  • Publication number: 20080201299
    Abstract: Methods and systems for managing metadata are described. The method comprises steps of receiving a request from an application to access a metadata attribute corresponding to a piece of content, determining whether the application is authorized to access the metadata attribute, retrieving the metadata attribute upon determining that the application is authorized to access the metadata attribute, and transmitting the metadata attribute to the application. A metadata storage medium may be accessed and searched for the metadata attribute. A system for associating content data, context data, and an event is also described. The system allows for a user to search for content data based upon context data. Another method for associating data is described. The method includes steps of initiating a mufti-media call session, initiating an application independent of the mufti-media call session, and associating collected metadata from the application and the mufti-media call session.

  • Patent number: 7379958
    Abstract: A system and method for dynamically updating service information from a service provider to a data terminal in an access point network wherein an access point requests service information from a local server; in response, the access point receives service information from the local server. Subsequently, the access point maps the service information to a link-level communication Service Discovery Protocol (SDP). The access point then sends the mapped service information to a data terminal.

  • Publication number: 20060140177
    Abstract: A method and a device set a route for a communication connection of a communication unit in a mobile network environment. When a communication unit connects to a routing network element it is determined by the routing network element whether the communication unit belongs to the same home network as the routing network element. Then, a selection for an address information to be sent to the communication unit is made. If it is determined that the communication unit belongs to the same home network as the routing network element, a first type of address information is selected. If it is determined that the communication unit belongs not to the same home network as the routing network element, a second type of address information is selected. The selected address information is sent from the routing network element to the communication unit, in which it is used for setting a route for the communication unit.

  • Publication number: 20020173569
    Abstract: The invention relates to a concentrated, non-agglomerating, soluble and compatible drag reducing agent composition. It contains (a) from 1 to 60% of a polymer, e.g. non-crystalline and ultrahigh molecular weight poly-&agr;-olefin, capable of reducing drag, and (b) from 40 to 99% of a natural fat or oil, e.g. linseed or rapeseed oil, based on the comined weight of (a) and (b). Preferably, it also contains (c) from 0.1 to 50% of a dispersion stabilising agent, e.g. a fatty acid soap, based on the combined weight of (a), (b) and (c).
