Abstract: Disclosed is an event notification system and a method to operate an event notification system that has servers and a subscriber unit. The method includes associating with a particular event subscription an “available” event template subscription; sending an initial notify message to the subscriber unit with a current availability of an event state of the event subscription and, for the duration of the particular event subscription, upon detecting a change in the availability of the event state sending an “available” event template notification to the subscriber unit from the event server for informing the subscriber unit of the change in the availability of the event state. The change can be from available to unavailable, or from unavailable to available.

Abstract: An event notification system includes a data communications network (18), at least one event server (20) coupled to the data communications network and at least one subscriber (12) coupled to the data communications network. The subscriber is operable to send a subscribe message to the event server, the subscribe message containing information for specifying at least one application semantic. The event server is operable to generate a first notification to the subscriber upon the at least one application semantic being satisfied and to generate a second notification to the subscriber upon a change in the specified application semantic, thereby enabling an occurrence of a substitution of the specified application semantic with another application semantic.

Abstract: A method for performing Internet call processing related to the completion of session initiation requests is provided. The session initiation requests include one or more triggers. Based on the detection of one or more triggers, a call processing entity involved with processing the session initiation request transfers call processing to one or more third parties. Each third party performs additional call processing and returns a result to the call processing entity. Based on reception of the result, the call processing entity continues processing the session initiation request. The URI of one or more third parties may be specified in the session initiation request. Also, one or more third parties may be pre-specified. A special trust relationship may exist between a terminal related to the session initiation request and one or more third parties, and the third parties may therefore perform call processing using context specific information or confidential information.

Abstract: A solution for supporting relocation of an IP session of a mobile node during a network layer handover in a mobile communication system. In the method, from the application context information on the mobile node is detected a first set of capabilities of a network node that that facilitate maintaining the IP session. This first set of capabilities is queried from one or more potential next network node. Applicability of the potential next network node to the relocation of the IP session is determined by the capability information on the first set of capabilities.

Abstract: A system and method for using a context-based dynamic speech recognition grammar generation system that is suitable for multimodal input when applied to context-based search scenarios. Dynamic context-based grammar is generated for a media stream during a post-processing period. The media stream is fed to an external automatic speech recognizer (ASR) for a specified number of frames. The ASR performs recognition of words that do not occur in common vocabulary that may be specific to those media frames. These words that are specific to the frames are sent back to the post processor, where they are fed to a dynamic grammar generator that generates speech grammars in some format, using the words that are fed to it. This grammar and other contextual information, form a new set of context data for those frames of media. The media, the grammar and other context data. is stored in a database. This is repeated for the entire stream of media, and a full speech recognition grammar can be constructed.
