Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To overcome the restriction of a conference at both of a public exchange telephone network(PSTN) and its external network by supplying a conference server with a link to an external network for the PSTN. SOLUTION: A new element exists in a conference control center and is related with at least a data route. This center 2a includes a conference managing system 20a and a conference server system 30. The system 30 is a computer system which is maintained and managed by the PSTN and suited to communication, and includes connection 31 to a conference managing system such as the system 20a. By rough integration with the call managing resource of the PSTN, the system 30 becomes capable of controlling a service relatively executed to a conventional PSTN conference connection in response to a signal sent through the external route of the PSTN. The example of the external route of the PSTN is the external connection 32 to a web.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide signal continuity and safety in the case of the accidental interruption of a laser beam. SOLUTION: At a transmission end, a main laser generates a beam and the beam is surrounded by a low output protective beam generated by a pulse laser. In a receiver, a lens system is provided with a main lens for receiving a main laser beam and the annular set of surrounding divided lenses functioning as the set of parallel receivers for the peripheral protective beam. A trigger circuit is connected to the parallel receivers. During an operation, the protective beam isolates the main laser beam and detects interruption. When the protective beam is interrupted at a certain spot in the longitudinal direction of the beam, one or more parallel receivers are interrupted, signals are generated by the trigger circuit, a return laser is activated and main laser performance is changed (including the shutdown of the beam). When shutdown is performed, the present stream of bits or packets to the main laser is buffered and stored.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow a device to control wide variety of services by allowing PSTN users to make communication with a call management resource via a network at the outside of a public switched telephone network PSTN and a device adaptive to communication with the call management resource. SOLUTION: A customer's computer 30 directly communicates with a system 31 that is a TAI component of a telephone station and of a PSTN via a public data network 32 at the outside of the PSTN and servers 33, 34 managed by the PSTN. The server 33 is a data server linking to an external data network. The server 34 acts as a firewall server that protects the system 31 being a service management system of a telephone company against an illegal access from an unauthenticated person and that interacts with the server 33. The arbitration by a service personnel in charge is eliminated by a function of a component in the system 31, and a customer executes a desired revision of a service or a function with a computer and a web 32 via the servers 33, 34.

Abstract: A system arrangement and method are disclosed for determining location of a wireless mobile unit involved in a call for public emergency assistance (e.g. a "911" call). The system is cost-effective in that it makes extensive use of existing telecommunication infrastructures, and does not require either special hardware or software at either the mobile unit site or the emergency assistance center handling a call. The system features shared use of a computer and specially defined database among a plurality of mobile switching offices serving a larger plurality of mobile base stations, the latter serving an even larger plurality of antenna and transceiving sites within predefined cellular regions. Signal strength measurements at the base stations are passed through the switching offices to a shared computer, and the latter uses the measurements to calculate a small area for which it would be practical to conduct a search if the mobile unit user requiring assistance is unable to help in determining his/her location. The calculated area and database are used to furnish the emergency assistance center handling the call with a detailed mapping of the calculated area, highlighting specific features (terrain, buildings, signs, etc.) that could be used to question the caller in a manner likely to produce responses from which the caller's location could be either precisely fixed or at least narrowed to a small part of the mapped area.

Abstract: A conference server system, for internal use in the public switched telephone network (PSTN), links to public data communication networks (e.g. the Internet) for distributing computer displayable data between participants in voice telephone conferences. The server system includes a computer sub-system for storing data generated by the participants and distributing the data in coordination with voice presentations of respective participants. Data so stored and distributed includes computer-displayable data. Other data handled by the computer subsystem represents commands and functional requests issued by participants which pertain to the handling of computer-displayable data and voice parameters of the conference. conference participants, having separate and concurrent access to both the PSTN and the data network, receive and view computer-displayable data prepared by one of the participants in coordination with the respective voice conference. The conference server system connects to voice conference management resources of the PSTN in a manner enabling the server system to control voice parameters of a voice conference in response to data requests received from participants (e.g. requests from hearing-impaired participants for enhanced audio service), as well as enabling the conference management resources to control functions performed in respect to distribution of displayable data in response to spoken requests uttered by the participants, when the telephone system contains appropriate speech recognition equipment.

Abstract: A video processing personalization system or server (VPPS) coupled to at least one source of video 17-19 and audio content and to at least one end user unit for providing a personalized perspective of a broadcast event. The VPPS includes a receiver for receiving composite video signals representing more than one than one perspective of the broadcast program. An input 350 receives signals representing a selection of at least one perspective of the broadcast program; and a transmitter presents the selected perspective or perspectives to an end user. The VPPS can be implemented at various points along the distribution route from the source to the user (viewer). As shown, video inputs 17-19 from three cameras are used to provide a composite image in store 200. According to the camera location/angle/zoom setting selected by the end user, a UPP 320-325 provides the derived image from the composite image in store 200.
