A communication method includes receiving a first message of a Short Message Service containing a first command that requests execution of a proactive command. The first message is decrypted according to protocol SCP80 to extract the first command. The execution of the proactive command is requested in order to obtain a response to the proactive command. A second message of the Short Message Service is transmitted to the remote server and indicates that the response to the proactive command has been obtained. A third message of the Short Message Service is received and contains a second command from the remote server. The third message is decrypted according to the protocol SCP80. A response message is generated as a function of the response and encrypted according to the protocol SCP80 to generate a fourth message of the Short Message Service transmitted to the remote server.

Embodiments herein relate to a method performed by a network node (110) for selecting a communication mode in a wireless communications network (100). The network node (110) obtains information about a first and a second wireless device (121, 122) in the wireless communications network (100) indicating that the first and the second wireless device (121, 122) are capable of communicating using any one of a set of at least three communication modes comprising at least a cellular communication mode, a Device-to-Device, D2D, half-duplex communication mode, and a D2D full-duplex communication mode. Also, the network node (110) selects, from the set of at least three communication modes, one of the communication modes for a communication between the first and second wireless devices (121, 122) when at least one criterion on a capability of the first and second wireless device (121) associated with one of the communication modes is met, and/or at least one criterion on an operational capability of the network node (110) associated with one of the communication modes is met. Then, the network node (110) transmits information about the selected communication mode for the communication between the first and second wireless devices (121, 122) to at least the first wireless device (121). Embodiments of the network node (110) are also described. Furthermore, embodiments herein further relate to a wireless device (110) and method therein for selecting a communication mode for a communication with a second wireless device (122) in a wireless communications network (100).

The present invention discloses a method, a device and a mobile browser client for realizing centralized management of intelligent hardware devices by an APP, wherein the method comprising: identifying identification information of an intelligent hardware device via an identification interface provided by an APP on a mobile terminal; based on the information identifying, establishing a bluetooth connection between the mobile terminal and the intelligent hardware device; acquiring, by the APP, hardware controlling information of the intelligent hardware device through the bluetooth connection; and providing, in the APP, a display interaction interface which is based on the hardware controlling information.

A method of using subscriber identification information stored in mobile user equipment (UE) to connect to a communication service over a public wireless network in the UE, establishing a communication link between the UE and a device, generating network access information (NAI) associated with the communication service in the UE, and sending the NAI from the UE to the device via the communication link. The method further comprises connecting the communication service in the device using the NAI and terminating the connection of the communication service in the UE.

A Machine-to-machine (M2M) terminal (11) comprises a radio communication unit (111) and a controller (112). The radio communication unit (111) is configured to communicate with a base station (13). The controller (112) is configured to change at least one of a cell selection operation, a cell reselection operation, and a handover operation according to whether a specific coverage enhancement processing is required or according to whether the specific coverage enhancement processing is supported by at least one of a cell (13) in which the M2M terminal (11) camps on and a neighbouring cell (14) of the cell (13) which the M2M terminal (11) camps on. It is thus possible to provide an improved technique for allowing the M2M terminal that is supporting a special coverage enhancement processing for M2M terminals to camp on an appropriate cell.

In some examples, a first device may detect the presence of a second device or a particular person and, when a triggering event related to the second device or the particular person applies, the first device may change from a first mode to a second mode.

A sending device receives a user input indicating that the user wishes to share and open item of content with a receiving device. A near field communication link is opened between the sending device and the receiving device. Metadata for sharing the open data is gathered on the sending device and a permission setting user interface display is displayed, with the user input mechanism that allows a user to set permissions corresponding to the open item. User actuation of the permission setting user input mechanism is received, the permissions are added to the open item, and the metadata is sent to the receiving device over the near field communication link. The metadata includes a location of the open item. The open item can then be accessed by the receiving device, with the permissions applied to the open item.

Systems and methods for application level authentication are provided for use with the low energy Bluetooth device and accessory. This includes receiving accessory credentials from a server, establishing a Bluetooth low energy connection with the accessory, authenticating with the accessory, and lastly transferring data to the accessory. The transferring of the data may be either a bulk transfer, or a data stream. The authenticating may be an application layer authentication between a device and the accessory using a shared secret key and using a hash function. Additional embodiments include methods for over-the-air firmware updates, and device control of a low energy Bluetooth accessory.

Systems, devices, and methods are provided for the management of multiple sensor control devices and/or multiple reader devices in an in vivo analyte monitoring environment, and also for resolving conflicts when merging data collected by different reader devices.

A system includes a user interface presented to a developer. The developer selects a first function to supplement functionality of a first application with external functionality available from third party applications. A code generation module provides a software object to the developer for incorporation into a first state of the first application. The first state includes a user interface element associated with an entity. User selection of the user interface element initiates preparation of a query wrapper including a combination of the entity's name and a predefined text string corresponding to the first function. The query wrapper is transmitted to a search system and a result set is received and displayed. A first item of the result set includes an access mechanism for a specified state of a target application. User selection of the first item causes the access mechanism to open the target application to the specified state.
