    Abstract: A method of establishing a trustworthiness level of a participant in a communication connection between a first communication partner and a second communication partner is proposed whereby the communication behavior is adapted to the established trustworthiness level. The participant is equipped with a trustworthiness certificate and a therefrom separated securely stored participant private key. The first communication partner receives the trustworthiness certificate from the participant wherefrom the trustworthiness level is derived and established. The first communication partner tests whether the trustworthiness certificate belongs to the participant by using the participant private key. In case the trustworthiness certificate is confirmed by the test to belong to the participant, the first communication partner communicates the established trustworthiness level to the second communication partner. Then, at least one parameter of the communication behavior is chosen in dependence of the established trustworthiness level.

    Abstract: An electronic device for executing an application includes: application data, a central control unit for processing the application data according to a first method call, an interface for transmitting a description of the first method call to a second electronic device, and a synchronization entity for generating the description and passing the description to the interface. The transmitted description is used by the second electronic device to derive a second method call that is executable on the second electronic device.

    Abstract: A notebook computer contains in addition to the normal motherboard an additional self-contained low-power unit, such as an embedded PDA. With such a notebook computer there are two modes of operation possible, a high-power mode and a low-power mode. In order to make use of the embedded PDA, files, such as word processor documents, presentations and so forth are made available to the PDA. In accordance with the present invention this is done by establishing a set of working files. This may be done based on their modification date and it may depends on the requirements of the user as well as on the available resources of the embedded PDA.

    Abstract: Scheme and apparatus for distinguishing services offered by a service- providing device in adjacency of the apparatus from services offered by a service-providing devi ce not being in the apparatus' adjacency. All devices - including the apparatus - are part of a wireless local network. The apparatus maintains a record with information about services and associated identifiers as well as a list of identifiers about the service-providing devices. The associated identifiers and the list of identifiers are compared to determine an associated service as being in adjacency of the apparatus if it is rendered by a service-providing device being listed in th e list of identifiers. An associated service is determined as not being in adjacency of the apparatus if it is rendered by a service-providing device not being listed in the list of identifiers. The apparatus comprises a network interface for wireless communication with the service-providing devices, and a service discovery module which maintains the record with information services and associated identifiers.
