| 20080242300 | Wireless communication - Access to wireless communication is disclosed, wherein a network control unit identifies availability of different communication networks for a communication device. The communication device is notified of a recommendation of identified communication networks. In response to this notification, the communication device initiates access to the recommended communication network for establishing a communication channel. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080243535 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR A CONTEXT-BASED SERVICE LOOK UP - The present invention relates to a context-based service look up, wherein a service instance, having a scope includes at least one service instance data set having a hierarchy of levels. A service consumer data set, having a hierarchy of levels is received from a service consumer, having a situation. Comparisons are made of each service consumer data set with each service instance data set, for the same level. Dependent on results of the comparisons, it is determined whether said situation of said service consumer matches said scope of said service instance. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20080319994 | METHOD FOR REGISTERING A TEMPLATE MESSAGE, GENERATING AN UPDATE MESSAGE, REGENERATING AND PROVIDING AN APPLICATION REQUEST, COMPUTER ARRANGEMENT, COMPUTER PROGRAM AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT - The invention relates to a method for registering a template message comprising identifying a request class containing a fixed and a variable content part, generating a template message comprising the fixed content part of the request class, and registering the template message for the request class with a template message database. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20090059843 | SYSTEMS, METHODS AND COMPUTER PRODUCTS FOR PROVIDING A GRADIENT DRIVEN MESH-NETWORK ESTABLISHMENT - Systems, methods and computer products for establishing a mesh-network consisting of wireless personal area network (WPAN) having a large number of nodes. Exemplary embodiments include a gradient-driven mesh-network establishment method, including switching on a plurality of nodes in a vicinity of the wireless personal area network, detecting an acknowledgment signal via a wireless personal area network signal, querying for at least one or a resource and a physical quantity, selecting a subset of the plurality of nodes and instructing the subset of the plurality of nodes to send out a low power radio transceiver DISCOVER squirt signal to a neighborhood associated with the subset of the plurality of nodes, wherein nodes exclusive of the subset of the plurality of nodes turn off in response to an expiration of a time-out period. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090121929 | METHOD FOR TRACKING CONTAINERS USING A LOW-RATE WIRELESS PERSONAL AREA NETWORK SYSTEM - A method for tracking a plurality of containers each joined to an electronic tracking device having routing capabilities and a WPAN-enabled radio receiver/transmitter configured to attempt to connect to a pre-configured WPAN upon being activated comprises activating the radio receiver/transmitter of each tracking device joined to a container being loaded onto a cargo vessel; receiving an indication from each tracking device that fails to connect to the WPAN; intermittently performing a network scan to locate each WPAN-connected tracking device; intermittently configuring the WPAN to include each WPAN-connected tracking device in a hybrid tree-mesh network topology; intermittently configuring routing information stored on each WPAN-connected tracking device to maintain mutual communication with each WPAN-connected tracking device and enable mutual communication between each WPAN-connected tracking device; receiving transport-related data from each WPAN-connected tracking device; transmitting the transport-related data to a control station through a LAN on the vessel; broadcasting a request to be routed between the WPAN-connected tracking devices in a depth-first traversal of the network topology that directs each WPAN-connected tracking device to enter a low-power mode when the depth-first traversal backtracks from the tracking device; and receiving an acknowledgment of the request communicated from each WPAN-connected tracking device when the tracking device enters the low-power mode. | 05-14-2009 |

| 20100100926 | INTERACTIVE SELECTION OF IDENTITY INFORMATOIN SATISFYING POLICY CONSTRAINTS - A system and method for verifying an attribute includes providing a compound policy by a relying party. The compound policy has one or more claims and/or sub-claims expressing conditions on attributes and constants. Identity providers are associated with aspects of the compound policy by mapping attributes of the compound policy with attributes of the identity providers. A selection of at least one identity provider that satisfies the compound policy is enabled. At least one attribute of the user is verified by at least one identity provider in accordance with the selection. | 04-22-2010 |
| 20100318798 | MESSAGE HANDLING AT A MOBILE DEVICE - A method for sending a message from a mobile device via a first application running on the mobile device is proposed. The method comprises a challenge step for supplying the first application with a challenge, a response step for receiving a response to the challenge, an equality check step for determining whether the received response corresponds to an expected response, a signature step for providing a signature for the message, using a cryptographic key and the result of the equality check step, and a send step for sending the signed message via the first application from the mobile device to a backend system. | 12-16-2010 |
