Patent number: 9852638Abstract: A device moving in a space determines one or more zones around it, wherein the one or more zones are linked to the device and move together with the device through the space. The device detects if a border of a first of the one or more zones starts to intersect or stops to intersect with a border of an area inside the space. If the detecting is affirmative, the device transmits information related to the intersection. An apparatus receives this information from the device and adapts a status value of the area in dependence of the received information.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2015Date of Patent: December 26, 2017Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON(PUBL)Inventors: Branko Djordjevic, Tim Lauterbach, Frank Sell

Patent number: 9641998Abstract: Proposed is a technique for preparing a roaming operation of a User Equipment (UE) between a home network and at least one visited network. A method aspect being performed in a roaming control entity comprises receiving at least one message related to the roaming operation, determining if a roaming attempt from the home network to the at least one visited network is performed, and, if the determining step is affirmative, requesting, from the home network, information relating to the UE so as to evaluate if the UE has access to the home network. The method aspect being performed in the UE comprises transmitting the at least one message about the roaming attempt, and receiving, responsive to the transmitting, deny or grant of access of the UE to the at least one visited network depending on whether the UE has access to the home network or not.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2011Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET L M ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Frank Sell, Andreas Witzel
