Benefits of technology

This approach optimizes network resource management by ensuring connections are set up only when both network and terminal resources are available, preventing unnecessary resource reservation and enhancing the efficiency of interactive multimedia applications.

Problems solved by technology

The Applicant has noticed that the conventional technologies, shortly indicated above, do not operate in efficient manner with reference to the steps needed to establish (i.e. to set up) the connection between the two terminals and to start the running of the application involving such terminals.

Embodiment Construction

[0085]FIG. 1 shows a communication system 100 in accordance with a particular embodiment of the invention and comprising at least a first terminal 1 and at least a second terminal 2, both connectable to a communication network NW.

[0086]The communication system 100 allows to set-up a connection between the first 1 and the second 2 terminals during which said terminals run an application exchanging data each other. The application to be run on the first 1 and second 2 terminals is, preferably, an interactive multi-media application such as, for example, multimedia gaming, video-conference and tele-presence. Even if only two terminals are shown in FIG. 1, the present invention is also applicable to multicasting transmissions, wherein the information / data associated to the application are transmitted to several terminals at the same time belonging to a specific group of users.

[0087]With reference to the communication network NW, which can be of a conventional type, it is configured, as ...

Abstract

A method of establishing connections between at least a first and a second terminal on a communication network includes: sending to the second terminal a network signal requesting the network availability to establish the connection and a terminal signal requesting the availability of the second terminal to run an application exchanging data between the first and second terminals; receiving at the second terminal the network signal and the terminal signal; and sending on the network a response signal carrying information based on the network and terminal signals and assuming a content corresponding to the availability / unavailability of the network to establish the connection combined the availability / unavailability of the second terminal to run the application.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application is a reissue application of U.S. Pat. No. 8,214,504 B2, which issued from a national phase application based on PCT / IB2005 / 002492, filed Aug. 5, 2005.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a method of establishing connections between at least two communication terminals in order to run an application requiring the exchange of data between said terminals. As an example, the present invention relates to interactive applications, in particular, of the multimedia type.[0004]To the purpose of the present invention by the expression “interactive application running between two or more terminals” it is meant an application, typically a software application, wherein at each terminal a transition from an application status to another application status is also dependent on data received by another terminal.[0005]To the purpose of the present by the expression multimedia appl...
