The PSM (10) comprises a wireless transceiver (1), a server remote control logic (4) and a standardized interface and connector (5). The wireless transceiver (1) is connected to the computing means (2, 3). The computing means (2, 3) is connected to the server remote control logic (4), and the server remote control logic (4) is connected to the standardized interface and the connector (5). In use the PSM (10) is plugged into a device (11) to be controlled via a standard interface and connector (5).

Abstract: A method for transporting data comprises generation of a data entity in data storage means (14). The data entity is provided with further information. The data entity is then transported from the storage means to an interface means (10) via a first communication media (20). Said further information is studied at the interface means for determining a user equipment (1) to which data shall be transmitted from the interface means. Data is then transported from the interface means to said user equipment based on said information via a second communication media (11).

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for implementing data transmission between at least two devices. At least a section of a connection between at least two different devices is implemented by a wireless connection and at least some of the communication between the devices takes place as method call messages and reply messages to method calls. At least some of the messages to be transmitted include an address of the application that transmitted a message. A device behind the wireless connection includes means for transmitting a message containing the address such that the address of the application is provided with a predetermined symbol pattern. The arrangement includes an adapter to adapt the protocol used over the wireless section of the connection to the rest of the network and to replace the symbol pattern with the address of the device that transmitted the message.

Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for implementing data transmission between at least two sets of software used in one or more devices. The devices are capable of establishing a connection to a data transmission system. The communication between the devices takes place using service requests that include information on an address of a service provider. A name server of the arrangement maintains a list of sets of software providing and needing different services and their addresses. The name servers are arranged to search the data transmission system for other name servers and to exchange information concerning the sets of software needing a service and providing a service when they find a new name server.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and arrangement for making electronic purchases. In the method according to the invention, a creditor (11) grants to a customer (10) a certificate provided with an electronic signature, and the customer stores said certificate in an electronic device (13). In connection with a purchase transaction, the customer produces the certificate to an automatic service or goods vending machine (14), which checks the certificate information. If the information is accepted, the desired purchase can be made, and the purchase information is saved in the memory of the vending machine (14). The separate purchase information stored in the vending machine memory is transferred in one batch to the data system (12) of the creditor organization (11), when a predetermined criterion is fulfilled.

Abstract: A method in a user equipment for enabling use thereof in electronic transactions is disclosed. In the method control information is received at the user equipment (1) from a management entity (12). The user equipment is provided with transaction means based on the received control information.

Abstract: A method of accomplishing a transaction by a user equipment. Transaction information is inserted in at least one data field of an information entity that associates with the transaction based on information available at the user equipment. The information entity is then transmitted from the user equipment over a wireless interface. The insertion may require authorisation. The insertion may occur automatically in response to a predefined event.

Abstract: A method in a system wherein a user equipment (1) and another party (12) are enabled to exchange transaction data. A data entity is generated, said data entity associating with a transaction. Information of an object that associates with the transaction is included in the data entity. The data entity is then transmitted to the user equipment (1) over a wireless interface (11). The user equipment may then request for additional information that associates with the transaction based on said information of the object.

Abstract: A device and method are disclosed which enables data transferred during a transaction to be protected. The device includes a connecting means for establishing a communication link with a second party and selection means connected to receive a control message from the second party.

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.

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.
