Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
118 words
In a telecommunications network connecting a first telecommunications device to a second telecommunications device, a method of selectively switching to in-band signaling between said first and second telecommunications devices, said method comprising the steps of: initiating a communication between said first telecommunications device and said second telecommunications device, sending a first signal from said first telecommunications device to said second telecommunications device, displaying via said second telecommunications device a first icon represented by said first signal, sending a second signal from said second telecommunications device to said first telecommunications device, said second signal representing a second icon, and thereafter selectively switching said first telecommunications device and said second telecommunications device to in-band signaling based on said first icon.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
