    摘要: An apparatus for location sharing may include a processor. The processor may be configured to access a point of interest and a geographic cell associated with the point of interest. In this regard, the geographic cell may include geographic cell boundaries. The processor may also be configured to receive location information. The location information may describe a location of a device. The processor may be further configured to determine whether the location described by the location information is within the geographic cell boundaries and associate the device with the point of interest in response to the location described by the location information being within the geographic cell boundaries. The processor may also be configured to share the association between the device and the point of interest via an online service. Associated methods and computer program products may also be provided.

    摘要: Content search involves receiving a user-formulated search query via a user device. The search query is submitted to two or more search domains. The search domains represent separate data repositories accessible via the user device. Results objects are received from the two or more search domains in response to the search query. The results objects are ranked using different ranking criterion by the respective search domains from which the search results were received. A rank value for each of the results objects is determined based on a single ranking criterion. The results objects are ordered based at least in part on the rank values determined using the single ranking criterion and sent for display in a user interface of the user device.

    摘要: It is presented a method for a portable apparatus comprising: receiving text input as search text from a user of the portable apparatus; searching for content items of at least one content type matching the search text, resulting in a list of containing zero or more matching content items; presenting the list of matching content items on a display of the portable apparatus, when the list of matching content items contains at least a threshold number of content items; and presenting at least one option to search a database available over a digital network using the search text on the display, when the list of matching content items comprises less than the threshold number of content items. Corresponding portable apparatuses, a computer program product and a user interface are also presented.

    摘要: An approach is provided for activating a service for a mobile device. A message is received from a mobile device specifying a unique hardware identifier associated with the mobile device for activating a service for the mobile device. Creation of a provisional account is caused, at least in part, to be created to activate the service based on the unique hardware identifier without user information.
