Abstract: In a telecommunication system comprising multiple switching nodes (10, 20, 30) having a respective local server (C1, C2, C3) and associated terminals (D1, D2, D3, D4) located within a network and a central DSS server (DSS) for controlling the telecommunication system by using a general switching protocol, the terminals (D1, D2, D3, D4) of a switching node (10, 20, 30) are controlled by the local server (C1, C2, C3) under a local protocol comprising control commands for node-internal call pickup.

Abstract: A computer implemented method can include sending additional information concerning an upcoming event to a conversion unit for generation of an appointment reminder for the upcoming event that is to be sent to one or more endpoints. A telecommunication platform can process the appointment reminder to send a visual and/or audible signal to a user via one or more endpoint devices so that the reminder can be processed and responded to via at least one of the endpoint devices.

Abstract: A method of monitoring of monitor objects in a computer-integrated telecommunications environment can include, at an initial start-up phase: upon a first-time establishment of an association between a first computing device and a switching device using a communication link, sending a first message from the first computing device to the switching device to request an identification for all monitor objects that are to be monitored by the first computing device; and in response to the first message, sending a second message from the switching device to the first computing device. The second message can refer to a third message to follow. The third message can be sent from the switching device to the first computing device that refers back to the second message and includes a list of all monitor objects allocated to the first computing device.

Abstract: A method for optimum utilization of a queue for calls is provided in a telecommunication system and is controlled by an application, as well as an appropriate telecommunication system. Each call that is in the queue has a particular queue property and can be assigned to an agent, to a two-way announcement that is played by an announcement memory and that is capable of interaction with a call, or to remain in the queue. The method is distinguished in that a call assigned to a two-way announcement is allocated a parameter that causes the queue property of the call to be retained.

Abstract: We provide a computer-implemented method for automatic transfer of an upcoming event, which is stored in an event-processing entity (20) of a client (30) assigned to a user, through an interface to an endpoint (60, 80) assigned to the user, comprising the following steps: the client (30) sends first additional information concerning the upcoming event to a conversion unit (40), the conversion unit (40) generates an appointment reminder for the upcoming event and sends the appointment reminder to a telecommunication platform (50), the telecommunication platform (50) processes the appointment reminder, generates a signal, and sends the signal to the endpoint (60, 80), wherein the signal is adapted to the endpoint (60, 80) and is preferably an audible and/or visual signal, and the endpoint (60, 80) processes the signal and the first additional information, in order to accept or reject the first appointment reminder as a result, and sends that result back to the client (30).

Abstract: A method for establishing a telecommunications link (C1, C2, C3) for a user to whom a first communications terminal is allocated. According to said method, an allocation information is made available to a control program running on a server for establishing the telecommunications link in which information a first allocation is defined for the first communications terminal as specified by the user. The first allocation can define an allocation of a second communications terminal to the first communications terminal. The telecommunications link can be established in accordance with the first allocation, using the second communications terminal instead of the first communications terminal. The allocation information can include a second allocation by which the first communications terminal can be signaled as being the only terminal used by the user in the established telecommunications link.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for establishing a telecommunications link controlled by a control program with a second communications terminal according to which a CTI service is made available to a first communications terminal by a CTI server in a CTI domain allocated to the CTI server and the second communications terminal is located outside the CTI domain and by way of a proxy situated within the CTI domain that is linked to the CTI server. The control program is linkable to the CTI server by way of an intermediate functional unit that can signal to the control program that the second communications terminal instead of the proxy is linked into the established telecommunications link as the telecommunications terminal. The intermediate functional unit can instruct the CTI server to carry out the CTI service on the proxy in accordance with the control program.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for establishing a telecommunications link (C1, C2, C3) for a user to whom a first communications terminal (D1) is allocated. According to said method, an allocation information is made available to a control program (100, 22) running on a CTI server (20) for establishing the telecommunications link (C1, C2, C3), in which information a first allocation (72, 92) is defined for the first communications terminal (D1) as specified by the user, said first allocation defining an allocation of a second communications terminal (D3, D4) to the first communications terminal (D1). The telecommunications link (C1, C2, C3) is established by the control program (100, 22) in accordance with the first allocation, using the second communications terminal (D3, D4) instead of the first communications terminal (D1).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for establishing a telecommunications link (C1, C2, C3), controlled by a control program (28), with a second communications terminal (D1), according to which a CTI service is made available to the first communications terminal (36) by a CTI server (20) in a CTI domain allocated to said CTI server (20), and the second communications terminal (D1) is located outside the CTI domain and by way of a proxy (Trk2) situated within the CTI domain is linked to the CTI server (20). The control program (28) is linked to the CTI server (20) by way of an intermediate functional unit (30, 32). The intermediate functional unit (30, 32) signals to the control program (28) that the second communications terminal (D1) instead of the proxy (Trk2) is linked into the established telecommunications link (C1, C2, C3) as the telecommunications terminal.
