| 20120020470 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR COMMUNICATION FORWARDING - For enabling the forwarding of communication requests directed by callers to callees who are subscribers of a carrier network ( | 01-26-2012 |
| 20110281553 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR LOCATION-DEPENDENT BILLING FOR SERVICES - A method for location-dependent billing for a services that are available to a mobile terminal, a local communication connection is set up to a fixably installed external location tag with a corresponding wireless interface between the fixably installed tag and the mobile terminal, the method including the steps of accessing the external location tag and transmitting a billing rate code from the external location tag to the mobile terminal, forwarding the billing rate code from the mobile terminal to a central unit of a mobile communication network, in which the mobile terminal is logged, determining a geographic location identification of the external location tag by evaluation of the billing rate code at the central unit, and selecting a billing rate for billing for the service available to the user based on the billing rate code at the central unit. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20110227012 | CABLE PUSHER GUIDING SYSTEM, METHOD AND DEVICE - A steerable head for guiding a pusher rod through ducting. The pusher rod is then used for drawing cables, wires, lines or pipes through the ducting. The steerable head includes remotely operable mechanisms for steering the rod through junctions or around obstacles in the ducting. In a further refinement, the steerable head includes a coupling mechanism adapted to co-operate with a corresponding coupling mechanism mounted on a second rod, thereby allowing the pushing of rods through longer or more obstructed ducts. | 09-22-2011 |
| 20110227010 | INSERTION DEVICE FOR A CABLE IN AN EXISTING PIPE NETWORK - An insertion device for a cable in an existing pipe network includes a longitudinally stable flexible element that can be inserted into a pipe region of the pipe network, and on which a head part can be placed. The head part can be diverted to pass through regions of bends of the pipe. Placed on the flexible element is a coupling part to which coupling part the cable to be pulled can be coupled. The head part includes a base body having an elongated shape, which can be led from a stretched position into a bent position. The base body includes guide elements by which at least one pulling element is guided that is spaced apart from the bending axis of the base body. One end of the pulling element is held at one end region of the base body, whereas the other end is held at a drivable linear drive that is attached at the other end region of the base body. Disposed at the end region, remote from the flexible element, of the head part are a light source and a camera. With this device, bends, elbows, and branches in an existing pipe network can be passed through in the desired direction without a problem. | 09-22-2011 |
| 20090156231 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING A LOCATION AREA OF A MOBILE USER - A computer system determines location probabilities for defined sub-areas ( | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090156230 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LOCATING A MOBILE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL IN A GEOGRAPHICAL AREA - A computer system determines and stores antenna probabilities for defined sub-areas ( | 06-18-2009 |
| 20080293356 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR REQUESTING AND RENDERING AUDIO CONTENTS - Order requests for playing audio contents and/or video contents are transmitted by way of communication transmission apparatus ( | 11-27-2008 |
