Establishment of links using contact elements involves establishing connection from first node to communications system, checking if contact element is permitted for connection establishment, establishing the connection depending on result

摘要

The method involves connecting first and second nodes (NA,NSP) with first and second associated contacts by providing a contact element (SBOT) in the first node that graphically represents the second contact (SP) and that has a unique associated identity and contact data, accessing the contact data from a program, establishing the connection from the first node to the communications system (LC), checking whether the contact element is permitted for connection establishment and establishing the connection depending on the check result.. An independent claim is also included for the following: (A) a communications system for controlling a communications environment (B) and a contact element for establishing a connection.
