Radio telephone text transmission system

Abstract: A communication system for transmitting text messages to a mobile terminal in a radio telephone network is disclosed. A local mobile terminal is coupled to an external computer and is used to generate, manipulate and optionally store text messages which can be transmitted or received over the radio telephone network via the local mobile terminal. The text messages are transmitted to or received from a remote mobile terminal in the radio telephone network.

Disposable mini-applications

Abstract: Disposable mini-applications (106) are executable software items whose activation, deactivation and deletion in a mobile terminal are defined by trigger parameters and rules (250). Trigger parameters (250) may include, but are not intended to be limited to, location, time (218), stored user data and the like. Rules are one or more trigger parameters needed to effect one of the foregoing actions. In one embodiment, a housekeeping means (206) monitors for data that corresponds to the parameters and satisfies the rules, and performs a variety of housekeeping functions relating to the disposable mini-applications (106). The deletion of the disposable mini­application clears memory space associated with storing and executing the disposable mini-application, and thus, makes that space available for other purposes.

Automated bulk configuration of network devices

Abstract: Multiple devices within a data communication network can be configured according to a single configuration profile. Configuration profile data is stored in a configuration file. Connections are made to individual devices, and the data in the configuration file is transformed into device-specific commands.

Portable local server with context sensing

Abstract: A system for distributing information via short-range wireless communication. A mobile server receives information from an information provider for distribution to encountered devices. The information received from the service provider may contain both content to be distributed and context information that controls how the content is distributed. The mobile server may sense current environmental conditions, which are compared to distribution rules created from the context information to control how content information is distributed. The present invention is suitable for many applications, including the distribution of podcast-related information.

Packet radio system and methods for a protocol-independent routing of a data packet in packet radio networks

Abstract: The present invention relates to a protocol-independent routing of data packets between a mobile station of a packet radio network and a party (Host) connected to an external network. In the invention, a data packet of an extraneous protocol (IPX) is transferred through a packet radio network using a second protocol (X.25) as encapsulated in a data packet according to the second protocol. The transferring packet radio network does not thus need to understand the protocol of the transferred extraneous data packet or to be able to interpret the contents of the data packet. A data packet network is connected to other packet radio networks, data networks or the backbone network between packet data networks via a gateway node (GPRS GSN), which uses the network-internal protocol (X.25) towards the dedicated packet network and the protocol of each network towards other networks. When a data packet is transferred via a gateway node from a network into another network, the data packet is encapsulated in a packet according to the protocol of the new network. When the encapsulated data packet arrives in a node which supports the protocol of the encapsulated data packet, the encapsulation is stripped away and the data packet is routed forward according to the protocol of the data packet.
