20090132540 | Method and Arrangement for Providing Context Information - A method and apparatus for obtaining context information from a context server maintaining a context for an object of interest in a telecommunication network. The context server receives raw context data from sensors associated with the object of interest. A request is received from a requesting party for refined context information with reference to the object of interest. Individual context data is collected for at least one individual entity of the requesting party. A customized rule is created on the basis of the received individual context data. The rule defines conditions in an adapted request for refined context information regarding the object of interest, which is sent, including the customized rule, to the context server of the object of interest. Context data refined according to the customized rule is then received from the context server. | 05-21-2009 |

20110113471 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTEXT-BASED CONTENT MANAGEMENT - In one embodiment, a system for context-based management of cached content includes policy and context servers. The policy server makes policy decisions controlling, e.g., usage of a content cache by a user, based on a contextualized policy that includes one or more context-dependent policy rules. The context server collects context information for the user and generates the contextualized policy by inserting the updated context-parameter(s) into the context-dependent policy rule(s). The policy server thus obtains or otherwise updates the contextualized policy responsive to a policy decision request received from a caching agent operating as a policy enforcement point, and returns a policy decision to the caching agent. In support, the context server may be configured to collect context information for the user at least in part by receiving context information from a user agent associated with the user. | 05-12-2011 |

20130268664 | Method and Network Node for Providing Dynamic Subscriber Profiling Information - In the embodiments of the present invention, a network node in an operator network is introduced. The network node is an analysis component configured to analyze the subscriber behavior based on the internet traffic data within the network. The network node is configured to provide a dynamic profile of the subscribers based on the current and past internet traffic. The dynamic profile may be used by other applications in the operator network or third parties. For example, a content provider can take a decision on what content to provide to a certain subscriber, based on dynamic subscriber profile information of this certain subscriber received from the network node according to the embodiments of the present invention. Another example is that an operator can use the dynamic subscriber profile when selecting commercial offers to his own subscribers e.g. when a subscriber has a new music mobile when visiting music sites. | 10-10-2013 |

20130297611 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING TEMPORAL CONTEXT FOR RECOMMENDING CONTENT FOR CONSUMPTION BY A USER DEVICE - A method for operating a system to provide temporal context for recommending items for consumption by a user device is described. The method comprises maintaining a record of items consumed by the user device or a group of devices within a reference period, together with the time of consumption of each item, and a content descriptor associated with each item. Temporal consumption periods are identified within the reference period, each consumption period spanning the consumption of one or more items with similar content descriptors, and each consumption period is associated with its respective content descriptor. An aggregated list is created of consumption periods recorded over a plurality of reference periods. Clusters of similar consumption periods are identified in the aggregated list, and recurring temporal patterns for user device behaviour are identified in each cluster. A profile is created for each user device based on the clusters and the recurring temporal patterns for each cluster, and this profile is used to provide the temporal context at the user device. | 11-07-2013 |
