Abstract

The invention relates to a method, a communication system, and a communication device for transmitting data (MAIL) to a first subscriber, whereby, within the framework of a connection signalling (CALL) from a first primary service communication device (EG1, TC1) of the first subscriber to a second primary service communication device (EG2, TC2), a primary address information message (RUNO1) associated with the first primary service communication device (EG1, TC1) and a secondary address information message (EMAIL1) associated with a first secondary service communication device (EG1, TC1) of the first subscriber is transmitted to the second primary service communication device (EG2, TC2). The transmitted address information messages (RUNO1, EMAIL1) are identified and stored by means of the primary service communication device (EG2, TC2). For the transmission of data to be transmitted (MAIL) to the first subscriber, the stored secondary address information message (EMAIL1) is transferred from the second primary service communication device (EG2, TC2) to a second secondary service communication device (EM2, 25 EM4), and is transmitted on the basis of the transferred secondary address information message (EMAIL1) during transmission to the first secondary service communication device (EM1, EM3).

Method, communication system and communication terminal device for transmitting data

In known speech communication systems, a call number of the calling communication device is frequently signaled when a connection is established from a calling communication device to a called communication device, which number can be displayed on a display of the called communication device. Such Sprachkommunikati ^¬ onssysteme example, ISDN-based lay Vermittlungsan ^¬ (ISDN: Integrated Services Digital Network) and this can be coupled ISDN telephones, the switching equipment in the public telephone network or private communication networks of companies or organizations can be arranged. In addition, a transmission and display of incoming numbers is also common in mobile communications.

In addition, modern communication devices often allow, in addition to the display on the display, the end device-specific storage of transmitted telephone numbers and other connection data of incoming connections in call lists. In such call lists, lists of caller numbers of received answered and / or unanswered calls are frequently stored.

When using call lists for known another communication connection of the called communication device can tion devices usually be triggered by means of the ten in the Anruflis ^¬ stored connection data to the originally calling communication device. Such a further connection setup is usually initiated manually by the called subscriber, by the display and via an input means to the originally called communication device from a Call list, an entry is selected, and for this the further connection establishment is triggered. In this way, for example, a subscriber who recognizes that he has been called in the absence can easily call back the original caller.

Another well-known communication service is an e-mail communication in which a subscriber - using an e-mail address for addressing - can transmit a text-based message to another subscriber. An e-mail address as the transmission destination can thereby beispielswei ^¬ se from a previous e-mail traffic, to which the other participants was involved, are applied.

The present invention is based on the object

Specify a method and a communication terminal for more flexible use of various communication services. Another object is to provide a communication system for carrying out the method.

This problem is solved by a method according to patent claim ^¬ 1, by a communication system according to claim 10 and by a communication device according to claim 11.

Advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

In the method according to the invention for transmitting data to a first subscriber, the first subscriber is assigned a first primary service communication device for communication via a primary communication service and a first secondary service communication device for communication via a secondary communication service, in particular different from the primary communication service. In the method according to the invention, the first primary service communication device is a primary address information and the second secondary service communication device assigned a secondary address information, wherein in the context of a connection signaling from the first Primärdienstkommuni- cation device to a second Primärdienstkommunikation- onseinrichtung, the primary address information and the secondary address information to the second Primärdienstkommu- nikationsseinrichtung by means of the primary communication service are transmitted, and by the second Primary service communication device detected the transmitted primary and secondary address information and stored to each other in an address book stored. For the transmission of data to the first subscriber, the stored secondary address information is transferred from the second primary service communication device to a second secondary service communication device. Furthermore, the data to be transmitted is transmitted via the secondary communication service to the first secondary service communication device on the basis of the transferred secondary address information.

In the invention, it is particularly advantageous that the secondary address information is transmitted via the primary communication service, and is therefore available to the second primary service communication device and / or the second secondary service communication device, without a complicated and possibly erroneous manual or electronic determination - for example via a database or communication directory is required at the second primary service communication device and / or the second secondary service communication device. In addition, it proves to be advantageous that a

Transmission of data to the first subscriber via the second communication service to the secondary address information is made possible, in which the second communication service from the first communication service and / or the secondary address information may differ from the primary address information. In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the primary communication service can be provided for bidirectional voice, video and / or multimedia communication, preferably based on a circuit-switched or packet-oriented real-time protocol. Additionally or alternatively, the secondary communication service may be for unidirectional messaging via text, voice, video and / or multimedia data, in particular based on a protocol for non-real time communication or based on a protocol for

Real-time communication with lower real-time requirements - be provided. Preferably, the secondary communication service is e-mail, in particular according to Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) or text message in a push process, in particular instant messaging, in which text messages are transmitted to a recipient terminal for instant display ,

In addition, in a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the primary address information by a telephone number, an IP address (IP: Internet Protocol) an E.164 number according to ITU-T recommendation (ITU-T: Telecommunication Standardization Sector of International Telecommunication Union), a URI (Uniform Resource Identifier) of a Voice over IP service or an identifier according to ENUM (ENUM: telephone number mapping) of a Voice over IP service. The secondary address information may be represented by an e-mail address or an instant messaging identifier. In particular, the secondary address information may be address information that is meaningless in a previous primary communication service and is not usually transmitted.

In an advantageous development of the invention, the transfer of the stored secondary address information from the second primary service communication device to the second secondary service communication device and / or the Transmission of the data to the first Sekundärdienstkommunikation- onseinrichtung by detecting a selection of an entry in the address book by the second primary service communication device or the second Sekundärdienstkommuni- cation device triggered.

In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the address book can be configured as a connection list, as a call list and / or as an e-mail address book, in which each incoming and outgoing connections to a

Communication device associated with a phone number of the communication partner can be stored. The call list or connection list can be restricted to connections that meet a certain criterion. This criterion may, for example, be an assumed state of the compound - e.g. assumed, rejected - the direction of communication - e.g. incoming, outgoing and / or time information - e.g. for a list keeping separately by calendar days. The entries in the address book can be permanently or even temporarily saved and deleted after certain or indefinite intervals. Furthermore, the address book can be configured as an e-mail address book or contact list in which, for example, an association between e-mail addresses and phone numbers can be performed. In addition, the address book can be provided in particular by the second primary or second secondary service communication device or by a server device.

An embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail with reference to a drawing.

This show in a schematic representation of the

Figure 1 shows a communication system with two terminals, via a telephone network for voice communication and two further terminals coupled via a data network for e-mail communication, and

Figure 2 shows a communication system with two, each comprising a primary and a Sekundärdienstkommunikationsein- direction terminal equipment coupled via a data network.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show, in schematic representation, a communication system for carrying out the method according to the invention for transmitting data to a first subscriber. In FIG. 1, the first subscriber is assigned a first telephone EG1 as the first primary service communication device and a first e-mail client EMI as the first secondary service communication device. The first telephone EGL can be coupled via the telephone network PSTN via a primary communication service to other telephones - in particular to a second telephone EG2 as a second primary service communication device. This second telephone EG2 is assigned to a second subscriber, who is also assigned a second e-mail client EM2 as a second secondary service communication device. In Figure 1, said terminals EG1, EMI, EG2 and EM2 are shown as rectangles.

By means of the second e-mail client EM2, the second subscriber can establish an e-mail communication as part of a secondary communication service to the first e-mail client EMI of the first subscriber via a data network IPNW. The coupling between the two e-mail clients EMI and EM2 takes place in particular packet-oriented, preferably using the IP-based SMTP protocol, and is shown for clarity in Figure 1 as a dash-dotted line SMTPV. The coupling between the first telephone EG1 and the first telephone EG2 takes place in the present embodiment in a line-oriented manner and is represented by a solid line TV. Other components of this embodiment are a first, circuit-oriented procedures-applying switching ^¬ plant PBXL for control and administration of the first telephone eGl, a first database PBXDBl which is coupled to the first switching system PBXL, a second Vermitt ^¬ treatment plant PBX2 for coupling to the second telephone EG2 and a second database PBXDB2 the facility to the second switching ^¬ coupled PBX2. Let it be assumed that the exchanges PBX1, PBX2 and the telephones EG1, EG2 communicate with each other by means of an ISDN protocol or an ISDN-based protocol. In Figure 1, the switching systems PBXL, PBX2 are shown as rectangles, the databases PBXDBl, PBXDB2 are stylized as a cylinder. The coupling between the first exchange PBX1 and the first telephone EG1 is represented as PBXK1, between the first exchange PBX1 and the first database PDBXDB1 as DBK1, and is shown as solid lines. Analog representation and designations PBXK2 and DBK2 are used between the second telephone EG2 and the second switching system PBX2, and on to the second database PBXDB2.

In addition, an address transfer unit AE, a receiving unit REC, a recognition unit EE and a

Memory controller SE as components of the second telephone EG2 schematically illustrated as rectangles within the second telephone EG2. The Kommunikati with a ^¬ onseingang of the second telephone EG2 coupled Empfangsein- fullness REC particular object of signaling an incoming connection - for example, from the first telephone eGl - with transmitted as part of the call signaling address information received to. By means of the recognition unit EE coupled to the receiving unit REC and the memory control unit SE, the address information received by the receiving unit REC is recognized as primary and secondary address information and stored in memory Transfer address book memory controller SE. The memory controller SE stores the recognized primary and secondary address information associated with each other stored in the address book. The address book is configured in FIG. 1 as a call list RUFLIST provided in the second database PBXDB2, in which all incoming calls are stored. The communication between the memory control unit SE and the second database PXBDB2 takes place in the present exemplary embodiment via a control input of the second telephone EG2 via the

Coupling PBXK2 to the second switching system PBX2 and further via the coupling DBK2 to the second database PBXDB2, wherein the control input may be identical to the communication input in alternative embodiments.

If the arrangement of the communication devices - as indicated in Figure 1 - in such structured such that the first telephone and EGL of the first e-mail client EMI a origin ^¬ the second telephone EG2 and the second e-mail client EM2 associated communication system and a destination communication system are, then the address book is characterized in that it is arranged in the destination communication system, during which the first database PBXDBl belongs to the originating communication system.

The address transfer unit AE also has, like the memory control unit SE, a coupling to the control input of the second telephone EG2. On this one stored in the call list entry is RUFLIST by the address transfer unit AE - in particular the secondary addressin ^¬ formation of the entry - is read out and transferred via a coupling to the second e-mail client EM2.

The coupling between the second telephone EG2 and the second e-mail client EM2 is shown in dashed lines by a CTI coupling CTIK, where CTI stands for "Computer Telephony Integration" and means for controlling and / or for Query of the second telephone EG2 by a computer application, such as the second e-mail client EM2 or provides by another communication device. As the underlying CTI communication protocol, for example, the CSTA protocol (CSTA: Computer Supported Telephony Applicati ^¬ on) be provided. An optional coupling between the first telephone EG1 and the first e-mail client EMI is not important in the context of the exemplary embodiment and is therefore not shown.

A communication and / or messages in the context of the inventive method are illustrated in Figure 1 by single or double arrows. Furthermore, in the exemplary embodiment, an assignment table ZUORD stored in the first database PBXDB1 is provided for an assignment of telephone numbers and e-mail addresses of terminal devices administ ^¬ by the first switching system PBXl. The assignment table ZUORD is shown in the drawing as a two-column sheet with the headings RUNO for stored numbers and EMAIL for saved E-

Illustrates mail addresses. The allocation table contains in FIG. 1 a value pair RUNO1 and EMAIL1, as well as points indicated by further value pairs for further subscribers or terminal devices.

Furthermore, in Figure 1, the caller list RUFLIST is illustrated as a multi-column sheet. The data of the incoming communication stored therein are, in particular, the incoming communication time (referred to as DATE), the caller's telephone number of the incoming communication (referred to as RUNO), an associated e-mail address (referred to as E-MAIL) of the subscriber and a transmitted display name of the caller (referred to as NAME). As a possible initial state, the caller list RUFLIST is empty. The illustrated in Figure 1

Values of the caller list RUFLIST are values that are only entered during the course of the procedure. The numbers given in the figures as primary address information and e-mail addresses as secondary address information designate addresses for identifying communication devices, and are used for a

Destination determination, a routing or a data routing used in a particular communication service. It should be noted in particular that the e-mail addresses have no significance for addressing in the primary telephony communication service. The e-mail addresses are non-service addresses of the primary communication service and are not used in this, and according to the invention without changes by located in the signaling path components to the receiving communication device - here the second phone EG2 - transmitted.

Initial situation in Figure 1 is a rest state for all the aforementioned communication devices EGL, EG2, EMI, EM2. Based on this, a connection attempt to the second telephone EG2 is triggered by the first subscriber on the first telephone EG1. As part of this connection attempt determines the first exchange PBXL or the first phone EGL for a phone number RUNOl - as the primary address information - the first phone EGL an associated e-mail address EMAILl - as secondary address information - the first party by querying the assignment table ZUORD in the first database PBXDBl. In the assignment table ZUORD such assignment pairs are configured and / or administ ^¬ ration. If there is an entry in the assignment table ZUORD for the telephone number RUNO1-as is assumed in the present exemplary embodiment by the illustrated value pair RUNO1-EMAIL1 in the assignment table ZUORD in FIG. 1 -the e-mail address EMAIL1 associated with the telephone number RUNO1 and determined to the first switching system PBXl and / or to the first telephone EGl by means of the message ABFR. Thereupon, a connection signaling for the first telephone EG1 is initiated by the first telephone EG1 or by the first switching system PBX1 to the second telephone EG2 via the connection TV. For addressing and / or network path control of the connection signaling, a telephone number RUNO2 assigned to the second telephone EG2 is used. The connection signaling is referred to below as CALL, where it is shown in the figure as a directed arrow in the direction of the second telephone EG2. As a notation, the destination address - here the phone number RUNO2 of the second telephone EG2 - subscript and specified in the connection ^¬ signaling, relevant in the context of the invention address information in brackets as parameters. According to the invention, in addition to the telephone number RUNO1 of the first telephone EG1, the determined, associated e-mail address EMAIL1 of the first subscriber is additionally transmitted by the first telephone EG1. The e-mail address EMAIL1 is transmitted from the first telephone EG1 to the second telephone EG2, in particular in the case of a connection setup signal from the first telephone EG1 or a subsequent signaling triggered by a return message from the second telephone EG2. The transmission takes place depending on the underlying transmission system, for example in the D channel or a subscriber-to-subscriber signaling segment (so-called user-to-user signaling) of an ISDN connection or in a protocol element of a packet-oriented telephone connection by means of SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) of the IETF working group (IETF: Internet Engineering Task Force) or by means of ITU-T Recommendation H.323. For the transmission of the number RUNOl already provided protocol ^¬ elements can be used, which are transmitted, for example, in a signaling by means of CLIP (Calling Line Identification Presentation) anyway to the called terminal.

The received second telephone EG2 and / or the second switching system PBX2 detects as a result of the incoming Signaling the data transmitted in the call signaling CALL - in particular the phone number RUNOl and the email address EMAILl - and stores the phone number RUNOl and the email address EMAILl associated with each other after transmission SPE to the second database PBXDB2 in the

Caller List RUFLIST. Such an entry is indicated in FIG. 2 in the caller list RUFLIST, the column values for the columns DATE and NAME as well as further caller list entries being indicated only by dots.

In the further course of time, the second subscriber can now accept the incoming call signaled by the call setup signaling. Alternatively, the first party may terminate the incoming call before the second party answers the call. This distinction and further processing steps in the context of the call are not relevant in relation to the invention and therefore will not be further elaborated.

The transmission of the e-mail address EMAIL1 in the context of the connection TV can, in a specific embodiment of the invention, take place in a signaling segment actually intended for another purpose, for example in the segment for the transmission of a display name. In this case, in particular the beginning and the end of the e-mail address EMAIL1 can be marked in this signaling segment in such a way that the e-mail address EMAIL1 is recognized and extracted by the second telephone EG2 on the basis of the marking without actually entering this segment data structure intended for transmission is lost.

In a time-subsequent process step, the second subscriber can trigger a callback to the first telephone EG1 by triggering a callback function on the second telephone EG2. Alternatively, an e-mail transmission to the first e-mail client EMI can be prepared by a user action on the second telephone EG2 or on the second e-mail client EM2 become. By the latter user action - for example, pressing a button on the second phone EG2 or triggering a button or menu selection on a user interface on the second phone EG2 or on the second e-mail client EM2 - the reading is OFF the previously stored entry with respect to the phone number RUNOl and the e-mail address EMAILl initiated from the call list RUFLIST, wherein the address transfer unit AE of the second telephone EG2 via the CTI coupling CTIK the previously assigned to the number RUNUl stored e-mail address EMAILl to the second e-mail client EM2 transmitted (message UEB in Figure 1).

By the second email client EM2 then a blank email window opens on writing an e-mail in which the determined for the address field E-mail address emaill eingetra ^¬ is gen. After an additional, manual entry of an e-mail text as data to be transmitted, the second participant can send the e-mail to the first participant. If the second e-mail client EM2 recognizes the triggering of the e-mail transmission, an e-mail MAIL is then sent as SMTP

Message over the data network IPNW sent to the first e-mail client EMI. The addressing takes place via the registered e-mail address EMAIL1, which was originally transmitted in the connection signaling from the first telephone EG1 to the second telephone EG2. As a notation, in FIG. 1, a subscrip- tion of the address - here EMAIL1 - with respect to the message - here MAIL - is used again.

In the manner described above, the second subscriber can transmit data to the first subscriber via an alternative communication path. This is particularly advantageous if the second telephone EG2 or the second switching system PBX 2 do not have access to the belle Zuordnungsta ^¬ ASSIGNM. In conventional communication systems, this is the case if, as in the present embodiment, a coupling between the first and the second telephone EG1, EG2, via a public or private telephone network is carried out over which a proprietary access to the arranged in the first database PBXDBl assignment table ZUORD is not possible.

The caller list RUFLIST is advantageously stored in the second switching system PBX2 or in the second telephone EG2 as a caller list or as an address book. Alternatively, moreover, the call list can be stored in an e-mail address book of the second e-mail client EM2. Furthermore, further call-related data can be stored in the caller list RUFLIST, which can be inserted automatically in addition to the email address in the e-mail, for example in the ^Betleize le or in the e-mail text. A transmission of an entry of the caller list RUFLIST to the e-mail client EM2 can preferably be triggered by activating an entry in the caller list RUFLIST by displaying and selecting this entry on the second telephone EG2. In the caller list RUFLIST is preferably to facilitate the selection in addition also transmitted name information NAME of the first

Telephone EGL stored, which is transmitted in known signaling for the announcement of a display name to be displayed on a display partially anyway to the called terminal.

It should be noted that in conventional communication ^¬ systems a telephone connection is often switched via one or more exchanges. The illustrated direct transmission from the first telephone EG1 to the second telephone EG2 is therefore to be regarded as merely a simplified abstraction. Similarly, in Figure 1 means for CTI coupling and e-mail transmission or e-mail storage - such as the use of e-mail mailboxes and e-mail servers - not further illuminated, as this the understanding of the invention is not considered essential. 2 shows an alternative embodiment of the invention is illustrated, wherein the various components and procedural ^¬ rensschritte the same embodiment in Figure 1 and will therefore not be explained again. In contrast to FIG. 1, in FIG. 2 a coupling is carried out between the first primary service communication device and the second primary service communication device via an IP network IPNW. The first secondary service communication device and the first primary service communication device as well as the second secondary service communication device and the second primary service communication device are applications on a workstation. In this case, the first workstation PC1 comprises in particular a telephone client TCl-usually designed as a so-called soft client-as the first primary service communication device and a third e-mail client EM3 as the first secondary service communication device. The second subscriber is assigned a second workstation PC2, which comprises a second telephone client TC2 and a fourth e-mail client EM4. Server devices needed for a telephony application such as the telephone clients TCl and TC2 are not shown in Figure 2 for simplicity. The only server component is the LDAP (LDAP: Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) LDAP, which, like the first workstation PCl, is located in a local network of the first user. In this case, the LDAP database LDAP adopts the assignment table ZUORD known from FIG. 1, which is written and updated by means of a communications service present in the local network (not shown). In particular, the LDAP database LDAP usually stores invariable communication data - such as telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, postal addresses - from many or all participants of a company, department and / or organization. In particular, a telephone number E-mail address value pair RUNOI-EMAIL1 is stored in the assignment table ZUORD, together with further entries indicated by dots. The second telephone client TC2 of the second workstation PC2 is coupled to a call list database RDB which comprises the caller list RUFLIST known from FIG. 1 and which, analogously to the second telephone client TC2, is an integral call

Component of the second workstation PC2 represents. At the beginning of the procedure, the caller list RUFLIST is empty, or contains entries that are not important to clarify the method and are indicated in Figure 2 only by dots.

The process of the invention is now in a manner analogous to Figure 1. Triggered by initiating a connection and by dialing the destination number RUNO2 the second telephone client TC2 on the first telephone client TCI a query ^¬ message AM to the LDAP database LDAP is sent, in order to determine an e-mail address EMAIL1 assigned to the telephone number RUNO1 of the first telephone client TCl. With this determined e-mail address EMAIL1 is then established by the telephone client TCl Rufaufbausignalisierung CALL to the second telephone client TC2 via the signaling path SIGPF, in particular the number RUNOl the calling telephone client TCl and the associated, from the LDAP Database LDAP determined e-mail address EMAILl is transmitted. The second telephone client TC2 then stores the transmitted

Address data RUNOl and EMAILl in the caller list RUFLIST of the call list database RDB. The address data RUNO1 and EMAIL1 are possibly transferred together with further data by means of the message traffic SPEL to the call list database RDB. The state of the caller list RUFLIST then corresponds to the state shown in FIG. 2 with a common data record for the telephone number RUNO1 and the email address EMAIL1 - as well as further values indicated by dots only for further data record fields and further data records. Downstream, triggered by a user ^action on the second workstation PC2, an e-mail text message can be opened and displayed on the fourth e-mail client EM4, the previously stored e-mail address EMAIL1 being read out of the call list RUFLIST by query ABSA and is transmitted to the fourth e-mail client EM4 for filling a destination address field of the e-mail text message by means of an interprocess message INM of the second workstation PC2. The e-mail text message is now available for further processing on the fourth e-mail client EM4 for the second subscriber. A user action on the fourth e-mail client EM4 allows the e-mail prefilled with the e-mail address to be transmitted to the set e-mail address EMAIL1 at a later time. In the present embodiment, the e-mail text message is transmitted by means of a message MAIL by addressing to the destination e-mail address EMAILl to the first workstation PCl and in particular to the third e-mail client EM3 due to the user ^¬ action. In this way, the first participant receives from the originally called, second

Participants information in an alternative representation - text rather than language - an alternative Übertra ^¬ transmission protocol - an e-mail protocols such as SMTP instead of a voice protocol.

The method presented in FIG. 2 is particularly advantageous if, due to the network structure through the second workstation PC2, no access to the LDAP database LDAP can take place. This is especially the case when the LDAP database uses LDAP in a non-public

Address space is configured (and thus the second work ^{¬ place} computer PC2 LDAP database LDAP can not address) or is protected by a firewall against access from outside a local network. A coupling between the respective telephone client and e-mail client of a workstation preferably takes place via inter-process communication. Alternatively or in addition For e-mail transmission, an instant messaging service can also be used as a secondary communication service.

In addition to the arrangements shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the invention can also be used without restriction in other, more complex system arrangements. For example, a line-oriented ISDN telephone as the first primary service communication device and a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) connected via WLAN (Wireless Digital Network Assistant) can be available to the sending subscriber as the first secondary service communication device, while the second subscriber can use an IP-based telephone as the second Primary service communication device and a over the LAN wiring (LAN: Local Area Network) coupled to the Internet workstation are assigned as a second secondary service communication device. In such an arrangement, in particular, a transition between ISDN-based and IP-based telephone network, as well as a transition from a line-based to a radio-based data network are provided.

Depending on the implementation of the transmission of the secondary address information from the first primary service communication device to the second primary service communication device - for example, by extending an existing signaling protocol or otherwise, usually unintended use of existing protocol elements - may be simple protocol adjustments or conversions in to provide the components such as gateways, gatekeepers and / or exchanges located in a signaling path of the connection signaling.

In the figures, the primary and secondary service communication devices are terminal devices. A restriction on terminal equipment but is not given because the method can also be used without changes on server devices. For example, an automatic e-mail notification may be provided, which is triggered by a server component as a second primary or secondary service communication device on the basis of the incoming connection signaling.

The invention can be extended further, that an e-mail with a situational E-mail text - may be influenced by pre-defined rules - automatic ^¬ table can be generated. This can be used, for example, to automatically inform the first subscriber after a predetermined period of time that the second subscriber has not yet polled the call list or any recorded voice message during the time span and thus has not performed any actions possibly requested by the first subscriber ,

In addition, for the transmission of data to the first participant by means of an e-mail or an instant

Messaging message advantageously information about the previous call signaling - for example, the time at which the call signaling took place, whether the connection was not answered or the connection was rejected because of a busy condition, whether a

Message on the answering machine was left - to be included in the user text. In this way a semantic connection to the previous attempt to connect can be established.
