Abstract:
1. A method of controlling establishing of a connection between at least a first and a second terminal on a communication network, comprising: sending on the network and toward the second terminal a network signal requesting the network availability to establish said connection and a terminal signal requesting the availability of the second terminal to run an application exchanging data between said first and second terminals; in a first operating condition, receiving at the second terminal the network signal and the terminal signal; generating at the second terminal an application response signal representative of the availability/unavailability of the second terminal to run the application; elaborating at the second terminal, the network signal and the application response signal so as to generate a response signal carrying information indicative of the availability/unavailability of the network to establish the connection combined with the availability/unavailability of the second terminal to run the application; and sending said response signal on the network toward the first terminal, wherein said information assumes a first value corresponding to a first state of said first operating condition in which the network is available to establish the connection and the second terminal is unavailable to run the application, in such first state and comprising releasing of the connection by sending on the network the response signal carrying the first value.
