  • Patent number: 9742817
    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 signalling Server (SA, SB), in particular with the aid of an SIP Server, the first telephony terminal informs a first signalling Server that a call is intended to be made to the second telephony terminal. The first signalling Server which has been informed or a second signalling Server which has been informed by this first signalling 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: 20160174239
    Abstract: A telecommunication system and a method for generating a real time connection between a first endpoint and a second endpoint in an IP network using an ICE STUN connectivity check follow a procedure that includes the steps of generating a list of possible connection paths between the first endpoint and the second endpoint, establishing a respective priority for each possible connection path included in the list, and generating the real time connection between the first endpoint and the second endpoint. During this procedure first there is an attempt to generate the real time connection using the highest-priority connection path. If this is not possible, then the system attempts to establish the real connection using the connection path with the next highest priority, until the real time connection is actually established. Furthermore, for each possible connection path, its respective quality-of-service value is determined and is considered when establishing its priority on the list.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20160043931
    Abstract: There are described packets transmitted via the first connection path comprise a first packet propagation time. Said packets are temporarily stored in a first intermediate memory of a receiver unit. The packets transmitted via the second connection path comprise a second packet propagation time and are temporarily stored in a second intermediate memory of the receiver unit. All packets stored in the first step in the first intermediate memory are emitted. Subsequently, packets stored in the second intermediate memory are emitted. According to a first embodiment, each xth packet stored in the second intermediate memory is rejected. According to a second embodiment, the output of the packets stored in the second intermediate memory is carried out in a compressed manner.
