Abstract: The invention relates to methods, apparatuses, systems and computer program products for discovery of nearby devices. To facilitate discovery of nearby, i.e. proximal, devices, a discovery control signal from a control device may be used to control the discovery, e.g. how or when the discovery is carried out. The devices may send proximity information based on the discovery they have carried out to be used by the control device or the control system. The control device, e.g. a server, may form the discovery control signal based on this proximity information. A proximity graph may be used in determining how the discovery is controlled. Controlling discovery by the devices may e.g. be done to avoid discovery collisions or to save energy.

Abstract: An apparatus receives coordinates of a location and selects an object of a first layer of a tree structure based on the coordinates. The apparatus determines whether data assigned to the selected object comprises an identifier of an area or a pointer to a set of objects of a respective next layer of the tree structure. If the data comprises a pointer to a set of objects, the apparatus selects one of the objects from the set of objects based on the received coordinates and continues with determining whether data assigned to the selected object comprises an identifier or a pointer. If the data comprises an identifier of an area, the apparatus reads the data comprising the identifier and provides the identifier as a result of a mapping of a location to an identifier of an area. A computer readable storage medium stores a database having a corresponding tree structure.

Abstract: A method includes determining at a proxy server that web session(s) corresponding to a first client device are available for downloading by a second client device. The web session(s) originally originated by a particular user using the first client device and comprise browser information, and the first and second client devices are different physical devices. A message is sent from the proxy server to the second client device indicating the proxy server has available the web session(s). Information is downloaded from the proxy server to the second client device for the web session(s). The downloaded information allows the second client device to render corresponding views of the web session(s) at a point where the first client device left off in the web session(s). Apparatus and computer program products are also disclosed. Methods, apparatus, and program products are disclosed for the client device.
