  • Patent number: 8218471
    Abstract: An apparatus connected to a communication terminal and for relaying a call between communication terminals. This apparatus includes a relay determiner, a priority determiner, and a relay controller. The relay determiner determines whether if a new call can be relayed based on the communication capacity, when there is a relaying request of a new call from a communication terminal or to a communication terminal. The priority determiner determines the priorities of a call that is being relayed and a new call based on the pre-configured policy. The relay controller may allow the relaying request of a new call by stopping the relaying of any existing call having a lower priority than the new call among the calls that are being relayed.

  • Publication number: 20100067486
    Abstract: When a mobile station moves from a communication area of a first access point to a communication area of a second access point, an information processing device provided for the second access point functions as an extraction device, a request device, and a communication device. The extraction device extracts first access point identification information identifying the first access point from a connection request message received from the mobile station. The request device requests the first access point to transmit the control information relating to the communication of the mobile station using the first access point identification information. The communication device establishes a link to the mobile station using the control information acquired from the first access point.

  • Patent number: 7328020
    Abstract: A method and apparatus of changing the number of calls in a multicall communication mode including detecting an occurrence of handover, transmitting a special message having inserted therein call-number changing information regarding the increase or decrease of a number of calls to a switching center as a connection destination connected by handover, transmitting the special message to inform a number of calls capable of being supported to a mobile terminal, receiving a reply regarding a desired call to be maintained selected from a plurality of calls, and rearranging the handover process so the desired call is maintained in connection while the call not desired is disconnected. Thereby allowing the user of the mobile terminal to select a desired call to be maintained when handover is executed under the congested state condition in the communication system which hinders smooth handover from one switching center to another.

  • Publication number: 20070121834
    Abstract: A communication service information providing method is comprised the step of storing both a plurality of communication services which are subscribed to by a subscriber and are made of plural sorts of information representation media, and identification information capable of selectively utilizing the communication services so as to establish a communication, and the step of notifying both the communication service subscribed to by a subscriber that wants to establish a communication, and the identification information corresponding to the communication service to a calling terminal in response to a request issued from the calling terminal. With employment of this structural step, it can acquire and/or confirm both the communication service subscribed to by the subscriber of the communication counter party and the identification information, or the identifier corresponding to this communication service.

  • Publication number: 20060258363
    Abstract: [Object ] Provides a method for controlling service priority in radio communication network capable of performing priority control to plural services based on a priority specified by mainly a subscriber. [Means to Achieve the Object ] A method for controlling service priority among plural services in a radio communication network capable of providing plural services to a terminal unit of subscriber at the same time, comprising the steps of: requesting to a radio control apparatus for a service by the terminal unit; and assigning a radio band to the service by the radio control apparatus; and wherein, if the radio band falls insufficient in the step of assigning the radio band, the radio control apparatus performs the priority control to plural services consisting of adjusting the radio band to be assigned to each service based on a predetermined standard.
