This specification describes a method comprising determining an orientation of a first apparatus with respect to a second apparatus (S) based on at least one radio frequency packet passed wirelessly between the first and second apparatuses, and causing performance of an active scan for the second apparatus or a third apparatus associated with the second apparatus (S) only if it is determined that the orientation of the first apparatus with respect to the second apparatus satisfies at least one predetermined condition (S).

Causing performance of an active scan

In accordance with an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus comprising a receiver configured participate in an association with a first node, and at least one processing core configured to obtain a first credential set based on the association, to determine the apparatus has become associated with a computer, to receive an encrypted first key from the first node, to decrypt the encrypted first key and to provide the decrypted first key to the computer.

Secure access to remote data

This specification describes a method comprising causing a trackable device to transition between a first positioning mode and a second positioning mode, wherein, in the first positioning mode, the trackable device causes wireless transmission of one or more data packets each including a data portion for enabling determination of a bearing between the trackable device and a locator device and, in the second positioning mode, the trackable device causes wireless transmission of one or more data packets which do not include the data portion for enabling determination of the bearing between the trackable device and the locator device.

Causing a transition between positioning modes

In accordance with an example embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method, comprising receiving in an apparatus a first message from a second apparatus located in a different domain as the apparatus, the first message comprising a logical name of the second apparatus and a first global address, receiving a second message from a third apparatus, the second message comprising a second global address, and determining whether the first and second global addresses are the same address, or where the first and second global addresses are IPv6 addresses, whether they belong to the same network, and responsive to the first and second global addresses being the same address, or in the case of IPv6 belonging to the same network, causing transmission of information comprising at least one of a logical name and a local address of the second apparatus to the third apparatus.

Method and apparatus for connection management

A method, apparatus, and computer program product are provided to facilitate seamless switching between source and target devices. Relative to the source device, a user interface state of the source device is provided to the target device and database replication is initiated in response to an indication of a switch between the source and target devices. The target device is permitted to access a database of the source device while the source database is replicated to the target device. Relative to the target device and in response to a switch from the source device to the target device, the state is received from the source device in conjunction with an initiation of database replication. The user interface is configured in accordance with the state received from the source device. The target device also directs access to a database of the source device while the source database is replicated.

Method and apparatus for facilitating switching between devices

An apparatus for employing a form engine as a script engine may include a processor. The processor may be configured to determine whether an event relates to starting a form or running a script, employ a form engine having a user interface portion including user interface components in response to a determination that the event relates to starting the form, and adapt the form engine by providing a reduced user interface portion that does not create user interface components and does not generate user interface events in response to a determination that the event relates to running the script. A corresponding method and computer program product are also provided.

Method, apparatus, mobile terminal and computer program product for employing a form engine as a script engine

An apparatus includes an adaptation proxy which is configured to receive data in a first form markup language that is intended for a client device and adapt portions of the received data which are incompatible with the client device into a second form markup language that is compatible with the client device. The adaptation proxy is further configured to replace validation elements in the first form markup language with corresponding constraints in the second form markup language. The first form markup language may be the full XForms standard, while the second form markup language may be XForms Basic.

Method, apparatus, mobile terminal and computer program product for converting from a first forms markup language to a second forms markup language

A method for selecting a data set to be synchronized from databases of a data system, in which system metadata illustrating the relationships between data units of the data system are stored for the selection of the data set to be synchronized. The metadata comprises at least information on the relevance between the data units. When a first data set is to be synchronized, metadata associated with at least one initial data unit of the first data set is retrieved. Next, a second data set, which according to at least one metadata element comprises a data unit of maximum relevance to the initial data unit, is selected for synchronization.

Selecting data for synchronization

The invention relates to a method of detecting duplicates in a synchronization system comprising at least one client device and at least two synchronization servers. The method comprises the steps of allocating first identifiers to the data units to be synchronized for use in the client device and second identifiers for use in the synchronization server; maintaining mapping tables for the synchronization servers by adding to the mapping table first identifiers and second identifiers allocated to the data units to be synchronized via the synchronization server. The method further comprises the steps of comparing the identifier pairs formed by the first and second identifiers added to the mapping tables of different synchronization servers; and causing at least part of the identifier pairs of the mapping tables to correspond to each other.

Arrangement of data synchronization in a telecommunications system

According to a first aspect of the invention metadata between user data items and software data items is maintained. The utility of at least one user data item is determined on the basis of the properties of one or more software data items related to the user data item in the metadata. The user data item and one or more software data items related thereto are selected to the data set for synchronization in response to the utility of the user data item meeting a predetermined criterion.
