A service translation proxy provides a variety of translation services during the service discovery and subsequent service consumption phase. The service translation proxy receives a service request in accordance with one particular Service Description Protocol (SDP) and optionally translates the service request into the correct SDP as required using the appropriate service discovery interface. In addition, session description, session media, and session transport translations are implemented by the service translation proxy as required to support the service.

System and method for comprehensive service translation

The method disclosed gives the user rapid notice of those Bluetooth devices within communication range, and yet it selectively blocks any notice about Bluetooth devices that the user wishes to ignore. Bluetooth server devices can indicate to the user's Bluetooth client device the service the server device has available by sending service/device icon information to Bluetooth client device. This information can be a value in the class-of-device (CoD) field of a frequency hop synchronization (FHS) packet that it sends during the process of exchanging inquiry and paging packets with the Bluetooth client device. If the server device has begun by transmitting an inquiry packet, then the CoD value will be sent in its paging packet. If the server device is responding to an inquiry, then its CoD value will be in its inquiry response packet. Alternately, the service/device icon information can be sent after a connection has been made with the client device, as part of a Service Discovery Protocol (SDP) response packet.

A wireless mobile terminal allows a user to control receiving of location based push-type transmissions using a menu driven interface. The terminal includes a storage device maintaining dedicated push pages, wherein the pages are used when receiving location based push-type transmissions by the terminal. A controller activates a short range RF transceiver module using a selected dedicated push page, which enables reception of selected location, based push-type transmissions when the push information matches the dedicated push page in the terminal.

Generic Internet Protocol (IP) authentication is provided by authentication server (). Application Programming Interface (API) () detects the protocol type of an incoming authentication request and invokes one of a number of authentication mechanisms (-) depending on the protocol type detected. A localized repository () is provided to store Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) information and other algorithm data as required to facilitate the authentication session.

System, apparatus, and method for providing generic internet protocol authentication

A method and corresponding equipment providing automatic bearer selection so that a user of a telecommunications device () can establish a connection with another user without having to indicate a bearer to use, i.e. in case the other user is reachable using different bearers (communication technologies) such as Bluetooth, UTRAN or WLAN, and even in case the other user can be reached via more than one telecommunication device. To enable a device () to automatically select a bearer for providing a connection () to a second device (), the method includes: a step () in which the first device () refers to a contacts bearer data store (') accessible to the first device () to obtain a list of at least two possible bearers for providing the connection (); and a step () in which the first device () selects one of the at least two possible bearers based on a predetermined selection strategy ().

The method disclosed gives the user rapid notice of those Bluetooth devices within communication range, and yet it selectively blocks any notice about Bluetooth devices that the user wishes to ignore. Bluetooth server devices can indicate to the user's Bluetooth client device the service the server device has available by sewing service/device icon information to Bluetooth client device. This information can be a value in the class-of-device (CoD) field of a frequency hop synchronization (FHS) packet that it sends during the process of exchanging inquiry and paging packets with the Bluetooth client device. If the server device has begun by transmitting an inquiry packet, then the CoD value will be sent in its paging packet. If the server device is responding to an inquiry, then its CoD value will be in its inquiry response packet. Alternately, the service/device icon information can be sent after a connection has been made with the client device, as part of a Service Discovery Protocol (SDP) response packet.
