Patent number: 9955292Abstract: The invention is a system and method for computing a result for a location, wherein the result indicates how novel it is for a wireless device to occupy a specific location. After determining the location of a wireless device through various means, a Novelty Index Value (NIV) is calculated for the location, and the NIV is then stored into a database. The NIV may then be subsequently used by application programs to compute a desired result from the NIV. Multiple users may utilize and/or share the same NIV values. The NIV may also be used to alter the configuration of a wireless device as well. A recommendation system is also disclosed, wherein user context is utilized along with NIV values to compute particular results for a user.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2011Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Eero Räsänen, Roman Kikta, Antti Sorvari, Jukka-Pekka Salmenkaita, Ykä Huhtala, Heikki Mannila, Hannu T.

Publication number: 20070271453Abstract: Authentication information of a first node is received which are used for verification of remote nodes' authentication attempts, and a token is received from at least one remote node. Authentication of the at least one remote node is performed based on the token, and, if the authentication is successful, rules of a firewall are set through which all communication towards a first node goes to accept packets from an address of the remote node to the address of the first node.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2007Publication date: November 22, 2007Inventors: Seppo Pohja, Jarno Leinonen, Kari Oinonen, Juha Hietasarka, Petri Nykanen, Jari Mononen, Ulla Konkarikoski, Jyrki Valli

Patent number: 7089298Abstract: Device name conflicts are resolved when adding devices to existing ad hoc networks or when joining two ad hoc networks together. After a connection has been established between a new device to be added and a first member device in the ad hoc network, a name distribution message is transferred by the new device to the first member device. The name distribution message will be passed from member device to member device in the ad hoc network, and at each member device a name conflict check is performed. Device name conflicts are also resolved when joining two ad hoc networks together. The contents of name manager tables of the two respective ad hoc networks must be exchanged. This is accomplished by forming a name distribution message for each name record in the name manager tables of the two devices establishing the connection on behalf of their respective ad hoc networks. Then the name distribution messages formed in each respective ad hoc network are distributed to the other ad hoc network.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2001Date of Patent: August 8, 2006Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Kai Nyman, Mikko Olkkonen, Juhani Murto, Kari Oinonen

Patent number: 6594483Abstract: In one embodiment of the invention there is provided a system and method whereby a local application may interface with a single API and be automatically connected to the appropriate source of terminal location information. In another embodiment of the invention there is provided a system and method whereby a remote application and/or web service may interface with a single API and be automatically connected to the appropriate source of terminal location information. In another embodiment of the invention there is provided a system and method whereby a user can specify his privacy preferences to one database and be assured that his preferences would be adhered to by all location providing sources, thereby allowing the user to exact direct control over which applications and web services have access to data concerning the location of his mobile.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2001Date of Patent: July 15, 2003Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Petri Nykanen, Juhani Murto, Kari Oinonen

Patent number: 5903849Abstract: A data terminal is able to use data services of a cellular network so that it is detachably connected to a mobile phone with a connection cable. The data services need not be supported by the telephone. The connection cable forms a fast synchronous serial bus. The service-specific data protocols needed in implementing a data service are accomplished in a microprocessor unit in an external interface adaptor connected to one end of the serial bus, said processor being via the bus directly connected to the processor performing the signalling and control functions and the channel coder of the phone. Thus, the interface adaptor is able to exchange messages directly with the processor unit and the channel coder of the phone.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 1997Date of Patent: May 11, 1999Assignee: Nokia Mobile Phones Ltd.Inventors: Markku Selin, Jukka Ranta, Kari Oinonen
