Patent number: 10713935Abstract: Method, apparatus, and computer program product example embodiments provide control services for controlling devices with body-action input devices. An example method includes subscribing, by a control service, to one or more sensor signals from a selected body-action input device, the sensor signals including raw sensor data corresponding to one or more body-actions with the selected input device. The control service analyzes, using a selected component control service, the raw sensor data, to identify a body-action input corresponding to the body-actions with the selected input device. The control service converts, using the selected component control service, the identified body-action input, into one or more control signals, to control the selected controlled device corresponding to body-actions with the selected input device. The control service then provides the control signals to control the selected controlled device in response to the body-actions with the selected input device.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2018Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Aik Hua Siew, Timo Virtanen, Pratibha Gupta

Patent number: 9641624Abstract: A service provisioning mediator entity in a communications system is provided with information defining a set of service provisioning triggering messages. In response to receiving a service provisioning triggering message including an identifier associated with a user from a further network entity involved in providing the service to the user, the service provisioning mediator entity triggers service provisioning in the communications system for the user. The service provisioning triggering message may be sent by a controlling network entity upon receiving from an information store a message indicating that a user attempting to register is not recognized. If the user is recognized, trigger information in the information store may be used for directed a session to a network entity configured to handle service provisioning triggering messages. As a further alternative, a user may request service provisioning by sending a service provisioning triggering message from a communication device.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2005Date of Patent: May 2, 2017Assignee: NOKIA SOLUTIONS AND NETWORKS OYInventors: Tahvo Hyotylainen, Minna Myllymaki, Anu Leinonen, Kalle Tammi, Timo Virtanen, Martti Ylikoski, Arja Tusa

Patent number: 7644267Abstract: A proxy network element for controlling access to services in a communications system is disclosed. The proxy network element is configured to communicate with at least one further network element using a protocol belonging to a plurality of protocols, the at least one further network element controlling service usage based on service subscriptions. The proxy network element is also configured to provide access for the at least one further network element to at least one information store storing information relating to service subscriptions. The proxy network element provides support for communicating using the plurality of protocols and support for accessing a plurality of different information stores.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2004Date of Patent: January 5, 2010Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Martti Ylikoski, Tahvo Hyotylainen, Timo Virtanen, Artuu Laine, Terho Kiiskinen, Jukka Aakula

Patent number: 7280540Abstract: In a network element cluster having a plurality of nodes, distribution decisions are determined on the basis of certain field(s) of data packets according to predetermined criteria, and data packets are distributed to nodes of the network element cluster according to the distribution decisions. Data packets are processed by said nodes of the network element cluster, and the processing involves selecting at least partly arbitrary value(s) for at least one of the field(s) of at least one data packet. Such value(s) are selected for at least one of said certain field(s) of a third data packet, such that distribution decisions determined according to the predetermined criteria result in the same node in the cluster processing inbound and outbound packets of the same session ID.Type: GrantFiled: October 19, 2001Date of Patent: October 9, 2007Assignee: Stonesoft OyInventors: Matti Halme, Esa Harjulahti, Tommi Virtanen, Timo Virtanen, Tuomo Syvanne
