Access to wireless communication is disclosed, wherein a network control unit identifies availability of different communication networks for a communication device. The communication device is notified of a recommendation of identified communication networks. In response to this notification, the communication device initiates access to the recommended communication network for establishing a communication channel.

The present invention discloses a method, request detector, inference engine, and system for consolidating data from distributed databases into a central database. The method comprises the steps of receiving access information comprising request information to the distributed databases, analyzing the received access information, and aggregating into the central database the data content of the distributed databases in dependence on the analyzed access information.

System for consolidating data from distributed databases

Monitoring events triggered by a computer network. Each event being provided with attribute values allocated to a given set of attributes, and providing an event display, determining a primary attribute and a corresponding display label of the events selected from the given set of attributes presented with attribute values on a cross plot, providing a pattern algorithm to detect whether an arrived event is part of a given pattern, providing a mapping algorithm to map attribute values on the cross plot, allocating a second display label to the events indicating the attributes uncovered as part of the given pattern, plotting events arriving and including an attribute value allocated to a primary attribute into the cross plot, and plotting events arriving within the time period and detected by the pattern algorithm as part of the given pattern into the cross plot with the second display label indicating the given pattern.

The present invention provides methods, systems and apparatus for integrating browser-incompatible information in a Web content file and for displaying the information on a computing device of a browser environment. A Web content providing means is capable of providing the Web content file, and performs the following steps: receiving the Web content file that comprises an element having a remote procedure call (RPC) request generating instruction for generating an RPC request from the browser environment; interpreting the Web content file for displaying on the browser environment; interpreting the RPC request generating instruction to generate the RPC request; transmitting the RPC request to a data server indicated in the RPC request generating instruction of the element; receiving response data from the data server; and modifying the displaying of the Web content file on the browser environment by the response data.

A method for activating a device operatively coupled to an activation circuit includes steps of: receiving a password-protected instruction sent by wireless communication to the device; decoding the instruction using the password; and activating the activation circuit by permanently changing the state of the activation circuit from an off state to an on state.

Automatic data consolidation

A computer-readable medium is encoded with a method of externalizing legacy data from a legacy database on a data resource into an Extensible Markup Language ('XML')-compliant format where the format is specified by an automatically generated XML meta-description, thus enabling access and processing of legacy data by XML-compliant applications.
