FILTERING OF ELECTRONIC INFORMATION TO BE TRANSFERRED TO A TERMINAL
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- storing by a network element a specific filtering parameter in association with a multimedia message addressed to a recipient; and
transferring by the network element the specific filtering parameter to an apparatus of the recipient over a cellular telecommunication connection so as to enable filtering by the apparatus of the multimedia message before the multimedia message is transferred to the apparatus through the telecommunication connection;
wherein the filtering parameter is configured to automatically allow the apparatus to either prevent or allow a transfer of the multimedia message to the apparatus over the telecommunication connection on the basis of said filtering parameter.

Abstract
A device, a terminal and a method are shown for filtering electronic information to be transferred to the terminal through a telecommunication connection. A specific filtering parameter (30-32) is attached to the electronic information by the transferring device for the purpose of filtering before the electronic information is transferred to the terminal through the connection, and informing the terminal of the filtering parameter (30-32) before the information is transferred through the connection. In the terminal, the informed filtering parameter (30-32) is checked and receipt of the information allowed or prevented on the basis of the filtering parameter (30-32). If allowed, the electronic information is transferred to the terminal through the connection, and if prevented, the information is not transferred to the terminal through the connection.

12. An apparatus comprising:
-
a radio part configured to enable receiving electronic information through a cellular telecommunication connection; and a processor configured to receive a filtering parameter over the cellular telecommunication connection via the radio part, which filtering parameter is related to the electronic information; wherein the processor is further configured to automatically allow or prevent the receiving of the electronic information on the basis of said filtering parameter and the apparatus is arranged not to receive the electronic information through the cellular telecommunication connection when the filtering parameter denotes the electronic information being prevented. - View Dependent Claims (13)

15. A method comprising:
-
receiving by an apparatus of a recipient to whom electronic information is addressed a filtering parameter associated with electronic information that is to be received through a cellular telecommunication connection; automatically allowing or preventing receiving of the electronic information on the basis of the filtering parameter; and preventing the receiving of the electronic information through the cellular telecommunication connection if the filtering parameter denotes the electronic information as information whose receipt is to be prevented. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
