Telecommunications method for multi-network communications
First Claim
1. A multi-network communication method for telecommunication in an environment which includes a plurality of different telecommunications networks and a multi-network terminal provided for communication in each of said telecommunications networks, said multi-network terminal monitoring said networks in order to detect with which network the terminal currently has access, said method comprising the steps of:
- said multi-network terminal dynamically selecting, based upon the networks that are currently accessible, an accessible network in which communication shall take place;
said multi-network terminal initiating, when changing networks for communication, annulment of any diversion service earlier active in said selected network, and in each remaining non-selected network initiating, in a coordinated manner with said annulment step, activation of a diversion service so that an incoming call in any of said non-selected networks, the incoming call having said multi-network terminal as a destination, is redirected to the multi-network terminal in the selected network.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a multinetwork communication method for telecommunication in an environment which includes a number of different telecommunications networks, using a multinetwork terminal intended for communication in the various telecommunications networks. The invention is characterized in that the multinetwork terminal (25) itself detects those telecommunications networks to which it has access. On the basis of predetermined decision criterions, the multinetwork terminal itself decides in which of the accessible telecommunications networks communication shall take place. The invention also relates to a multinetwork terminal having a control unit (32) and network switching means controlled by the control unit for activation of communication devices (30, 31) in the selected telecommunications network.
