Abstract: Targeted advertising is disclosed. Advertiser-set targeted consumer advertising is saved with interest, location, and time as selection parameters for the targeted consumer. Immediate consumer-triggered interest information is received from a client apparatus of a consumer, and location information determining the present location of the client apparatus is also received. The immediate consumer-triggered interest information indicates immediate interest of the consumer in some good and/or service and/or brand and resulting from consumer interaction with a user interface of the client apparatus. It is searched, in response to receiving the immediate consumer triggered interest information, for such advertiser-set targeted consumer advertising whose interest selection parameter matches the interest information, whose location selection parameter matches the location information, and whose time selection parameter matches the present time.

A commission invoice for the targeted consumer advertising is issued to an advertiser. A consumer fee invoice fixing a sum total of the consumer-specific micropayment orders is issued to the advertiser.

Abstract: A mobile telephone network in which user identify module (UIM) locking is activated automatically by the network via signalling over the base station to mobile telephone common air interface. The telephone network periodically or regularly queries the Internal Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) of the mobile telephone being used by subscribers on the system. If the IMEI of a mobile telephone is found on a `stolen list` the network may then command the mobile station to activate UIM locking by messaging to and from the mobile telephone over the air interface to activate the UIM locking function using a transmitted bit pattern.

Abstract: In a speed dialing method for a telephone unit, a dialed telephone number is automatically stored in a speed dialing memory. The memory is automatically sorted at each call, the telephone numbers always being in an order determined by their dialing frequency, with the most frequently dialed number at the top. By pressing step/skip buttons, the caller can scan such an adaptable memory. The method is applied in mobile telephones, in particular car radiophones.
