  • Patent number: 7395049
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for commanding a security element of a mobile terminal, and to a mobile terminal. An installed application of the mobile terminal issues a command to a platform library of the mobile terminal. Then the platform library reads information from an access control file of the security element. After this, the platform library obtains an access code for the security element from a user according to the access control file information, and inputs the obtained access code and the command to the security element. An action is performed according to the command in the security element, if the access code is approved by the security element.

  • Publication number: 20060242274
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for protecting data used by Java applications and a device using the method. The writer of a Java application adds to its attribute table an attribute signifying the need to protect the data used by the application. When the application is loaded into the user's device, the table with its attributes is also loaded. The operating system of the device has an extension related to the Java storage engine, which implements the data protection if the storage engine has found a protection attribute during the storing of data. The implementation of the protection can be based e.g. on encryption or on inhibiting access to a certain memory range from all other programs than the Java application in question. The access of a user of a Java application to data which are intended to be kept protected is made remarkably more difficult. The protection is implemented without changing the standardized interfaces of the Java platform.

  • Patent number: 7096267
    Abstract: The invention relates to a data transmission arrangement between at least two apparatuses in a system in which part of the connection between different apparatuses is a wireless connection. The apparatuses communicate with method calls containing a service request. Service brokers direct the service request to a given server, which replies to the method call according to the required service by sending the information required for the service to the service broker which sends the information to the sender of the method call. The arrangement further comprises an adapter which is connected to wireless apparatuses and which adapts the protocol used in the wireless connection to the rest of the network. The adapter finds the server providing the requested service on behalf of the apparatus which sent the method call and operates in a wireless network.

  • Patent number: 6842771
    Abstract: The invention relates to implementing data transmission between at least two sets of software used in one or more devices which comprise means for establishing a connection to a telecommunications system. The communication is partly carried out with method calls including a service request. A service broker supplies the service request included in the method call to indicated server, which responds to the method call by sending required information back to the sender of the method call via the service broker. At least some of the programs participating in data transmission are implemented with a script-based programming language in the devices. The arrangement comprises an application which transmits service requests and responses to the requests between the service broker and the software that needs data transmission, and renders data transmission requests and responses to the requests compatible between script-based software and another system.
