A method and apparatus include a terminal device receiving a first message from a server that hosts a service available to the terminal device. The first message includes information about at least one attribute relating to a changeability of that at least one attribute having been changed. The terminal device sends a second message to the server in response to the first message that includes information identifying the information about the at least one attribute of the first message. The terminal device receives a third message from the server that includes information indicating a changeability setting for each of the at least one attribute identified in the first message. The terminal device updates how a user interface for the service is to be displayed so the user interface is displayed with attributes relating to the service being indicated as changeable or unchangeable in accordance with the third message.

Method, device, and system for communicating a changeability attribute

A communication system includes a redirect server and a deployment server configured to configure different terminal devices so that those devices are able to access a network of a service provider. A terminal device, computer readable medium and method are also disclosed that helps deploy such a service. In one embodiment, a communication system is configured so that a user of a terminal is provided with a code. The code is then communicated to a redirect server via a terminal associated with the user. The redirect server utilizes the code to determine the address of a deployment sever. The redirect server then provides the address to the terminal so the terminal can connect to a configuration management system so that the terminal may communicate with that system to be configured for accessing the network services hosted by the system.

System for deployment of communication terminals in a cloud computing system

A method of updating a location information, which represents a physical location of a communication device (), is generated by a location source (), and sent from the location source () via a location object generating unit (A,A) and a cache unit (A) to a location consumer (), comprises caching a first location information () in the cache unit (A), monitoring of a second location information () received subsequently to the first location information () at the location object generating unit (A,A) by the location object generating unit (A,A) to detect an invalid location information, and, triggered by the detection of an invalid location information (), sending a location object () generated by the location object generating unit (A,A) from the location object generating unit (A,A) to the cache unit (A), wherein the location object () comprises an invalidation information (-) indicating that a location information () sent prior to the location object () is invalid such that, when the location object () is received at the cache unit (A), the cached first location information () is discarded by the cache unit (A).

A method of conveying a location information () representing a physical location of a first communication device (D) from the first communication device (D) to a server (S) comprises sending a first invite message () of the server (S), the server (S) being triggered by a third communication device (C), to the first communication device (D) to invite the first communication device (D) to initiate a communication connection () to a second communication device (T), and sending an answer message () of the first communication device (D) in response to the first invite message () to the server (S), wherein the location information () is inserted in the answer message () for insertion in a second invite message () of the server (S) to the second communication device (T) to invite the second communication device (T) to accept the communication connection ().

A method and apparatus include a first server that communicates with a second server to cause a call back request to be communicated to an endpoint so that the endpoint can initiate a call back connection with the first server or a third server. Such a call back connection may occur near real time or in substantially real time so that updates can be supplied to an endpoint running an application supported by the server quickly and efficiently. The endpoint may register with the second server such that the second server is able to utilize notification messages for providing call back request information to the endpoint to advise the endpoint of a call back request.

Method, device, and system for connecting to a communication device

A method of conveying a location information representing a physical location of a communication device to another communication device comprises acquiring by the communication device a first location information and a second location information, the second location information being acquired subsequently to the acquiring of the first location information and detecting by the communication device a deviation of the second location information from the first location information representing a change of the physical location of the communication device. The method further comprises, triggered by the detected change of the physical location of the communication device, conveying the most recently acquired physical location of the communication device to the other communication device by sending a signaling message by the communication device to the other communication device, the signaling message comprising either the second location information or the deviation of the second location information on the first location information.
