In addition, the body network devices can be configured to support networked communication of status data, physiological information, alerts, control signals, and other information between the body network devices and “external” devices, systems, or communication networks. The networked medical devices are configured to support a variety of wireless data communication protocols for efficient communication of data within the medical device network. In addition, the wireless medical devices may be configured to support a number of dynamically adjustable wireless data communication modes to react to current operating conditions, application-specific data content, or other criteria.

A system and method that facilitates dynamic group formation for social interaction and/or real-time sharing of content with the group is provided. A group formation system includes a user interface component that facilitates a user's entry of information and display of information regarding group formation. For example, the user interface component can be employed, for example, with a mobile communication device such as a mobile phone, personal digital assistant (PDA), a smart phone, a small, web based mobile or a wireless application protocol (WAP) client, and/or a regular web client. The system can further include a group formation component that forms a group based, at least in part, upon information received from a user via the interface component. The group configuration component can further store information regarding groups (e.g., a name/identifier, member(s), event(s) and/or shared context associated with the group) in a group information data store. For example, the group configuration component can form a group based, at least in part, upon information stored in the group information data store (implicit group formation). The group information data store can, optionally, provide archival access to communications and/or shared content (e.g., through a mobile communications device and/or a PC-based web browser).

A method (FIG. 5) and apparatus (FIG. 3) to provide control and policy enforcement of WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) services in a wireless data networks is taught herein. WAP traffic is inspected with efficient algorithms to intercept un-registered WAP access and intercept dynamic change of user service selection. The intercepted WAP requests are modified with value-added parameters (such as QoS and subscriber identifiers) as per user and service provider agreement and table data. A series of strategies are described to blend wireless intelligence, user preference and service subscription, network operator requirements and service provider or enterprise preferences into routing and drive page generation. The means to dynamically provision users' service choices to wireless network elements are also presented without having to break the session within the system. This enables innovative data services such as pay-per-use, smart routing, and enterprise secured WAP services unlike any current conventional system.

A system, method, and apparatus for transmitting a packet from a server to a wireless client, using direct digital calls, wherein the server initiates the call are presented. The server transmits a packet to addressed to an Internet Protocol (IP) address associated with the wireless client. The packet is received by a wireless application gateway which maintains a table correlating IP addresses with mobile services integrated services digital network (MSISDN) numbers or mobile identification numbers (MIN). The MSISDN/MIN number is then used to request routing information. In response to the request, a dynamic IP address and a traffic channel are allocated to the wireless client. The dynamic IP address is transmitted to the wireless application protocol gateway. Upon receiving the IP address, the wireless application protocol gateway transmits the digital data communication towards the IP address. The digital data communication is received by a serving mobile switching center which causes the digital data communication to be transmitted to the wireless client using the allocated traffic channel.

The invention relates to a charge information sending method, used in wireless application protocol (WAP) service, which comprises: the mobile terminal via WAP gateway uses WAP service; the WAP gateway charges the mobile terminal and sends the charge information to the mobile terminal. The invention can make the WAP gateway instantly send the charge information of consumed WAP service to the user terminal, to support the control and application of WAP service.

A wireless searching method through Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) which includes the steps of: submitting a query by a user of a mobile terminal to a search engine through a wireless telecommunication network; matching at least a query history stored in a user preference file with the query; and selecting the query history to retrieve information of the query history at the mobile terminal. Therefore, the user is able to quickly and precisely to obtain a search result through the mobile terminal by accessing the user preference file in the search engine.

The invention relates to methods for managing state information associated with user agents in systems utilizing the wireless application protocol. According to the invention, the user agent indicates in the header information of a WAP message such as a request to the cookie proxy that the user agent currently has a session having associated state information, when the user agent has received header information indicating the presence of a cookie during the current session. This informs the cookie proxy that it should continue storing the cookies associated with the current session. When the cookie proxy receives for the next time a WAP message without such indication, it can assume that a new session has started, in which case the cookie proxy can discard all cookies bound to the previous session unless certain parameters of certain cookies explicitly indicate that they should not be discarded at that moment. Further, in an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the cookie proxy can indicate to the user agent that it has no cookies associated with the current session. The invention allows the synchronization of the user agent and the cookie proxy.

The present invention is based on a concept to provide session and profile management for network communication, especially over hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP), employing available communication methods. Session and profile management is available and standardized for mobile communication by the means of the wireless session protocol (WSP) employable for wireless application protocol (WAP) communication. This wireless session protocol (WSP) is limited to mobile communication. The analog communication standard hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) available and standardized for wireline communication does not offer a session and profile management. The present invention offers a method to establish an analog session and profile management by the means of cookies or modified uniform resource locators (URL) even over the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) without requiring substantial changes to the hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) standard.
