Abstract: A method of controlling the operations and display mode of an optical disc player between a user agent mode and a video playback mode. The method comprises reading a program stored on a local optical disc that may include a function that specifies the video playback mode as the operations mode for the optical disc player. In the video playback mode, in one case a user agent menu is displayed while displaying video menu, while in another case, video menu can be displayed while running the user agent menu in the background. The program may include a second function that changes the operations mode of the optical disc player to user agent mode where the user agent menu is displayed in the foreground of the displaying device. In one embodiment, these functions change the operations mode while also disabling the user control interface to prevent a user from changing the operations mode.

Abstract: A system and method of providing seamless playback of video data and corresponding user agent data in an optical disc player. The method entails transferring a logical unit of video data from a source to a track buffer while not transferring user agent data, and then transferring user agent data from the source to a user agent buffer while not transferring video data. Another method entails transferring video data from a source to a track buffer concurrently with the transfer of user agent data from the source to a user agent buffer. Yet another method entails using two optical disc reading mechanisms to simultaneously read synchronized video data and user agent data. Another method relates to using pointers to associate video data with user agent data to provide synchronized displaying of both types of data.

Abstract: A method of controlling the operations mode of an optical disc player between a user agent mode and a video playback mode. The method comprises reading a program stored on a local optical disc that may includes a function that specifies either the user agent mode or the video playback mode as the operations mode for the optical disc player. Once the function is read, the operations mode of the optical disc player is changed to the specified mode. In one embodiment, the function changes the operations mode while also disabling the user control interface to prevent a user from changing the operations mode. In another embodiment, the function changes the operations mode of the optical disc player without disabling the user control interface, thereby allowing a user to change the operations mode of the optical disc player.

The event can be generated by the video playback module, the user agent module, the interaction application, or by a device external to the optical disc player.

Abstract: A method and system are disclosed for extending the directory number of a terminal. The invention allows service providers to provide a service which uses an existing subscriber directory number and effectively extends it to include one or more other directory numbers. To the subscriber, the terminals associated with the other directory numbers effectively look like virtual extensions. The method and system provide this flexibility without requiring any additional personal numbers being assigned to the subscriber. The subscriber can choose to have all incoming calls to a directory number (DN) of one of their existing terminals alert or ring one or more other terminals having a different DN. The terminals may for example be on the same network (e.g. all on the wireline network) or they may be on different networks (e.g. one on the wireline network and one on the wireless network).

Abstract: An interworking proxy is coupled to first and second mobile switching systems and translates between first and second management protocols used by the first and second systems, respectively. The first system requests service for a mobile user using the first management protocol. The proxy receives the service request and translates it from the first management protocol to the second management protocol, and then transmits the translated service request to the second system. The second system provides a response to the service request using the second management protocol. The interworking proxy receives the response and translates it from the second management protocol to the first management protocol, and then transmits the translated response to the first system.
