The probe response comprises at least one of the class information and the sub-class information associated with the at least one advertiser device.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for providing a presence notification. A presence server receives a request including a filtering rule from a watcher client. The filtering rule is defined based on presence attributes of the watcher client. The presence server stores a notification blocking filter corresponding to the filtering rule, when the request has been authorized using authorization related information.

Abstract: Disclosed is a new system and method for the “Content-level Reactive Presence Authorization”, wherein the Presentity would be able to reactively authorize the Watcher requested contents of the Presentity's Presence Information. According to the system and method for the Content-level Reactive Presence Authorization, it is possible for the Presence Server to convey the identity of the Watchers and the protected contents to the Presentity on the states of the Watcher's requested contents of the Presence Information. According to the systems and methods, it is also possible for Presentity to specify the conditions when the Presence Server triggers such Content-level Reactive Presence Authorization.

Abstract: Methods and devices are disclosed for enabling efficient network registration using a shared radio resource for at least a first and second SIM of a multi-SIM wireless communication device. After the end of a radio-off condition of the radio resource, the wireless device may identify services supported by each of the first and second SIMs, evaluate criticality of the supported services, determine which of the first and second SIM supports the service having the highest criticality, and prevent the other SIM from registering with its network before the SIM with the service of the highest criticality has successfully registered for service in its selected network.

Abstract: A dispenser cup for a washing machine appliance is provided that may more effectively clean a container provided therein. The container includes a side wall and a bottom wall, and defines a compartment configured to receive a wash material. A wash liquid inlet is positioned on the side wall of the container to provide a flow of wash liquid to the compartment. Additionally, features for redirecting the flow of wash liquid from the wash liquid inlet towards the bottom wall of the container is provided such that the wash liquid more effectively cleans the bottom wall of the dispenser cup container during operation of the washing machine appliance.

Abstract: Provided is a method for discovering a device for Peer-to-Peer (P2P) communication by a first device in a Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) communication system. when receiving a discovery information request from a new device, the first device determines whether there is a second device that cannot be newly connected, among currently connected devices. If there is the second device, the first device generates a discovery information response based on the second device, and sends the discovery information response to the new device.

Abstract: A system and method of managing read and delivery reports for messages is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for generating a read report using an IMAP includes processing a message received from a first converged internet protocol messaging (CPM) client device, storing the processed message into a message storage server using an internet message access protocol (IMAP) protocol, generating a read report by the second CPM client device in response to displaying the processed message stored in the message storage server, and delivering the read report to the first CPM client device by a CPM participating/controlling function server. The method also includes blocking redundant delivery reports generated upon retrieval of the message.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for transmitting data on a wireless connection is provided. The method includes selecting a device to receive data; transmitting, to the device, a first signal including attribute information about the data, before an establishment of a wireless connection with the device is completed; receiving, from the device, a second signal indicating whether the transmission of the data is accepted by the device; and establishing the wireless connection with the device to transmit the data through the wireless connection, in response to reception of the second signal indicating the transmission of the data is accepted.
