Patent number: 9742851Abstract: A method and arrangement for remotely controlling the communication of media between devices in different local networks (200, 202) using a remote control device (200b). The remote control device obtains discovery information on a first device (200c) and sends a remote access request over a multimedia service network to a home multimedia gateway (202b) in the opposite local network (202) for a connection to a second device (202c) therein. The home multimedia gateway then responds with communication parameters established for the second device in a residential gateway, and the remote control device can then order the first device to execute a multimedia session with the second device by using said communication parameters. This solution enables a remote control device visiting a local network to order a device in that network to fetch media content from a device in another home network, or vice versa.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2007Date of Patent: August 22, 2017Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Justus Petersson, Martin Gerdes, Robert Skog

Patent number: 8503462Abstract: A method and apparatus for enabling remote access to a local gateway (302) of a local network from a remote device (300) located outside the local network. Capabilities and credentials of the remote device and of the local gateway are configured independently in an IMS core (304) for the remote access. One or more users are also authorized for remote access to the local network by adding an IMS identity of each authorized user to an IMS based ACL (Access Control List). An access request to the local gateway from the remote device will be accepted if the IMS identity of the remote device user is present in the IMS based ACL. A remote access connection can then be established by means of the configured capabilities and credentials of the remote device and the local gateway.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2008Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget L M Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Ayodele Damola, Martin Gerdes

Publication number: 20130077526Abstract: There is provided a network node for detecting a communication device (stealth device) in a local network and identifying a type of the detected communication device. According to the embodiments of the present invention, the network node 200 detects a search message sent out by a stealth device, and sends a response message to the stealth device as if the network node 200 were a target node to be searched for. The network node 200 then receives a request message from the stealth device, and extracts, from the request message, identification information (e.g., a User-Agent header) that corresponds to a type of the stealth device. The identifying unit 208, which may be located inside or outside the network node 200, identifies the type of the stealth device based on the extracted identification information.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 15, 2010Publication date: March 28, 2013Applicant: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Kenta Yasukawa, Shinta Sugimoto, Martin Gerdes

Publication number: 20110182205Abstract: A method and apparatus for conducting remote discovery of services across different local networks. A service discovery gateway in one local network issues a request for discovery information on the services in the opposite local network, embedded in a presence subscribe message over an IMS network. Discovery information is then received in a generic format embedded in a presence notify message over the IMS network. The received discovery information has been collected by a service discovery gateway in the first local network using a local service discovery protocol in the first local network. The received discovery information is announced to devices in the second local network, using a local service discovery protocol valid within the second local network. Thereby, local services can be provided and utilized across different local networks, even when different device-specific service discovery protocols are used within the local networks.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 15, 2007Publication date: July 28, 2011Inventors: Martin Gerdes, Andreas Fasbender, Andreas Häber, Frank Reichert

Patent number: 7746773Abstract: The invention comprises a method and system for dynamically processing messages. After a message is received from a network or from an internal application, and the message type is identified, the invention determines whether an optimized handler should be used to process messages of the identified message type. If an optimized handler has not previously been generated for the identified message type or is otherwise not available, an optimized handler may be generated, during run-time, for subsequent processing of messages of the identified message type. In some embodiments, the invention maintains statistics relating the processing characteristics of different types of messages and these statistics are used to determine whether to generate an optimized handler or to use a generic handler to process subsequently received messages having a certain identified message type.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2003Date of Patent: June 29, 2010Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (Publ)Inventors: Martin Gerdes, Raphaël Quinet, Roman Levenshteyn, Torsten Dinsing
