Abstract: The present invention proposes a method for managing tasks of a given recipe to be carried out by at least one operator in a regulatory environment, whereby the operator receives from a computer system voice commands to execute the tasks of the recipe, the operator executes the tasks, the operator verbally reports to the computer system on the task execution and The task execution is verified by the computer system.

Abstract: The invention relates to providing network access to separate virtual private network.

Abstract: A method for deploying a service in a communication network by performing the steps of: invoking a service deployment engine by a request for the service, retrieval of deployment templates, retrieval of service deployment policies, determination of a current configuration of at least one network element involved in providing the service, and selection of a deployment template from the retrieved deployment templates based on the service deployment policies and configuration. Further, a method for configuring a network element via a network element controller through the intermediary of a network element proxy.

Abstract: A method and related apparatus for connecting first and second user-terminals to one another over a network (e.g., the internet) containing a plurality of user-terminals and a plurality of respective network access servers. When the second user-terminal connects to its respective network access server, this network access server sends connection information to the subscriber data server which updates its database with this connection information. The subscriber data server handles an incoming call request, from a first user-terminal connected to a first virtual private network, to establish a connection between the first user-terminal and the second user-terminal that is connected to a second virtual private network. The subscriber data server at first searches in its database for connection information of the second user-terminal and then determines the respective network access server that is connected to the second user-terminal based on the determined connection information.

Abstract: The efficiency of processor systems—pc-modem-gateway—for allowing users contacting service systems via access systems comprising stored service system codes defining and allowing access to these service systems and comprising stored user profiles related to service system codes, can be increased by, in response to download signals, downloading service system codes from the access systems to the processor system and storing these downloaded service system codes in the processor system's memory. Then users have these service system codes available in their processor system. The storing of downloaded service system codes may be temporarily, in case of the processor system generating access signals, and the access systems in response generating download signals, or may be for a longer period, in which case both said service system codes stored in the access systems and downloaded service system codes stored in the memory should be synchronized.

Abstract: The invention relates notably to a method for enabling a user registered in an Network Access Server as already connected to a Virtual Private Network to communicate with at least a communication device not belonging to the Virtual Private Network. The Network Access Server enables access over a data communication network to the communication device as well as to a plurality of Virtual Private Networks.
