Abstract: The invention relates notably to a method for handling calls received from a radio communication network at a wireless mobile terminal, the wireless mobile terminal comprising at least one short-range interface for communicating with office devices located under the range of the short-range interface, According to the invention, the method consists in: identifying at the wireless mobile terminal office devices located under the range of the short-range interface and able to handle at least one call type belonging to a list of predefined call types; upon reception of a call from the radio communication network at the wireless mobile terminal, the call having a call type belonging to the predefined list, selecting an office device able to handle the call type; and forwarding the call to this office device.

Abstract: A telephone installation includes an analogue telephone, an Internet connection terminal adapted to be connected to the Internet via a telephone network, and connecting means for connecting the telephone to the Internet connection terminal. The connecting means include switching circuits for connecting the telephone to the Internet connection terminal to enable the telephone to send and receive analogue format voice signals respectively to and from the telephone network. The installation also has means for receiving orders via the telephone network. The connecting means can be controlled by orders issued by a server to cause the telephone to be connected to the terminal.

Abstract: System for checking the consistency of software applications executed on several data processing devices (12, 13) coupled to a network (11), where a descriptor file is generated when a software application (14) is executing in the data processing devices (12). This descriptor file is stored in a consistency check client unit (23) which sends the descriptor file to a consistency check server (19). When the data processing device (12) receives a request from the consistency check server (19) which checks the consistency of all the software applications (14, 15, 16, 17, 18) installed in the data processing devices (12, 13), with the help of a reference database (25).

Abstract: The invention provides a WAP server (20) connected to a radiotelephone network (18) and to at least one switch (22; 24) of said radiotelephone network. The server includes means for receiving calls or requests from mobile telephones (10A; 10B). On the basis of these calls or requests, a switch of the radiotelephone network (22; 24) modifies the routing of calls coming from the mobile telephone (10A; 10B) or going to the mobile telephone (10A; 10B). By way of example, the switch may enable a call to a fixed telephone to be transferred to a mobile radiotelephone.

Abstract: The invention refers to a data terminal activation and control device (16), a WAP server and a method for enabling a WAP radiotelephone terminal (20) to remotely activate and control a distant data terminal (14). The data terminal (14) is coupled to the activation and control device (16) by means of a data transmission network (26). The activation and control device (16) is coupled to the radiotelephone terminal (20) across a radiotelephone network (24).

Abstract: An object of the invention is to provide services available on a private network (14) to a user of a mobile terminal (12) connected to a public or private mobile network (10). To this end, the invention provides a telecommunications gateway (22) which is connected between the exchange of the private network (14) and the mobile network. The gateway converts signaling data from the exchange (16) of the private network (14) to a format compatible with a protocol enabling transmission of information and services to and from a mobile terminal, for example the wireless application protocol. It then sends the converted signaling data to the mobile terminal (12) via the mobile network. In the reverse direction, the gateway converts signaling data from the mobile terminal to a format compatible with the exchange and transmits the converted signaling data to the exchange. The invention enables use of services of the private network—call forwarding management, calling by name, etc.—from a mobile terminal.

Abstract: The invention relates notably to a wireless corporate communication system comprising a private branch exchange, at least one base station coupled with the private branch exchange, and a plurality of corporate radio terminals under the range of the base station,

Abstract: The invention relates notably to a method for handling calls received from a radio communication network at a wireless mobile terminal, the wireless mobile terminal comprising at least one short-range interface for communicating with office devices located under the range of the short-range interface,

Abstract: The invention relates to a reduced redundancy facsimile transmission installation which includes at the transmission end means which form run length words from the binary data analysis of a document.In accordance with the invention, at the transmission end, an array of combinatorial logic circuits (26), preferably of the PLA type, is programmed to transcode run length words into other words, using a truncated Huffman code and, at the receiving end, arrays which are also preferably of the PLA type provide inverse transcoding.Application: facsimile transmission.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a facsimile transmission installation adapted to allow rapid transmission of the contents of forms. In accordance with the invention, various types of blank forms are memorized and the transmission equipment includes a comparator connected to a memory and to an analysis circuit and allows the transmission of a facsimile signal which represents only the data added on the analyzed filled-in form and the reception equipment includes a text regenerator which operates from a transmitted facsimile signal and from a signal which comes from its memory.

Abstract: Installation for the remote transmission of facsimiles, comprising a telecopy transmitter device connected by a telephone line to a telecopy receiver device and comprising two buffer memories adapting the transmission speed of the line to that of the transmitter and to that of the receiver respectively. The buffer memories are each constituted by a multi-track magnetic tape driven by a motor controlled by a time base having high stability; the buffer memory on the receiver side comprises, moreover, an electronic assembly, between the magnetic tape and the telecopy receiver device, intended for compensating short-term changes in speed of the tapes.

Abstract: Copying and telecopying device using a mechanism ensuring the analysis of a document by a scanning beam which, transmitted from the document, is sent to a drum coated with selenium. According to the invention, the equipment is completed by a laser source whose beam can be directed along two parallel incident paths, to a helical mirror, one of the beams being used for the analysis of the document and the transmission of the information at a distance, the other beam being modulated by a facsimile signal and being directed onto the drum coated with selenium.

Abstract: This system is provided for the field of electronic facsimile transmitting of a picture and relates more particularly to the compression of data to reduce the number of bits to be transmitted at a given resolution of the picture. Compression is effected by a correlation of neighbouring points of the picture by omitting, at the transmitting end, one point in four on two adjacent lines and by restituting it at the receiving end by means of a relatively simple Boolean function which takes into account the structure of the characters used in that picture. That first compression may be combined with a second compression due to the coding of the length of a white range.
