Abstract: An apparatus including at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code; the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to: maintain a multimedia data item associated with metadata, the metadata including geographic location data; and perform reverse geocoding from a geocoding database, for determining first address information for the geographic location data, using a first search language.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for approving multimedia data, including: receiving second multimedia data of a second resolution; selecting a block of the second multimedia data; and requesting a corresponding block of first multimedia data, to the selected block of the second multimedia data. Furthermore, the method includes receiving the corresponding block of the first multimedia data of a first resolution; and approving the second multimedia data at the server apparatus in response to evaluating the received block of the first multimedia data.

Abstract: A method of reducing duplicates of multimedia data items in a service system includes maintaining service system hash values for the multimedia data items of the service system; receiving a first multimedia data item; and hashing the received multimedia data item to provide a first hash value. The method further includes searching the first hash value from the service system hash values; and approving the received multimedia data item to the service system in response to the first hash value being not found when searching from the service system hash values.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a communication interface for receiving a multimedia data item associating captured multimedia data with metadata, the metadata including at least geographical location information and a time stamp; at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code. The at least one memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to maintain hot spot information for a user, the hot spot information comprising previous geographical location information of the user; receive a request for multimedia data, the request associated with a geographical location; determine at least one user based on comparison of the geographical location and the hot spot information; and provision the request for the multimedia data to the determined at least one user.

Abstract: An apparatus including: a communication interface for receiving a multimedia data item associating captured multimedia data with metadata; at least one processor; and at least one memory including computer program code; wherein the at least one memory and the computer program code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to: maintain reference metadata for a multimedia device (610); and receive the multimedia data item from the multimedia device (620). The apparatus is further caused to determine the associated metadata from the received multimedia data item (630); compare the associated metadata with the reference metadata to provide authenticity information (640); and validate the captured multimedia data based on the authenticity information (650).

Abstract: A method of reducing duplicates of multimedia data items in a service system includes maintaining service system as values for the multimedia data items of the service system; receiving a first multimedia data item; and hashing the received multimedia data item to provide a first hash value. The method further includes searching the first hash value from the service system hash values; and approving the received multimedia data item to the service system in response to the first hash value being not found when searching from the service system hash values.

Abstract: A method for providing enhanced authenticity for a multimedia data item, the multimedia data item including captured multimedia data with associated metadata, wherein the method includes receiving the multimedia data item over a transmission path. The method further includes defining path information for the received multimedia data item based on the used transmission path; and storing the path information to the multimedia data item for providing enhanced authenticity of the association between the metadata and the captured multimedia data.

Abstract: A method, arrangement and computer program for transferring multimedia data from a multimedia data capture device to a metadata recording device via a data communication connection and for enhancing the multimedia data using metadata captured by the recording device. The method involves establishing a data communication connection between the data capture device and a metadata recording device, determining the time difference between the clocks of the devices, receiving a captured multimedia data item from the multimedia data capture device. having a first timestamp indicating the creation time of the data item, recording metadata having a second timestamp indicating the creation time of the metadata according to the clock of the metadata recording device, and associating the captured multimedia data item with the metadata, utilizing the first and the second timestamps, where at least one timestamp is corrected using the time difference between the clocks of the two devices.

Abstract: A method, computer arrangement and computer program product for creating a user account for a content management service is executable in a server computer and accessible through a network, e.g. a wireless network. The method involves receiving a mail message containing valid input data of a new content submission transaction of the content management service, storing the input data in the service to initiate a new user account creation process, and sending a reply mail message to the sender of the mail message. The reply mail message may include a computer executable instruction for continuing the user account creation process and/or amending the input data of the content submission transaction, or receiving a second message and continuing the user account creation process and/or the amending of the input data of the content submission transaction using the data of the second message.

Abstract: A method, device, system and computer program for providing a transport distribution scheme for a security protocol are disclosed. A first packet data connection is established to a remote node for transmitting packet data over a network with a security protocol. An authentication procedure is performed with the remote node via the first packet data connection for establishing a security protocol session with the remote node. At least one security parameter is negotiated with the remote node for transmitting packets through the first packet data connection. A second packet data connection is established to the remote node, and at least one security parameter is negotiated with the remote node for use with the second packet data connection. The first and second packet data connections are handled as packet data subconnections associated with the security protocol session.
