  • Patent number: 7953665
    Abstract: A method for delivering content to be locked in a user device is provided. The method includes receiving a content selection. A device identifier that is operable to identify a specified user device is received. A lock message is generated based on the content selection. The lock message is sent to the user device identified by the device identifier.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 21, 2001
    Date of Patent: May 31, 2011
    Assignee: Nokia Corporation

  • Patent number: 7574237
    Abstract: A system and method to obtain a nickname for records, particularly records having number fields. A set of triplets is identified in a record 401. Criteria, at least at a strict level, is set to establish that used triplets are many, and hard to avoid 403. Using this criteria, triplets may be processed in order 405. Each triplet is checked against the criteria 407. Avoidance of the used criteria, i.e. that the current triplet is not used, enables the triplet to be associated with the record 413. Failure to avoid the used criteria enables a loop to continue if the exit criteria 409 is not met. A next triplet is obtained 410 if the inner loop continues. Otherwise, a check to get a more relaxed used triplet criteria is made 411. If a relaxed used triplet criteria is available 411, the relaxed used triplet criteria (having fewer used triplets) is used 415, and an outer loop continues with processing of the list of triplets 405 again. Otherwise, a triplet may manually be associated with the record 417.

  • Publication number: 20050107135
    Abstract: A terminal adapted to communicate via a communications system with a detectable available bandwidth includes a transmitter and a receiver for transmitting and receiving a plurality of different communications signals, respectively. Also, the terminal includes a display and a controller that drives the display. The controller is capable of detecting both available and required bandwidth levels, both the bandwidth for signal transmission and signal reception, and the type of communication signals being transmitted and received by the terminal, and controlling the operation of the display in response to thereto. As such, the display can inform the user of the terminal of the available and required bandwidth levels for transmitting and receiving a given type of communication signal.
