Publication number: 20190334974Abstract: A system for uploading content includes a sender capable of sending an upload request, where the upload request comprises a request to upload content from the sender to a recipient. The system also includes a network entity, such as the recipient, capable of operating an upload agent. The upload agent, in turn, is capable of receiving the upload request, and thereafter determining an upload schedule relating to the time and/or manner of uploading the content. The sender can then be capable of uploading the content to the recipient in accordance with the upload schedule. The network entity can be further capable of recovering an upload session that has encountered an interruption.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 12, 2019Publication date: October 31, 2019Inventors: Janne L. AALTONEN, Ari HANNIKAINEN, Ahti Eemeli MUHONEN, Antti-Pentti VAINIO

Patent number: 8122145Abstract: A system is provided that includes a plurality of clients and a server capable of assigning the plurality of clients to at least one group for the transfer of content to the server and/or from the server. The server is capable of assigning at least one of the clients based upon a size of the content, a transfer speed, and a probability of transferring the content without experiencing an interruption in the transfer. In this regard, the server can also be capable of collecting statistical data relating to the transfer speed and probability to thereby determine the transfer speed and probability. After assigning the clients to the group(s), at least one of the clients can be capable of downloading content from, or uploading content to, the server based upon the group(s).Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2004Date of Patent: February 21, 2012Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Ahti Muhonen, Antti-Pentti Vainio, Ari Hännikäinen

Patent number: 7606559Abstract: A system is provided for forwarding content. The system includes a terminal capable of sending a request to transfer content, the request being sent from a terminal over a first network such as a wireless or other high latency network, and over a second network such as a wireline or other low latency network. The system also includes a source capable of sending the content, and a destination capable of receiving the content, both over the second network independent of the first network to thereby transfer the content from the source to the destination. By transferring content independent of the first network, the system can transfer content without the latency that follows from transferring content over such a wireless or other high latency network. Digital rights management of content transferred from a source to a destination is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2004Date of Patent: October 20, 2009Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Ari Aarnio, Kenneth Paqvalén, Ahti Muhonen, Antti-Pentti Vainio, Ari Hännikäinen
