Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080267091SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR SERVICE AND APPLICATION CONFIGURATION IN A NETWORK DEVICE - A method is provided that includes accessing information associated with at least one service or application in a social network. The method also includes detecting at least one event relating to the information associated with the at least one service or application within the social network and modifying the information associated with the at least one service or application in response to the at least one event.10-30-2008
20090010184DEVICE AND METHOD FOR BIDIRECTIONAL COMMUNICATION - This application relates to an apparatus comprising at least one interface for connecting to a wireless network. Further the apparatus comprises an advertising unit configured to advertise the presence of the apparatus within the wireless network. The apparatus includes also a presenting unit configured to present at least one mobile service described in a markup language and a transmission unit configured for accepting a request for a bidirectional communication via the wireless network from at least one second apparatus using the presented mobile service.01-08-2009
20090287802UPnP/DLNA device support apparatus, system, and method - An apparatus, system, and method may include a universal plug and play or digital living network alliance (UPnP/DLNA) device, a support server, and a mobile device. The mobile device may be configured to discover the UPnP/DLNA device of a UPnP or DLNA network by using a UPnP/DLNA protocol. The mobile device may further be configured to receive, using the UPnP/DLNA protocol, status-related data corresponding to the UPnP/DLNA device. The mobile device may also be configured to transmit the status-related data to the support server via a wide area network (WAN) or a wireless wide area network (WWAN) to facilitate support of the UPnP/DLNA device based on the status-related data.11-19-2009
20100049804Instant Messaging - An instant-messaging system (IM) includes messaging devices equipped with individuating addresses, which include a client functionality and a transceiver or data-transmission-reception means for performing instant messaging between the messaging devices, and each of which messaging devices is equipped with messaging capabilities, which messaging capabilities differ at least partly between the messaging devices, and a server functionality arranged to maintain information on the messaging devices belonging to the instant-messaging system. The server functionality is arranged to maintain information on the messaging capabilities of the messaging devices.02-25-2010
20110004636SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR SERVICE AND APPLICATION CONFIGURATION IN A NETWORK DEVICE - A method is provided that includes accessing information associated with at least one service or application in a social network. The method also includes detecting at least one event relating to the information associated with the at least one service or application within the social network and modifying the information associated with the at least one service or application in response to the at least one event.01-06-2011
20110138478Metadata Broker - The present invention provides methods and apparatuses for obtaining selected metadata from a user device. The user device has a metadata engine that stores and accesses metadata in response to a metadata query. A metadata broker verifies the authenticity of the metadata query from a service provider and returns selected metadata if the service provider has rights to obtain the metadata. The user device has a communications interface that sends a service request that is indicative of the selected service over a communications channel and receives the metadata request that is indicative of the selected metadata. An authorization center receives a metadata request from a service provider, accesses a rule set to determine selected metadata in accordance with predetermined rights, and returns a signed metadata request to the service provider. The signed metadata request has an electronic signature of an authorizing party and is indicative of the selected metadata.06-09-2011

20080320033Method, Apparatus and Computer Program Product for Providing Association of Objects Using Metadata - An apparatus for providing association of objects using metadata may include a processing element. The processing element may be configured to extract metadata associated with an object, form, based on a predefined rule set and in response to an event, an associative relationship between the object and at least one other object associated with a same application as the object or a different application than the object based on the extracted metadata, and perform a function based on the associative relationship.12-25-2008
20090163244Synchronization of Mobile Terminals - Embodiments are directed to activation and performance of multiple-subscriber-identity-module (“multi-SIM”) automatic synchronization of mobile devices. A user may specify one or more data types for which multi-SIM automatic synchronization should be performed, which may include incoming calls, sent text messages, and the like. Information about an answered incoming call may be sent from a first mobile device to at least one additional mobile device so that the at least one mobile device may update at least one call log and may remove at least one notification for the call accordingly. When multi-SIM automatic synchronization is performed for sent text messages, the first mobile device may send a copy of the sent text message to the at least one additional mobile device so that the received copy may be stored in the sent messages folder of the at least one additional mobile device.06-25-2009
20090249355METHOD, APPARATUS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR PROVIDING AN INFORMATION MODEL-BASED USER INTERFACE - An apparatus for providing an information model-based user interface may include a processor. The processor may be configured to access, for a particular object associated with a first application, relationship data defining one or more related objects associated with the particular object on the basis of metadata, provide for a presentation of the one or more related objects, and, in response to selection of one of the related objects, enable presentation of the selected related object via execution of an application associated with the selected related object if the application is different than the first application. A corresponding computer program product, method, and user interface are also provided.10-01-2009
