Publication number: 20100030624Abstract: An apparatus and method for facilitating a shopping experience. A user creates and stores a shopping list in a mobile terminal. Upon entering a shop, the mobile terminal downloads a shopping mini-application, which checks item availability and provides recommended substitute and complimentary items preferably taking user profile information into consideration. The mobile terminal also provides the user with reminders based on the user's purchasing history. Special offers are also presented to the user. Once the shopping list has been finalized, an optimal shopping route is computed for gathering the items on the list and is displayed to the user in the form of a map. The optimal route and recommendations may be updated at any time throughout the shopping experience in response to either the user's request, modifications to the shopping list and/or the user's divergence from the optimal route. The mini-application automatically may be deleted at the POS to conserve memory space.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2009Publication date: February 4, 2010Applicant: Nokia CorporationInventors: Marko Vänskä, Sami Ranta, Raimo Malila

Patent number: 7606533Abstract: A method and system locate a transponder that has an associated identifier and content data, at a location substantially accessible to a user of the mobile terminal. The transponder is activated by the mobile terminal with a wireless signal. In response, the mobile terminal receives at least the identifier and the content data from the activated transponder at the mobile terminal. From the received identifier and/or content data, the method and system select one or more of the stored data items according to one or more criteria.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2006Date of Patent: October 20, 2009Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Marko Perttilä, Sami Ranta, Raimo Malila, Joakim Granholm, Ian Nordman, Mikko Tarkiainen, Heikki Huomo, Vesa Jutila, Petri Vesikivi, Janne Jalkanen, Marko Vänskä

Patent number: 7130622Abstract: Disposable mini-applications are executable software items whose activation, deactivation and deletion in a mobile terminal are defined by trigger parameters and rules. Trigger parameters may include, but are not intended to be limited to, location, time, stored user data and the like. Rules are one or more trigger parameters needed to effect one of the foregoing actions. In one embodiment, a housekeeping means monitors for data that corresponds to the parameters and satisfies the rules, and performs a variety of housekeeping functions relating to the disposable mini-applications. The deletion of the disposable mini-application clears memory space associated with storing and executing the disposable mini-application, and thus, makes that space available for other purposes.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2005Date of Patent: October 31, 2006Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Marko Vänskä, Sami Ranta, Raimo Malila
