Patent number: 9071461Abstract: In a telecommunications system, in which a connection comprises a part with an interworking function at both ends, a channel is allocated to the connection between the interworking functions. The required channel capabilities may vary during the connection, whereby the channel capabilities should be changed. When the first interworking function detects that a channel capability must be changed, a first message, which indicates the desired capability change, is transmitted (2-1) to the second interworking function; and the channel capability is changed (2-3,2-5) into the desired one at both ends of the part.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2010Date of Patent: June 30, 2015Assignee: Wi-LAN, Inc.Inventors: Kirsi Maansaari, Marko Kokko

Publication number: 20050129191Abstract: The invention provides a method, system, terminal, server, and computer program product for providing or programming a call response function, preferably a voice mail function, in a communication network which includes a call response server having a storing means. The method, terminal, system, and computer program product comprise the steps of preparing or providing, in the terminal, a programming media message, such as an MMS message, which includes response content, preferably audio content. This programming media message is transmitted from the terminal to the call response server which stores the response content of the media message. When a call or session request of another terminal directed to the terminal is forwarded to the call response server the response content is played or transmitted to the another terminal.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 5, 2004Publication date: June 16, 2005Inventors: Marko Kokko, Kirsi Maansaari
