Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a communications system for setting up a communications connection between the communications terminals of a calling A-subscriber and a B-subscriber of a communications system who is being called, especially of a fixed telecommunications network and/or a land mobile network and/or an internet protocol-based computer network or a combination of these networks.
  • At least one subscriber number or other identification which is assigned to the B subscriber is transmitted as a parameter for setting up the communications connection to the communications system.
  • This is the known, conventional procedure for setting up a communications connection, for example a telephone connection, between the calling A subscriber and the called B subscriber.
  • terminal-based software applications are moreover a priori subject to certain restrictions.
  • the terminal for example does not have a connection to the network, calls do not arrive, and a terminal-based evaluation fundamentally cannot take place in this time.
  • Dynamic call forwarding in which the number of the destination is not statically defined, but for example depends on the caller number, fundamentally cannot be implemented with a terminal-based software application since the mechanisms for call forwarding are in the network.
  • the software application on the terminal can fundamentally evaluate only that information which is present on the terminal of the callee.
  • the software application on the terminal cannot directly access information about the caller or callee which is only in the network.
  • the software applications which have been available for a long time moreover support only the viewpoint of the callee, i.e. of the B subscriber.
  • the corresponding programs are not available. If there were such programs, they would however of course be subject to the same restrictions as just described.
  • the object of this invention is to overcome the described disadvantages.
  • the communications connection is set up between the terminals of the users. This means only the set-up of a communications connection between two or more users, in the simplest case it is a matter of the call of the A subscriber (caller) at the B subscriber (callee), for which the A subscriber dials the telephone number of the B subscriber.
  • the method as claimed in the invention can be used both in the fixed network and also in the mobile radio telephone service and in computer network-supported communications such as Internet telephony, so-called "voice-over-IP". Use is also possible when a communications connection is set up using different network types and/or technologies.
  • the communications connection can be a line-switched or packet-switched voice or data communications connection such as for example a voice connection, E-mail, DvI, SMS, MMS between the A and B subscribers.
  • the design as claimed in the invention is network-based.
  • a design is devised whose advantages can be used by the user with any terminal, regardless of whether it is a current model of the most recent generation or even an older model which is no longer marketed today.
  • the user can also easily change his terminal; without time or other restrictions the functionalities of the network-based design are available to him even after changing equipment.
  • terminal-based software applications moreover are only available for mobile terminals for use in land mobile networks
  • this invention can be implemented not only in mobile radio telephone service, but also easily in the fixed network. Administration takes place preferably web-based and can therefore be individually and reliably undertaken by the user in a comfortable manner.
  • the idea of the invention moreover depending on the version enables consideration of information in the network, for example the network status of the callee, location information or presence information of the caller and of the callee so that functionalities can be implemented which in principle could not be implemented terminal-based.
  • information in the network for example the network status of the callee, location information or presence information of the caller and of the callee so that functionalities can be implemented which in principle could not be implemented terminal-based.
  • static and dynamic data and data files which are stored on the system side by the user or which can be accessed in some other way can be considered.
  • a user can profit from these designs both in the role of the callee and also the caller.
  • the subscriber number and/or identification of the calling A subscriber is transmitted to the communications system and is used alternatively or cumulatively to the subscriber number of the B subscriber for database interrogation for the stored configuration data.
  • desired reactions can be controlled and influenced depending on the subscriber numbers and/or identifications of the caller and/or of the callee can take place. It is possible to consider one or both subscriber numbers and/or identifications and other parameters.
