Abstract: Subscribers to a communications infrastructure, such as a GPRS network, can pre-pay for use of metered resources of the infrastructure. When a pre-payment subscriber joins the network, the current credit amount for the subscriber is distributed as credit values between user-specific virtual purses each associated with a respective metered resource. Upon use of a metered resource by the subscriber, the credit value held in the associated purse is correspondingly reduced, with use of the resource being dependent on the purse being in credit. The virtual purses are preferably electronically distributed to be close by the metered resources to which they relate whereby to reduce network billing traffic. When the subscriber leaves the network, the remaining credit values are consolidated from the purses.

Abstract translation: 诸如GPRS网络的通信基础设施的订户可以预先使用基础设施的计量资源。 当预付款用户加入网络时，订户的当前信用量作为每个与相应计量资源相关联的用户特定虚拟钱包之间的信用值分发。 在用户使用计量资源时，相应的钱包中保存的信用值相应地减少，其中资源依赖于钱包在信用中。 虚拟钱包优选地以电子方式分发以由它们相关联的计量资源靠近，从而减少网络计费流量。 当用户离开网络时，剩余的信用值从钱包中合并。

Abstract: One embodiment of a system for providing services to subscribers of a network supports the provision of a plurality of different services to multiple subscribers. A processor arrangement is provided for hosting the different services. A data structure is provided for storing data associated with subscribers of the system, wherein data associated with subscribers of the system comprises a plurality of sets of data, each set of data relating to a respective level of authentication. A trust model comprises a set of relationships between the sets of data, and the trust model determines the access rights of subscribers to different services in dependence on the data set which has been used to authenticate the subscriber in a given subscriber session. The use of this trust model enables services and other access rights to be provided to a subscribed which match the level of authentication which has been applied to the subscriber during any particular session.

Abstract: A system for providing services to subscribers of a network supports the provision of a plurality of different services to multiple subscribers. A first processing unit comprises a web container and provides a first execution environment for a first set of software applications. A second processing unit provides a second execution environment for a second set of software applications. One of the processing units comprises a state identification unit for identifying dynamic session-based state information, and the delivery of services by the first and second processing units takes into account the dynamic state information. This can facilitate the delivery of services in a manner which is tailored more closely to subscriber requirements, which vary in a dynamic manner.

Abstract: To enable low cost distribution of pictures from a mobile entity that incorporates digital camera functionality, the mobile entity (20) generates both a high resolution picture image (81) and a low resolution thumbnail (80). This thumbnail (80) is distributed via a mobile radio infrastructure to a service system (40) that then transfers the thumbnail to specified recipients (60). After viewing the thumbnail (80), each recipient (60) indicates to the service system (40) whether they wish to receive the high resolution image (81) and, if so, whether it is to be transferred immediately or at the next. The service system (40) effects transfer of the high resolution image (81) accordingly. In other embodiments, distribution of the high resolution image is effected independently of the service system.

Abstract translation: 为了实现具有数字照相机功能的移动实体的图像的低成本分布，移动实体（20）同时生成高分辨率图像图像（81）和低分辨率缩略图（80）。 该缩略图（80）经由移动无线电基础设施分发到服务系统（40），服务系统（40）然后将缩略图传送到指定的接收者（60）。 在观看缩略图（80）之后，每个收件人（60）向服务系统（40）指示他们是否希望接收高分辨率图像（81），如果是，是否要立即或在下一个传送。 服务系统（40）相应地实现高分辨率图像（81）的传送。 在其他实施例中，独立于服务系统实现高分辨率图像的分布。

Abstract: Remote installation of an update of software is forwarded by a management information system into a remote computer. When a primary communication path between the management information system and the remote computer is unavailable and an alternate communication path is available, a connection is established between the management information system and the remote computer using the alternate communication path. The management information system requests from the remote computer the current version information about the software within the remote computer. When the management information system determines the current version of the software within the remote computer needs to be updated, the management information system determines whether the alternate communication path is adequate for downloading the update of the software. When the management information system determines that the alternate communication path is adequate for downloading the update of the software, the update of the software is downloaded from the management information system to the remote computer.

Abstract: A method is provided of adapting a user interface to the user's current situation. The method involves a user specifying a home-area interface (83), for example, a web browser home page, and an “away” interface (84). When the user connects to a network (10) using a device (20) and calls up his/her browser home page, a determination is made of the location of the device in order to decide which version of the home page is to be served back to the user device by the home-page server of the user. In a preferred embodiment, the “away” home page (84) includes specific types of local data of interest to the user (such as best local restaurants). When asked to provide the “away” home page, the homepage server uses this information to find the URLs of local special interest web sites (122) carrying the relevant type of data, the server inserting these URLs in the “away” home page (84) before providing it to the user device (20) concerned.

Abstract: In a mobile communications system each radio unit (14, 16) is associated with a respective base station (12) as its `home` base station; any radio unit can communicate with any base station in whose service area it is located. Each base station has a radio interface (20) for communication with radio units, a telephone interface (24) for connection to a telephone line, for example via a PABX (44), and a LAN interface (28) for connection to a local area network (40) to which all the base stations are coupled. Voice communications for a handset are always routed through the home base station for that handset, e.g. to another handset or to the PABX, irrespective of the identity of the base station in whose service area the handset is currently located.
