Abstract: Provided are apparatuses and methods for social networking applications and services. New applications and services based on a common runtime may be developed. Such applications and services may allow scripts to be loaded and interpreted. Furthermore, dynamic links generated by the scripts may be sent to an application engine for execution. The dynamic links may also be sent (e.g., shared) with other devices and/or users in a social networking environment.

Abstract: Transferring peer-to-peer (P2P) file distribution tasks involve beginning a file transfer session at a first apparatus via an Internet-based, peer-to-peer, distributed file transfer network. A local connection between the first apparatus and a second apparatus is established via a local network while the file transfer session is ongoing. Data describing remaining tasks of the ongoing file transfer session is transferred to the second apparatus via the local connection. The file transfer session is assumed by the second apparatus via the file transfer network, and the first apparatus then discontinues further tasks related to the file transfer session.

Abstract: A method and a device such as a modern mobile terminal for addressing reachability information over a wireless communications network providing access to a number of data elements. First, criteria are obtained for finding information related to at least a single person or entity (404), and then, a search is conducted in the wireless communications network or a connected network thereof in order to access data substantially fulfilling the criteria (406). Next, at least part of the data found is associated with a context (408), and finally the reachability information is established on the basis of the context (410).

Abstract: Provided are apparatuses and methods in a mobile transmission system for sharing data between mobile terminals. Application data such as a video image including, for example, a television program, a computer application, or a gaming application may be transmitted from one mobile terminal to another mobile terminal in real-time so that multiple users may view the data or video images simultaneously and in real-time.

Abstract: The present invention concerns methods and apparatus providing an operating system of a portable communications device with modular active graphical user interface functionality. In methods and apparatus of the present invention, multiple separate and distinct active graphical user interface objects are available for selection by users to perform active graphical user interface display functions. In addition, the present invention provides apparatus and methods that implement context-sensitive active graphical user interface objects. The present invention further provides users with the ability to integrate active graphical user interface objects created by third parties into the operating system of portable communications devices. Thereafter, the active graphical user interface objects created by third parties are available to perform active graphical user interface functions.

Abstract: A Bluetooth enabled device can include a transceiver that broadcasts and receives radio signals during a communication session and a processor with programmed instructions to modify a device name during connection setup for the communication session and to return the device name to a non-modified name at a time after connection setup has been completed or after the communication session ends. Another Bluetooth device can include a transceiver that broadcasts and receives radio signals during a communication session and a processor with programmed instructions to search for at least one device with a certain modified device name to initiate the communication session.

Abstract: A system for effectuating a push-to-talk service in a gaming environment includes a network entity within a gaming architecture, where the network entity is capable of operating an electronic game. The system also includes a client capable of interacting with the network entity in the gaming architecture to play an electronic game. The client is also capable of establishing a push-to-talk session in a multimedia service architecture. The push-to-talk session has at least one associated parameter, which the client can transfer one or more of the parameters to the network entity. Accordingly, the network entity is capable of advertising the parameters to at least one other client to thereby enable the other clients to join the push-to-talk session based upon the parameters.

Abstract: A communication system comprising a data communication network, a service provider and a communication terminal is described. The communication terminal includes a user interaction device, a processor, a memory and a character stored in the memory and capable of running on the processor and of providing a presence on the user interaction device. The communication system also comprises an agent residing in the data communication network being configurable to collect data from the service provider, of providing a continuous follow-up of occurrences in the network and of providing the data to the character. The character is configurable to approach the agent and to receive the data from the agent over a wireless link supported by the communication terminal and to present the data to the user by means of the user interaction device. Furthermore, a method for data transfer from a service provider to a communication terminal over a data communication network is described.
