A system and method that includes capturing content active in a device, identifying at least one target device to which the captured content is to be uploaded, and automatically uploading the content to the at least one other target device if a content sharing module in the device is active.

Life recorder and sharing

The invention relates to a method for using an application () in a mobile station (). The application has a first mode of operation and a second mode of operation, whereby the first mode of operation is passive, and in the second mode of operation the application controls the master control unit (MCU) of the mobile station. The invention also relates to a system for making payments, comprising at least one mobile station (), which has an application (), means for using the application (), and the first means of data transfer (IR,, RF) for local data transfer. The system also comprises at least one cash register () or the like, which has the second means for data transfer (IR), and the application () comprises means for transferring data between the first means for data transfer (IR) and the second means for data transfer (IR).

Method for using applications in a mobile station, a mobile station, and a system for effecting payments

A method is provided for using an application ( ) in a mobile station ( ). The application has a first mode of operation and a second mode of operation. The first mode of operation is passive. In the second mode of operation the application ( ) controls a master control unit (MCU) of the mobile station ( ). Also provided is a system for making payments, comprising at least one mobile station ( ) which has an associated application ( ), a component for using the application ( ), and a first transceiver (IR, ) for providing local data transfer. The system also comprises at least one cash register ( ) or the like, which has a second transceiver for providing data transfer (IR ). The application ( ) has a capability for causing data to be transferred from the first transceiver (IR) to the second transceiver (IR ).

A method is provided for using an application (18) in a mobile station (1). The application has a first mode of operation and a second mode of operation. The first mode of operation is passive. In the second mode of operation the application (18) controls a master control unit (MCU) of the mobile station (1). Also provided is a system for making payments, comprising at least one mobile station (1) which has an associated application (18), a component for using the application (18), and a first transceiver (IR, 20) for providing local data transfer. The system also comprises at least one cash register (21) or the like, which has a second transceiver for providing data transfer (IR2). The application (18) has a capability for causing data to be transferred from the first transceiver (IR) to the second transceiver (IR2)
