  • Patent number: 10212197
    Abstract: In a method for setting up a communication link between a first telephony terminal (PA) and a second telephony terminal (PB) in a communication network which transports data packets, in particular on the Internet, with the aid of at least one signaling Server (SA, SB), in particular with the aid of an SIP Server, the first telephony terminal informs a first signaling Server that a call is intended to be made to the second telephony terminal. The first signaling Server which has been informed or a second signaling Server which has been informed by this first signaling Server recognizes that the call is intended to be made with a particular quality of Service and sets up a communication link between the first telephony terminal and the second telephony terminal, which link corresponds to this quality of Service.

  • Publication number: 20170288977
    Abstract: A method for managing data in a communication network (10) includes a connection (20), in particular a switch, and at least one local communication terminal connected to the connection device (20). The connection device (20) is connected to or equipped with a second management information base (MIB), in which information related to the location of the communication terminal is written and is made available for use in a location-dependent service during a data management process, the location-dependent service being designed according to a discovery protocol. The data management process involves feeding the location-related information to the communication network (20) using a location information source (3) and transmitting the fed location-related information from the location information source (3) to the connection device. Across at least one section of the transmission path, the fed location-related information is transmitted according to the discovery protocol.

  • Patent number: 9335829
    Abstract: In a method for capturing and transmitting motion data (s1) from a transmitter (103, 203) to a receiver (104, 204), motion data is captured by a capturing device (102, 202) at the transmitter end, said capturing device (102, 202) registering the motion of an object (106, 206) by means of at least one sensor (101, 201) and converting the registered motion into a digital signal (i2). Said digital signal is fed to the receiver, which embeds the data of the digital signal (i2) in a series (i3) of data and transmits said series of data to a receiver. In addition to or instead of the data of the digital signal, the series of data transmitted by the transmitter contains context data which the receiver uses to interpret and process the originally captured motion data within a defined context.

  • Patent number: 9148514
    Abstract: After the input of a subscriber (TLN1) of the first terminal (EG1), a connection to a temporarily available voice memory (SPS) is signalized by the same, and subsequently a voice message (spn) and at least one piece of retrieval information (ai) identifying the second terminal (EG2) is transmitted and stored at that location. Subsequently, the connection is terminated and the second terminal (EG2) is informed of the presence of a retrievable voice message (spn) in the voice memory (SPS) via the voice memory (SPS) by means of the at least one piece of retrieval information (ai), and the voice message (spn) can be retrieved from the second terminal (EG2) by means of the transmitted retrieval information (ai), or is transmitted to the second terminal (EG2) by the voice memory (SPS). In this manner voice messages (spn) can be stored for terminals (EG2) and retrieved by the same, regardless of whether one or no voice memories—such as an answering machine—is associated with these terminals (EG2).

  • Patent number: 8885622
    Abstract: A location information (li) which is available in a mobile terminal device (ME-T) and which indicates the geographical location of the terminal device (ME-T) is embedded in messages (m) of a SIP protocol (SIP) which are exchanged between the terminal device (ME-T) and the network (WLAN) during the establishment of a session and/or during a session and/or during the registration of a terminal device (ME-T) in the network (WLAN), e.g. LAN or UMTS, or during request of a service or a function. By advantageously complementing the SIP protocol (session initiation protocol), the location information can be transmitted from a mobile terminal device (ME-T), which optionally has a telephone function, to the network (WLAN) in any signaling state, thereby substantially reducing the economic outlay for implementing the transmission of location information (li) to the network (WLAN).
