Patent number: 8266307Abstract: Associating user identities with a network service involves detecting, at a first device, a subscriber identity previously associated with a second device. The second device was used to register a user identity with a network service, and the user identity includes a phone number of the second device and an account identifier generated by the network service for use with the second device. The network service is accessed from the first device and the first device receives a new identifier from the service. The first device registers with the service via a communication channel that utilizes a phone number of the first device to establish communication. In response to the phone number of the first device matching the phone number of the second device, the first device accesses the service using the user identity associated with the second device.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2008Date of Patent: September 11, 2012Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Toni Strandell, Elina Vartiainen, Janne Kaasalainen, Timo Pakkala

Patent number: 7966306Abstract: Performing location-aware search involves intercepting a network request targeted for an Internet-based search engine. The network request includes a location-dependent query containing a location term, and the location term cannot be used by the search engine to positively determine a target location. A location descriptor that can be used by the search engine to positively determine a target location is determined via a location database. The location database may include a location sensor such as GPS. The network request is modified to replace the location term with the location descriptor, and the modified network request is sent to the search engine.Type: GrantFiled: February 29, 2008Date of Patent: June 21, 2011Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Toni Strandell, Ari Aarnio, Carlos Quiroz Castro

Publication number: 20100042717Abstract: Media sharing using contact data involves identifying contact records on a personal electronic device of a user. Each of the contact records includes a contact address of a person associated with the respective contact record. The contact records are communicated to a media sharing service via a network. Media items of the user are sent to the sharing service. One or more of the contact records are associated with each of the media items. A notification is sent to the persons associated with the one or more contact records. The notification describes sharing of the media items associated with the contact records. The sharing service facilitates access to the media items by the persons associated with the contact records in response to the persons receiving the notification.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 20, 2009Publication date: February 18, 2010Inventors: Toni Strandell, Davin Wong, Tuomas Tammi
