Abstract: Aspects of the invention described herein provide a method and apparatus for the synchronization of metadata across various metadata repositories. According to the invention, upon synchronization of a local metadata repository and at least one remote metadata repository, metadata values are stored in a local collection or mediator database. The mediator database facilitates conflict resolution across metadata repositories. The invention further provides a repository-specific metadata memory to enable the storage of repository-specific metadata histories to further enhance management and synchronization of the metadata.

The identity determining module is further configured to assign a tag to the content item based on the identity.

Abstract: A system and method for descriptively naming links to facilitate subsequent identification of the links. Various naming sources are identified as candidates for inclusion in a link name for the link. Naming rules are applied to identify one or more of the naming sources to be included in the link name. The link name is generated based on the naming sources identified by the naming rules.

Abstract: Displaying network content searches on mobile devices involves obtaining results of a network content request via a mobile device. A geolocation of at least one object associated with the results of the network content request is also obtained. A scene is viewed in a camera view of the mobile device. A virtual location is determined in the camera view. The virtual location represents the actual location of the object relative to the scene contained in the camera view. A graphic representing the object is then displayed at the virtual location in the camera view.

In another aspect, the present invention relates to presentation of the selected content items are discussed. In yet another aspect, the present invention relates to the composition of textual characterizations of content.

Abstract: A memory efficient method and electronic device for counting frequencies of various events. The structure for storing frequency data comprises primary (204) and secondary (206) storages which contain frequency data (208, 210, 214) in different levels of detail. The primary storage (204) is a detailed storage comprising both event type and count information units in a fully restorable form. The secondary storage (206) is targeted for more infrequent events with lower level of detail and constructed as an array of count values addressed by a hash function using event type as an input. Another option is to derive a shortened ID from the event type by utilizing a hash function and exploit the ID as an addressing key for the corresponding count. Events are moved between primary (204) and secondary (206) storages depending on the detected event type frequencies. The invention is utilized in a recommendation engine for grading and sorting bookmarks stored in browsers for accessing the Internet.

Abstract: A distributed recommendation system and method provides greater privacy for user's private data. Tasks of a recommendation system are distributed between wireless devices and network servers, to protect end users privacy. Greater privacy for context-sensitive, adaptive, user interfaces is provided for Internet service usage by wireless devices. The user's wireless device sends a current context-activity pair to a network server in response to either the user's selection of an activity or automatically, while protecting the user's privacy. The user's wireless device includes a service history log. The activities stored in the service history log include past recommendations made by the network server, past services used, prestored service preferences, and special requested service requirements. Context-activity pair information sent to the server protects user privacy and can include any combination of these activities. The server responds to an appropriate recommendation.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for facilitating user selection of communication recipients via communication devices. Communication attributes of previous communication events involving the communication device are monitored. Selection criteria are established based on the monitored communication attributes. One or more adaptive recipient history lists are maintained, which correspond to contacts that are affiliated with the communication events satisfying the selection criteria. At least one of the adaptive recipient history lists are presented to the user via the communication device, thereby allowing the user to select the intended recipient via more relevant, focused short lists of likely recipients.

Abstract: This invention relates to generating a list of devices in physical proximity of each other and utilizing said list, for example, for sharing of content between a plurality of mobile devices applying individual media items such as address book entries, calendar entries, and/or Short Messaging Services (SMS) or Multimedia Messaging Services (MMS) messages.

Abstract: A distributed recommendation system and method are disclosed that provides greater privacy for the user's private data. The method distributes the tasks of a recommendation system between wireless devices and network servers, so as to protect the privacy of end users. The system and method provide greater privacy for context-sensitive, adaptive, user interfaces for Internet service usage by wireless devices. The users wireless device sends a current context-activity pair to a network server in response to either the user's selection of an activity or automatically. The server then responds an appropriate recommendation. Recommendations received from the server by the wireless device are filtered to identify new or significant information. As the system makes new recommendations to users in response to context-activity pairs submitted by their wireless devices, the server gathers the new context-activity pairs and recommendations and adds them to its context-activity pair database.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method, a device and a process for distributing various tasks performed by a mobile terminal (101) over time. The idea of the invention is to increase talk and standby times of said terminal (101) by executing as many power consuming, delayable tasks as possible when the terminal is connected to a charging device (102). Advanced solution exploits e.g. ideal task execution time intervals, the calculation of which is based on gathered user profile information. An intelligent charging device (102) with memory and processing means to share the task execution with said terminal (101) or to completely take care of some tasks on behalf of said terminal (101) is presented.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and network element for controling power and/or load in a network, wherein a reference table is stored and used for deriving a reference control value from at least one connection-specific parameter. The power and/or load control is then performed based on the derived reference control value. The reference control values stored in the reference table are estimated based on a real measurement of at least one predetermined network parameter, and the reference table is updated using the estimated reference control values. Thereby, an autotuning mechanism is provided to adjust the reference control values based on real measurements, so that real location-dependent radio propagation conditions are taken into account.
