Abstract:
A networked identity provider can provide (101) an opportunity to a user to establish a dependency between, on the one hand, at least one item of information in a first networked identity provider user identity as is maintained by that networked identity provider and, on the other hand, at least one item of information in a second networked identity provider with which the first networked identity provider can be federated. This networked identity provider can then facilitate establishment (102) of that dependency. These teachings will further support the provision of an opportunity (103) to also establish relative user characterization levels with respect to these items of information to thereby influence subsequent sharing of identity information as between the first and the second networked identity providers.
Abstract:
A method for providing action information about an identity of a communication device to a relying party in an identity federation environment is disclosed, in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The communication device has an identity-based relationship with an asserting party. The method includes, monitoring an action performed in the identity federation environment by the communication device. The action is monitored at the asserting party. Further, the method includes, generating an identity federation token based on the action performed in the identity federation environment. The identity federation token is associated with the identity of the communication device. The identity token indicates information associated with the action to the relying party. Furthermore, the method includes sending the identity federation token to the relying party. The identity federation token indicates the action information to the relying party.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus, and electronic device for hierarchical communications are disclosed. A connection interface (1260) may receive a query. A processor (1210) may select an initial expert from the hierarchical expert tree based upon the query and direct the query towards the initial expert. A session initiation protocol server 418 may generate a hierarchical expert tree from an expert pool.
Abstract:
A method for providing information about an identity of a communication device to a relying party in an identity federation environment is disclosed. The method includes receiving a first token that is associated with a first identity. The first token includes a set of pre-defined constraints. The method further includes receiving a second token that is associated with a second identity. The second token is used to satisfy the set of pre-defined constraints of the first token. Furthermore, the method includes indicating the first identity and the second identity to the relying party. The first identity and the second identity provide information about the identity of the communication device.
Abstract:
A method for managing communication-sessions at a Communication Diversion Notification Server (CDNS) (108) in a network (100) is disclosed. The method includes receiving (404) a message. The method further includes sending (406) a communication-diversion-notification to the diverting user equipment (UE) (104) based on filter-criteria. The communication-diversion-notification is sent in response to the message. The communication-diversion-notification notifies the diverting UE about the diversion of the communication-session to a target UE (108).
