  • Patent number: 7417994
    Abstract: A protocol gateway for setting up multimedia sessions between a first terminal, using a first protocol (for example H.323), and a second terminal, using a second protocol, said first protocol requiring the determination of a master, which protocol gateway is characterized in that it has available to it means for forcing said first terminal to assume the role of master.

  • Publication number: 20030156568
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of selecting multimedia data coding formats in a communications system having at least two terminals suitable for exchanging multimedia data. Each terminal has a set of coding formats listing the formats which it is capable of processing in reception and formats which it is capable of applying to multimedia data in transmission. Prior to any exchange of data between two terminals, each terminal sends its set of coding formats to the other terminal via a server. According to the invention, the server is connected to code format conversion means and, where necessary, it enlarges each set of coding formats received from a terminal as a function of the conversion means available to it, prior to forwarding the possibly enlarged set to the other terminal. In this way, the coding and decoding abilities of terminals in the system are enriched virtually, thereby reducing the number of calls that fail.
