Abstract
For controlling connection between at least a user communicating device (UCD) and a network entity (NE) through a telecommunication network (TN), a controlling device (CD) linked to the network entity (NE) interrogates a social network system (SNS) to retrieve profile data of the user of the communicating device (UCD), and applies a policy to control the connection between the network entity (NE) and the user communicating device (UCD), the policy depending on the profile data including at least a social relationship between the user of the communicating device (UCD) and the user owning the network entity (NE).
Claims9
A method for controlling connection between at least a user communicating device and a network entity through a telecommunication network, comprising the following steps in a controlling device linked to the network entity, the method comprising the steps of:
- interrogating a social network system to retrieve profile data of the user of the communicating device;
- and
- applying a policy to control the connection between the network entity and the user communicating device, the policy depending on the profile data including at least a social relationship between the user of the communicating device and the user owning the network entity.
An apparatus for controlling connection between at least a user communicating device and a network entity linked to the controlling device through a telecommunication network, comprising:
- means (INT) for interrogating a social network system to retrieve profile data of the user of the communicating device;
- and
- means for applying a policy to control the connection between the network entity and the user communicating device, the policy depending on the profile data including at least a social relationship between the user of the communicating device and the user owning the network entity.
A non-transitory computer program product adapted to be executed in a controlling device (CD) for controlling connection between at least a user communicating device to a network entity linked to the controlling device through a telecommunication network, said non-transitory computer program product including instructions which, when executed in said controlling device, execute the following steps:
- interrogating a social network system to retrieve profile data of the user of the communicating device;
- and
- applying a policy to control the connection between the network entity and the user communicating device, the policy depending on the profile data including at least a social relationship between the user of the communicating device and the user owning the network entity.
