Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for Service provisioning in a communications system that comprises a plurality of communications devices, each including a tag reader for reading a tag-identifier from a tag attached to an object and for forwarding this tag-identifier to a service provisioning server. This service provisioning server is coupled to the communications devices over a communications network and the tag having a unique tag-identification. The service provisioning method further includes the steps of forwarding by a communications device of the plurality of communications devices a trigger message including trigger-information at reading the tag-identification of the tag towards the service provisioning server. Subsequently, a service-description of a service based on the trigger-information associated with the service stored in a service-list is determined followed by the executing of the service determined by the service provisioning server based on the retrieved service description.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for resolving a service to be provisioned to a terminal device (TD) by, a service resolving server (SRS). The terminal device is coupled over a communications network (CN) to the service resolving server. The terminal device comprises an auto-identification reader (ARP) for reading an auto-identification associated to an object or person. The system further comprises a context retrieving part (CRP) that is adapted to retrieve context information related to the auto-identification and further a service resolving part (SRP) that is adapted to resolve the service to be provisioned from a plurality of services based on the auto-identification in combination with the context information.

Abstract: A user device is disclosed comprising; a. an identification means for identifying the movement of the user device according to a predetermined gesture; b. a communication means for communicating with a further user device; c. a trigger means for triggering an exchange of predetermined information with the further user device by means of the communication means, based on the identification; wherein it further comprises; d. a buffer means adapted for temporarily storing predetermined information which is to be exchanged when triggered by the trigger means. Further, related methods, modules, auxiliary devices, and systems are disclosed.

Abstract: A method for retrieving a lost entity by means of a cell based wireless telecommunication network is disclosed, comprising determining a presence probability distribution of the lost entity for a predetermined geographical area; and transmitting information of the lost entity to at least one set of predetermined retrieving entities, as a function of the probability distribution, by means of the cell based wireless telecommunication network. Related systems, devices and wireless communication networks have also been provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for providing to an end device access to a service in accordance with a specific profile. The method including the steps of: sending information identifying the specific profile and identifying the end device to a transfer server, the transfer server obtaining the specific profile from a database based on that information, the transfer server identifying a service manager able to provide the service based on said specific profile, the transfer server requesting the service manager to provide to the end device access to the service. The information is obtained by proximity based interaction between the end device and a mobile device, and it consists of a first part identifying the end device and of a second part identifying the specific profile. The second part is stored in the mobile device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for determining a geographical location and to related devices where the system comprises an auto-ID enabled geographical mapping means that is adapted to represent a plurality of geographical points, each point of said plurality of geographical points of said geographical mapping means being associated with an auto-ID; and an auto-ID reading means that in turn is adapted to read the auto-ID associated to a point of said plurality of geographical points on the geographical map. Then a resolution means is able to resolve a geographical location of said geographical point related to said auto-ID.
