Method and network node for managing device-related data to be distributed to a communication device in a communication network
First Claim
1. A method performed by a network node for managing device-related data to be distributed to a communication device in a communication network, the method comprising:
- receiving location information of the communication device from a presence protocol server, wherein the location information is received over a presence protocol;
receiving a device identification for identifying the communication device, wherein the device identification is received over the presence protocol, and wherein the received device identification is a presence-protocol device identification;
determining a network node device identification based on the received presence-protocol device identification;
selecting device-related data for the communication device based on the received device location information; and
transmitting the selected device-related data to the communication device according to the received device identification, wherein the transmitting of the selected device-related data to the communication device is performed according to the determined network node device identification.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method performed by a network node (110) for managing device-related data to be distributed to a communication device (101, 102, 103, 104) in a communication network. The method comprises receiving (304) location information of the communication device from a presence protocol server (120), wherein the location information is received over a presence protocol, and receiving (306) a device identification for identifying the communication device, wherein the device identification is received over the presence protocol. The method further comprises selecting (308) device-related data for the communication device based on the received device location information, and transmitting (310) the selected device-related data to the communication device according to the received device identification. The present disclosure also relates to a corresponding network node. The present disclosure also relates to a method in a communication device communicating with the network node and to a corresponding communication device.
