Patent number: 9262120Abstract: Techniques for providing a graphical user interface for an audio channel include receiving data that indicates multiple audio contents for audio presentation at a first node. A graphical user interface is formed, which displays a time sequence of the plurality of audio contents for presentation, and which associates with each audio content one or more selectable operations on the audio content. Presentation of the graphical user interface is caused at a second node. In response to causing presentation of the graphical user interface, data is received that indicates an associated operation on audio content based on input from the second node.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2009Date of Patent: February 16, 2016Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Jan Chipchase, Pascal Wever, Nikolaj Bestle, Pawena Thimaporn, Thomas Arbisi, John-Rhys Newman, Andrew Gartrell, Simon James, Carrie Chan

Patent number: 9225847Abstract: A method and corresponding equipment to enable a phone owner, who desires to lend a phone to a borrower, to define a temporary limit for the usage of the borrower, especially in a prepaid charging system. The charging system uses this temporary limit to restrict service usage such that when an amount corresponding to the temporary limit has been spent service is denied until such time as the limit has expired or been withdrawn, even if, for example, there is still a positive balance in the phone owner's own prepaid account.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2006Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Andrew Daymond, Uwe Schwarz, Jens Benner, Ossi Pöllänen, Jan Chipchase
