A method is provided for transmitting notification messages for submission of multimedia messages to telecommunications devices embodied as multimedia message sinks, wherein to reduce the effort involved in transmitting notification messages and the associated administration effort in an entity sending the notification message on submission of multimedia messages to telecommunications devices embodied as multimedia message sinks independently of their multimedia capabilities, a service center responsible for sending the notification messages transmits on submission of multimedia messages in a notification message a first notification information which is preferably binary coded, and a second notification information which is preferably embodied as text information, uniformly to different variants of telecommunications devices as regards their multimedia capabilities.

Method for transmitting notification messages on submitting multimedia messages to telecommunications devices embodied as multimedia message sinks

The present application discloses an apparatus, system and method for reducing the time required for transmitting a multimedia message from any sender to any addressee and thus generally cut the cost of the multimedia message service. A traffic channel connection is kept to a receiving telecommunication device, which is established by a multimedia message service center that has received a multimedia message designated by a transmitting telecommunication device for said receiving telecommunication device, for example, in order to transmit an information message to the receiving telecommunication device during an SMS session by means of which the multimedia message service center informs the receiving telecommunication device about the arrival of the multimedia message, established for at least the period of time it takes the receiving telecommunication device to evaluate the received information message and hold an MMS session for fetching the message content of the multimedia message designated for the receiving telecommunication device from the multimedia message service center.

In order to achieve simple, user-friendly 'smart home' scenarios in a telecommunications system in the context of the transmission of textual, audio, video and/or control data between a data source and a data sink, a mobile element of the telecommunications system generates control commands and transmits the latter in a target manner in message traffic between the units that form part of the wireless communication or telecommunication process via the air interface. The mobile element is preferably configured as a cordless telephone handset or a mobile telephone. Textual, audio, video and/or control data that has been stored in the data source is detected, issued, released or externally transferred to a data sink or issued to a data source with the aid of the control commands.

In order to couple further telecommunications terminal end points automatically to a hybrid telecommunications system&mdash;in particular an RNT-specific telecommunications system to which a telecommunications terminal end point is connected, an interface structure is in each case created in the telecommunications interfaces between a public telecommunications network and a DECT/GAP-specific RNT system of the hybrid telecommunications system, This interface structure is constructed in such a manner that each telecommunications interface autonomously, for example in accordance with a predetermined calculation algorithm, forms further connection information that is relevant for the telecommunications connection to the other telecommunications appliances, irrespective of the respectively other interface, This is based on first connection information which is stored in the interface and is relevant for the telecommunications connection to one of the telecommunications terminal end points.
