Patent number: 10291557Abstract: An application server (204, 300), a first user equipment, UE, (200, 400), a second UE (206, 500) and corresponding methods for use in an Internet protocol multimedia subsystem, IMS, and for streaming media content between the first UE and the second UE using the Rich Communications Services, RCS, standard. The first UE transmits media content to an application server (204, 300) as an RCS file transfer. The application server receives the media content from the first UE as an RCS file transfer and stores the media content in a memory (306). The first UE compiles a message comprising a media content identifier and transmits the compiled message to the second UE using an RCS text based communication. The second UE receives the RCS text based communication from the first UE and transmits a request for the media content to the application server.Type: GrantFiled: March 3, 2014Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Björn Norhammar, Jan Lidin

Patent number: 10123085Abstract: A method of synchronizing streaming media between a plurality of UEs connected to a communications network, wherein the UEs are involved in a SIP-enabled voice session over said communications network. A timestamp is provided to each of the UEs. Each of the UEs then sends a request for streamed media to an IPTV service, receives streamed media from the IPTV service, and commences playout of the streamed media in dependence upon the timestamp.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2014Date of Patent: November 6, 2018Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Björn Norhammar, Fredrik Lindholm

Publication number: 20120231761Abstract: A method in a communication network for providing user traffic statistics on user traffic generated in the communication network is provided, wherein statistics involving a subscribing user being registered to one or more clients one or more other clients is considered. User traffic data being received from a traffic intercepting unit and if any associated data is already stored this data is aggregated with the received data, such that user traffic associated with any client of the subscriber is aggregated. The aggregated and/or received data is then processed on the basis of pre-defined processing criteria, such that updated user traffic statistics on traffic associated with the subscriber is obtained, after which the processed data is stored, such that subsequent distribution of updated traffic statistics can be provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 23, 2009Publication date: September 13, 2012Applicant: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET L M ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Bjorn Norhammar, Christer Boberg

Publication number: 20120221722Abstract: A method can be executed at a notifier of a communication system for the purpose of handling notifications, at least partly according to a notification scheme. The basis of the method is to provisioning for a differentiated distribution rate to be applied together with the notification scheme when distributing notifications which have been received from a notification source function and which are associated with the subscriber. The provisioning is based on user traffic statistics on traffic involving a registered subscriber, and which has been generated in the communication network, and where the statistics has been acquired from a statistics server and accumulated by the notifier.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 23, 2009Publication date: August 30, 2012Applicant: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Christer Boberg, Mikael Klein, Sofie Lassborn, Anders Lindgren, Björn Norhammar

Patent number: 7907638Abstract: The present invention is directed towards a method and a portable communication device (200) for forming a real time output media stream by mixing a first real time media stream with a second media stream. Provision of mixing of media streams provides a number of attractive functions, for instance. This invention concerns how to increase the usage of a mobile VT application and how to be able to handle integrity issues when used in a portable communication device.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2004Date of Patent: March 15, 2011Assignee: Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications, ABInventors: Björn Norhammar, Tobias Lindquist
