Patent number: 8027691Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing position profiles in mobile value added services is disclosed. Users define, manage and use position profiles with mobile value-added services and utilize the personal position profile in context sensitive value-added services. The method includes defining at least one location profile associated with a user of a mobile terminal and storing the at least one location profile remote from the mobile terminal. A system for providing location profiles includes a mapping service provider, a node in a wireless network for providing location services to a user of a mobile terminal and an interface between the server and the mapping service provider, where the user defines at least one location profile and causes the at least one location profile to be stored at the node.Type: GrantFiled: August 6, 2003Date of Patent: September 27, 2011Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Anette Bernas, Jukka Heiska, Jukka Nihtila, Seija Salmela

Patent number: 7660587Abstract: Efficient and effective communications are initiated from the selection, at a first user device, of a link in a resource. Based on this selection, a communications request is transmitted to a server. In addition, identification information of a second user device (such as a telephone number or an Internet Protocol (IP) address) is transmitted to the server. As a result of this request and identification information, a communication response is received at the second user device. This communications response may be of various types, such as a voice call, a message, or a rich call.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2005Date of Patent: February 9, 2010Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Jukka K. Nurminen, Balazs Bakos, Hunor Demeter, Zoltan Ivanfi, Petri Stenman, Jörgen Othman, Jukka Nihtilä, Timo K. Miettinen

Patent number: 7278966Abstract: A system for managing physiological information includes a mobile terminal and at least one destination. The terminal is capable of transferring physiological information relating to a terminal user. The destination(s), in turn, are capable of receiving the physiological information and performing at least one operation based upon the physiological information. The destinations can return content to the terminal, where the content is selected based upon the operation(s) performed by the destination(s). Upon receiving the content, then, the terminal is also capable of performing at least one operation based upon the content. The system can also include a mobile station for facilitating the transfer of physiological information and content between the terminal and the destination(s).Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2004Date of Patent: October 9, 2007Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Kari Hjelt, Santtu Naukkarinen, Jukka Nihtilä, Tapani Ryhänen, Timo Vitikainen

Publication number: 20060128418Abstract: A method for delivering program related content information to users over broadcast media. A user initiates a request to contact a program such as a shopping television program by inputting an indication that the user would like to contact the program. The mobile terminal utilizes contact information embedded in a broadcast signal to initiate a connection between the mobile device and a telephone or other device associated with the program. The contact information received in the broadcast signal may be stored in a phone book application of the mobile terminal.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2004Publication date: June 15, 2006Applicant: Nokia CorporationInventors: Hans-Christoph Quelle, Achim Reidelsturz, Jukka Nihtila, Heikki Huomo

Publication number: 20060056324Abstract: Disclosed is a method to deliver a set of song-related information to a terminal associated with a subscriber of a content provisioning system. The method includes establishing a subscriber profile for specifying at least a frequency at which the content provisioning system is to download to the subscriber at least one list of content, in the preferred invention at least one list of songs, that is updated in accordance with at least one criterion. The method further downloads the at least one song list to the terminal at a time that is based on the subscriber profile. Also disclosed is a content provisioning system, a network server and a terminal that operate in accordance with the method.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 10, 2004Publication date: March 16, 2006Inventors: Timo Hyyppa, Juha Salo, Toni Kopra, Mikko Makipaa, Jukka Nihtila, Oren Levine, Janne Aaltonen, Ari Pajusalo, Ahti Muhonen, Ari Hannikainen, Janne Antola

Publication number: 20050101845Abstract: A system and method is implemented with use of a mobile communication device and at least one sensor configured to sense a parameter associated with a user's physiology. One or more parameters associated with the user's physiology are sensed, the sensed one or more parameters defining physiological data associated with the user. The physiological data is analyzed relative to training regimen data, the training regimen data comprising one or both of range limits and durations associated with an exercise regimen. The physiological data is transferred to the mobile communication device, and the mobile communication device provides the physiological data in a form suitable for integration into an avatar representative of the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2004Publication date: May 12, 2005Applicant: Nokia CorporationInventor: Jukka Nihtila
