Abstract: Advertising messages are provided to mobile terminals of those users identified by user information as meeting certain criteria, such as users fitting particular user profiles and/or users located in a particular desired location. The content of the advertising messages is dynamically generated based on the number of mobile terminals to whom the advertising message is to be sent and the advertising message is sent to the identified mobile terminals over a mobile network or a short range communication signal. In the latter case, location information may be sent to the mobile terminal along with an advertising message. Where the content of an advertising message comprises an electronic coupon, the value of the coupon depends on the number of mobile terminals to whom the advertising message is to be sent. A mobile terminal user can redeem an electronic coupon by transmitting it from his mobile terminal to a coupon redemption terminal.

Abstract: The invention is a system (10) and method for providing personal calendar services.

Abstract: A cellular telecommunication apparatus (1) and a method for converting currencies, wherein the apparatus comprises transceiver means (19), input means (7-10), output means (3), and control means (18). The transceiver means (19) is arranged to send/receive a request/respond to/from a telecommunication network. The input means (7-10) is arranged to give an input (310) of a representation of a first currency. The output means (3) is arranged to display (340) a value of the first currency converted into a second currency. The control means (18) is operatively arranged to said transceiver (19) means, input means (7-10) and output means (3). The transceiver means (19) is further arranged to send a request (320) to the network. The request comprising a question about the value of the first currency, inputted to the input means (7-10), converted into the second currency. The transceiver means is also arranged to receive a respond (330) comprising information about the second currency.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for upgrading a target device via a wireless connection. Upgrade is executed by exploiting a wireless personal communications device (101) as a gateway between the content provider server (104) and the target device (102). A DRM scheme may be applied to said method for limiting the usage of transmitted content. The content may be encapsulated in a SMS or MMS message. A wireless personal communications device (101) capable of executing the presented method can be used e.g. as a personalization tool for downloadable sounds to be reproduced by a target device (102) such as a toy.

Abstract: A mobile communication device utilizes the short message service of its communication network to generate messages. The messages are constructed from a series of fields. From stored data a series of questions and optional answers are pressented. The user can select the appropriate answer from the memory. Each of the answers is correlated to a message component which are compiled by the microprocessor to form a complete message.

Abstract: Advertising messages are provided to mobile terminals of those users identified by user information as meeting certain criteria, such as users fitting particular user profiles and/or users located in a particular desired location. The content of the advertising messages is dynamically generated based on the number of mobile terminals to whom the advertising message is to be sent and the advertising message is sent to the identified mobile terminals over a mobile network or a short range communication signal. In the latter case, location information may be sent to the mobile terminal along with an advertising message. Where the content of an advertising message comprises an electronic coupon, the value of the coupon depends on the number of mobile terminals to whom the advertising message is to be sent. A mobile terminal user can redeem an electronic coupon by transmitting it from his mobile terminal to a coupon redemption terminal.

Abstract: A method and apparatus to collect risk factor information and location data associated with asthma patients and to provide information to these patients about the air quality is disclosed. A mobile two-way communication tool is used to facilitate air quality analysis based on human reactions and clustering methods. The method includes measuring predetermined physiological and dynamic parameters associated with a user, transmitting the measured predetermined parameters to an analysis tool, analyzing the measured physiological and dynamic predetermined parameters to determine advisory information associated with the measured predetermined physiological and dynamic parameters and transmitting the advisory information to the user. The measuring predetermined physiological and dynamic parameters associated with a user includes measuring physiological conditions of the user, such as respiratory function indications.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of intelligent network services from a terminal (3) of a telecommunication network and particularly to the introduction of new services and a programmable user interface of a terminal. A service provider (5) programs service functions in a switching centre (1) of a telecommunication network and delivers to a user a program which is loaded in the user's terminal (3). According to the loaded program the terminal, advantageously a telephone apparatus equipped with a display (7), shows to the user the available services and the corresponding commands assigned to the function keys (8a) of the terminal. The user gives the required commands which advantageously are one-push-of-a-button long and the meanings of which at each particular situation are shown on the terminal's display. Advantageously the program is delivered to the user by loading it in an intelligent card (6) controlling the operation of the terminal.
