A method and monitoring center () for supporting supervision of events in a monitored area () based on sensor data (D) reported by sensors over a communication network (). When the monitoring center () detects an abnormal event (E), it identifies a set of sensors (S-S) which are potentially impacted by the event, and also identifies network nodes (N-N, BS) that are able to communicate sensor data reported by the identified sensors (S-S). The monitoring center () then instructs (In) the identified network nodes to promote the communication of sensor data reported by the identified sensors. Thereby, transport of the sensor data will be enhanced and it will arrive promptly and properly at the monitoring center, to enable any watching staff to take notice and evaluate the abnormal event as soon as possible.

Method and monitoring centre for supporting supervision of events

A method and monitoring center for monitoring occurrence of events in a monitored area, where a monitoring equipment displays information that reflects sensor data reported from sensors in the monitored area. When the monitoring center detects an abnormal event, it identifies a set of sensors which are potentially impacted by the event, and triggers the sensors to enter a vigilance state of elevated operation and to deliver enhanced sensor data. Further, a representation of the abnormal event is auto-zoomed on the monitoring equipment based on the enhanced sensor data from the sensors to increase resolution of the displayed representation.

A client and a method in a client in a communication network comprising a core network, for providing a communication service, is provided. The method comprises receiving a session setup request from an originating party, requesting a session with a destination party. The setup request comprises a capability indication associated with the originating party and a session type indication. The method further comprises determining capabilities of devices in a first communication context associated with the destination party and comparing the capabilities of the devices in the first communication context to the capability indication and to the session type indication in the received request Still further, the method comprises determining a level of correspondence between the capability indication and the session type indication, and the capabilities of devices in the first communication context, and indicating a device in the first communication context having a suitable level of correspondence to the capability indication associated with the originating party and the session type indication.

It is presented a method for matching a media source and a media receiver. The method comprises the steps of: receiving position messages from a plurality of media sources, the position messages comprising geographic position data indicating a geographic position of each respective media source; receiving a request media message from the media receiver, the request media message comprising desired geographic position data indicating a desired geographic position of a media source; creating a matching group comprising all matching media sources of the plurality of media sources, which matching media sources are in a geographic position matching the desired geographic position; forwarding a live media stream, captured by at least one of the matching media sources of the matching group, to the media receiver; and maintaining the matching group. A corresponding media broker server, computer program and computer program product are also presented.

In one aspect, the teachings herein address the changing network capacity requirements that arise in electronic conferencing systems not hosted in a fully dedicated network using a clever prioritization scheme that is determined in view of which source streams () available in the electronic conference are being used by respective conference clients () and how they are being used by those clients (). In one non-limiting example, the electronic conference is a video conference managed by an electronic conferencing server () in a host network ().

An arrangement, and corresponding method, which arrangement is configured to recognize a conference participant--who is currently talking during a conference session The arrangement comprises an identifying unitincluding a biometric detectoradapted to capture at least one biometric characteristic of the participant--, and a comparison unitadapted to compare the biometric characteristic to stored biometric characteristics in a database, each stored characteristic being associated with an owner identity. The arrangement also comprises a display enableradapted to, when a match is found between the captured biometric characteristic of the participant--and a stored biometric characteristic in the&#x2014;database, enable display of the identity associated with the matching participant to other participants--in the conference session.

Arrangements in a device for use with a service involving play out of audio from a headset are provided. The arrangements include an application for providing the play out of audio to a user of the device. The application has at least two modes of operation including first and second active modes. In the first active mode, the headset is in full physical contact with the user. In the second active mode, the headset may not be in full physical contact with the user. The application is configured to switch between the first and second modes of operation based on whether the headset is detected to be in full physical contact with the user. In the first active mode, the user is entitled to full use and/or operation of the service. In the second active mode, the user is entitled to modified use and/or operation of the service. Related methods are also provided.
