Abstract: A communication system includes at least one user with which presence information is associated and at least one entity to which presence information associated with the at least one user is provided. The presence information includes a plurality of parts with at least one of the parts including information identifying an application for which said at least one part is intended. The at least one entity has at least one entity application. The at least one entity is arranged to use said information to obtain the at least one part intended for the at least one entity application.

Abstract: Co-occurrence data representing e.g. preferences and facts observed in a plurality of situations may be stored in a matrix as combinations of high-dimensional sparse vectors. The matrix may be called e.g. as an experience matrix. The data stored in the experience matrix may be subsequently utilized e.g. for predicting a preference of a user in a new situation.

Abstract: The invention relates to predictive browsing. A set of words for use with an experience matrix are formed, wherein the words are descriptive of a context of a system such as a current web page, and wherein said experience matrix comprises sparse vectors associated with words. At least a part of at least one sparse vector of said experience matrix is accessed to form a prediction output, and suggestions of web pages are provided to a user in response to said prediction output.

Abstract: The invention relates to forming a prediction using an experience matrix, a matrix based on sparse vectors such as random index vectors. At least a part of a first experience matrix and at least a part of at least a second experience matrix are caused to be combined (1410) to obtain a combined experience matrix. The experience matrices comprise sparse vectors or essentially similar vectors in nature, and said experience matrices comprise information of at least one system, for example contexts of a system. At least a part of at least one sparse vector of the combined experience matrix is accessed to form a prediction output (1420), and a system is controlled (1430) in response to said prediction output.

Abstract: Co-occurrence data representing e.g. preferences and facts observed in a plurality of situations may be stored in a matrix as combinations of high-dimensional sparse vectors. The matrix may be called e.g. as an experience matrix. The data stored in the experience matrix may be subsequently utilized e.g. for predicting a preference of a user in a new situation. A prediction may be determined by a method comprising providing a query comprising one or more query words, accessing the experience matrix containing co-occurrence data stored as vectors of the experience matrix, determining a first auxiliary vector by identifying a vector of the experience matrix associated with a first query word, forming a query vector by using the first auxiliary vector, and determining the prediction by comparing the query vector with the vectors of the experience matrix.

Abstract: A computer-implemented apparatus and method for communicating partial notifications relating to a presentity's presence information. The communication may be effected between presence servers and terminals coupled to the presence servers via a network. At least one presentity is identified to which a terminal has requested presence services. A presence document is created, where the presence document includes presence information corresponding to the presentity. The presence information is configured as partial presence information comprising less than a total of the presence information available for the presentity. The presence document having the partial presence information is communicated to the terminal requesting the presence information.

Abstract: The disclosure details the implementation of apparatuses, methods and systems for a Framework for Ad-hoc Applications Based on Advertising (FAABA). The FAABA may employ short-range radio-frequency communications. The disclosure teaches mechanisms for providing targeted advertising in connection with ad-hoc applications/point-to-point (P2P) communications between user terminals. In a manner, the invention teaches general collection components for user terminals, which is responsible for collecting and maintaining a dynamic set of advertisements as a background operation. This allows the user terminals to initiate applications that are based on P2P communication, and furthermore, allows collections of pre-loaded advertisements to be provided to the user terminals along and/or during the P2P communications.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of joining an exclusive network communications group of data communications device users. A network location usable for requesting admission to the network communications group is advertised. A request message is sent from an invitee's communication device to the network location to request joining the network communications group. The invitee's communication device receives an acceptance message from at least one member of the group in response to the request message. The invitee's communication device receives a group application capable of executing via the invitee's communication device in response to the acceptance message. The network communications group is joined via the group application executing on the invitee's communication device.

Abstract: A system and method for applying a SIP events framework in order to deliver syndication feeds. The invention includes a feed delivery server and a feed consumption client. The feed consumption client uses a SIP SUBSCRIBE method to subscribe to the feed. Once the feed consumption client has subscribed to the feed, the feed delivery server starts delivering new feed items using a SIP NOTIFY method whenever new information becomes available, providing a PUSH mechanism where new material is provided to the client when available.

Abstract: A system and method for providing mobile assisted, fixed line communication. A device connectable to a mobile network coordinates with a session gateway device that is connected to a fixed line network in order to establish a connection to another gateway device. Signaling over a cellular or other non-fixed line network is used to establish connection parameters relating to a fixed line session. The established connection parameters are transmitted to the respective session gateway devices. Based upon these parameters, the session gateway devices can directly communicate with each other over the Internet or other fixed line network.
