Abstract: A method and system for managing data between a plurality of electronic devices in a Near Field Communication (NFC) network are provided. The method is performed at a first electronic device. A request is received from a second electronic device to send context data. The context data is then represented in accordance with a context Record Type Definition (RTD). The context RTD is used for defining context data in the NFC network. The context data that is represented in accordance with the context RTD is exchanged with the second electronic device.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of performing a supervisor handover with ease prior to the supervisor handover by selecting a candidate supervisor on a Bluetooth High Rate (HR) subnet having one supervisor and a plurality of members. The method comprises the steps of selecting the candidate supervisor eligible for the new supervisor among the members on the HR subnet prior to the supervisor handover, and broadcasting an inquiry message to all the members on the HR subnet by the candidate supervisor when the supervisor handover is initiated. The method further comprises the step of electing the candidate supervisor as the new supervisor when all members on the HR subnet respond to the inquiry message.

Abstract: The present invention proposes a method for protecting and monitoring removable entities in an embedded system. In accordance with the present invention, prior to insertion of a removable entity in the embedded system, a user registers details of the removable entity in the device host. The details may be entered after entering a password or a PIN. A registration identification is calculated based on an algorithm in the device host and is then stored in the host. After the removable entity is inserted, it is registered in an unalterable area (e.g. flash memory) of the device host. Information such as the category of the removable entity, a device number, etc. may be exchanged between the device host and the removable entity. The device host then computes a registration identification based on a Removable Entity Registration Algorithm. The identifications are then compared, and the device host displays the details of the removable entity to the user.

Abstract: A method for managing data between a plurality of electronic devices in a Near Field Communication (NFC) network in which a first electronic device initially establishes a communication link with at least one of the plurality of electronic devices. The desktop configuration information is then exchanged with at least another electronic device. Thereafter, desktop data of the first electronic device can be shared with the at least one of the plurality of electronic devices.

Abstract: A method and system for establishing a communication link between a plurality of electronic devices in a Near Field Communication (NFC) network are provided. The method, at a first electronic device, includes identifying at least one service registered at a Logical Link Control Protocol (LLCP) in at least one of the plurality of electronic devices. The electronic devices are NFC-compatible devices. Thereafter, the method establishes the communication link between the first electronic device and the at least one of the plurality of electronic devices based on the identified at least one NFC service and a first set of services. The first set of services is selected from a plurality of services registered at a Logical Link Control Protocol (LLCP) in the first electronic device.
