Patent number: 9848086Abstract: Devices, methods and computer program products are provided for dispatching messages to recipients and for prioritizing the dispatch of generic-recipient messages. The device and methods are generally automatic and, thus, require minimal manual intervention by system administrators. Further, the devices and methods are capable of supporting both local and remote message dispatching so as to optimize the system and achieve a lowest cost alternative. In addition, the devices and methods of the present invention dispatch messages over various communication means, such as short-range wireless, Internet, cellular networks and the like.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2004Date of Patent: December 19, 2017Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Martin Zilliacus, Ari Koli

METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING CONTENT AND ASSOCIATED INFORMATION SOURCED FROM MULTIPLE PLATFORMS
Publication number: 20130318193Abstract: An approach is provided for managing content and associated information sourced from multiple platforms. A dynamic information management platform determines a request to present one or more content items. The one or more content items include inventory for presenting associated information. The dynamic information management platform determines at least one platform from among a plurality of platforms based, at least in part, on the one or more content items, metadata associated with the one or more content items, or a combination thereof. The plurality of platforms is associated with at least one common service. The dynamic information management platform then determines the information associated with the one or more content items from the at least one platform in either an online or offline mode of operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 24, 2012Publication date: November 28, 2013Inventors: Ari Koli, Sami Mikael Puura, Dominic Strowbridge -
Patent number: 8073380Abstract: The present invention is a system for facilitating the selection and downloading of a digital multimedia program based on broadcast information. A single keystroke may trigger a series of events that result in an authorized copy of the desired digital media being saved on a user device. The desired program is wirelessly downloaded in an encrypted format, and after an accounting and billing process transpires, a decryption key is delivered in to the user device in a wireless message. The copy of the desired digital media is then decrypted, and is properly licensed, so that the user may enjoy listening to this media with minimal restrictions.Type: GrantFiled: December 30, 2005Date of Patent: December 6, 2011Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Ari Koli, Ilkka Tiainen

Patent number: 8023953Abstract: A hotspot access point enables a mobile wireless device to resume a service with a network server when service is interrupted by the mobile device moving out of the coverage area of the access point. A short-range communication link is established by the access point with the mobile device based on a local identification of the device. The access point requests additional information from the wireless device. The additional information relates to a wide area network identification of the device. The mobile device transmits additional information to the access point which stores the local area identification and additional identification. The access point transmits to the mobile device a coded identificator of the wireless device based upon the local area identification and a network identification of the device. The access point determines whether service with the mobile device is open and establishes a wide area connection with the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2010Date of Patent: September 20, 2011Assignee: Intellectual Ventures I LLCInventors: Martin Zilliacus, Ari Koli

Publication number: 20100235762Abstract: An approach is provided for sharing rendered content that includes receiving initial data that indicates a content sharing service and a subscriber to the service. An initialization message is sent to the content sharing service based on the initial data. In response, a subscriber data message that comprises a playlist that indicates content rendered by the subscriber is received. In response to receiving the subscriber data message, a device of a user is caused to indicate that content sharing with the subscriber is permitted.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 30, 2009Publication date: September 16, 2010Applicant: Nokia CorporationInventors: Tero LAIHO, Ari Koli, Jukka Immonen, Jari Sukanen, Tatu Tahkokallio, Matti Keltanen, Charlie Gower

Publication number: 20060268896Abstract: Systems and methods applicable, for instance, in services functionality. For example, a user, company, and/or group wishing to employ a node and/or other computer in promoting a service might provide information to a remote store and/or server. As another example, a user seeking services might employ her node and/or other computer to find nodes and/or other computers promoting services. As yet another example, the node and/or other computer of the user seeking services might communicate with the remote store and/or server, and/or the user might be provided access to one or more services being promoted by nodes and/or other computers. As further examples, data tags might be employed in promoting services, a user, company, and/or group might be able to promote a service on behalf of another, statistics might be maintained, and/or compensation might be provided for services promotion.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 31, 2005Publication date: November 30, 2006Inventors: Sakari Kotola, Petri Vesikivi, Teppo Savinen, Ari Koli
