  • Patent number: 8879421
    Abstract: An invention concerns a method for enabling Service configuration by a plurality of Personal Network Entities connected to a Personal Network comprising a Personal Network Application Server accessible via IP Multimedia Subsystem domain, a primary Personal Network Entity holding a subscription to control the Personal Network and a plurality of secondary Personal Network Entities controlled by the primary Personal Network Entity, the method comprising the following steps: —associating to each PNE configuration rights describing the services to be configured by each of the PNE, —storing the PNE identities, and configuration rights associated to each PNE in a Configuration Element (PNRCE), —sending to the PN Application Server (AS) a configuration request based on the stored configuration rights.

  • Publication number: 20120290643
    Abstract: A client-server system is described in which a server that is to host a virtual machine is selected based on the location of the client device. The virtual machine is configured on the selected server before it is requested by the client device. In this way, the client device can use the virtual machine with minimal delay and latency associated with using virtual machines over wide area networks.
