Abstract:
A virtual environment server records and broadcasts a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), browser state information, and optionally clipping parameters, that are to be associated with a three dimensional (3D) surface in a virtual environment. When a user's Avatar encounters the 3D surface in the virtual environment, the client obtains the URL and browser state information, and obtains the web content using a standard web browser. The web content is stored into an off-screen buffer. The content from the off-screen buffer is then rendered locally as a texture map onto the 3D surface of the virtual environment. Whenever one of the users interacts with the web content, a new URL and new browser state information is used to obtain the updated web content in the same way. The new URL and new browser state information is also passed from the client to the server, so that the server may update the URL and new browser state information in each of the other clients associated with each of the other users.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a communication system capable of efficiently processing voice messages in the system without delay by improving extensibility and fault resistance performance. SOLUTION: In the communication system, a plurality of network storages NS1, NS2 are connected to a plurality of voice mail devices 151-154 via a LAN 2 and shared and a plurality of mailboxes of storage media M1, M2 connected to the network storages NS1, NS2 are shared by a plurality of mailboxes already provided in the voice mail devices 151-154. At the same time, based on conditions such as fault occurrence in each of the network storages NS1, NS2 or priorities set to the plurality of network storages NS1, NS2, the optimum network storage NS1 is selected and voice mail processing is performed on the selected network storage NS1.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for processing a call in a telephone communication system is provided to improve the call success rate by terminating one user's call connection attempt immediately and responding to the other user's call connection attempt in case that a call is simultaneously attempted between the two calling/called users. CONSTITUTION: If a calling user pushes the call button after inputting the other side's phone number(S101), a telephone communication system judges whether the terminal of the inputted phone number is in a hook-off state(S102). In case that the called terminal is in the hook-off state, the system judges whether the called user is attempting a call(S103). If it is judged that the called user is attempting a call, the system traces a phone number to which the called user tries to make a phone call(S104). Then the system judges whether the traced phone number is identical to the calling user's phone number(S105). In case that the two phones' numbers are identical, the system immediately ends the calling user's call connection attempt(S106) and makes call connection established between the two users(S107).
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A mutual call processing device between switching centers is provided to confirm mutual calls by confirming an originated number and a called number, respectively, when a calling party and a called party simultaneously call each other, and to set a communication path with the called party based on the calling party, thereby immediately connecting mutual calls. CONSTITUTION: A local line unit(100) inputs/outputs call connection request signals and communication signals. A call setup unit(200) compares a called number of a called party with an originated number of a calling party if a communication line of the called party is occupied, and sets the communication path based on the calling party if the compared numbers are identical. A number translator(300) translates and outputs paths of a local number and a receiving number. A subscriber unit(400) monitors the occupied state of the communication path by a control signal while reporting the monitored results to the call setup unit(200), and transmits a communication signal in connection with the called party.
