Patent number: 11153081Abstract: A method and apparatus includes a determining unit configured to determine whether a device entering a network should be allowed access and an executing unit configured to execute a configuration protocol between the registrar and the device and to a shared unique configuration key between the registrar and the device. If the device provides a privileged service, the configuration protocol enables the device to advertise the privileged service or if the device is a control point, the configuration protocol enables the device to advertise that it is able to control certain privileged services. The registrar also includes a controlling unit configured to obtain a controller key, if the registrar is to become controller of the new device and a service unit configured to execute a credential service that allows devices providing privileged services to delegate issuing of access control credentials to the registrar, wherein other devices may use the credential service to obtain credentials for privileged services.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2020Date of Patent: October 19, 2021Assignee: Conversant Wireless Licensing S.a r.l.Inventors: Kari Timo Juhani Kostiainen, Seamus Peter Moloney, Olli Antero Rantapuska

Patent number: 8725883Abstract: The invention relates to a method where a first address (121) from a first network (185) is obtained to a mobile node (180). Network address translation information is received from a network node (140) to the mobile node (180), the network node (140) being connected to a second network (150). An address mapping is indicated between the first address (121) and a second address (101) to the network node (140), the second address (101) being associated with the second network (150). A session establishment request is obtained. The request comprises instances of the first addresses (121) and third addresses (120). The first addresses (121) are replaced with the second addresses (101) in the request. An address mapping is indicated between the third address (120) and a fourth address (100) to the first network node (140). The session establishment request is sent to a remote network node (190) from the mobile node (180).Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2008Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Janne Esa Petteri Noyranen, Olli Antero Rantapuska, Heiki Juhani Kokkinen, Marcin Wieslaw Matuszewski, Esko Mikael Kokkonen, Jyrki Tauno Johannes Porio

Publication number: 20130074158Abstract: An approach is provided for a data application interface with improved security. The approach further involves processing a request for access to user data items to determine one or more associated domains and/or one or more access rules associated with the user data items. In one embodiment, the access rules specify criteria for determining one or more authorized domains and/or one or more users that have access rights to the user data items. The approach also involves determining whether to grant the access to the user data items based, at least in part, on a comparison of the determined domains against the criteria and/or access rules.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2011Publication date: March 21, 2013Applicant: Nokia CorporationInventors: Olli Oskari Koskimies, Olli Antero Rantapuska, Jaakko Tuosa

Publication number: 20120117497Abstract: An approach is provided for applying changes to a user interface. The window manager receives an input for specifying at least one change to one or more components of a first user interface. Next, the window manager determines respective execution states of one or more applications associated with the user interface. Then, the window manager determines to apply the at least one change to generate a second user interface while preserving the respective execution states.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2010Publication date: May 10, 2012Applicant: Nokia CorporationInventors: Juha Tapani Uola, Antero Taivalsaari, Jaakko Tuosa, Olli Antero Rantapuska, Johan Rainersson Wikman
