Abstract: A method for operating a server includes receiving, at the server, a request from a mobile device identifying a data file and retrieving the data file from a remote storage device in response to receiving the request. A party other than a party that operates the server operates the remote storage device. A number of collaborator devices are identified. Each of the number of collaborator devices is capable of establishing a mobile-to-mobile communications link with the mobile device. Respective portions of the data file are allocated to each of the number of collaborator devices based on at least one of (a) throughputs associated with the number of collaborator devices and (b) potential debits charged by the number of collaborator devices. Respective portions of the data file are transmitted to each of the number of collaborator devices according to the allocation.

Abstract: A method and device for initiation a mobile originating service-based inter-system handover. At least two radio access networks (RANs) of different types, i.e. RAN of a first type and a RAN of a second type. A dual-mode mobile terminal communicates with the communication system via the RAN of the first type. The initiation of the inter-system handover is included in a transmission including a bearer capability (BC) field. The BC field indicates that a requested service is only operable with the RAN of the second type. In particular, at least one BC field is set to a parameter value, which serves as indication for the receiving network and its processing entities, respectively, which receiving network indicated to carry out the inter-system handover initiated by the mobile terminal.

Abstract: A method, mobile device, network device, system, and software product are presented for providing an indication whether a source radio network controller requests to receive system information from a handover target, and for receiving the system information in a target to source transparent container, if the indication requests to receive the system information.

Abstract: A method includes playing a video clip upon the end of a communication between two users. Another method includes playing an audio clip upon the end of a communication between two users. The audio clip may have been downloaded to a device of at least one of the users or it may be selected by a first user for playing on the device of a second user.

Abstract: A system and method for authorizing access to digital content includes encoding, with a processor, a digital content with a unique identifier. The digital content is delivered to an authorized user. A query is received from a second user and it is determined if the second user is the authorized user. If the second user is not an authorized user one of a payment authorization for the digital content is received from either the authorized user or the second user and an instruction is received to disable the digital content.

Abstract: A method, a computer program product, a mobile terminal, and system are provided. For example, the method includes receiving a work plan comprising at least one work item with a mobile terminal, wherein the work item includes an initial location of at least one identification device. The method also includes reading identification information contained on the identification device with the mobile terminal and identifying a deployed location of the identification device. Moreover, the method includes providing the identification information and the deployed location such that the work plan can be updated.

Abstract: A method includes sending media clips provided by date candidates to a device of a seeker for viewing by the seeker, receiving a selection of a candidate from the seeker device, sending a media clip provided by the seeker to a device of the selected candidate for playing and facilitating a call between the seeker and the candidate if the candidate agrees.

Abstract: A method includes matching at least one device-associated contact from a list of contacts on a mobile device with at least one web-associated contact from another list of contacts associated with a web-based application and downloading media content associated with the at least one web-associated contact to the mobile device with an indication of the device-associated contact with which it is to be associated. The mobile device launches media content associated with a contact on the occasion of call related activity with the contact.

Abstract: A method for a downloadable personalization content manager to present media content on a communication device of a user includes the downloadable personalization content manager receiving video content and in response to a non-call activating event, the downloadable personalization content manager enabling presentation of said video content to take precedence over the activating of other applications for said non-call activating event.

Abstract: A method includes sending media clips provided by date candidates to a device of a seeker for viewing by the seeker, receiving a selection of a candidate from the seeker device, sending a media clip provided by the seeker to a device of the selected candidate for playing and facilitating a call between the seeker and the candidate if the candidate agrees.

Abstract: A symphonic video clip generator implementable on a programmable mobile device, the generator includes a soundboard, a recorder and a generator. The soundboard is displayed on a screen of the programmable mobile device and displays multiple individually selectable video segments, each occupying a portion of the screen and each having a single associated audio track. The recorder records user activation and deactivation of the selectable video segments with the segments playing once activated and any activated segments playing concurrently. The generator creates a symphonic video clip from output of the recorder. The generator generates a collage of the concurrently activated video segments and a mix of concurrently activated audio tracks according to the timing of the user activation and deactivation for each activated video segment.

Abstract: A method includes previously downloading, to a device of a user, media content chosen by a buddy of the user and an indication that it is to be associated with the buddy, passing the downloaded media content to the device as the media content to be associated in a contact list with the buddy and playing the media content in response to an identification of the buddy.

Abstract: A method includes personalizing a software installation file. The personalizing includes providing the file with a unique identifier included as part of a file name associated with the file. Another method includes installing a software application from the personalized installation file, extracting the indication from the file name and using the indication to personalize the software application.

Abstract: A method includes enabling a user to define his/her buddies from among members of a community and enabling the user to select media content to be played on devices of his/her buddies. Another method includes providing media content chosen by a first user to be played by a media player on a device of a second user in response to an identification of the first user.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a Messaging Service system which includes one or more Messaging Service terminals and a control means being adapted for communication with a printing means. The Messaging Service terminal is adapted to send a message to the control means, which message contains a print-related information section and a message content section representing the message content. The print-related information section contains print-related information and designates the delivery of the message content section to the printing means or to a second Messaging Service terminal. The system is preferably implemented as a Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) system. The message content section may represent one or more images.
