According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a method, in a telecommunication system, of processing a communication event associated with a subscriber of a communication network, the method comprising: obtaining context data relating to the subscriber, and in response to receiving the communication event, the telecommunications system processing the communication event in accordance with one or more rules generated by the telecommunications system based on the obtained context.

Context-based event processing

Presented is a method and system for using the Simple Network Management Protocol, SNMP, to manage a hierarchical information base comprising a plurality of entries each defining one or more object attributes. The method comprises mapping each of a plurality of objects of an SNMP Management Information Base, MIB, to a unique attribute of the information base.

Method and system for managing a hierarchical information base with an application layer protocol

According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a system for establishing a communication between a first party and a second party, comprising: a data receiving subsystem for receiving from a third party details of the first and second party; and control logic for establishing a communication between the first and second party using the details supplied by the third party.

Method and system for establishing communications

According to one embodiment of the present invention there is provided a communication method comprising the steps of making a determination in respect of at least initiating a first call between first and second communication devices having first and second contact numbers respectively; said making the determination comprising identifying at least one of the first and second contact numbers associated with said initiating, accessing a database comprising at least a first monitored contact number and at least one associated third party number corresponding to a third communication device, determining whether or not at least one of a first contact number and the second contact number match the first monitored contact number; and establishing, in response to the determination, a third party call to the third communication device.

Communication system and method

A method of determining information relating to one or more users of one or more communication devices in a communication system comprising receiving a request for information, retrieving data relating to an association between communication devices and users identified in the request, obtaining presence information relating to communication devices in the communication system, and supplying the information, the information being determined in part on the obtained presence information and in part on the retrieved association data.

A network device includes a web server chip that is connectable to a computer network. The web server chip includes an embedded processor that is programmable to function as a manageability web server, obtain manageability information about the network device and send the manageability to a network manager. The web server chip further includes an interface for communicating with an IC bus in the network device. The embedded processor is programmable to obtain manageability information about devices connected to the IC bus. The embedded processor is also programmable to control fan controllers, power supply controllers and other controllers connected to the IC bus. This, in turn, allows a network manager to command the web server chip to remotely power up and power down the network device. Thus, the web server chip can perform network management functions without burdening the host processor of the network device. If network communications are performed via HTTP, the embedded processor can be programmed to implement an HTTP server, and the network manger can use a web browser and HTML files to run network management software.

Web server chip for network manageability

A method of selectively sending a DTMF tone from a terminal to a first or a second destination, wherein the terminal sends a signal comprising at least one DTMF tone to an intermediate module prior to distribution to the intended destination, comprising: receiving the signal at the intermediate module; analyzing the nature of any DTMF tones in a portion of the received signal to determine the intended destination thereof; and sending a DTMF tone corresponding to the DTMF tones in the received signal to the determined destination.

DTMF control

A chip for a device such as a computer includes a media access controller and an embedded processor. The embedded processor is programmed to function as a web server and provide network manageability information to a network manager. The embedded processor is also programmed to function as a LAN controller. When a packet is received by the media access controller, the embedded processor examines a destination address of the packet and routes the packet to an appropriate end point. Packets having a first unique destination address are routed to a host interface (and eventually to a host processor), and packets having a second unique address are routed to the embedded processor-functioning-as-web server. Thus, the chip allows network management and local area network communications to be performed over a single physical interface.
