Patent number: 7957729Abstract: The present invention relates to communication system comprising first and second communication devices (11,12) each capable of communicating with a telecommunications network (10), and both being connectable to each other by a data link (17) for information transfer and to a method for operating the same. The first communication device (11) contains individual information, and the second communication device (12) comprises a special memory area (21) for storing individual information acquired from the first communication device (11). To enable an improved and facilitated usage of the system comparator means (22) for comparing the individual information contained in the first communication device (11) with that stored in the special memory area (21) of the second communication (12) device are provided.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2002Date of Patent: June 7, 2011Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Martin Roter, Andreas Juraschek, Andreas Freyer, Thomas Roes, Jens Jakobsen, Uwe Pertz, Steven Rowland, Miska Hiltunen, Ilpo Helminen

Patent number: 7003283Abstract: A short messaging communication system for communicating short messages to a user located in an operating region of the system. Information beacons or beacons which function as store and forward devices operable in a corresponding local operating region communicate with terminal devices that are located within the local operating region. Short messages can be “private” messages wherein only specified recipients are permitted access, or “public” messages whose access is not limited to specific users. A message stored on a beacon can be retrieved by a recipient when the recipient's presence in the operating range is detected, whereupon the beacon will wirelessly transmit the message to the recipient device. For private messages, a password or other security access code may be required for input into the receiving device to decipher the received message.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2004Date of Patent: February 21, 2006Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Miska Hiltunen, Jarkko Lempiö
