Patent ID: 7720023

Claim:
A telecommunication system; comprising: a circuit switched network connected with a mobile terminal using circuit switched communication capabilities of said mobile terminal, said mobile terminal having, in addition to said circuit switched communication capabilities, packet switched communication capabilities, wherein said mobile terminal is further connectable to the internet via a packet switched network using the mobile terminal's packet switched communication capabilities and wherein said mobile terminal is configured to enable a user to request, via said packet switched network connecting said mobile terminal to the internet and using said mobile terminal's packet switched communication capabilities, streaming video content stored on a streaming video server located within the Internet, a gateway, connected to said circuit switched network at one side and connected to the internet at another side, said gateway being configured to convert files having an internet compatible streaming video format received from said streaming video server into streaming video bitstreams in a format configured to be transmitted to said mobile terminal via said circuit switched network, and a registration unit, said registration unit being connectable with said mobile terminal via said packet switched network using said mobile terminal's packet switched communication capabilities and said registration unit being configured to register for said mobile terminal a terminal identifier linked to said mobile terminal's node address at said circuit switched network, wherein said telecommunication system is configured to retrieve, at the registration unit, said mobile terminal's node address at said circuit switched network, guided by said terminal identifier of said mobile terminal, said telecommunication system is further configured to set up a connection through said circuit switched network between said gateway and said mobile terminal based on said mobile terminal's node address at said circuit switched network and using the mobile terminal's circuit switched communication capabilities, and said telecommunication system is configured to transmit said streaming video content, converted by said gateway, to said mobile terminal via said circuit switched network.
