20100279708 | Predicting Presence of a Mobile User Equipment - A method, system, user equipment and computer program for predicting presence of a mobile user equipment, that includes: determining a set of time-distributed locations of a number of mutually associated mobile user equipments; calculating an aggregated location as a function of a location distribution of the set of locations; for each mobile user equipment, predicting a probability that the mobile user equipment will be present at the aggregated location at a future time; and initiating sending, to any of the mobile user equipments, a message indicating that another mobile user equipment of the mobile user equipments is predicted to be present at the aggregated location at a specific future time. | 11-04-2010 |
20110161478 | SOCIAL WEB OF OBJECTS - According to exemplary embodiments, networked object management software, devices, systems and methods are described which use social mapping principles to streamline interactions between users and their networked objects, as well as between the networked objects themselves. Friendship relationships are established, by a network management system, between a plurality of the networked objects, each of the plurality of networked objects being associated with a use. When the network management system receives a task request, it can then assign the requested task to one of the plurality of networked objects which has a capability to perform the requested task and which also has an established friendship relationship with the user. | 06-30-2011 |
20120079091 | MANAGEMENT OF DATA FLOWS BETWEEN NETWORKED RESOURCE NODES IN A SOCIAL WEB - A resource management node is disclosed that manages a plurality of resource nodes connected to at least one network. The resource management node includes a system entity database, an interaction flow database, and an interaction execution engine. The system entity database contains information identifying communication addresses for the resource nodes and associated metadata identifying capabilities of the resource nodes. The interaction flow database contains information defining data flows that are permitted between identified ones of the resource nodes and associated triggering criteria defining when identified ones of the data flows are to be performed. The interaction execution engine is configured to determine that one of the triggering criteria defined by the interaction flow database is satisfied and to respond by establishing the associated data flow between the identified ones of the resource nodes. Related methods for managing a plurality of resource nodes connected to at least one network are disclosed. | 03-29-2012 |
20120079092 | MANAGEMENT OF DATA FLOWS BETWEEN USER EQUIPMENT NODES AND CLUSTERS OF NETWORKED RESOURCE NODES - Methods performed by a resource management node for managing resource nodes connected to a network are disclosed. An example method includes establishing clusters of the resource nodes and associated data flows that are permitted between the resource nodes within each cluster and a user equipment node through the network, and associated rules that control the data flows. A first one of the rules is determined to have been satisfied for controlling a data flow for a first resource node in a first cluster. Information is communicated to the user equipment node that causes the user equipment node to prioritize handling of the data flow for the first resource node and other resource nodes in the first cluster in response to the first rule being satisfied. Related resource management nodes and user equipment nodes are disclosed. | 03-29-2012 |
20130159095 | Intelligent Automatic Brand Personality Agents In Social Media Services - A server includes a transceiver for connecting the server over a social network to a provider server and to a user device, a memory for storing information received from the provider server and a processor for instructing the transceiver to communicate information to the user device if the user device input to a prompt from a user home device communicating with the user device satisfies at least one condition stored in the memory. | 06-20-2013 |
20130218685 | Offering an Object For Sale - A method performed by a network management node for offering an object for sale is disclosed. The network management node receives a sales offering request message from a user equipment, wherein the sales offering request message requests the network management node to offer a specific object for sale. In a subsequent step, information about the specific object is gathered from a unique network entity profile associated with the specific object, i.e. the object intended for sale. A sales ad is thereafter generated in step. The sales ad is generated on the basis of the gathered information about the object. Embodiments of the present invention presented herein also relate to methods, network management nodes, user equipments, systems, computer programs and computer program products for offering an object for sale. | 08-22-2013 |
20140258363 | MANAGEMENT OF FUNCTIONAL INTERCONNECTIONS BETWEEN APPLICATION MODULES ON RESOURCE NODES IN A SOCIAL WEB - A resource node has application modules that are functionally interconnected by an application management proxy node to one another and/or to application modules of another resource node to provide combined functionality to a user. The resource node includes a plurality of the application modules and an application agent. Each of the application modules controls the resource node to provide corresponding defined functionality. The application agent communicates with the application management proxy node to establish functional interconnections between two or more of the application modules of the resource node and/or between at least one of the application modules of the resource node and at least one of the application modules of the other resource node. The application agent translates communication traffic to provide compatible communications between the application modules that are functionality interconnected. Related application management proxy nodes and methods are disclosed. | 09-11-2014 |

20150050915 | DISCLOSING AND CONTROLLING COLLECTION OF INFORMATION FROM ELECTRONIC DEVICES - One method by a network operations center node controls collection of information from electronic devices. A request message is received from a sensor, which requests collection of information from electronic devices within range of the sensor. One of a plurality of radio access networks is selected based on it likely being communicatively connected to electronic devices within range of the sensor. An inquiry message is sent to the radio access network for broadcast to the electronic devices, requesting information from the electronic devices. An authentication message is received from a responsive electronic device. An information collection disclosure response that identifies who is requesting collection of the information from the electronic device and/or how information collected from the electronic device will be used, is sent to the electronic device. Related methods by sensors and electronic devices, and related sensors, network operations center nodes, and electronic devices are disclosed. | 02-19-2015 |
