Abstract: A notification is provided to mobile terminals regarding an event that potentially affects persons located in the vicinity. A notifying unit obtains a location of the event and identifies a set of radio nodes of a mobile network which are located within an affected area around the obtained location of the event. The notifying unit then determines a group of mobile terminals handled by users potentially affected by the event and moving basically towards the location of the event, based on at least two latest connections each mobile terminal has made with at least two of the identified radio nodes. The notifying unit finally provides a notification about the event to each mobile terminal in the determined group of mobile terminals. Thereby, no notification will be sent in vain to mobile terminals not moving towards the event so their users are deemed not interested in such a notification.

The interaction execution engine is configured to determine that one of the triggering criteria defined by the interaction flow database is satisfied and to respond by establishing the associated data flow between the identified ones of the resource nodes.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for enabling a first device (100) to interact with a second device (102) for usage of functionality in the second device. When the first device detects (1:1) that it is present within a limited distance (102a) from the second device by means of a local wireless link, the first device sends (1:2) a request to a social network manager (104) to establish a temporary trusted connection with the second device. The first device then obtains (1:5) profile information regarding the second device from the social network manager based on the trusted connection, and adapts (1:6) its user interface based on the profile information. A user is then able to execute the interaction between the first and second devices via the social network manager by means of the adapted user interface.

An example method includes establishing clusters of the resource nodes and associated data flows that are permitted between the resource nodes within each cluster and a user equipment node through the network, and associated rules that control the data flows. A first one of the rules is determined to have been satisfied for controlling a data flow for a first resource node in a first cluster. Information is communicated to the user equipment node that causes the user equipment node to prioritize handling of the data flow for the first resource node and other resource nodes in the first cluster in response to the first rule being satisfied.
