A method for organizing data records in a memory in a mobile telecommunication terminal is disclosed. The method comprises receiving a plurality of digits, which identify a subscriber terminal in a telecommunication network, in a control unit in the mobile telecommunication terminal. The method moreover comprises storing the plurality of digits in a memory in the mobile telecommunication terminal, and associating the plurality of digits with dictionary selection data designating at least one dictionary stored in the memory.

Mobile communication terminal and method therefore

A method and apparatus for the superdistribution of content on a network having a plurality of terminals for permitting a user of a terminal to superdistribute content stored in the terminal to another terminal and permitting the other user of the other terminal to inspect and purchase the content if desired. The invention provides an easily used mechanism that allows for the superdistribution of content from user to user to aid in the widespread distribution of content among users of various types of terminals including mobile terminals.

Method and apparatus for the superdistribution of content in a network including stationary and mobile stations

A method and apparatus for activating protected content on a portable memory device when the portable memory device is incorporated into a mobile terminal during the manufacture of the mobile terminal. During manufacturing, the portable memory device is coupled to the mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal is powered on. An activation program resident on the mobile terminal is executed upon power on of the mobile terminal. The activation program imports a secure rights database of rights files from the portable memory device, activates an active rights database resident on the mobile terminal based on the imported secure rights database, and disables the secure rights database on the portable memory device to prevent subsequent unauthorized use of the portable memory device.

Secure content activation during manufacture of mobile communication devices

A method for organizing data records in a memory in a mobile telecommunication terminal is disclosed. The method comprises receiving a plurality of digits, which identify a subscriber terminal in a telecommunication network, in a control unit in the mobile, telecommunication terminal. The method moreover comprises storing the plurality of digits in a memory in the mobile telecommunication terminal, and associating the plurality of digits with dictionary selection data designating at least one dictionary stored in the memory.

A method and apparatus for consumption of content () is described in which a licensor is able to exercise control over consumption based on a personal identity in the form of a set of binding attributes (). The control may be exercised for a number of consuming terminals () including rendering machines such as portable video and audio players.

Consumption of content

A system, apparatus, and method for facilitating OTA activation of protected content pre-programmed on a memory device that is operable on mobile terminals. A removable memory device is provided for coupling to the mobile terminal, where the removable memory device is pre-programmed with secure content and a secure rights database of rights files. OTA activation is performed to activate the secure content stored on the removable memory device in response to an attempt to access the secure content. The removable memory device is altered to prohibit further access to the secure rights database after the database is imported to the mobile terminal. Access to the secure content is enabled as dictated by corresponding rights files when the OTA activation has successfully completed.
