20100283613Information Sharing in a Smart Space - Disclosed is an apparatus including a near field communication unit configured to read usage information pertaining to one or more devices within a certain space; and a processing unit configured to forward at least part of said usage information to one or more devices of another space, such as a personal space comprising devices personally held by a certain user. The certain space may be a smart space. Also related other devices, methods and computer programs are disclosed.11-11-2010
20110047539SOFTWARE DEFINED RADIO MANAGEMENT - A system for facilitating the management of reconfigurable communication resources. These reconfigurable communication resources may include, for example, software defined radio (SDR) modules. SDR modules may comprise fixed hardware-level support for a multitude of wireless radios whose operation/protocols are defined at the software level. A variety of software-based radio definitions (e.g., radio software) may be stored on the apparatus, the radio software defining operation/protocol for one or more radios. Radios defined in the stored radio software may be individually loaded into the SDR module in order to emulate the operation (e.g., wireless communication) of corresponding hardware-based radio modules. Loading radios into, or the unloading of radios from, the SDR module may be managed based on decision criteria.02-24-2011

20080214210LOCATION-BASED NOVELTY INDEX VALUE AND RECOMMENDATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - The invention is a system and method for computing a result for a location, wherein the result indicates how novel it is for a wireless device to occupy a specific location. After determining the location of a wireless device through various means, a Novelty Index Value (NIV) is calculated for the location, and the NIV is then stored into a database. The NIV may then be subsequently used by application programs to compute a desired result from the NIV. Multiple users may utilize and/or share the same NIV values. The NIV may also be used to alter the configuration of a wireless device as well. A recommendation system is also disclosed, wherein user context is utilized along with NIV values to compute particular results for a user.09-04-2008

20080302609ELEVATOR SYSTEM - The present invention discloses a method, a system and a computer program for the effective evacuation of a building in an emergency, in which at least one elevator can be used as an evacuation aid. In the method the group control of the elevators monitors the numbers of people on the different floors of the building. The floor on which it is assumed are most people is set at each moment of monitoring for a greater priority in an evacuation situation. Taking into account the limited supply power a free elevator car is directed to the floor of the greatest priority, at which the elevator is filled. The full elevator is directed without stopping to the exit floor of the building. The system monitors by means of detectors the safety of the different parts of the building and directs people if necessary to a safe evacuation location to wait for an elevator. A so-called Traffic Forecaster can be used as an aid in defining the priorities.12-11-2008
