The invention relates to a method and a Messaging Service system which includes one or more Messaging Service terminals and a control means being adapted for communication with a printing means. The Messaging Service terminal is adapted to send a message to the control means, which message contains a print-related information section and a message content section representing the message content. The print-related information section contains print-related information and designates the delivery of the message content section to the printing means or to a second Messaging Service terminal. The system is preferably implemented as a Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) system. The message content section may represent one or more images. The print-related information section is preferably contained in a header of the message, and may contain authorization information related to printing or copying rights for printing or copying the message content, preferably the image or images represented by the message content section, by the second Messaging Service terminal.

Various embodiments of the invention provide the browser of the apparatus with a NFC scripting programming language application protocol interface (API). The NFC scripting programming language API offers the necessary interface for NFC applications to the apparatus's browser. Advantageously the NFC system software can communicate and handshake with browser's scripting programming language engine. In various embodiments of the invention, a suitable scripting programming language extension having the necessary NFC library are included into the browser's scripting programming language library.

Method and an apparatus comprising a browser

A system and method for enabling the operation of intervendor and intravendor messaging service systems within an operator network includes correctly routing data messages and handshaking messages between the various system components. In one aspect, the present invention uses the uniform resource identifier of a particular messaging system to route one or more handshaking messages from a target terminal to the particular messaging system. In another aspect, the present invention uses a message transaction identification embedded in the handshaking message to direct the handshaking message to the correct messaging service system. In one embodiment, the transaction identification is analyzed by a load balancing switch to determine the location of the particular messaging service system. In another embodiment, one or more of the several messaging service systems in the operator network are used to analyze the transaction identification to determine the location of the particular messaging service system.

System and method for operating intravendor and intervendor messaging systems

A system for distributing information via short-range wireless communication. A mobile server receives information from an information provider for distribution to encountered devices. The information received from the service provider may contain both content to be distributed and context information that controls how the content is distributed. The mobile server may sense current environmental conditions, which are compared to distribution rules created from the context information to control how content information is distributed. The present invention is suitable for many applications, including the distribution of podcast-related information.

Portable local server with context sensing

Service links corresponding to services provided by remote service providers are received. These links may be from a short-range wireless communications network. A previously stored remote service link may be replaced with the received remote service link when a maximum number of stored service links is reached. Also, the received remote service link may replace an earlier stored service link when a identifier corresponding to the received remote service link is the same as an identifier corresponding to the earlier stored remote service link. Representations of remote service links may be displayed, for example, in the form of graphical icons.

System and method for remote service information

A method, system, and device for providing access to network-based services by analyzing a symbol associated with a network service. A representation of a symbol associated with a network service is captured. For example, a graphic symbol associated with a network-connected business may be captured using a mobile telephone equipped with a camera. The symbol may depict a business logo or any other symbol associated with the network service. The representation of the symbol is analyzed by comparing the symbol to a library of ideal symbols. Each ideal symbol is associated with a network address of the network service. If the representation of the symbol matches an ideal symbol, the network address associated with the ideal symbol is used to access the network-based service.
