A method of sending data from a first party participating in a telephone call to a second party participating in the telephone call, comprising, in the terminal of the first party, storing, as a consequence of the telephone call, identifier data that identifies the second party; using the stored identifier data to determine automatically a destination address for a data message; and sending, during the telephone call, the data message with the automatically determined destination address. A method for sending data from a first party participating in a telephone call to a second party participating in the telephone call, comprising, in the terminal of the first party: providing, while the telephone call is on-going, a user selectable option to transfer data to another party participating in the telephone call without user specification of a destination address.

Method for sending a data message during a telephone call

A method and system of providing group management for IMS conferencing services involves creating side control channels for membership control services. The membership control channel can use Client Group Management Protocol (CGMP) or alternate group management protocols. The membership channel can use HTTP, SIP, or other transport protocols. Group management protocol primitives and procedure calls can be communicated using SOAP or other XML-based protocols.

Side channel for membership management within conference control

A plug-and-play (PnP) for configuring security in a PnP architecture includes a security manager and a PnP device. The PnP device is adapted to send a device description document to a user entity. The device description document includes an address pointing to the security manager, and as such, the user entity is capable of accessing the security manager based upon the address. The security manager is adapted to authenticate the user entity, and it authenticated, to communicate with the user entity to configure application-layer security of the PnP device, whereby configuring the application-layer security includes creating an access control list (ACL) document for restricting access to a service of the PnP device. In a further aspect, the PnP device may bootstrap establishing its link-layer security with configuring its application-layer security.

Mapping functionality is added in between a Wireless Village (WV) server and a Presence, Messaging and Group (PMG) server of a 3GPP IP (Internet Protocol) Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) to permit interoperability between WV and IMS clients for instant messaging and presence services for operators who have deployed both IMS and WV. Due to the possibility that an operator may have deployed WV but not IMS and due to the use of a Client-to-Server Protocol (CSP) between WV clients and WV servers and the use of a Server-to-Server Protocol (SSP) between WV servers, the mapping functionality is structured to permit an IMS device to register into WV system via an IMS/WV Relay that performs an SIP/CSP conversion to emulate a WV device login but to then use the SSP to maintain a session or to deliver a message or presence information. Likewise, a WV device can register directly into IMS for operators not deploying WV using the mapping functionality of the present invention, e.g., in an IMS/WV Relay.

WV-IMS relay and interoperability methods

Mobile-specific services are provided to a mobile device coupled to a local area network. The local area network provides ad-hoc connectivity between consumer electronics devices. A service provider device is coupled to the local area network. A mobile-specific service is provided at least in part by the service provider device. The mobile-specific service is advertised via the local area network. The mobile device subscribes to the mobile-specific service via the local area network in response to advertising of the mobile-specific service. The mobile device utilizes the mobile-specific service via the local area network.

Providing mobile-specific services for mobile devices via ad-hoc networks

A method, and related equipment, for interoperating between a device () in a first network, such as an IMS network, and a device () in a second network (), such as a WV network, the first network using a first protocol (SIP) requiring that a message have a request uniform resource identifier including an address scheme, and the second network () using one or more other protocols. The method includes a step () of converting a message constructed according to the first protocol (SIP) but having as an address scheme indicating a protocol of the second network (such as 'wv:') to a message in which the address scheme is changed (e.g. to 'sip:') to indicate the protocol of the first network and in which a user uniform resource locator parameter is provided having a value indicating the original scheme, before conversion (i.e. &#x201c;wv&#x201d; in the example given).

Method and apparatus for routing wireless village messages in an internet protocol multimedia subsystem

A method and corresponding equipment for setting up a conference call via a communication network that uses session initiation protocol (SIP) signalling for call setup, the method including steps (EEEE) of providing during the call setup signalling to a subscriber invited to participate in the conference call an indication that the call is a conference call and including in the call setup signalling a reference to a group document indicating information about the conference call, such as the other invited participants, or including the group document itself.
