| 20100135239 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ESTABLISHING A CONNECTION BETWEEN NETWORK ELEMENTS - The invention provides a method and system for establishing or handling a connection between a first and a second network element connected to different networks such as GPRS/UMTS and IP-based networks. The connection is established by means of at least one third network element such as a SGSN or GGSN arranged in one of the networks. The third network element is adapted to send, when receiving information on an establishment of a connection, a request to a fourth network element which may be a Call State Control Function (CSCF), a Policy Control Function (PCF), or a Call Processing Server (CPS). The request requests permission for establishing a requested type of connection, or requests a check of a connection parameter, and specifies the first and/or second network element and/or the connection or connection type to be established. The fourth network element returns a response specifying a permission for establishing a connection or connection type, or specifying a connection parameter. | 06-03-2010 |

| 20090287802 | UPnP/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 |
| 20100049804 | Instant 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 |
| 20110138478 | Metadata 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 |

| 20080320033 | Method, 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 |
| 20090163244 | Synchronization 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 |
| 20090249355 | METHOD, 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 |
