Patent number: 8229358Abstract: Identification, authentication, and coverage control method implemented in a system including a central entity, a network of beacons, and a set of terminals, where each terminal is a device adhered to a beacon. The method includes defining a profile for each terminal, the profile including a coverage control service and a service connection authentication service, each service having an exclusive identifier. The coverage control service is connected when a beacon detects a device and the device is indentified as a terminal of the system. A service connection of the device is authenticated based on messages exchanged between the device and the beacon. If the authentication is positive, the device is allowed to adhere to the beacon and if the authentication is negative, the device is indentified as belonging to the system by not adhered to the beacon.Type: GrantFiled: January 18, 2008Date of Patent: July 24, 2012Assignees: Vodafone Group PLC, Vodafone Espana, S.A.Inventors: Guillermo Caudevilla Laliena, Guillermo Cajigas Bringas, Hector Berna Fornies

Patent number: 8214315Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of systems and methods for prioritizing mobile media player files by providing for the automated addition and/or deletion of media items for a mobile media player. In some embodiments, a statistical method may be provided for inferring which media items on a mobile media player should be deleted based on, for example, user taste data. In some embodiments, new media items may be loaded onto a user's mobile media player by creating one or more playlists from a playlist builder. The playlist(s) may be created by using user taste data. Rankings may also be created to determine an order for deletion of the media items currently on a mobile media player and/or for addition of new media items to the device.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2011Date of Patent: July 3, 2012Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Rick Hangartner, Francisco Martin, David Del Ser Bartolome, Guillermo Caudevilla-Laliena, Matt McLaughlin, Craig Rowley, Andrew Yip, Jim Shur

Patent number: 8209436Abstract: A method of migrating a user profile from a first device to a second device. Firstly, a request is made (1a, 1b, 1c) for migrating a user profile (102) located in the first device (100) to the second device (120). Next, the information forming said user profile (102) and an access policy (103) to said user profile is retrieved (2, 3). The request and the retrieval steps are mediated by a profile manager (104). This profile manager (104) then sends, to a server (150), said information forming said user profile (102) and said access policy (103). The server (150) stores (5) said information forming the user profile (102) in a first database (154) and said access policy (103) in a second database (153), the server (150) comprising a profile manager database (155) wherein a plurality of profile managers are stored. One of the stored profile managers is a copy of said profile manager (104) located within said first device (100).Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2010Date of Patent: June 26, 2012Assignee: Vodafone Group PLCInventors: Guillermo Esteve Asensio, Lucia Garate Mutiloa, Javier Gonzalo Gracia, Angel Machin Garcia, Guillermo Caudevilla Laliena
