Abstract

Abstract To produce a telecommunications system and terminal equipment, which brings about immediate action for important incoming calls. User information in an incoming call is evaluated according to predetermined criteria, and a message is sent to the recipient at his current location. The data received as a result of an incoming call are evaluated by a data processing installation or a telecommunications terminal, and a message is dispatched. The message reaches the called party, who is able to retrieve and view all of the data on another communications installation.

Claim 10
Dependent Claim 48 words
A telecommunications system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the data processing terminal (PC) is a computer under software control to check the predetermined criteria, to check names or telephone numbers of a calling subscriber, and to check data contents for signal values and passwords of access-entitled subscribers.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 133 words
A telecommunications terminal equipment (B1) having a data processing terminal (PC) connected thereto, that evaluates in accordance with predetermined criteria (Ref1, Ref2) user information (DAT1, DAT2; text, data) received by the telecommunications terminal equipment (B1) as a result of an incoming call (In), and that controls a transmission of a message (Out) to at least one other telecommunications terminal equipment (B2, C) if the predetermined criteria (Ref1, Ref2) is fulfilled, wherein the data processing terminal (PC) receives data as user information assigned to different data fields (DAT1, DAT2), and wherein the data processing terminal (PC) only evaluates a part of the user information by comparing the data from only one, two or a few of the data fields (DAT1) with reference data (Ref1), which are specified according to the predetermined criteria (Ref1, Ref2).
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 133 words
