Abstract: The basic concept of the method for requesting location related information of a mobile communication terminal device comprises an encoding of a location request. The location request contains information and commands for instructing a receiving location serving networked device to retrieve location related information accordingly and a transmitting of the encoded location request to the location serving networked device. The basic concept of the method for serving for serving location related information of a mobile communication terminal device comprises a receiving of a location request as defined above, a retrieving of the location related information in accordance with the location request, an encoding of a location response in accordance with the retrieval results and containing at least the retrieved location related information and transmitting of the encoded location response to the mobile communication terminal device. Devices performing these methods are shown.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus support communication between a communication device and a compatible communication device over a telecommunications network. The communication devices have unique identities. The methods and apparatus are configured to detect the presence of the compatible communication device using a low power radio frequency technology; to determine the identity of the detected compatible communication device; and, in response to detection of the presence of the compatible communication device, to redirect incoming calls intended for the detected compatible communication device having the determined identity to the communication device, wherein the controller sends control signals to the compatible communication device, such that the compatible communication device can control the redirection of the incoming calls at the network.

Abstract: An apparatus and associated method is disclosed for receiving a page of information from a remote source. The page contains a link to a linked page of information, and is displayed on a display. The apparatus is equipped with a user operable input device associated with the link. Actuation of the input device causes a request to be sent for the linked page to be transmitted to the apparatus.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for activating actions. The method comprises the steps of defining an action, a portable device (9) related to it and, as a condition for activating the action, at least one item of position data, and determining the position of the portable device (9). When the position of the portable device (9) corresponds to the position data defined in an action, said action is activated. In the method, the information about actions is processed in a server (2), from which a data transmission connection can be set up to the device, in which the action data is transmitted from the server (2), to be activated.

Abstract: In recent years, the penetration of handheld portable radiotelephones has grown enormously, and now, in many countries, the majority of people possess a portable radiotelephone. Of these people, an increasing number also posses more than one portable radiotelephone, for example a car phone and a handheld mobile radiotelephone. One problem with this is that a user ends up having multiple telephone numbers and people trying to contact the user do not know on which radiotelephone the user is may be contacted.
