Patent ID: 8599722

Claim:
A method for regulating and controlling a recording of a telecommunications connection in telecommunications networks, comprising the steps of: tapping and storing signals produced in the telecommunications connection between two subscribers in a system, wherein storing and accessing the signals take place according to freely selectable specifications of a respective telecommunications subscriber and of a respective network operator involved in the telecommunications connection, duplicating via a conference bridge the signals produced in the connection between the two subscribers, storing the signals to be recorded as encrypted data files directly on the telecommunications networks used, decrypting these data files and reproducing the contents by means of appropriate release by the subscribers of the telecommunications connection and/or by means of appropriate authorization of third parties, carrying out the storage of the data files of the telecommunications connection only after a logon and consent of the subscribers of the telecommunications connection, wherein the logon information of the subscribers of the telecommunications connection is exchanged between network operators of different telecommunications networks prior to the storage, centrally storing in a database the information about the consent of the subscribers of the telecommunications network connection, and querying and evaluating said consent information during the establishment of the setup of the respective telecommunications connection.
