Abstract: A multimedia data construct called a tag (FIG. 5) may be stored and transferred. A user can use multimedia content, to create content portion of a tag (502). The multimedia file is then incorporated into the tag or it can be referenced by a pointer in the tag (530). The multimedia file is artistic expression of the user and the tag uniquely associates the user's identity with the multimedia file by prohibiting alteration of the content after the user completes its creation. The tag includes at least one dynamic indicator that may be changed based on one or more predefined rules upon transmission. The tag may include an ID, that may be based on subscriber information. Encryption techniques may be employed to protect privacy concerns so that such subscriber information is not freely available.

Abstract: A terminal for controlling communication can include a receiving unit configured to receive a key to be assigned to a requesting terminal for communication, a processing unit configured to include an indication of assigned communication keys, and a transmission unit configured to transmit the communication request to a communication control functionality.

Abstract: A short-range wireless system and method is disclosed to store and transfer a new type of multimedia data construct called a tag. A user can write text, create a voice clip and append it to the text, take a digital picture and append it to the text, to create a multimedia file as the content of a tag. The creation or modifying of the multimedia file can be done in the user's mobile wireless device or off line and then stored in the mobile device. The multimedia file is then incorporated into the tag or it can be referenced by a pointer in the tag. The multimedia file is artistic expression of the user and the tag uniquely associates the user's identity with the multimedia file by prohibiting alteration of the content after the user completes its creation. A content-originator flag (CFG) value in the tag is set to “false” during the period when the user is creating or modifying the tag's content.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for connecting a subscriber apparatus or subscriber's network to a mobile network, wherein a network element is placed between a mobile network and a subscriber apparatus or subscriber's network. The network element emulates the appropriate interface towards both the mobile network and a subscriber apparatus or subscriber's network that are attached to the network element. The network element is assigned the task to switch and, if necessary, concentrate calls between the mobile network and subscriber's network. In addition, the network element advantageously comprises a database block that stores the subscriber data needed by the mobile network, which data correspond to subscriber apparatus in the subscriber's network connected to the mobile network.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an arrangement and a method for providing access between a number of user stations connected by ratio via a number of radio base stations (RFP) and a switching arrangement (LE) of a telecommunications network. At least one access network (AN) is provided and it connects to the switching arrangement (LE) over at least one interface. A radio access network (DRAN) comprising a number of base stations (RFP) is provided which also comprise the access network (AN). An address field of the addressing mechanism of the existing in (V5.1) between the access network (AN) and the switching arrangement (LE) is so structured that it comprises a first part for addressing base stations (RFP) and a second part for addressing/identifying selected bearer channel on the existing interface (V5.1).

Abstract: The procedure and system of the invention are used to implement a technical application from which all uncontrolled internal interdependencies have been eliminated. The functional assemblies contained in the application are normalized so that the input data of each functional assembly unambiguously and alone determines the output data produced by the assembly. Further, according to the invention, the elements contained in the functional assemblies are normalized so that the input data of the elements unambiguously and alone determines the output data. There may be one or more elements or functional assemblies. Further, a functional assembly may form other functional assemblies. In an embodiment of the invention, the application implemented is a part of a telephone exchange software application in which the functional assemblies and elements are of an algorithmically processing type.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of setting up conference calling in a communications system. In the method, at least one subscriber group having two or more subscribers is established in a server connected to the communications system; subscribers registered in the set up group chat with each other by messages in such a manner that the server in the communications system receives a message of a subscriber participating in the message chat and transmits it on to other subscribers belonging to the group in question. In the method, it is also possible to move from message chatting to conference calling by one of the subscribers in the subscriber group sending a pre-defined message to the server, which message acts as a signal to the server to move to conference calling; the server sets up a conference call between the subscribers registered as active in the subscriber group in response to receiving said pre-defined message.
