20080313321 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING PRESENCE INFORMATION - An improved system and method for communicating Presence Information. According to various embodiments, the sequence of actions undertaken in established Presence procedures are changed, and enhancements are also provided for Watcher information notifications. Upon the initiation of a Presence Service, the Presence Source starts publishing Presence Information about a Presentity using a soft-state approach. Instead of having publication occur first, the Presence Source makes a subscription for the Watcher information first or simply waits until the Presence Server contacts the Presence Source. As a result, publication occurs only when there is a demand therefor. | 12-18-2008 |
20090049559 | Informing recipient device of message content properties - According to an aspect of the invention, a content class of a data set for a message to be transmitted to the recipient device is defined. A network element transferring messages to the recipient device specifies at least one information element in a message to the recipient terminal such that the information element comprises an indication of the content class. The message is transmitted to the recipient device. | 02-19-2009 |
20090098886 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING PRESENCE NOTIFICATIONS BASED UPON WATCHER STATUS - A system and method for providing Presence notifications based upon a user's status. According to various embodiments, a Watcher can provide an indication of filtering criteria for incoming Presence information. A network agent can be used to filter 5 unnecessary notifications before they reach the Watcher. Presence notifications can be sent or not sent to a Watcher at certain times based upon the Watcher's availability and/or willingness to receive such notifications. These arrangements optimize Presence traffic by not sending Presence information over a costly radio interface at times when the information would not be useful to the intended recipient of the information. | 04-16-2009 |
20090106437 | Method and device for handling different addressing schemes in session initiation protocol communication - A method including sending a request for a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) service, the request including at least one Universal Resource Identifier (URI) according to a first addressing scheme. The method further includes receiving a response including the URI of the first addressing scheme, a corresponding SIP URI for each URI of the first addressing scheme, and information associating each URI of the first addressing scheme with the corresponding SIP URI. The method further includes mapping each SIP URI to the corresponding URI of the first addressing scheme on the basis of the associating information. A device and a computer program product relating to the method are also described. | 04-23-2009 |
20100082761 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ADDRESS BOOK CONTACT MANAGEMENT - A method comprises receiving a notification to share contact information for a contact in an address book of a sender with a recipient; retrieving the contact information for the contact; and delivering the contact information to the recipient. | 04-01-2010 |
20100087176 | Method and Apparatus for Address Book Contact Management - A method comprises receiving an indication of contact information for a contact in an address book to be delivered to a recipient; retrieving the contact information for the contacts; and delivering the contact information to the recipient. | 04-08-2010 |
20100088276 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTING PERSONALIZATION AND MAPPING IN A NETWORK-BASED ADDRESS BOOK - A system and method for implementing personalization, mapping and status management in a network-based address book. A subscription function (SF) subscribes to personal contact information of specific users to personal contact card (PCC) servers and receives updates to the contact information of the subscribed user(s). The SF retrieves the personalization rule document of subscribing user and applies personalization rules to the updated contact information. The personalized contact information is handed over to a data synchronization (DS) client so that the DS client may synchronize the information with the address book of the subscribing user in a converged address book (CAB) server. The personalized contact information of the subscribed contacts is propagated to other devices or web portals. A new or existing attribute/parameter may be provided and/or used for each contact entry for use in uniquely identifying each contact. The SF may maintain a document outlining the status of entries in the address book. All of the contact entries (with all or a subset of contact information) of an address book may be synchronized between the DS client coupled with the SF and a CAB server at the beginning and later when there is a change in the address book. | 04-08-2010 |
20100161807 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ADDRESS BOOK UPDATES - A method comprises receiving an indication of a list of contacts in an address book to receive an automatic update; submitting a subscription request for the contacts; receiving updates for contact information for the subscribed contacts; and synchronizing the updates with the address book, wherein the synchronizing includes synchronizing only the updated contacts. | 06-24-2010 |
20110208772 | Method and Apparatus for Providing a Search Tool in Connection with Address Management - A method for providing a search tool for use in connection with address book management may include receiving an indication of an address book update event associated with a contact of an address book of a user, causing performance, via a processor, of a search responsive to receipt of the indication, and enabling modification of contact information associated with the contact based on the search results. A corresponding apparatus and computer program product are also provided. | 08-25-2011 |
20120149407 | Message Handling - The invention relates to handling a message addressed to a client terminal, which client terminal includes a messaging client for handling said messages. The method includes the steps of receiving a message addressed to the client terminal, said message including content destined to an “upper level” application, the “upper level” application being an application, which is separate from the messaging client, obtaining capability information relating to said client terminal, checking whether said capability information includes information about “upper level” applications the client terminal supports, and conducting an action responsive to said checking phase. | 06-14-2012 |
20120173649 | Multimedia messaging method and system - A multimedia messaging method and system, wherein the same multimedia message can be used to encapsulate both non-streamable media components and descriptors relating to streamable media components. A recipient extracts the descriptors from the multimedia message and initiates streaming sessions accordingly. The notification process by which a recipient user agent is informed of the availability of a multimedia message is the same regardless the type of the components within the message. | 07-05-2012 |
20130060879 | Informing Recipient Device of Message Content Properties - According to one aspect of the present invention, a content class of a data set for a message to be transmitted to the recipient device is defined. A network element transferring messages to the recipient device specifies at least one information element in a message to the recipient terminal such that the information element includes an indication of the content class. The message is transmitted to the recipient device. | 03-07-2013 |
20150056920 | METHOD, APPARATUS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR MANAGEMENT OF CONNECTED DEVICES, SUCH AS IN A WIRELESS DOCKING ENVIRONMENT - Method, apparatus, and computer program product embodiments enable a wireless docking center device to manage one or more wireless and/or wired peripheral devices on behalf of a wireless dockee device. Example embodiments of the invention include wireless docking management of peripheral devices, power management in wireless docking, intelligent and automatic connection activation in wireless docking, notification based on user proximity to a peripheral device in wireless docking, and redirect data transmission between peripheral devices in wireless docking. Wireless docking is mentioned as example herein, but similar solutions may also be applied to other connected device environments. | 02-26-2015 |
