Creation of a Dynamic Contact List in which Contacts are Ordered Depending on their Relevance at a Point in Time 
Europe GB20090011082 20090626 
Issued December 29, 2010 
A method of managing communications with the plurality of communicable entities by creating a communication log for use on a terminal, including: for each communicable entity obtaining communication data relating to a plurality of communication 
t!ypes; creating the communication log of communicable entities, and relevant to a particular point in time, by applying an algorithm relating to a listing 
Aggregated communications filter 
Europe EP2203023 (A1) 
Filed June 30, 2010 
In a communications network including a plurality of communication channels through which communications are configured to be transmitted between a plurality of network users, a method of managing communications to be transmitted to a 
p!articular user from the plurality of communication channels and/or network users, the method including: receiving a communication from a particular communication 
Configuring Telecommunications Terminals to Use Services 
Europe WO2009136194 (A2) 
Issued December 11, 2009 
The present invention relates to configuring a telecommunications device to make use of services. 
Current provision of products and services on mobile devices is complex and does not reflect users' known patterns of use. Commonly, setting up software applications requires, finding them, downloading them and then the set-up procedure itself 
(!often including authentication such as checking. 
Method, search platform and user device for generating search results 
Europe EP 2128776 (A1) 
Filed December 2, 2009 
Knight, Clavin and Leon 
The invention relates to a method for generating search results from an index of a content store, wherein the content store contains a plurality of content items, wherein a search of a content store index is performed in accordance with user search terms 
a!nd wherein the search is furthermore Influenced by meta information, said meta information comprising at least one of device, user and context. 
Providing communication services at a mobile terminal in dependence of a foreign recipient's contact data 
Europe EP 2073502 (A1) 
Filed June 24, 2007 
Knight and Curson 
The present invention relates to a method for providing communication services at a mobile terminal (1) of a mobile communication network (2), wherein the method is characterized in that it comprises the following steps, which are carried out by at 
l!east one part of the mobile communication network: - receiving at least one set of foreign contact data (9) at a mobile terminal (1). 
Method and device for providing access to data items 
Europe EP 2113829 (A1) 
Filed November 4, 2009 
Knight, Clavin and Leon 
A method for providing access to data items by means of communication device provided with a screen. The method comprises the following steps: -- generating one icon for each received data item; -- associating the one icon to the respective data 
item; -- displaying the icons on the screen as a function of time when the assigned data item has been received; and -- creating a three-dimensional view. 
Providing information about a data item 
Europe 10006690.1 - 1238 
Filed June 28, 2010 
Nieuwerth and Knight 
The invention relates to a method for providing information about a data item. In the method, actions performed by at least one user with a copy of the data item in connection with information given by the user are analyzed, at least one keyword is 
g!enerated for each analyzed action based on the information, and the keywords are added to a metadata list associated with the data item.
