摘要： A shopping assistance method and service system is provided in which a shopper captures information about an item of interest (90) and sends it over a mobile radio infrastructure (10) to a service system (40). At the service system, the information is processed to identify at least the type of item of interest. A determination is also made of a location associated with the information, this location will generally be that of the store (92) where the shopper captured the information, but could also be the shopper's home location. The service system next carries out a specific task (72) relating to the identified item (90), such as obtaining comparative prices, and then provides a report back to the shopper, the contents and/or organisation of the report taking account of the location previously determined as being associated with the information.

摘要： 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.

摘要： 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.

摘要： 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.

摘要： 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.

摘要： 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.
