Patent number: 9825863Abstract: A system and method for automating connection management in a manner that may be transparent to any actively communicating applications operating in a Network on Terminal Architecture (NoTA). An application level entity may access another node by making a request to a high level communication structure via an interface. The high level structure may interact with a lower level structure configured to manage communication by establishing communication with another device via one or more transports. In at least one embodiment, provisions may be made to guard against data being lost when a transport fails, including storing data that is passed from a transport-independent buffer to a transport-specific buffer in case the transport fails. When a failure occurs, the stored data may readily be forwarded for sending using another transport.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2008Date of Patent: November 21, 2017Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Arto Palin, Juha-Matti Tuupola, Timo Eriksson, Jukka Reunamäki

Patent number: 9417934Abstract: A system for managing operation of a “whiteboard” supported by one or more devices. A whiteboard may comprise a shared storage area allocated amongst the memories of one or more devices enabled for wireless communication. The whiteboard may be accessed by various programs, or “nodes,” resident on the devices. In at least one scenario, some nodes may provide information to a whiteboard section of one device for use by nodes that may exist on other devices. This information may be accessible via wireless communication The present invention may evaluate the requirements of the various active nodes in view of the status of the plurality of devices in order to both optimize whiteboard operation while conserving device resources.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2007Date of Patent: August 16, 2016Assignee: Core Wireless Licensing S.a.r.l.Inventors: Arto Palin, Juha-Matti Tuupola, Olli Tyrkkö

Patent number: 9119180Abstract: A system for automating connection management in a manner that may be transparent to any actively communicating applications operating in a Network on Terminal Architecture (NoTA). An application level entity, such as an application node, may access another node by making a request to a high level communication structure via a high level interface. The high level structure may then interact with a lower level structure in order to facilitate a connection to a programmatic element on another device, for example, via a wireless communication transport.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2008Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Arto Palin, Juha-Matti Tuupola, Timo Eriksson

Patent number: 8493888Abstract: A system including a billboard that may comprise a common memory space allocated amongst at least two devices. Service nodes created on the billboard may represent services offered by the at least two devices. Service nodes may interact with each other on the billboard in order to perform inquiries for required services. For example, an application residing in the at least two devices may access the billboard in order to locate service nodes pertaining to a desired service. Information available from service nodes may include service property and usable transport information. A direction connection may then be made between the application and the service after a service node is selected.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2007Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Arto Palin, Juha-Matti Tuupola, Antti Lappeteläinen
