Abstract:
A method and arrangement for authorizing an initially unauthorized watching client to receive client data of an observed client from a client data server. The watching client sends an expanded request for client data to the server. The expanded request contains additional information such as a text string, a picture, or a video/audio clip. The server extracts the additional information and sends it to the observed client. The observed client can then decide whether to authorize the watching client to receive the observed client's data based on the additional information.
Abstract:
A method and arrangement in a dispatcher function in a telecommunication network for providing notifications of updates is provided. The dispatcher function receives, from a central database, an update notification. The dispatcher function identifies, at least partly based on the content of the update notification, at least one of the application server instances entitled to receive the update notification. The dispatcher function provides the data notification to the identified application server instances, thereby enabling the central database to operate in a stateless manner with respect to at least one User Equipment associated with the at least one application server instances.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatuses for providing notification data, e.g. in a presence service, referring to a plurality of presentities (B1, B2, B3) to a plurality of watchers (A1, A2, A3) in a communication network. A first notification service manager (300a) operating for a notification server (300) buffers (3:3) multiple watcher specific notifications and sends (3:5) a single joint notification containing the buffered notifications to a second notification service manager (302a) e.g. operating for an RLS entity (302). The second notification service manager (302a) then splits (3:6) the joint notification into the original multiple watcher specific notifications, and sends (3:7) them individually towards respective watchers. Thereby, transmission of numerous individual notifications from one or more notification servers to, e.g. one or more RLS entities can be avoided.
