Abstract: A mobile terminal device, when detecting that a display state of a screen transitions from non-display to display, starts a scanning operation of searching for an access point. If an access point of the same access point identification information is found successively a given number of times N, the mobile terminal device suspends the scanning operation of searching for an access point. If movement of the mobile terminal device is detected subsequent to suspending the scanning operation of searching for the access point, the mobile terminal device resumes the scanning operation for the access point.

Abstract: A server, upon receiving a request to complete a call over a packet-switched network, looks up an address on the packet-switched network on a local table. If the local table does not contain a matching address, the server asks a routing server to identify a receiving server address. The routing server identifies a suitable address and sends a message to the originating server containing the address. The routing server may consider such factors as the volume of calls currently being handled by various potential receiving servers in selecting a receiving server. The receiving server then receives, via the packet-switched network, a message requesting a telephone connection to a second telephone device. Before completing the connection to the second telephone device, information in the message representing the address of the device on the packet-switched network that originated the message is identified. The address information is compared to selected predetermined addresses for permitted origins of the message.
