A method and mobile device are presented for centrally controlling backup functionality, so that parties such as backup devices will efficiently be informed how data content should be backed up from or restored to the mobile device. The mobile device exposes to a party rules for backing up or restoring data content, and those rules are not just for the party, but also are for other parties including the mobile device itself. The rules are contained in a list formatted in extensible markup language (XML). If the party is an external party, the mobile device provides an object exchange protocol (OBEX) capability object in response to the party fetching that object. The OBEX capability object describes capabilities of the mobile device, and is for use by the external party in order to access the list of rules via the mobile device exposing those rules to the external party.

Centrally controlled backup functionality

SyncML is used for synchronizing data of terminal device in wireless and wired environments. In general, synchronization takes place between a terminal device (e.g., a mobile phone) and a server device (e.g., a web server in Internet). However, a SyncML session, which occurs between the terminal and server, is an end-to-end communication. The idea of the present invention is to provide a method, a router and a system to allow routing of the synchronizing data exchanged during a synchronizing session through such a router. In general having the router is more cost efficient and a faster solution from the end-user point of view.

Method and network device for synchronization of database data routed through a router

SyncML allows synchronization to take place between a terminal device and a server device. To be able to understand each other the data transferred between a SyncML client and a SyncML server must be coded as a SyncML document. The coding or decoding/parsing of the SyncML document is done by the separate application components, respectively, that other end-user applications (e.g. a UI application) can use. It is not always wanted, advantageous or even possible to employ the SyncML coding/decoding feature, since it is subjected to several disadvantages. The present disclosure provides a concept to still use the synchronization related components for communicating synchronization data between the participating devices but without employing the coding/decoding component feature. The response of coding and decoding the synchronization data is transferred to corresponding end-user applications.

Method and device for handling synchronization related information

An electronic device, a storing means and a method for loading the user interface software of an expansion card in the electronic device. The electronic device comprises means for loading, starting and executing program modules in the electronic device. The expansion card can be coupled in a releasable manner to the electronic device. The user interface software is divided at least into a basic module and a user interface module. The loading of the user interface software is executed at least in two phases, wherein in the first phase the loading and start-up of the basic module is conducted, and in the second phase the loading and start-up of the user interface module is conducted. The second phase is conducted when the expansion card is coupled to the electronic device.

Method for loading user interface software

The invention relates to an expansion (,) arranged to operate in at least a first function mode. The expansion card comprises at least means (,) for setting the function mode and means (,) for connecting the expansion card to the expansion card connector (,) of the electronic device. The expansion card (,) comprises further means (,) for generating a signal on turning on of the expansion card (,) and means (,) for transmitting the signal to an electronic device (,). The expansion card is also provided with means (,) for forming a message about setting the first function mode and means (,) for transmitting the message to the electronic device.

Expansion card

A method and system for the arrangement of a power supply with an expansion card which can be connected to an electronic device and comprises at least a first and a second circuit. The power supply is arranged in at least two stages, wherein at the first stage, at least one operating voltage (Vcc) is connected to the first circuit, and at the second stage, the at least one operating voltage (Vcc) is connected to the second circuit.
