System, apparatus and method for creating service accounts and configuring devices for use therewith
Patent number: 9917921Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating creation of service provider accounts and configuration of devices associated therewith. Device parameters (306) are transmitted (700) from a device (302). In response, a service activation server (206) provides (308) a list of available service providers for that device (302), where the list is derived (702) using the device parameters to identify the appropriate available service providers. The device (302) enables the user (300) to select (704) a listed service provider(s), and communication is redirected (706) between the device (302) and the selected service provider (208) to enable the creation of the service account. The device (302) can then be configured for use with the established service account. Where a service account already exists for the user (300), the user (300) can provide a service-related identifier (506) from which the service activation server (206) can identify an appropriate service account to be configured for use on the device (302).Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2007Date of Patent: March 13, 2018Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Esa Erola, Ville Warsta -
Patent number: 8359018Abstract: A system and method for enabling the operation of intervendor and intravendor messaging service systems within an operator network includes correctly routing data messages and handshaking messages between the various system components. In one aspect, the present invention uses the uniform resource identifier of a particular messaging system to route one or more handshaking messages from a target terminal to the particular messaging system. In another aspect, the present invention uses a message transaction identification embedded in the handshaking message to direct the handshaking message to the correct messaging service system. In one embodiment, the transaction identification is analyzed by a load balancing switch to determine the location of the particular messaging service system. In another embodiment, one or more of the several messaging service systems in the operator network are used to analyze the transaction identification to determine the location of the particular messaging service system.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2006Date of Patent: January 22, 2013Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Teppo Savinen, Ville Warsta

Patent number: 7643786Abstract: The invention relates to a method for enabling a content provider initiated delivery of a content clip to a mobile terminal 4 via a communication network, which communication network comprises different types of radio access networks 1,2, and which content clip is required to be delivered via a specific type of radio access network. In order to enable such a delivery, it is proposed that in case it is determined that the mobile terminal 4 does not access the communication network via a radio access network 2 of the type required for the delivery of the content clip, a handover of the mobile terminal 4 to a radio access network 2 of the required type is triggered. The content clip can then be delivered to the mobile terminal 4. The invention relates equally to a corresponding system, to a corresponding communication network and to elements performing the proposed steps.Type: GrantFiled: April 3, 2002Date of Patent: January 5, 2010Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Lauri Söderbacka, Ville Warsta

Publication number: 20040181550Abstract: A system and method for providing previously adapted content to requesting network devices. The requesting network device capabilities are compared to the previous requesting network device capabilities, such that if a capability match is found, previously adapted content may be transmitted to the requesting network device, obviating the need for an additional adaptation. In another embodiment, a pre-adaptation method is employed, whereby content adaptations for all known network device capabilities are cached for future use.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2003Publication date: September 16, 2004Inventors: Ville Warsta, Teppo Savinen, Petri Timonen
