Abstract: A verification process is executed between a software-controlled communication device and a software-controlled server in a network to verify that an unconfirmed telephone number, which is transmitted to the server, corresponds to an actual subscription telephone number and that this subscription telephone number is assigned to the communication device. In the verification process, the server initiates a verification call to the unconfirmed telephone number from a selected calling telephone number. The communication device intercepts the verification call, identifies the originating telephone number, and transmits the originating telephone number to the server. The verification succeeds if the originating telephone number matches the calling telephone number.

Abstract: A method for establishing communication between a first communication device (110) of a first communication network (180) and a second communication device (120a, 120b) of a second communication network (160) is disclosed. In one embodiment, a service provider (130) receives a message indicative of an intention of the first device to call the second device. A communication provider (140) in communication with the service provider establishes a communication channel with the second device via the second network based on the message received at the service provider and connects the communication channel established between the communication provider and the second device with another communication channel established in response to an incoming call from the first device to the communication provider via the first network. The establishment of the communication channel between the communication provider and the second device is initiated before establishment of the other communication channel is completed.

Abstract: An arrangement and method of allotting pattern units of an overall coding pattern in an information management system, are based on selectively setting a state indicator for each pattern unit to indicate one of a plurality of states. The flow of data in said system may be controlled based on the state indicator. The data may be originally recorded by an electronic pen from a coded product which is provided with at least part of a pattern unit. The product may be generated on demand by requesting an allotment of one or more pattern units.

Abstract: A method and a computer program are described for developing a product (110), and services associated with the product, which product has at least one activation area (308) which is provided with a position code (403) that codes at least one position on an imaginary surface (601), which position causes a device (710) that detects the position code (403) to initiate an operation that utilizes information recorded by the device (710). A digital representation of at least part of the product comprising image points is produced, each image point in the digital representation of the activation area (308) corresponding to a position on the imaginary surface (601). A digital template that can be used for making the digital representation of the product is also described.

Abstract: In a system for managing information from electronic pens, each electronic pen includes a memory which is designed to store controlling software and a set of templates. Each template associates pen positions with functionality implemented by the controlling software. In a method and arrangement of controlling operation of electronic pens, a separate set of template versions are generated for each of a plurality of different versions of the controlling software. A pen, which stores a given version of the controlling software, is provided with a corresponding set, in which all template versions suitably indicates functionality which is fully implemented by the given version of the software.

Abstract: The present invention relates to managing of communication in a system, which system includes at least one user unit 100 capable of reading information from a surface 120 and communicating at least part thereof to a server 140, 150, 160, a look-up server 140, 150 storing information management rules associated with information read from the surface and at least one application server 160. The user unit 100 receives an instruction with control data from the look-up server 140, 150 and determines, based on these control data, if specific information data is allowed to be communicated by the user unit to a receiving application server in response to an instruction from an application server concerning these specific information data.
