Patent number: 9537960Abstract: A solution making it possible for one telecommunication network operator (10?) to act as intermediate distributor or administrator of a content provider (60) for a multitude of operators (20) is presented. The content provider (60) has a single relation to the central operator (10?), in turn having relations to other operators (20). It is thus possible for the content provider (60) to reach all users (30) of all operators (10?, 20) through a single relation to that operator (10?). The content provider (60) provides service content, e.g. media content. A list of targeted users (30) or subscribers is compiled. The central operator (10?) collects necessary subscriber attributes (80), such as position, device information and access properties, from the other operators (20). The content is modified according to the collected attributes (80), and the content is distributed to the subscribers (30) in the best possible way.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2005Date of Patent: January 3, 2017Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Jerker Widmark, Rolf Blom, Steinar Dahlin, Clary Hallberg Dahlin

Patent number: 7966404Abstract: A system, comprising various methods and apparatus providing a transparent communication session setup and control for communication sessions involving different communication capabilities, is disclosed. The system receives a request for a communication session at a proxy apparatus, the request being originated from a first subscriber to the communication session using a first group of terminals. The system identifies at least a second subscriber to the communication session using a second group of terminals. The system evaluates types of communication being available for the first group of terminals and at least the second group of terminals on the basis of the request. The system sets up terminal sub-sessions from the proxy apparatus to the first group of terminals and to at least the second group of terminals according to types of communication being available for the first group of terminals and at least the second group of terminals.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 2001Date of Patent: June 21, 2011Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (Publ)Inventors: Jan Hedin, Frank Hundscheidt, George Vergopoulos, Jerker Widmark, Stefan Leupers

Publication number: 20100111272Abstract: A broker node is provided, acting as an intermediate administrator for all operators during service content distribution. A content provider has a single relation to the broker. This broker has in turn relations to a number of other operators. The content provider provides the communication content. A list of targeted users or subscribers is compiled by the broker. Preferably, the broker collects necessary subscriber attributes, such as position, device information and access properties, from the other operators. The communication content is preferably modified according to the collected attributes and the content can subsequently be delivered to the subscribers in a best possible way. The broker collects payment from the subscribers and reimburses the media content supplier. In a first aspect, the broker is a distributor and payment administrator for service content. In another aspect, the broker is a mediator of use of inter-operator relations to a third-party content provider.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2010Publication date: May 6, 2010Applicant: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Steinar Dahlin, Rolf Blom, Jerker Widmark

Patent number: 7043248Abstract: A system and method for routing an incoming telephone call to a mobile terminal (106) which is a combined cordless phone and mobile phone. The call will be connected over either a fixed network (104) or a mobile network (102) depending on whether the mobile terminal is within or out of radio coverage of a home base station (110) connected to the fixed network. The call is routed in response to a routing indication which is included in the called number of the mobile terminal depending on the location of the mobile terminal. In this way, network operators may direct calls over the fixed network in preference to the mobile network, thereby relieving the mobile network. A single telephone number can also be used for the combined cordless phone and mobile phone.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 2003Date of Patent: May 9, 2006Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Magnus Hallenstål, Steinar Dahlin, Jerker Widmark

Patent number: 6856612Abstract: A method and system for communicating information includes evaluation regarding routing of calls performed at a call control point in an ITSP and/or wireless network. A PIC identity associated with another party's preferences is acquired and sent to the call control point. The PIC identity identifies the type of the carrier network (e.g., circuit switched or VoIP) and is used to make further routing decisions. If a circuit-switched carrier is identified, the IP homing leg is terminated at the voice gateway in the recipient's HPLMN and information is sent over to the GMSC where normal, circuit-switched routing procedures. If a VoIP carrier is identified then the called user's roaming number is retrieved from the HLR, and the call is further routed directly over the IP domain towards a voice gateway at the visited network minimizing the number of transcodings. Additional transcoding steps can be avoided if a single encoding is agreed upon according to “tandem free operation” (TFO).Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2000Date of Patent: February 15, 2005Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Frode Bjelland, Karl Hellwig, Frank Hundscheidt, George Vergopoulos, Jerker Widmark
