| Claim: | 1. A method for transmitting supplementary data to a communication terminal, comprising: providing a communication session, wherein the communication terminal is a subscriber of the communication session; generating a message containing supplementary data whose content relates to the communication session that has been set up or terminated and an identification for the communication session; transmitting the message to the communication terminal, wherein the supplementary data cannot be transmitted in the course of the communication session, and wherein the communication session is configured such that the communication terminal cannot receive the supplementary data in the course of the communication session; and deciding, based at least in part on the volume of data in the supplementary data, whether the supplementary data is to be transmitted to the communication terminal using the same transmission path used to transmit data to the communication terminal in the course of the communication session, or whether the supplementary data is to be transmitted to the communication terminal using another transmission path. |
| Claim: | 2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a user takes part or has taken part in the communication session using the communication terminal. |
| Claim: | 3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the message is generated using a further communication terminal and is transmitted from the further communication terminal to the communication terminal. |
| Claim: | 4. The method as claimed in claim 3 , wherein a user takes part or has taken part in the communication session using the further communication terminal. |
| Claim: | 5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the decision is based on the volume of the supplementary data. |
| Claim: | 6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the decision is used as a basis for generating the message and transmitting the message to the communication terminal. |
| Claim: | 7. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the communication terminal is a mobile radio subscriber terminal and the message is transmitted to the communication terminal using a mobile radio communication network. |
| Claim: | 8. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the communication session is provided or has been provided using an IMS. |
| Claim: | 9. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the communication session is a PoC communication session, an IM communication session or a VoIP session. |
| Claim: | 10. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the message is an SMS message, an MMS message or an e-mail. |
| Claim: | 11. A system for transmitting supplementary data to a communication terminal, comprising: a communication session, wherein the communication terminal is a subscriber of the communication session; a message generation device that generates a message containing the supplementary data whose content relates to the communication session that has been set up or terminated and an identification for the communication session; a transmission device transmitting the message to the communication terminal, wherein the supplementary data cannot be transmitted in the course of the communication session, and wherein the communication session is configured such that the communication terminal cannot receive the data in the course of the communication session; and a decision making unit that decides, based at least in part on the volume of data in the supplementary data, whether the supplementary data is transmitted to the communication terminal using the same transmission path used to transmit data to the communication terminal in the course of the communication session, or whether the supplementary data is to be transmitted to the communication terminal using another transmission path. |
| Claim: | 12. The system as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the decision is based on the volume of the supplementary data. |
| Claim: | 13. A method for transmitting supplementary data to a mobile radio subscriber terminal, comprising: providing a communication session, wherein the mobile radio subscriber terminal is a subscriber of the communication session; generating a message containing supplementary data whose content relates to the communication session that has been set up or terminated and an identification for the communication session; transmitting the message to the mobile radio subscriber terminal using a mobile radio communication network, wherein the supplementary data cannot be transmitted in the course of the communication session, and wherein the communication session is configured such that the mobile radio subscriber terminal cannot receive the data in the course of the communication session; and deciding, based at least in part on the volume of data in the supplementary data, whether the supplementary data is to be transmitted to the mobile radio subscriber terminal using the same transmission path used to transmit data transmitted to the mobile radio subscriber terminal in the course of the communication session, or whether the supplementary data is to be transmitted to the mobile radio subscriber terminal using another transmission path. |
| Claim: | 14. A method for transmitting supplementary data to a communication terminal, comprising: a communication session, wherein the communication terminal is a subscriber of the communication session; deciding, based at least in part on the volume of data in the supplementary data, whether supplementary data whose content relates to a communication session that has been set up or terminated are to be transmitted to the communication terminal using the same transmission path used to transmit data transmitted to the communication terminal in the course of the communication session, or whether the supplementary data is to be transmitted to the communication terminal using another transmission path; generating a message which contains the supplementary data and an identification for the communication session on the basis of the decision; and transmitting the message to the communication terminal on the transmission path or the another transmission path on the basis of the decision. |
| Claim: | 15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the decision is made on the basis of certain criteria being fulfilled. |
