  • Patent number: 8914867
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for redirecting data traffic are provided. The method includes receiving a service request from a first device, allocating resources for the service, associating the resources with a first unique identifier, confirming the service request with the first device, receiving a connection request from a second device including the first unique identifier and an authentication certificate, passing the authentication certificate to the first device, and receiving an authentication confirmation from the first device. The method further includes, in response to receiving the authentication confirmation, accepting the connection request from the second device, providing an indication regarding at least one local area network to the second device, and providing required credentials associated with the at least one local area network to the second device.

  • Patent number: 7356627
    Abstract: A data handling device capable of operating in a system in which two or more devices are connected by a data bus for the transmission of communications therebetween, the data bus having two or more data lines and the device having: two or more data bus connectors, each for connection to a respective data line of the data bus; an identity acquisition unit capable of functioning in a first mode of operation of the device to receive data transmitted over the data bus and in response to the order in which the bits of one or more data words of a predetermined form are received on the data bus connectors during the first mode of operation determine an identity for the device and store the identity in an identity store of the device; and a data handling unit capable of functioning in a second mode of operation of the device to handle communications transmitted over the bus and that specify the identity stored in the data store as a destination.

  • Patent number: 7266393
    Abstract: A method of connecting an access point to other network elements in a wireless telecommunication system having at least one access point offering wireless connections, and at least one fixed network part, includes storing data on an IC card for connecting at least one access point to a functional connection with the fixed network part. The IC card is connected to a functional connection with the access point when the access point is to be connected to the fixed network part. Necessary resources of the fixed network part are connected to a functional connection with the access point on the basis of said stored data. As a precondition for the connection, the IC card's rights to use the resources of the fixed network part can be checked in the fixed network part.

  • Patent number: 7016548
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method in image processing, wherein an image in digital form is in coding phase compressed, quantized by a quantization matrix (QL, QC) and coded by a coding matrix (HL1, HK1, HL2), wherein one or more data frames are formed. In a decoding phase decoding, dequantization and decompression is carried out to the information comprised in the data frame. One or more matrices (QL, QC, HL1, HK1, HL2) used in the coding phase are left out of the data frame, wherein the corresponding matrix is stored into coding device (8) performing the decoding phase.
