Abstract: Vehicles which are provided with at least one sensor and a location system, such as a Global Positioning System (GPS) detect parking spaces and/or road obstacles when driving along a road. The detected parking space and/or road obstacle data is transferred to a remote processing module. The processing module may then provide the detected parking space and/or road obstacle data to a requesting vehicle, which is located in the vicinity of the detected parking space and/or road obstacle. In addition, the at least one sensor may detect road data, such as data regarding parking restrictions at the location of the detected parking space. The detected road data may be used to determine whether the detected parking space is available to the requesting vehicle. Furthermore, parking permit data may be used to determine whether the detected parking space is available to the requesting vehicle.

Abstract: A network with authentication implemented using a client health enforcement framework. The framework is adapted to receive plug-ins on clients that generate health information. Corresponding plug-ins on a server validate that health information. Based on the results of validation, the server may instruct the client to remediate or may authorize an underlying access enforcement mechanism to allow access. A client plug-in that generates authentication information formatted as a statement of health may be incorporated into such a framework. Similarly, on the server, a validator to determine, based on the authentication information, whether the client should be granted network access can be incorporated into the framework. Authentication can be simply applied or modified by changing the plug-ins, while relying on the framework to interface with an enforcement mechanism.

Abstract: Present invention refers to a method for improving a messaging service in a communications network. The method comprises the steps of: a group of users of the messaging service establishing a message conversation; including a unique message identifier to each message of the message conversation; a first user of the group of users, using a communication device, creating a first message to be sent to the group of users as a reply to a previously received message from the message conversation; and encoding the unique message identifier, referring to the previously received message, into the message of the first user.
