Abstract: Disclosed is a system for generating at least one instant storyline feed of a live sporting event for a second screen, while the live sporting event is displayed on a first screen. The system includes a second screen server configured to receive information corresponding to at least one sporting event from an event production system, a result system and one or more external information sources. The second screen server is also configured to process the received information and create one or more indications based on the received information, the indications collectively form the instant storyline feed corresponding to the at least one live sporting event. The system also includes a second screen application executing on the second screen for receiving and displaying the one or more indications thereon.

Abstract: Disclosed are a system and a method for producing a storyline feed for a sporting event. The system and method comprises forming a first indication at a first location, the first indication is based on a combination of timing information and location information of at least one athlete at the first location. The first indication is compared with predefined information to predict a second indication at a second location. The predefined information comprises information about a performance of at least one athlete and information about the sporting event. The storyline feed is formed of the first indications and the predicted second indications.

Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method are disclosed for providing quality of service (QoS) for a network data connection. The network data connection uses a network protocol selectable from a plurality of network protocols. A QoS module can receive a request for a generic QoS and apply this to the network protocol using a specific QoS associated with the protocol. The QoS module may include features for automatic management of QoS and a user interface for changing data connection parameters.

Abstract: A method and system for activating a context in a first network so as to transfer a call via said first network and a second network is provided. The method may include receiving a setup message according to an application protocol using a signaling or default context within a network, determining capability information based on the message according to the application protocol and activating a context using the determined capability information. The application protocol may be setup before activating the context.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for managing Quality of Service (QoS) in a packet network (10). The method comprises feeding a predetermined information flow into the packet network. (10) for measurement purposes and measuring the characteristics of said information flow by means of a continual measurement for producing QoS information. Said Qos information is used to control communications traffic in the packet network (10) in order to manage the Quality of Service (QoS) of the packet network (10). The invention further relates to a system for managing Quality of Service (QoS) in the packet network (10).

Abstract: A device for generating a 3D image based on 2D graphical content of an image and depth information (i.e., Z-map) to be displayed on a display includes an application processor, a graphical processing unit (GPU), a 3D rendering unit and a display. The application processor is capable of sending 2D graphical content to the GPU, which is stored in memory. The GPU also includes a depth table having predefined depth information corresponding to the 2D graphical content. The GPU includes a depth module which monitors or identifies the 2D graphical content and requests a graphics library to paint a corresponding area in the Z-map that has the same size and position in the Z-map as that of the 2D graphical content. The GPU sends the 2D graphical content and the painted Z-map to a 3D rendering unit which creates a 3D image to be shown on a display.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and system for activating a context in a first network so as to transfer a call and/or a transaction via said first network and a second network. Initially, an application protocol such as H.323, H.248 or SIP is set up using a signaling or default context within the first network. Based on a message of the application protocol transmitted from the second network, a capability information is determined and used to activate the context. Thereby, the capabilities can be agreed in advance and the context can be activated e.g. as a secondary context for both mobile-originated and mobile-terminated calls and/or transactions. Accordingly, a reservation protocol is no longer required to signal the capability requirements to the second network, and signaling load can be decreased.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing information services to a user includes a microserver disposed at the user's home or office. The microserver is connected to a communication network which is connected to a global computer network, and the user's mobile or fixed telephone terminal. At least one service server is connected to the user's mobile or fixed terminal via the global computer network, the communication network and the microserver. Through the disposition of microserver at the user's primary location, the service server can transmit general or user specific service information to the user via their mobile and/or fixed terminal. The problems of localization of the user are eliminated by the implementation of the microsever at the user's primary communication location.

Abstract: Apparatus, and an associated method, forms an integrated packet radio communication system. An integrated system is formed of portions of a GPRS system as well as portions of a WLAN system, such as that defined in the IEEE 802.11 standard. A WIP (WLAN Integrated Protocol) layer is defined, functionally positioned between upper-level, GPRS layers and lower-level, WLAN layers. Advantages of a GPRS system as well as advantages of the WLAN system are maintained in the integrated system.

Abstract: A system and method of providing flexible QoS actions through communication to neighboring network elements of the local QoS actions taken by the local network element. The neighboring network elements may then take into account the QoS actions taken by the local network element when the neighboring network elements are contemplating their own QoS actions to be taken. Thus, a limited range of visibility of QoS actions facilitates subsequent QoS actions taken by the network elements within the limited range of visibility.
