| 20090299985 | Network Based Address Book with Optional Storage of Data - A system, server, computer readable medium and method for receiving personal information about a first user and providing the personal information to a second user, where the first and second users are connected to corresponding first and second servers in a communication network. The method includes receiving at the second server, from the second user, a request for the personal information of the first user, accessing an address of the first user based on an address book of the second user, wherein the address book of the second user is accessible to the second server, contacting the first server based on the address of the first user and requesting from the first server the personal information of the first user, receiving the personal information of the first user from the first server, and providing the received personal information of the first user to the second user, without storing the received personal information in the second server or in an associated storage device. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20100281109 | PERMANENT PRESENCE FOR POLITE BLOCK AND CONFIRM - The present invention relates to a method and devices for operating a communication network, in particular a presence SIMPLE network applying polite block and confirm for subscribers to presence data. A method for operating a communication system comprising a presence server and a presence document server is provided, the communication system being adapted to communicate with a first client requesting subscription to the presence data of a presentity using a second client, the method comprising the steps of: sending, in case the subscription is to be confirmed or politely blocked, a request for presence data from the presence server to the presence document server; receiving a message comprising presence data of the presentity from the presence document server; and sending a notification message to the first client based on the received presence data of the presentity. | 11-04-2010 |
| 20100317330 | METHOD OF ENABLING A SERVICE AT A COMMUNICATION NETWORK NODE - A method enabling a service at a communication network node and a network node adapted to execute the method is provided, wherein a first request, requesting for one or more operations to be associated with a symbol, is received from a first user. The request comprises an instruction, identifying one or more operations. The request triggers the generating of a unique symbol identity, and the creation of a symbol record, associated with the symbol identity, wherein the symbol record, linking the symbol identity to the one or more operations. At the node the symbol identity is also associated with the generated symbol, which is created by a symbol server and forwarded to the first user. Once the symbol has been received by the node in a second request, the symbol identity corresponding to the symbol is retrieved from the symbol server, and the service is enabled by executing the one or more operations according to the symbol record identified by the symbol identity. | 12-16-2010 |
| 20110004942 | METHOD AND APPARATUSES FOR AUTHORISING PROVISION OF INDIRECTED CONTENT ASSOCIATED WITH A PRESENTITY OF A PRESENCE SERVICE - The invention provides a method of authorising provision of in-directed content to a user of an IPcommunications network. The in-directed content is associated with a presentity subscriber of a presence service, the presence service including authorisation rules regarding users to which the in-directed content may be provided. The in-directed content is stored at a content server that is not controlled by the presence service. The method includes receiving at an authorisation proxy in the network a request from the user to be provided with the in-directed content, and identifying the presentity subscriber associated with the requested in-directed content. The authorisation proxy retrieves the authorisation rules to verify that the user is authorised to receive the in-directed content. Subject to the verification, the in-directed content is provided from the content server the user. | 01-06-2011 |
| 20110113106 | THROTTLE ON PRESENCE - The present invention relates to throttle and rate limitation of notifications in a communication network, in particular to a method and devices for operating a communication network, e g a communication network comprising a presence system A method for operating a communication network for communicating with entities is provided, the method comprising the steps of receiving a first message from a first entity, the first message indicating delay parameter values for different parameters, receiving a second message from a second entity, selecting a delay parameter value in the communication network depending on the received second message and the delay parameter values in the first message, and sending a notification to the first entity according to the selected delay parameter value Further the present invention relates to devices implementing the method. | 05-12-2011 |
