Abstract: Methods, portable electronic devices and servers are provided for downloading applications to a portable electronic device from a server based presence of a certain number of portable electronic devices having a common element in a defined region at a same time. The at least one application or event is stored at the server. The at least one application or event is associated with portable electronic devices having a common element. Current position information is received from the portable electronic devices having the common element.

Abstract: A portable communication device, for example a mobile telephone, imports non-address information from a contact for use in communicating with the contact and/or planning or scheduling a calendar of one or more events, activities or the like. The non-address information may be imported to a local calendar in the portable communication device, and after use the information may be deleted to avoid polluting the local calendar. A method of importing information to a local calendar for use and deleting the information after it is not needed.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for demonstrating an electronic device, said device is adapted for wireless network connection, comprising a real demo step for executing applications of said electronic device, said applications do not requiring to identify and/or connect to said wireless network connection. The present invention is further directed to a corresponding device adapted for wireless network connection.

Abstract: A mobile communications device includes a fingerprint scanner for generating a scanned fingerprint output data responsive to a scanned fingerprint. The scanned fingerprint output is compared to a reference fingerprint pattern such that a code memo application containing a plurality of data entries each having an associated identifier may be temporarily accessed during a selected period of time if the scanned fingerprint output data matches the reference fingerprint pattern. During the selected period, one of the plurality of data entries may be selected and inserted into a dialog.

Abstract: A method and device partition physical transmission resources of a physical network. At first, a set of logical networks is established on top of the physical network. The logical networks comprise nodes and logical links extending between the nodes so as to form the logical networks. The logical links are used by routes. Next, the capacities of the logical links of the logical networks are determined such that the route blocking probability on each individual route in each one of the logical networks is less than or equal to a maximum allowed blocking probability for each individual route. This is realized by distributing, for each individual route, the route blocking evenly among the logical links used by the individual route. Finally, the physical transmission resources are allocated among the logical links of the logical networks according to the determination.

Abstract: A set of logical networks is established on top of a physical network Next, a predefined objective function, closely related to the operation and performance of the physical network, which physical network is viewed as the set of logical networks, is optimized with respect to at least one set of decision variables. Finally, the decision variables in accordance with the optimization are used to control the operation of the overall network system. Physical transmission resources are partitioned among logical networks. Traffic loads are distributed among routes interconnecting the nodes of node pairs.

Abstract: A resource model for modeling the resources of a telecommunication network that uses a number of different switching technologies. The resource model comprises three layers, a network layer, a node layer and a component layer, each layer comprising resource objects. The resource objects of the network layer are encapsulated to applications which use the network. The resource objects of the node layer are encapsulated to the resource objects of the network layer and the resource objects at the component layer are encapsulated to the resource objects of the node layer. The resource model comprises connection handling function for setting up connections in the telecommunication network. The functions are divided into function components.
