The basic concept of the method for requesting location related information of a mobile communication terminal device comprises an encoding of a location request. The location request contains information and commands for instructing a receiving location serving networked device to retrieve location related information accordingly and a transmitting of the encoded location request to the location serving networked device. The basic concept of the method for serving for serving location related information of a mobile communication terminal device comprises a receiving of a location request as defined above, a retrieving of the location related information in accordance with the location request, an encoding of a location response in accordance with the retrieval results and containing at least the retrieved location related information and transmitting of the encoded location response to the mobile communication terminal device. Devices performing these methods are shown.

The communications terminal comprises: a playback device which playbacks content; a reading device which reads in access information recorded on a prescribed recording medium, the access information being necessary for downloading the content which can be played back by the playback device, via a network; a communications device which downloads via communications the content corresponding to the access information according to the access information read in; a storage device which stores the downloaded content, the storage device storing details of the access information in association with the content, the details of the access information being used in downloading the content; a judging device which judges whether or not the content corresponding to the read access information is present in the storage device, according to information which is stored in the storage device, when the access information is read in by the reading device; and a control device which controls the playback device, the reading device, the communications device, the storage device, and the judging device, wherein: if the judging device judges that the content is present in the storage device, the control device controls for acquiring the content corresponding to the access information read in from the storage device, and for playing back the content; and if the judging device judges that the content is not present in the storage device, the control device controls for downloading the content corresponding to the access information read in, and for playing back the content.

A short-range RF network deployed at a site larger than the coverage area of a single short-range RF transceiver includes a plurality of short-range RF transceivers deployed with overlapping coverage areas and accessible through a gateway, and accommodates terminal devices to establish communication through any transceivers with the gateway or with other of the terminal devices. The system further includes a WAP / Web server in communication with the Internet and in communication with the gateway. Terminal devices may establish Internet sessions through a node, the gateway, the WAP / Web server, and the Internet with remote Web servers or with remote users, and are assigned PPP IP numbers for such sessions. A terminal device which roams from the coverage area of one node to the coverage area of another node, and which is accordingly assigned a new PPP IP number, may continue in an Internet session by virtue of a shared database associated with the WAP / Web server and updated by the gateway. The shared database enables correlation of the terminal device's current location in the network with the PPP IP number by which Internet communications refer to it.

The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for dragging and dropping objects between local and remote modules. Terminal server components simulate the functionality of participants in drag and drag operations to facilitate the dragging and dropping of objects between local and remote modules and vice versa. The terminal server components interact locally to communicate with modules participating in a drag and drop operation. The terminal server components also send messages over a terminal server session to relay appropriate drag and drop information to corresponding terminal server components on the other end of the terminal server session.
