International Classification:

H04M 11/04
H04L 12/66

US Classification:

4554041, 370352, 379 45

Abstract:

A network component is provided that includes a processor configured, upon the network component receiving an IMS (Internet Protocol Multimedia Subsystem) emergency call from a user equipment (UE) , to detect in the emergency call an indicator requesting the network component to restrict presentation of private information related to the UE. The processor is further configured, when the indicator is present, to transmit the emergency call without at least some of the private information to a Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP).

G06F 15/177

US Classification:

709206, 709207, 709230, 709246

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a scheme is disclosed for interpreting contents of at least one message body per message, e. g. , a SIP or HTTP message, wherein the message body contents correspond to a content type. A communication protocol message such as a SIP or HTTP message is generated by a sender towards a recipient, wherein the message includes at least one message body content in the message's body. A component associated with the recipient is configured to examine whether at least one indicator is associated with the message. A component, operable responsive to the examination, is configured to inhibit a treatment of the message body content and to apply an alternative treatment with respect thereto.
