Abstract: An apparatus and a method for a client to server deployment via an online distribution platform can include a mechanism to update at least part of a system software or server-side software via a parallel client software update. Online distribution platforms such as mobile application stores can be utilized in embodiments of the apparatus and method to provide not only the client update, but also the system software update in the underlying system (e.g. server-side version).

Abstract: If telecommunication devices in a group are associated with different network technologies, a use status of one telecommunication terminal in the group is still transmitted to a second telecommunication terminal of the group. Thus, for example, a busy signal is output by one device of the group even if the telephone call is conducted using another telecommunication terminal of the group.

Abstract: A method of providing a recent call list of calls recently received or initiated by a telecommunications device where information on recent services which are services recently handled by or using the telecommunications device other than calls are incorporated as entries in a recent call list of the telecommunications device. Each entry can be formed by a data structure being composed of a plurality of data fields. Each data field can include a data value. An entry representing a recent service other than a call in the recent call list can include a service code identifying a recent service as a data value. A device, system, and apparatus can be configured to utilize or execute the method.

Abstract: An improved apparatus for audio and/or video communication includes first input means for calling another apparatus for audio and/or video communication, and second input means for terminating a call. The apparatus is configured to assign a first functionality to the second input means and a second functionality different from the first functionality to the second input means. Activation of the first and second functionality is dependent upon a status of the audio and/or video communication.
