Abstract: Very flexible call management is achieved by a method for handling a call setup request (7-10, 7-22, . . . ) from A party (A1 . . . A9) to a B party (511). A reachability server (RS) receives (7-0) the B party's multiple simultaneous caller groups, profiles, redirection settings and associations thereof. Each time the B party's reachability changes, he indicates his current profile (7-20, 7-40, 7-50). Based on the call setup request, the server (RS) determines the A party's identity. Based on the A identity, one of the multiple simultaneous caller groups is determined. Then one of the multiple associations that corresponds to the determined caller group and the current B party is determined. Finally, the call setup request is processed according to the redirection setting of the determined association. The redirection settings may indicate a changed call mode, such as chatting, in case the B party is unable to take a voice call.

Abstract: A method, device and computer program for the active notes application together with an application user interface (UI) is described in which the active notes application running on the mobile terminal is invoked in response to a user action or automatic event. Data entry and action event entry into the active notes application is made by a variety of input devices including proximity and location sensor. The entered data is embedded into an association application for example, contact manager, calendar and phone book running on the mobile terminal. The action is executed with the data specified using the corresponding associated application for the type of action identified whereby the notes are made active.

Abstract: A method and a mobile terminal executing the method for browsing available information feeds on a limited display area via sequential views. Items of a certain feed are first listed by utilizing representative identifiers. The user of the terminal device may through swift, 1-click type actions then inspect the descriptions of preferred items one at a time before selecting the item to be fully accessed.

Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus, a method, a computer program product and an electronic device where, in accordance with the method there includes steps of implementing a search mediator function that is interposed between a plurality of applications and a plurality of search functions; and operating the search mediator function for receiving search queries from individual ones of the plurality of applications, forwarding received search queries to appropriate ones of the plurality of search functions, and providing search results to respective ones of the plurality of applications in accordance with at least application-specific search profiles.

Abstract: A system and method for providing sponsored content to a user of an electronic device in conjunction with the execution of an event. When an event on an electronic device is initiated, a set of sponsor preferences are checked for information regarding the event. A set of sponsored content based upon the sponsor preferences are obtained, and the sponsored content is transmitted to the user in conjunction with the execution of the event.

Abstract: Sharing information feed data via a network involves forming a token describing the information feed data. The token is received at a first data processing arrangement via the network. The token is processed at the first data processing arrangement to determine the information feed data. Access to the information feed data is provided at the first data processing arrangement based on processing of the token.

Abstract: In situations in which one or both parties of a call cannot speak on a telephone, a voice call establishment request (5-0) from an calling terminal (A) to a called terminal (B) is processed as follows. The called terminal (B) is alerted and a two-way connection (5-14; 5-24 . . . 5-28) is established between the calling terminal (A) and the called terminal (B). In response to determining (3-10; 3-14; 5-8) that a two-way voice call between the calling terminal (A) and the called terminal (B) is not allowed; a mode server (MS, MS?) receives silent messages (5-14; 5-24) via a user interface (UI) of the called terminal (B) and conveys (5-14; 5-26 . . . 5-28) information based on said silent messages to the calling terminal (A).

Abstract: A technique for storing and selecting media files, such as digital images, video clips or music files, on the basis of symbols (S). The symbols comprise an identifier (11, 422) and visual data (428, 438, 448). For each media file (400) there is association data (402) for associating user-selected symbols (420, 430, 440) with the media file. The association data (402) comprises an identifier (404) of the media file and an identifier (408-412) of each associated symbol. For example, a photograph of a camel family in the New York zoo can be associated with the symbols for camel (420), family (430) and New York (440). The invention simplifies media file classification and retrieval in portable user devices without a full alphanumeric keyboard. The user may obtain more symbols from an external source, such as a dedicated symbol server.

Abstract: A technique for processing a query request from a terminal (TE) to a search engine (SE). A terminal user is allowed to select querry parameters by means of visual symbols, ie icons, such as a “here” symbol (94) and a “bank” symbol (95). Symbol identifiers (91, 93) of the user-selected symbols, and optional logical operators (92) are sent (10-2) from the terminal to a proxy server (PS) that replaces (10 4, 10-8) each symbol identifier in the query request with a plaintext description and presents (10-10) the query parameters in a query to the search engine (SE). If the proxy server (PS) detects a “here” symbol (94), it may query a location server (LS) to get the terminal's location which it then converts to plaintext. The query results are conveyed (10-16) to the terminal (EE).
