Embodiment Construction

[0026] Briefly, the present invention provides a solution to enable the use and consumption of user services through a group comprising a plurality of user terminals, without the need for a central server (such as the PSM server mentioned above). The present solution can establish and manage the group based entirely on peer-to-peer (P2P) communication between terminals of the user group.

[0027] By discovering and sharing different capabilities or functional resources in different user terminals, user services can be used in a more optimized manner, for example, with improved performance, increased value and / or lower price, and thus generally improved user experience. Thus, the present solution provides a group management system with pooled capabilities and functional resources among participating terminals, as well as shared functionality for group service management. Therefore, users in the group can also freely select or build user services based on their aggregated termi...

Abstract

A method and apparatus for enabling user services in a communication network with a plurality of terminal users. An initiating user terminal (200) executes a group discovery process with the terminals (202) to form a user group. Capabilities are exchanged with the terminals, including at least one of: functional resources, available services, equipment information, applications or data programs, and current traffic or connection characteristics When a group service request (R) is received from a user terminal (D) in the group, functions and actions required for the requested service are assigned to functional resources in the terminals based on the exchanged terminal capabilities. The requested group service can then be consumed by means of these functional resources without involving an operator controlled group management server.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to methods and apparatus for implementing user services in a group of end users of a communication network. Background technique [0002] With the advent of 3G mobile phones, a new packet-based communication technology using IP (Internet Protocol) has been developed to support communication between users with multimedia services. Numerous mobile and fixed terminals with multimedia communication capabilities have also emerged on the market. In order to increase the range of usage of communication terminals, new services involving different types of media communication for end users are also continuously being developed. In this specification, the term "user service" generally denotes any type of service that can be activated and used by a communication terminal. [0003] Recently, solutions have been devised for creating and delivering relevant and potentially attractive services for different service consumers ...
