The invention relates to a system comprising a mobile device (), a device () for transmitting information, a device () hosting a device registry () and a wireless device (). The mobile device () comprises a receiver, a transmitter, storage means and a processor. The processor is configured to use the receiver to determine that a wireless device () has newly connected to the mobile device (), to store or update a profile corresponding to the wireless device () on the storage means, to use the transmitter to transmit first information to at least one device registry (), the first information comprising an identifier of the wireless device (), to use the receiver to determine that a status of the wireless device () has changed to a new status, to update or remove the profile stored on the storage means if the status of the wireless device () has changed co to the new status, and to use the transmitter to transmit second information to the at least one device registry () if the status of the new wireless device () has changed to the new status, the second information comprising the identifier of the wireless device () and the new status. The invention further relates to a device () for transmitting information, the methods performed by these devices and one or more computer program products enabling a computer system to perform these methods.

System and methods for registering wireless devices and transmitting information

The invention relates to a method for controlling access for a user equipment to at least one local device via an intermediary system that is configured to connect to a local network and to a public network. The user equipment is connected to the public network and the at least one local device is connected to the local network. The method comprises a number of steps in the intermediary system. One of these steps is storing one or more location conditions for access for the user equipment to the at least one local device. Another step is receiving first location information of the user equipment over the public network, the first location information indicating a location of the user equipment. Yet another step is controlling access for the user equipment to the at least one local device by verifying whether the first location information satisfies the one or more location conditions. The invention further relates to the intermediary system used in the method.

Method and system for controlling access for a user equipment to a local device

One aspect of the disclosure relates to a method in a user equipment for instructing establishment of a connection between a first local device and a second local device, the user equipment being connected to a public network, wherein an intermediary system is configured to connect to a first local network, to a second local network and to the public network. A virtual view is generated and, upon receiving a selection of a representation in the view, connectivity information is obtained regarding the communication path between the first local device and the second local device. An ability for user to instruct establishment of communication path in dependence of the connectivity information.

Establishment of a connection between two local devices connected to different networks

Methods and systems enabling the end users of cellular devices to set up infrastructure-based D2D connections with other devices from within the over-the-top (OTT) applications running on their devices are disclosed. The methods are based on dynamically reconfiguring respective network-level firewalls protecting different end user devices.
