reader is positioned between the base set and the switched telephone network. A smart card application server controls the smart card reader and switches it between a user mode and a card communications mode. Most applications software resides on the application server so that the smart card reader is simple to construct and inexpensive to manufacture. The advantage is a simple, portable, inexpensive yet reliable system adapted to be owned and used by the general public.
