Abstract: An approach is provided for initiating a device action in response to determining context information associated with a device, a user of the device, or a combination thereof. Activity information on at least one of the device and one or more other devices is monitored by a context processing platform. The context processing platform defines a context based on the activity information. An action is then executed by the device or the one or more other devices based on the determined context.

Abstract: In one aspect thereof the exemplary embodiments of this invention provide a user interface for a communication terminal. The user interface provides at least one of a first view and a second view that provide a user with a visual representation of, at least, a type of at least one ongoing communication, participants in the at least one ongoing communication, and whether content is being shared with participants of the at least one ongoing communication.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic system for implementing an optimized way to provide information from a first electronic device to a second portable electronic device, and to a method of implementing a virtual noticeboard. The context in the virtual noticeboard of the first electronic device is arranged to be transmitted to the second device located within a geographically limited coverage area of first radio means of the first device, and the second device comprises selecting means for selecting the reception of the virtual noticeboard of the first device. The contents of the noticeboard may only transmitted to those who enter with their devices the permanent coverage area of the noticeboard, such as an airport. The device implementing the noticeboard and the radio means transmitting its contents may be integrated into one device. The virtual noticeboard may be a global one.

Abstract: There is provided a mobile communications system in which at least a first and second type of message service are supported, wherein the system includes first and second application servers associated with the at least the first and second message service types, wherein the first and second types of message service are transported by an SIP message to the first application server, each SIP message including a control portion identifying the type of message, wherein the first application server is adapted to direct messages of the second type to the second application server.

Abstract: A communication system, method, and apparatus are described for synchronously sharing online documents within a wireless telecommunications network. The system allows a main information center and a mobile terminal to regularly and mutually update important data in synchrony. It also allows real time online document sharing for a mobile terminal with a wireless connection to other terminals. Furthermore, it allows real time online calendar sharing and group calendar sessions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for presenting information on services (1a, 1b, 1c) on the display (4) of an electronic device (MT). In the method the display (4) is divided into cells (C1 to C6). In one cell (C1 to C6) information on one service is displayed.
