Benefits of technology

Enables fast and easy setup of peer-to-peer IP connections between devices, eliminating the need for a server, supporting direct sharing of media content, and allowing for portability and use with devices having temporary or stable IP addresses.

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, a connection between two mobile telephones is not sufficient to provide a peer-to-peer Internet Protocol (IP) connection and an access to the content.
In today's solutions, a server is required to set up a peer-to-peer IP connection, which is time consuming and cumbersome.

Embodiment Construction

[0017]The invention is defined as a method and an arrangement which may be put into practice in the embodiments described below.

[0018]FIG. 1 shows a first communication device 100 (referred to herein as first device 100), adapted to communicate with a second communication device 110 (referred to herein as second device 110). The first device 100 and second device 110 are included in a communication system, such as, e.g., a radio communication system using technologies such as, e.g., Global System for Mobile communication (GSM), Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), a Plain Old Telephone Service system (POTS), or the Internet. The first device 100 and second device 110 may be, e.g., a portable device, a mobile phone, a Personal Digital Computer, a POTS device, a computer or any other communication device. The first device 100 and the second device 110 further have a respective IP address and a respective telephone number or some other kind of address that make them capable ...

Abstract

A method in a first device for setting up a peer-to-peer IP connection between the first device and a second device may include sending a request to a second device for setting up the peer-to-peer IP connection between the first device and the second device. The request may include an IP address of the first device. Alternatively, an IP address of the second device may be received in a message from the second device. The peer-to-peer IP connection between the first device and the second device is then set up. The setting up may be initiated by one of the parties associated with the first device or the second device by connecting to the other party using the IP address of the other party.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119 based on U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 806,274, filed Jun. 30, 2006, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]The present invention relates generally to setting up connections and, more particularly, to setting up a peer-to-peer IP connection between communication devices.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]With the proliferation of portable multimedia devices and larger, cheaper memories for storing content, there is a growing desire for consumers to share personal media content between several portable devices. It has become more and more frequent for consumers to store media content on a portable device, such as, e.g., a mobile telephone, with a wireless data connection. Unfortunately, a connection between two mobile telephones is not sufficient to provide a peer-to-peer Internet Protocol (IP) connection and an access to the content. In today's solution...
