Patent number: 9509756Abstract: A method, apparatus, and correspondingly configured computer program, in which a querying device inputs a user an identification of desired content and sends a query request for the desired content to surrounding memory devices. The query request is adapted to cause compatible receiving memory devices to perform a search based on the request. The memory devices are configured to listen to query requests and responsively perform searches based on the queries. Any memory device that finds content according to the query request responds to the query device which, after sending the query request, monitors for the compatible receiving memory devices for information that the queried content is found. Responsive to receiving the information from a given memory device, the querying device establishes a connection with the given memory device and obtains the content.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2014Date of Patent: November 29, 2016Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Jarmo Arponen, Antti Lappetelainen, Joni Jantunen, Olli Tyrkko

Patent number: 9304942Abstract: A system for controlling access to resources in an apparatus when the apparatus is not active. Emerging technologies may allow information to be accessed in an apparatus memory without the operating system of the apparatus facilitating the access. In such instances, a subsystem in the apparatus may become active upon reception of wireless signals, and may grant direct access to memory. An access control configuration for the subsystem may be implemented in order to control memory access even when other software systems are inactive. The subsystem access control configuration may be configured (e.g., by the user) when the apparatus is active, and may be established (e.g., installed or updated) upon subsystem activation.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2010Date of Patent: April 5, 2016Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Jaakko Varteva, Joni Jantunen
