Full Text	A telecommunication System for transmission of user data objects from a data supply component to the user in accordance with a resulting profile information The present invention relates to a telecommunication System for transmission of user data objects from a data supply component to the user in accordance with a resulting profile information in a telecommunication network. A system for transmission or downloading of user data objects from a data supply component onto a telecommunication device, especially designed as a mobile radio device, is currently being discussed. The starting point for such discussions is that the telecommunication device is located in a telecommunication network designed as a mobile radio network, in which data generally and user data objects in particular are transmitted by means of a protocol specified by the WAP Forum (WAP: Wireless Application Protocol). It is further assumed that the data supply component of a data or content supplier is located in a further telecommunication network which is especially embodied as an Internet Protocol-based network. To establish a data connection between the data supply component and the telecommunication device (at least) two different sub-interfaces are thus needed, namely an air interface on the one hand and a cable-based interface. There is provision for WAP protocols to be used, as already mentioned, for bridging the air interface. By contrast, in the telecommunication network of the data supply component (HTTP (HTTP: Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is used. Thus, Since different protocols are used on the interface and the network side, there is oricusuiib for a connaection component to beused, in this instance what is known as a WAP gateway, which adapts the user data to the various lower layers (air interface e.g. WSP (Wireless Session Protocol) as a WAP; network side: HTTP). This type of WAP gateway is generally also capable of converting data types or formats (e.g. translating the file format "gif" into "jpeg", for files of type image or still image). Telecommunication devices such as mobile radio devices or mobile phones generally differ from each other in their characteristic features or capabilities. Thus for example the characteristics of the display devices differ greatly in some cases (e.g. in size and resolution) and thereby also their capabilities to be able to display or process specific file types or file formats. So that a data supply component or a data supply server in a network can obtain knowledge about the characteristics or capabilities of a WAP-capable telecommunication device of a user, the WAP Forum has standardized what is known as the UA-Prof (UA-Prof: User Agent Profile) [7], with the aid of which the characteristics of a WAP-capable telecommunication device can be made known on the network side (i.e. in the network of the data supply component). The method also takes into account the capabilities of a WAP gateway which handles the data transferred between telecommunication device and data supply component and can also modify said data. On the network side the provision of suitable data by a server also means that the characteristics of the WAP gateway are relevant. A description is given below, with reference to Figure ,I for a general case of how a data supply component D receives the current UA-Prof of a WAP-capable telecommunication device T. Initially, on Registration of the WAP- capable telecommunication device T or the setting up of a WSp connection, What is known a s a basic profile BP or basic profile information is transferred to the WAP gateway G. If the characteristics or capabilities of the telecommunication device T have been changed or expanded by an additionally-connected line component, such as an additional hardware component (e.g. color display), an additional difference profile DPI or first difference profile information is sent with the basic profile as a first sub-profile information object to the WAP gateway G, as is depicted by step 1 ("1" in the circle). Both profiles, namely BP and DPI, can if necessary be buffered and evaluated by WAP gateway G, cf. step 2. WAP gateway G can now for its part supplement the received profiles BP and DPI by a separate difference profile DP2 or second difference profile information. This is advantageous when the WAP gateway G has particular characteristics or capabilities which differ from those of the BP and DPI profiles sent beforehand by the WAP-capable telecommunication device T or which supplement these profiles. All (three) profiles are then transmitted in step 3 as a second sub-profile information object to the data supply component D. The data supply component D creates on the basis of all transferred profiles (BP, DPI and DP2) a resulting overall profile or overall profile object RP for the WAP-capable telecommunication device T, as should be indicated by step 4. The resulting profile RP, containing the individual characteristics of the WAP-capable telecommunication device T and the supplementary capabilities of the WAP gateway G and possibly of other network units, is the current UA-Prof and will be administered by the data supply component D. During a WSP session the downloading of any data, especially user data objects, can be initiated by a WAP-capable telecommunication Device T by sending a data request message. Should the characteristics ore capabilities of the WAp-capable telecommunication device have changed in the interim (i,e. after a WSP connection was first established) , for example through connection of another additional hardware component, in or together with a data request message issued, a current adapted difference profile DPS or a third difference profile information are transmitted in a first sub-profile information object to the WAP gateway G in step 5 and if necessary evaluated there according to step 6. The remaining transmission of the basic profile BP and the difference profiles DP3 and DP2 in a second sub-profile information object between WAP gateway G and data supply component D in accordance with step 7 and the creation of the resulting profile in accordance with step 8 are undertaken in a similar way to the method described above. If the characteristics or capabilities of the WAP-capable telecommunication device have not changed after the first setup of the WSP connection, for a data request message issued, the method refers back to the profile previously transferred and buffered in WAP gateway G (cf. step 2) or at the data supply component (cf. step 4). The principle for generating the resulting profile is very elegant, the resulting profile or overall profile namely being generated from the basic profile and any number of difference profiles. The basic assumption is further made for the use and definition of the UA-Prof that a WAP gateway recognizes and suitably handles the data types transmitted to the WAP-capable telecommunication device, i.e. changes or converts them if necessary on the path from the data supply component to the telecommunication device. A typical example of this is the conversion of an image. Assuming that the telecommunication device can only display images or the Jpeg or format and that the data supply component transmits a "gif'-type image, the WAP gateway can convert the image in accordance with its capabilities from type "gif" to type or format "jpeg" and pass the converted image on to the telecommunication device on which it can then be processed or displayed. This method is accordingly supported by UA-Profs, in that the WAP-capable telecomnunication device initially specifies in its basic profile BP the ability to process or display images of type "jpeg". The WAP gateway detects this specification, knows that it is capable itself of converting images of type "gif" into type "jpeg" and therefore specifies in difference profile DP2 that images of type "gif" will also be supported. On the data supply component side the resulting overall profile RP is generated. The data supply component can however now no longer distinguish between the original capabilities of the telecommunication device and the additional capabilities of the overall system of WAP-capable telecommunication device and BAP gateway. In this example the server-side transmission (i.e. transmission on the data supply component side) of an image of type "gif" is now possible, with the gateway undertaking the corresponding conversion. Problems can however arise when the file types requiring conversion by the WAP gateway are enclosed (packed) into another data format which cannot be suitably handled by the WAP gateway. There are two main examples which illustrate this situation: 1. Digital Bights Management (DRM) : The solution currently specified in the WAP Form for managing rights of protected digital objects is based on the fact that the object is transported in a container file or in a container, which, for unencrypted objects is of type "application/vnd.wap.drm.message" and for encrypted objects is of type "application/vnd. wap . drm. content" . With unencrypted objects there is theoretically the option for a WAP gateway to access the enclosed object and to change it, but there is no explicit provision for this to be done. With encrypted objects the WAP gateway has no possibility of accessing the object since it does not have the key and the data therefore only appears as a binary packet. Even when the enclosed object is an image of the type known to the WAP gateway which could accordingly be converted into another type, this is not possible in the case described. The enclosed object would be passed on unchanged by the WAP gateway to the telecommunication device on which it would not be able to be displayed. 2. Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) : In the MMS the message is transmitted in the form of a Multimedia Message (MM) from a so-called MMS-Relay/Server (which serves as an MMS switching unit in a network) to an MMS Client, a specific application on the WAP-capable telecommunication device. In the solution specified by the WAP Forum the MM is a message with binary codes for presentation of the header fields which are not known to the WAP gateway. The messages are of type "application/vnd.wap.mms-message" and contain the objects to be transferred. The WAP gateway in its turn has the opportunity of extracting the objects from the message and adapting them to the features of the receiving telecommunication device. If an object of a specific type, requiring conversion by the WAP gateway, is integrated into the MMS message by the MMS Relay Server, the WAP gateway cannot however perform its task, meaning that the object arrives at the telecommunication device unchanged and cannot be used there. Furthermore the that formation of an overall profile a s has been described above, makes it no longer possible to distinguish been described above, makes it no ionyer possible -to d.i.s tiuguj.sh between how the integral components of the characteristics of the telecommunication device (possibly with additional hardware components) and the additional characteristics of the system made up of telecommunication device and WAP gateway can also have a negative effect, if for example an object can be offered in different formats by the data supply component, of which some require a conversion by ; the WAP gateway to enable them to be processed by the telecommunication device, and others can be forwarded unchanged from the WAP gateway to the telecommunication device. Here the server-side (i.e. from the data supply component) selection of a format which requires no conversion by the WAP gateway is advantageous since a conversion can lower the quality of the object, additional time is needed for downloading the object for conversion, computing power is required in the WAP gateway and the user can incur additional costs, depending on the billing model. The object of the present invention is now to improve a method such as has been described with reference to Figure 1 for example such that a more efficient transmission of user data objects, particularly of encrypted or packed user data objects, is made possible. This object is achieved by the features of the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments are the object of the subclaims . For a method for the transmission of user data objects a data supply component to supply user data objects is provided which transmits information objects over one or at least one connection component to a telecommunication device of a user in accordance with an overall profile information object. The overall profile information object specifies in this case which type of a user data object can be transmitted to the telecommunication device so that it can process the object, ln addition a first item of profile information is inserted into the overall profile information object which specifies which type of user data object can be directly processed by the telecommunicaticB dwice. Furthermore a second item of profile information can be inserted which specifies which type of user data object can be converted by the connection component into a type of user data object rfiidj can be processed by a telecommunication device, this profile information, especially the first profile information, ttas allae the data supply component where possible to select the types of user data object for a transmission to the telecommunicatM devke which can be directly processed by the telecomm«nicati« device and do not require any manipulation or conversion on the put of the connection component to enable them to be processed bf tie telemaannication device . Consequently, ia accoriance with an advantageous embodiment, user data objects of a type in accordance with the first profile information are transited fron the data supply component to the telecommunicatMB device initially with high priority. This means that a check is »dc as to whether the data supply component is supplying user drta objects able to be processed directly by the telecommuBicatMBdwke. If the check is successful these types of user data objects are finally transmitted to the telecommunication device. Referraf t» tte exaaple given above, in which the telecommimicatioi dntke is able to process image data of type "jpeg", the cnaecticB cnponent is able to convert image data of type "gift iRtotjpe "jpeg and finally the data supply component provides i«age dtta of type jpeg" and "gif", the data supply component, since it recognizes from the first item of profile Information tha the telecommunication device can process data of a type “jpeg” immediately transmits this type of image data of type "jpeg" to the telecommunication device as user data objects. On the one hand this requires no conversion of image data by the connection component (possible conversion costs can be saved and the transmission time also reduced without conversion) and packing or encryption of user data objects is possible since the data supply component only transmits to the telecommunication device user data objects for which it knows, on the basis of the first profile information, that the device can process the user data object. If the check as to whether the data supply component is supplying user data objects which can be processed directly by the telecommunication device produces a negative result, then in accordance with a further embodiment of the invention user data objects of a type in accordance with the second profile information are transmitted at a lower priority than before from the data supply component to the telecommunication device. In accordance with a further advantageous embodiment the telecommunication device transmits, before the transmission of user data objects from the data supply component to telecommunication device, a first sub profile information object with the first prove our information to the connection component, which for its part supplements the first sub prefer our information object by the second profile information to form a second sub profile information object and transfers this to the data supply component. There, on the basis qf_the second sub-profile information object or all profile information transferred, an overall resulting profile information object can be created. It is further conceivable for the telecommunication device to be expanded by an additional service component which enables it to Extend the scope of the user data objects able to be processed by the telecommunicatiomn device this type of ser vice component can for example te an additional hardware component, such as a specific color display device with high resolution for displaying high-resolutioB Mid color iiiages or graphics and also an additional software cnponent or software application, for example for processing ami playing music data in the MP3 format. This type of service opponent can then be in a position to process types of user data objects which the telecommunication device can already process, but it cm also be a position to process further types of user data object which tie telecoanunication device itself cannot process. As a conseqaace the first sub-profile information object can then be supplemental by a third item of profile information which specifies the types of user data object by which the scope of the user data objects of the teleco»wnication device is expanded by the a dd i t i oral service component. To miniaia the volumes of data to be transferred between the telecoiMMBcation device and the connection component (especially if an air interface between them is provided) and/or between the connectionCD^Jonent and the data supply component, it is also conceivable, in accordance with an advantageous embodiment, to provide tie profile information in the first and/or the second sub-profile ufonation object in the form of a reference, which points to profile information in each case which is stored on the data supply cofeMBt or OB a further data supply component connected to it. This Haas that just addresses, for example a URL (URL: Uniform Resource loator) can be provided in a sub-profile information object whick reference a storage location in the data supply component or other data supply components, for example of the Manufacturere sof the the telecommunication device of the additional sevicde component data the supply component only ha s to the address when creating the overall profile object in order to obtain the corresponding profile information and insert it into the overall profile object. In accordance with a further advantageous embodiment the telecommunication device is located in the first telecommunication network and the data supply component and/or the further data supply component in a second telecommunication network, with the first and the second telecommunication network being connected to each other. The connection component can then be arranged in the first or the second telecommunication network or especially serve to interconnect the two telecommunication networks. In the case of a number of connection components the connection components can then finally be arranged in the locations just specified (e.g. as will be explained later, a communication component can serve as a WAP gateway for connecting the two telecommunication networks while one or more other communication components can be provided for example as conversion units of data or user data objects in one of the specified telecommunication networks) . In this case it is possible for the first telecommunication network to be embodied as a mobile radio network, which is operated in accordance with the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) or the UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications system) Standard. For this type of embodiment of a first telecommunication network the user data objects can be transmitted to the telecommunication device by means of WAP protocols, especially the Wireless Session Protocol. In this context the connection component can be embodied to connect the first and the second telecommunication network as a WAP gateway. It is further conceivable for the second telecommunication network to be embodied as a network based on an Internet protocol, in which the data is transferred especially by means of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol. In accordance with an advantageous embodiment the telecommunication device includes a radio module and is in particular embodies as a mobile telephone, a cordless telephone, a portable computer or a smartphone (a combination of mobile telephone and small portable computer). In accordance with a further advantageous embodiment the user data objects can contain text information, audio information, video information, executable programs, software modules, or a combination of these types of data. According to the present invention, a telecommunication System for transmission of user data objects from a data supply component to the user in accordance with a resulting profile information comprises a telecommunication network having a telecommunication device, a data supply component located in the said telecommunication network, for supplying user data objects to be transmitted, a connection component (C) provided for transmitting user data objects from the data supply component in accordance with overall profile information objects a uniform resource locator provided with reference to a storage location in the data supply component and a second telecommunication network or user device T connected to the said connector wherein the said connection component is set up so as to detect on the basis of first profile data to be processed by the terminal in accordance with the profile information and forwarding user data objects to the terminal without processing them. According to the present invention, telecommunications arrangement comprising a terminal (T) of a user, a data supply component (0) for supplying user data objects which is set up for transmission of user data objects in accordance with an overall information profile object (RP) which specifies which type of user 30 data object can be transmitted to the terminal for processing, and a connection component (G) for transmitting user data objects from the data supply component to the terminal, characterized in that in the resulting profile information a first item of profile information (BP, OP1 , OP3) is further inserted which specifies which type of user data objects can be processed by the terminal, and the connection component is set up so as to detect, on the basis of the first profile, that for user data objects which are able to be processed by the terminal in accordance with the first profile information, no processing of the user data objects is required, an accordingly to forward the user data objects to the terminal (T) without processing them. Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the enclosed drawings. The Figures show : Figure 1 a block diagram with the components involved in the method for transmission of the user data objects, using characteristic profiles or user agent profiles of the different components provided in the transmission path, including the data flow between the components Figure 2 a table for identification or encoding of components provided in the data transmission path into the relevant characteristic profiles; Figure 3 a diagram of a characteristic profile in XML (XML: Extensible Markup Language) in accordance with the first embodiment; Figure 4 a diagram of a characteristic profile in XML in accordance with a second embodiment. Possible embodiments for transmission of user data objects from a data supply component to a telecommunication device, especially a Mobile telephone of the user (simply refereed to as a terminal below) will now to explained For the explanation of the preferred embodiments of the invention the starting point is a corresponding configuration o"f the telecommunication arrangement as has already been discussed with reference to Figure 1. A telecommunication arrangement of this type again includes a data supply component or a data server D to supply user data objects (be they encrypted or unencrypted, packed into a container file or not etc.),a connection component G for forwarding the data or user data objects and finally a telecommunication device or terminal T of a user. Again the starting point is that the terminal T is located in a first telecommunication network embodied as a mobile radio network, in which the data in general and especially user data objects are transmitted by means of a protocol specified by the WAP Forum (WAP: Wireless Application Protocol). It is further assumed that the data supply component of a data or content provider is located in a second telecommunication network which is embodied as a network based on an Internet protocol (such as http). As a connection device to establish a data connection between the first telecommunication network and the second telecommunication network the communication component which serves in the configuration described as what is referred to as an WAP gateway is provided. For notifying the characteristics, especially relating to processing of specific user data objects to the data supply component D, in accordance with the method shown in Figure 1, the characteristics are represented in characteristic profiles or "UA profiles" (UA: User Agent preofile) which are advatntagously based on the metalanguage XML (XML Extensible Markup Language)XML –based formats are particularly suitable for platform-and software-independent exchange of structured data between programs and computers or software and hardware oaponents .of different manufacturers and systems. A profile can describe a number of components (e.g. for software, hardware, ISf Push, etc.), where each component can contain a number of attributes and the associated values (in the hardware components for example possible attributes are screen size, color display capabilities etc.)- A basic structure of a profile is shown below, as has beeo defined by the WAP Forum for UA-Prof: Component _1 Attribute la = Valoe la Attribute » = Value Ib Component _2 Attribute 2a = Value 2a Attribute 2b = Value 2b Attribute 2c = Value 2c Attribute M = Value 2d This type of sab-division has a number of advantages. All components and attriietes cm be used flexibly, the structure can be expanded as required an also allows easy-to-understand presentation options. A method in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention now makes it passible on the server side, that is on the part of the data supply exponent, for a distinction to be made between the characteristics of the SRP-capable terminal here and the additional characteristics of the combination of the WAP-capable terminal and further oapooents present in the data transmission network such as the connection component (simply referred to below as WAP gateways). Using the KtJud shown in Figure 1 as a starting point, the Individual profile are UA profiles basic profile and a difference profile are identified as to there origin which also an. evaluation on the server side as to which conversion functionality of the WAP gateway or of a possible additional conversion server, present, for example in the second telecommunication network, can be used in the transmission or assignment of content (as regards user data objects) in a specific format and which can not. There are different options for identifying the reference of a profile all of a UA-Prof: a) in one of the simplest variants the identifier only distinguishes between "terminal" and "intermediate entity" (such as WAP gateways). To this end the profile can be provided with simple markings, with the marking of the profile type also being sufficient, e.g. the marking of the profile of intermediate entities (WAP gateways, conversion servers, etc.). The advantage of this variant is that changes are not absolutely required on the terminal side and also at the air interface. b) In a somewhat more complex variant each terminal or each component in the transmission path provides a separate profile with an individual, previously-agreed code (textual or binary) . For example binary code "2" means:" this profile originates from a WAP gateway ". A greater certainty compared to variant a) as to the source from which a profile originates is advantageous since each profile is to be identified here. In addition further differentiation can be obtained if, instead of a simple marking (Boolean expression) a larger set of values is used, enabling the categories MAP-capafale terminal", "WAP gateway", "WAP proxy" (as a further component in the transmission path) and further components to be distinguished. c) This variant builkds on variant b)but also container the information about whether further (difference,, profiles may .be transmitted by subsequent units or components in the transmission path. For specific applications it thus becomes possible to suppress the signaling of conversion options by the WAP gateway and other subsequent conversion units. The application of a method in accordance with an embodiment of the invention, for exanple on loading DRM (DRM: Digital Rights Management) protected objects and also for MMS (MMS: Multi Media Messaging Service) has the advantage that the data supply component or the data supply server can look at the characteristics of the WAP-capable terminal alone and only send the objects or user data objects suitable for it. Dnsuitable objects are recognized directly by the data supply component and not transmitted, so the user is not sent unusable objects by Mistake. If the data supply component is able to supply user data objects with the same content but different data types, an identification of characteristics in UA profiles, i.e. an assignment of characteristics to a specific component in the transmission path has the effect that the data supply component always selects for transmission with higher priority a user data object which can be used on the terminal side without conversion by an intermediate component in the transmission path such as the WAP gateway. Unnecessary data format conversions are thus avoided. To reiterate, in accordance with the embodiment presented, profiles and (after merging of profiles) profile components are identified in accordance with their origin and the server side distinction which this makes possible between characteristics of the WAP-capable terminal and additional characteristics of the overall system Consistin of the WAP capable terminal WAP gateway and possible further components on the transmission path which can change the convene co be transmitted. Bith the identification of the individual profiles i or UA-Profs the following questions can thus be resolved on a server side concerning the transmission unit (WAP-capable terminal, WAP gateway, intermediate conversion unit etc.) from which the corresponding profile originates. The server at the end of the transmission chain is intended to take this additional information into account in selecting between different available file types and formats. In addition a unit has the opportunity of suppressing further appending of difference profiles it necessary. At this poiat it staid be pointed out once again that the method described herein is not restricted to the embodiments given as examples here, bat can also be applied to other WAP-based applications. The advantages of the principles depicted above with regard to a method for transussioa of user data objects using profiles or UA-Profs, especially i» connection with the delivery of protected objects, the delivery of aultimedia messages in the Multimedia Messaging Service aid for browsing on the basis of the protocols specif ied ia the •» Fon» will now be presented in detail. In accordamce with the following example it is assumed that a WAP-capable terminal which cannot display still images is however expanded bf a plmm-im hardware Module to provide this function so that it cam also display still images in the "jpeg" format. As already explained abate, the terminal is connected to the Internet via a WAP tptenf kk is further able to convert still images from the "gif" fenat irto the "jpeg" format. The difference between the Method described here thathe methods describe at the beginning the reference to Figure 1 now lies in the fact that the profiles can be identified as regards their origin, This means that, in addition to the capabilities of the corresponding terminals or transmission units, the information about the terminal or the transmission unit such as the WAP gateway from which the relevant difference profile originates is included. These expanded profiles are indicated below by an asterisk. Otherwise the transmission and processing of the relevant profiles proceeds as already described with reference to Figure 1 which is why, for the explanation of the individual steps regarding the profiles expanded by an asterisk in the following text, reference is made to the explanation of the profile without the asterisk. Referring to Figure 1 the WAP-capable terminal T, as well as its basic profile BP* also transmits the difference profile DP3* (cf. step 5) , which describes the additional capabilities provided by the a hardware module plugged in at the WAP gateway G. As well as the two profiles of the WAP-capable terminal (basic profile BP* and difference profile DP3} this also sends its own difference profile DP2 to the data supply component D (like the scenario depicted in Figure I). This means that the last element in the transmission chain or the transmission path (here the data supply component D) has knowledge when determining the resulting profile RP* (corresponding to the overall profile) about which capabilities the WAP-capable terminal (expanded with the module) possesses, namely here the display of still images in the "jpeg" data format, and which capabilities are to be assigned to an intermediate transmission unit, namely the conversion of still images in the "gif" data format into the "jpeg" data format by the WAP gateway. The semantics of the identification will be examined below of the variant describe above for identified the profile variant c) will be used below, in which on the one hand the function of the unit described in the profile (WAP-capable terminal, WAP gateway, etc.) will be identified and on the other hand there will all be an indication of whether further profiles of subsequent units of the transmission chain may be added. Figure 2 shows a table in accordance with an advantageous embodiment of a binary encoding for identification of profiles. In accordance with this table a WAP-capable terminal can send its basic profile either with the binary identifier "-1" or "0" and thereby allow or prevent the other transmission units in the transmission chain from transmitting their difference profiles. The next element in the transmission chain (WAP-capable terminal with add-on module, WAP gateway, possibly WAP proxy or conversion server, etc) which would like to a supplement a difference profile, first evaluates the basic profile of the WAP-capable terminal. If supplementing of difference profiles is allowed, it can now transfer its own difference profile with a corresponding identification in accordance with the table shown in Figure 2. In this way it would be possible for the last element in the transmission chain (i.e. the server) to distinguish between the various (difference) profiles. Independently of this each terminal or each transmission unit can additionally sequentially number its profile. In this case the data supply component D would even receive information about the sequence of the network elements involved in the transmission of the data The syntax of the identification will be examined below. Different options for identifying a profile will now be examined quite generally. The examination will no longer differentiate between basic profile and difference profile (s) , In the identification the semantics described above in accordance with the table shown in Figure 2 should preferably be used, but any other previously agreed semantics are also conceivable however. Possible alternative embodiment options for identifying a profile are as follows: I. The transmission profile is prefixed by a new header field in the corresponding session layer (HTTP or WSP) . The two Session Layer protocols used here HTTP and WSP (WSP: Wireless Session Protocol) allow in accordance with [8] and [9] the definition of new header fields and use the textual formats described in [10] when doing so, in accordance with which a header field consists of a field name (mandatory) and a field value (optional) . So that not too much data has to be transmitted over the air interface WSP, [9] recommends binary encoding for frequently used ("well-known") "header fields. Thus for example from a field/attribute "X-Mms-Transmitter-Visibility: Show" (29 Bytes) the short form "93 11" in hexadecimal encoding (two bytes) is produced. In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention the introduction of new header fields is proposed for identification of profiles which should also be based on the format described in [10] . The field name of the new header field for the two profiles described here HTTP and WSP could be called "x-wap-profile-source" for example. The presentation below shows the textually encoded header field "x-wap-profile-source" on the left with a textually encoded field value on the right with a binary-encoded (decimal) field value: x-wap-profile-source: WAP gateway; x-wap-profile-source: 2 2.The tagging undertaken direrctly in the HTTP or WSP by an additional parameter- T.ai~ means that in principle the same information encoding as in the approach described under 1, is possible. To this end for example the definition of the header field "x-wap-profile" is expanded by a parameter or which allows the server-side assignment to a unit in the system. 3. The profile is expanded by a new XML attribute. As already explained above, all profiles are advantageously described for a WAP UA-Prof.-based on XML. Self-contained information blocks or individual information is delimited within a profile by what are known as tags. Most of these tags occur in pairs in XML applications as start and end commands and specify the meaning of the text enclosed within them. This text can in its turn be subdivided by further tags for example to allow lists of parameters for an attribute. The parameters of the individual tags are called attributes. They are always enclosed within quotation marks (" Figure 3 shows the use of the newly defined XML attributes "Source" (highlighted in bold; entire new element enclosed by double arrows) which allow a profile (or an individual profile component) to be identified by a terminal or by a transmission unit. When a new XML attribute is used the associated new XML "name space" must be referenced in the corresponding profile, identified in this example by "prf2". The value of this source attribute is encoded textually in Figure 3 (WAP GW or WAP Gateway) . Also conceivable is a binary encoding of the attribute value in accordance with the table in Figure 2 (e.g. "WAP Gateway" = "2") If one also wishes to implemnent a consecutive numbering of tprofile (as described above) with and of XML the following to option are a vailable for this purpose f parameters with different meanings. Figure 4 shows an example of this in which the attribute value of "source" consists of a list of two parameters, with the bracketing mechanism of attribute values described in the introduction being implemented: Within the attribute "Source", "Bag" signals that a number of attribute values follow (in accordance with the invention and new components are again enclosed within two brackets) . The expansion "Seq" in the brackets means that the sequence of the parameters in the list is of significance. By definition parameter 1 for example could stand for consecutive numbering and parameter 2 for the identification of the profile by a terminal or a further component in the transmission path (e.g. a network unit) , preferably by the code defined in the table in Figure 2. In addition to the textual encoding of UA-Profs or UA profiles shown here [7] also allows a binary method of representation in which all textual attributes are assigned what are known as binary tokens. Naturally the principles described above could also be expressed in a binary encoded UA-Prof. A method described above for the transmission of user data objects using attribute profiles or UA-Profs can also be applied for the transmission of DRM-protected objects. If, in this case, in the embodiment of the telecommunication arrangement described above or the profile transmission and processing of the relevant components Of a telecommunication arrangement of the WAP – capable terminal T of fig.1) DRM protect data is requested follow is as illustrated below. 1. The WAP-capable terminal (T) sends a data request initially to the WAP gateway (G). This contains a basic profile BP* (let reference again be made to Figure 1 for the following explanations) and the difference profile DP3* for description of the add-on module. Both profiles are identified by the new information described above to indicate that they can be assigned to the WAP-capable terminal (T). 2. The WAP gateway (G) receives the data request and forwards it to the data supply component (D) . In doing so it supplements the data request by the difference profile DP2* which according to the new identification can be assigned to the WAP gateway. 3. The data supply component (D) receives the data request, evaluates the profile information and detects that the requested image can be used by the terminal (T) itself in the "jpeg" format and that the WAP gateway (G) can convert images from "gif" format into if format suitable for the terminal (this only means "jpeg" here) . If the object or the user data object (the image) is now to be transmitted in DRM-protected form, it must initially be packed or encrypted into another data format (e.g. "application/vnd.wap.drm.message or application/vnd.wap.drm.content") which would make it inaccessible for the WAP gateway (G) . The data supply component (D) thus decides to pack the object in the "jpeg" format into the DRM format so that processing of the object by the WAP gateway is not necessary. The data supply component (D) sends the object or user data object to the WAP gateway in the format described. 4. The WAP gateway received the object that to processing of the object or an action by the WAP gateway G is essary and transmits it to the terminal (T) , 5, The terminal receives the object, unpacks it and can use it. Without the procedure described above in accordance with an embodiment of the invention the same process would appear as follows: 1. The WAP-capable terminal (T) sends a data request initially to the WAP gateway (G) . This contains the basic profile BP and the difference profile DP3 for description of the supplementary module (again of. Figure 1) . 2. The WAP gateway (G) receives the data request and forwards it, supplemented by the difference profile DP2, to the data supply component (D). 3. The data supply component (D) receives the data request, evaluates the profile information and recognizes that the requested data or the requested image can be used by the combination of terminal (T) and WAP gateway (G) in "jpeg format" and in "gif format". The object is to be transmitted in DRM-protected form and to this end must first be packed into another data format (application/vnd. wap. drm. message or application/vnd. wap . drm. content) which makes it inaccessible to the WAP gateway. The data supply component of (D) may possibly decide to pack the object in the "gif" format into the DRM format, and sends the object to the WAP gateway (G) in the format described. 4. The WAP gateway (G) receives the object, recognizes that it cannot process the object since it does not recognize the data format enclosing it or cannot process this format does not change the object and transmits it to the terminwl 5. The terminal (T) receives the object, unpacks it from the enclosing data format and can however not use it.

A telecommunication System for transmission of user data objects from a data supply component to the user in accordance with a resulting profile information
The present invention relates to a telecommunication System for transmission of user data objects from a data supply component to the user in accordance with a resulting profile information in a telecommunication network.
A system for transmission or downloading of user data objects from a data supply component onto a telecommunication device, especially designed as a mobile radio device, is currently being discussed. The starting point for such discussions is that the telecommunication device is located in a telecommunication network designed as a mobile radio network, in which data generally and user data objects in particular are transmitted by means of a protocol specified by the WAP Forum (WAP: Wireless Application Protocol). It is further assumed that the data supply component of a data or content supplier is located in a further telecommunication network which is especially embodied as an Internet Protocol-based network. To establish a data connection between the data supply component and the telecommunication device (at least) two different sub-interfaces are thus needed, namely an air interface on the one hand and a cable-based interface. There is provision for WAP protocols to be used, as already mentioned, for bridging the air interface. By contrast, in the telecommunication network of the data supply component (HTTP (HTTP: Hypertext Transfer Protocol) is used. Thus,

Since different protocols are used on the interface and the network side, there is oricusuiib for a connaection component to beused, in this instance what is known as a WAP gateway, which adapts the user data to the various lower layers (air interface e.g. WSP (Wireless Session Protocol) as a WAP; network side: HTTP). This type of WAP gateway is generally also capable of converting data types or formats (e.g. translating the file format "gif" into "jpeg", for files of type image or still image).
Telecommunication devices such as mobile radio devices or mobile phones generally differ from each other in their characteristic features or capabilities. Thus for example the characteristics of the display devices differ greatly in some cases (e.g. in size and resolution) and thereby also their capabilities to be able to display or process specific file types or file formats. So that a data supply component or a data supply server in a network can obtain knowledge about the characteristics or capabilities of a WAP-capable telecommunication device of a user, the WAP Forum has standardized what is known as the UA-Prof (UA-Prof: User Agent Profile) [7], with the aid of which the characteristics of a WAP-capable telecommunication device can be made known on the network side (i.e. in the network of the data supply component). The method also takes into account the capabilities of a WAP gateway which handles the data transferred between telecommunication device and data supply component and can also modify said data. On the network side the provision of suitable data by a server also means that the characteristics of the WAP gateway are relevant.
A description is given below, with reference to Figure ,I for a general case of how a data supply component D receives the current UA-Prof of a WAP-capable telecommunication device T. Initially, on

Registration of the WAP- capable telecommunication device T or the setting up of a WSp connection, What is known a s a basic profile BP
or basic profile information is transferred to the WAP gateway G. If the characteristics or capabilities of the telecommunication device T have been changed or expanded by an additionally-connected line component, such as an additional hardware component (e.g. color display), an additional difference profile DPI or first difference profile information is sent with the basic profile as a first sub-profile information object to the WAP gateway G, as is depicted by step 1 ("1" in the circle). Both profiles, namely BP and DPI, can if necessary be buffered and evaluated by WAP gateway G, cf. step 2. WAP gateway G can now for its part supplement the received profiles BP and DPI by a separate difference profile DP2 or second difference profile information. This is advantageous when the WAP gateway G has particular characteristics or capabilities which differ from those of the BP and DPI profiles sent beforehand by the WAP-capable telecommunication device T or which supplement these profiles. All (three) profiles are then transmitted in step 3 as a second sub-profile information object to the data supply component D. The data supply component D creates on the basis of all transferred profiles (BP, DPI and DP2) a resulting overall profile or overall profile object RP for the WAP-capable telecommunication device T, as should be indicated by step 4. The resulting profile RP, containing the individual characteristics of the WAP-capable telecommunication device T and the supplementary capabilities of the WAP gateway G and possibly of other network units, is the current UA-Prof and will be administered by the data supply component D.
During a WSP session the downloading of any data, especially user data objects, can be initiated by a WAP-capable telecommunication

Device T by sending a data request message. Should the characteristics ore capabilities of the WAp-capable telecommunication
device have changed in the interim (i,e. after a WSP connection was first established) , for example through connection of another additional hardware component, in or together with a data request message issued, a current adapted difference profile DPS or a third difference profile information are transmitted in a first sub-profile information object to the WAP gateway G in step 5 and if necessary evaluated there according to step 6. The remaining transmission of the basic profile BP and the difference profiles DP3 and DP2 in a second sub-profile information object between WAP gateway G and data supply component D in accordance with step 7 and the creation of the resulting profile in accordance with step 8 are undertaken in a similar way to the method described above. If the characteristics or capabilities of the WAP-capable telecommunication device have not changed after the first setup of the WSP connection, for a data request message issued, the method refers back to the profile previously transferred and buffered in WAP gateway G (cf. step 2) or at the data supply component (cf. step 4).
The principle for generating the resulting profile is very elegant, the resulting profile or overall profile namely being generated from the basic profile and any number of difference profiles.
The basic assumption is further made for the use and definition of the UA-Prof that a WAP gateway recognizes and suitably handles the data types transmitted to the WAP-capable telecommunication device, i.e. changes or converts them if necessary on the path from the data supply component to the telecommunication device. A typical example of this is the conversion of an image.

Assuming that the telecommunication device can only display images or the Jpeg or format and that the data supply component transmits a "gif'-type image, the WAP gateway can convert the image in accordance with its capabilities from type "gif" to type or format "jpeg" and pass the converted image on to the telecommunication device on which it can then be processed or displayed.
This method is accordingly supported by UA-Profs, in that the WAP-capable telecomnunication device initially specifies in its basic profile BP the ability to process or display images of type "jpeg". The WAP gateway detects this specification, knows that it is capable itself of converting images of type "gif" into type "jpeg" and therefore specifies in difference profile DP2 that images of type "gif" will also be supported. On the data supply component side the resulting overall profile RP is generated. The data supply component can however now no longer distinguish between the original capabilities of the telecommunication device and the additional capabilities of the overall system of WAP-capable telecommunication device and BAP gateway. In this example the server-side transmission (i.e. transmission on the data supply component side) of an image of type "gif" is now possible, with the gateway undertaking the corresponding conversion.
Problems can however arise when the file types requiring conversion by the WAP gateway are enclosed (packed) into another data format which cannot be suitably handled by the WAP gateway. There are two main examples which illustrate this situation:
1. Digital Bights Management (DRM) : The solution currently specified in the WAP Form for managing rights of protected digital objects is based on the fact that the object is transported in a container file

or in a container, which, for unencrypted objects is of type "application/vnd.wap.drm.message" and for encrypted objects is of type "application/vnd. wap . drm. content" . With unencrypted objects there is theoretically the option for a WAP gateway to access the enclosed object and to change it, but there is no explicit provision for this to be done. With encrypted objects the WAP gateway has no possibility of accessing the object since it does not have the key and the data therefore only appears as a binary packet. Even when the enclosed object is an image of the type known to the WAP gateway which could accordingly be converted into another type, this is not possible in the case described. The enclosed object would be passed on unchanged by the WAP gateway to the telecommunication device on which it would not be able to be displayed.
2. Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) : In the MMS the message is transmitted in the form of a Multimedia Message (MM) from a so-called MMS-Relay/Server (which serves as an MMS switching unit in a network) to an MMS Client, a specific application on the WAP-capable telecommunication device. In the solution specified by the WAP Forum the MM is a message with binary codes for presentation of the header fields which are not known to the WAP gateway. The messages are of type "application/vnd.wap.mms-message" and contain the objects to be transferred. The WAP gateway in its turn has the opportunity of extracting the objects from the message and adapting them to the features of the receiving telecommunication device. If an object of a specific type, requiring conversion by the WAP gateway, is integrated into the MMS message by the MMS Relay Server, the WAP gateway cannot however perform its task, meaning that the object arrives at the telecommunication device unchanged and cannot be used there.

Furthermore the that formation of an overall profile a s has been described above, makes it no longer possible to distinguish been described above, makes it no ionyer possible -to d.i.s tiuguj.sh between how the integral components of the characteristics of the telecommunication device (possibly with additional hardware components) and the additional characteristics of the system made up of telecommunication device and WAP gateway can also have a negative effect, if for example an object can be offered in different formats by the data supply component, of which some require a conversion by ; the WAP gateway to enable them to be processed by the telecommunication device, and others can be forwarded unchanged from the WAP gateway to the telecommunication device. Here the server-side (i.e. from the data supply component) selection of a format which requires no conversion by the WAP gateway is advantageous since a conversion can lower the quality of the object, additional time is needed for downloading the object for conversion, computing power is required in the WAP gateway and the user can incur additional costs, depending on the billing model.
The object of the present invention is now to improve a method such as has been described with reference to Figure 1 for example such that a more efficient transmission of user data objects, particularly of encrypted or packed user data objects, is made possible.
This object is achieved by the features of the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments are the object of the subclaims .
For a method for the transmission of user data objects a data supply component to supply user data objects is provided which transmits information objects over one or at least one connection component to a telecommunication device of a user in accordance with an overall profile information object. The overall profile information object

specifies in this case which type of a user data object can be transmitted to the telecommunication device so that it can process the object, ln addition a first item of profile information is inserted into the overall profile information object which specifies which type of user data object can be directly processed by the telecommunicaticB dwice. Furthermore a second item of profile information can be inserted which specifies which type of user data object can be converted by the connection component into a type of user data object rfiidj can be processed by a telecommunication device, this profile information, especially the first profile information, ttas allae the data supply component where possible to select the types of user data object for a transmission to the telecommunicatM devke which can be directly processed by the telecomm«nicati« device and do not require any manipulation or conversion on the put of the connection component to enable them to be processed bf tie telemaannication device .
Consequently, ia accoriance with an advantageous embodiment, user data objects of a type in accordance with the first profile information are transited fron the data supply component to the telecommunicatMB device initially with high priority. This means that a check is »dc as to whether the data supply component is supplying user drta objects able to be processed directly by the telecommuBicatMBdwke. If the check is successful these types of user data objects are finally transmitted to the telecommunication device. Referraf t» tte exaaple given above, in which the telecommimicatioi dntke is able to process image data of type "jpeg", the cnaecticB cnponent is able to convert image data of type "gift iRtotjpe "jpeg and finally the data supply component provides i«age dtta of type *jpeg" and "gif", the data supply component, since it recognizes from the first item of profile

Information tha the telecommunication device can process data of a type “jpeg” immediately transmits this type of image data of type "jpeg" to the telecommunication device as user data objects. On the one hand this requires no conversion of image data by the connection component (possible conversion costs can be saved and the transmission time also reduced without conversion) and packing or encryption of user data objects is possible since the data supply component only transmits to the telecommunication device user data objects for which it knows, on the basis of the first profile information, that the device can process the user data object.
If the check as to whether the data supply component is supplying user data objects which can be processed directly by the telecommunication device produces a negative result, then in accordance with a further embodiment of the invention user data objects of a type in accordance with the second profile information are transmitted at a lower priority than before from the data supply component to the telecommunication device.
In accordance with a further advantageous embodiment the telecommunication device transmits, before the transmission of user data objects from the data supply component to telecommunication device, a first sub profile information object with the first prove our information to the connection component, which for its part supplements the first sub prefer our information object by the second profile information to form a second sub profile information object and transfers this to the data supply component. There, on the basis qf_the second sub-profile information object or all profile information transferred, an overall resulting profile information object can be created.
It is further conceivable for the telecommunication device to be expanded by an additional service component which enables it to

Extend the scope of the user data objects able to be processed by the telecommunicatiomn device this type of ser vice component can for
example te an additional hardware component, such as a specific color display device with high resolution for displaying high-resolutioB Mid color iiiages or graphics and also an additional software cnponent or software application, for example for processing ami playing music data in the MP3 format. This type of service opponent can then be in a position to process types of user data objects which the telecommunication device can already process, but it cm also be a position to process further types of user data object which tie telecoanunication device itself cannot process. As a conseqaace the first sub-profile information object can then be supplemental by a third item of profile information which specifies the types of user data object by which the scope of the user data objects of the teleco»wnication device is expanded by the a dd i t i oral service component.
To miniaia the volumes of data to be transferred between the telecoiMMBcation device and the connection component (especially if an air interface between them is provided) and/or between the connectionCD^Jonent and the data supply component, it is also conceivable, in accordance with an advantageous embodiment, to provide tie profile information in the first and/or the second sub-profile ufonation object in the form of a reference, which points to profile information in each case which is stored on the data supply cofeMBt or OB a further data supply component connected to it. This Haas that just addresses, for example a URL (URL: Uniform Resource loator) can be provided in a sub-profile information object whick reference a storage location in the data supply component or other data supply components, for example of the

Manufacturere sof the the telecommunication device of the additional sevicde component data the supply component only ha s to the
address when creating the overall profile object in order to obtain the corresponding profile information and insert it into the overall profile object.
In accordance with a further advantageous embodiment the telecommunication device is located in the first telecommunication network and the data supply component and/or the further data supply component in a second telecommunication network, with the first and the second telecommunication network being connected to each other. The connection component can then be arranged in the first or the second telecommunication network or especially serve to interconnect the two telecommunication networks. In the case of a number of connection components the connection components can then finally be arranged in the locations just specified (e.g. as will be explained later, a communication component can serve as a WAP gateway for connecting the two telecommunication networks while one or more other communication components can be provided for example as conversion units of data or user data objects in one of the specified telecommunication networks) . In this case it is possible for the first telecommunication network to be embodied as a mobile radio network, which is operated in accordance with the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) or the UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications system) Standard. For this type of embodiment of a first telecommunication network the user data objects can be transmitted to the telecommunication device by means of WAP protocols, especially the Wireless Session Protocol. In this context the connection component can be embodied to connect the first and the second telecommunication network as a WAP gateway. It is further conceivable for the second telecommunication network to be embodied as a network based on an Internet protocol, in which the data is transferred especially by means of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol.

In accordance with an advantageous embodiment the telecommunication device includes a radio module and is in particular embodies as a mobile telephone, a cordless telephone, a portable computer or a smartphone (a combination of mobile telephone and small portable computer).
In accordance with a further advantageous embodiment the user data objects can contain text information, audio information, video information, executable programs, software modules, or a combination of these types of data.
According to the present invention, a telecommunication System for transmission of user data objects from a data supply component to the user in accordance with a resulting profile information comprises a telecommunication network having a telecommunication device, a data supply component located in the said telecommunication network, for supplying user data objects to be transmitted, a connection component (C) provided for transmitting user data objects from the data supply component in accordance with overall profile information objects a uniform resource locator provided with reference to a storage location in the data supply component and a second telecommunication network or user device T connected to the said connector wherein the said connection component is set up so as to detect on the basis of first profile data to be processed by the terminal in accordance with the profile information and forwarding user data objects to the terminal without processing them.
According to the present invention, telecommunications arrangement comprising a terminal (T) of a user, a data supply component (0) for supplying user data objects which is set up for transmission of user data objects in accordance with an overall information profile object (RP*) which specifies which type of user 30 data object can be transmitted to the terminal for processing, and a connection component (G) for transmitting user data objects from the data supply component to the terminal, characterized in that in the resulting profile information a first item of profile information (BP*, OP1 *, OP3*) is further inserted which specifies which type of user data objects can be processed by the terminal, and the connection component is set up so as to detect, on the basis of the first profile, that for user data objects which are able to be

processed by the terminal in accordance with the first profile information, no processing of the
user data objects is required, an accordingly to forward the user data objects to the terminal (T) without processing them.
Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the enclosed drawings. The Figures show :

transmission of the user data objects, using characteristic profiles or user agent profiles of the different components provided in the transmission path, including the data flow between the components

Possible embodiments for transmission of user data objects from a data supply component to a telecommunication device, especially a

Mobile telephone of the user (simply refereed to as a terminal below) will now to explained
For the explanation of the preferred embodiments of the invention the starting point is a corresponding configuration o"f the telecommunication arrangement as has already been discussed with reference to Figure 1. A telecommunication arrangement of this type again includes a data supply component or a data server D to supply user data objects (be they encrypted or unencrypted, packed into a container file or not etc.),a connection component G for forwarding the data or user data objects and finally a telecommunication device or terminal T of a user. Again the starting point is that the terminal T is located in a first telecommunication network embodied as a mobile radio network, in which the data in general and especially user data objects are transmitted by means of a protocol specified by the WAP Forum (WAP: Wireless Application Protocol). It is further assumed that the data supply component of a data or content provider is located in a second telecommunication network which is embodied as a network based on an Internet protocol (such as http). As a connection device to establish a data connection between the first telecommunication network and the second telecommunication network the communication component which serves in the configuration described as what is referred to as an WAP gateway is provided.
For notifying the characteristics, especially relating to processing of specific user data objects to the data supply component D, in accordance with the method shown in Figure 1, the characteristics are represented in characteristic profiles or "UA profiles" (UA: User

Agent preofile) which are advatntagously based on the metalanguage XML (XML Extensible Markup Language)XML –based formats are
particularly suitable for platform-and software-independent exchange of structured data between programs and computers or software and hardware oaponents .of different manufacturers and systems.
A profile can describe a number of components (e.g. for software, hardware, ISf Push, etc.), where each component can contain a number of attributes and the associated values (in the hardware components for example possible attributes are screen size, color display capabilities etc.)- A basic structure of a profile is shown below, as has beeo defined by the WAP Forum for UA-Prof:
Component _1 Attribute la = Valoe la Attribute » = Value Ib Component _2 Attribute 2a = Value 2a Attribute 2b = Value 2b Attribute 2c = Value 2c Attribute M = Value 2d
This type of sab-division has a number of advantages. All components and attriietes cm be used flexibly, the structure can be expanded as required an* also allows easy-to-understand presentation options.
A method in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention now makes it passible on the server side, that is on the part of the data supply exponent, for a distinction to be made between the characteristics of the SRP-capable terminal here and the additional characteristics of the combination of the WAP-capable terminal and further oapooents present in the data transmission network such as the connection component (simply referred to below as WAP gateways). Using the KtJud shown in Figure 1 as a starting point, the

Individual profile are UA profiles basic profile and a difference profile are identified as to there origin which also an. evaluation on the server side as to which conversion functionality of the WAP gateway or of a possible additional conversion server, present, for example in the second telecommunication network, can be used in the transmission or assignment of content (as regards user data objects) in a specific format and which can not.
There are different options for identifying the reference of a profile all of a UA-Prof:
a) in one of the simplest variants the identifier only distinguishes between "terminal" and "intermediate entity" (such as WAP gateways). To this end the profile can be provided with simple markings, with the marking of the profile type also being sufficient, e.g. the marking of the profile of intermediate entities (WAP gateways, conversion servers, etc.). The advantage of this variant is that changes are not absolutely required on the terminal side and also at the air interface.
b) In a somewhat more complex variant each terminal or each component in the transmission path provides a separate profile with an individual, previously-agreed code (textual or binary) . For example binary code "2" means:" this profile originates from a WAP gateway ". A greater certainty compared to variant a) as to the source from which a profile originates is advantageous since each profile is to be identified here. In addition further differentiation can be obtained if, instead of a simple marking (Boolean expression) a larger set of values is used, enabling the categories *MAP-capafale terminal", "WAP gateway", "WAP proxy" (as a further component in the transmission path) and further components to be distinguished.

c) This variant builkds on variant b)but also container the information about whether further (difference,, profiles may .be transmitted by subsequent units or components in the transmission path. For specific applications it thus becomes possible to suppress the signaling of conversion options by the WAP gateway and other subsequent conversion units.
The application of a method in accordance with an embodiment of the invention, for exanple on loading DRM (DRM: Digital Rights Management) protected objects and also for MMS (MMS: Multi Media Messaging Service) has the advantage that the data supply component or the data supply server can look at the characteristics of the WAP-capable terminal alone and only send the objects or user data objects suitable for it. Dnsuitable objects are recognized directly by the data supply component and not transmitted, so the user is not sent unusable objects by Mistake.
If the data supply component is able to supply user data objects with the same content but different data types, an identification of characteristics in UA profiles, i.e. an assignment of characteristics to a specific component in the transmission path has the effect that the data supply component always selects for transmission with higher priority a user data object which can be used on the terminal side without conversion by an intermediate component in the transmission path such as the WAP gateway. Unnecessary data format conversions are thus avoided.
To reiterate, in accordance with the embodiment presented, profiles and (after merging of profiles) profile components are identified in accordance with their origin and the server side distinction which this makes possible between characteristics of the WAP-capable terminal and additional characteristics of the overall system

Consistin of the WAP capable terminal WAP gateway and possible further
components on the transmission path which can change the convene co be transmitted. Bith the identification of the individual profiles
i
or UA-Profs the following questions can thus be resolved on a server side concerning the transmission unit (WAP-capable terminal, WAP gateway, intermediate conversion unit etc.) from which the corresponding profile originates. The server at the end of the transmission chain is intended to take this additional information into account in selecting between different available file types and formats. In addition a unit has the opportunity of suppressing further appending of difference profiles it necessary.
At this poiat it staid be pointed out once again that the method described herein is not restricted to the embodiments given as examples here, bat can also be applied to other WAP-based applications.
The advantages of the principles depicted above with regard to a method for transussioa of user data objects using profiles or UA-Profs, especially i» connection with the delivery of protected objects, the delivery of aultimedia messages in the Multimedia Messaging Service aid for browsing on the basis of the protocols specif ied ia the •» Fon» will now be presented in detail.
In accordamce with the following example it is assumed that a WAP-capable terminal which cannot display still images is however expanded bf a plmm-im hardware Module to provide this function so that it cam also display still images in the "jpeg" format. As already explained abate, the terminal is connected to the Internet via a WAP tptenf *kk is further able to convert still images from the "gif" fenat irto the "jpeg" format. The difference between the

Method described here thathe methods describe at the beginning the reference to Figure 1 now lies in the fact that the profiles can be identified as regards their origin, This means that, in addition to the capabilities of the corresponding terminals or transmission units, the information about the terminal or the transmission unit such as the WAP gateway from which the relevant difference profile originates is included. These expanded profiles are indicated below by an asterisk. Otherwise the transmission and processing of the relevant profiles proceeds as already described with reference to Figure 1 which is why, for the explanation of the individual steps regarding the profiles expanded by an asterisk in the following text, reference is made to the explanation of the profile without the asterisk.
Referring to Figure 1 the WAP-capable terminal T, as well as its basic profile BP* also transmits the difference profile DP3* (cf. step 5) , which describes the additional capabilities provided by the a hardware module plugged in at the WAP gateway G. As well as the two profiles of the WAP-capable terminal (basic profile BP* and difference profile DP3*} this also sends its own difference profile DP2* to the data supply component D (like the scenario depicted in Figure I).
This means that the last element in the transmission chain or the transmission path (here the data supply component D) has knowledge when determining the resulting profile RP* (corresponding to the overall profile) about which capabilities the WAP-capable terminal (expanded with the module) possesses, namely here the display of still images in the "jpeg" data format, and which capabilities are to be assigned to an intermediate transmission unit, namely the conversion of still images in the "gif" data format into the "jpeg" data format by the WAP gateway.

The semantics of the identification will be examined below of the variant describe above for identified the profile variant c) will be used below, in which on the one hand the function of the unit described in the profile (WAP-capable terminal, WAP gateway, etc.) will be identified and on the other hand there will all be an indication of whether further profiles of subsequent units of the transmission chain may be added.
Figure 2 shows a table in accordance with an advantageous embodiment of a binary encoding for identification of profiles. In accordance with this table a WAP-capable terminal can send its basic profile either with the binary identifier "-1" or "0" and thereby allow or prevent the other transmission units in the transmission chain from transmitting their difference profiles. The next element in the transmission chain (WAP-capable terminal with add-on module, WAP gateway, possibly WAP proxy or conversion server, etc) which would like to a supplement a difference profile, first evaluates the basic profile of the WAP-capable terminal. If supplementing of difference profiles is allowed, it can now transfer its own difference profile with a corresponding identification in accordance with the table shown in Figure 2. In this way it would be possible for the last element in the transmission chain (i.e. the server) to distinguish between the various (difference) profiles.
Independently of this each terminal or each transmission unit can additionally sequentially number its profile. In this case the data supply component D would even receive information about the sequence of the network elements involved in the transmission of the data
The syntax of the identification will be examined below. Different options for identifying a profile will now be examined quite generally. The examination will no longer differentiate between

basic profile and difference profile (s) , In the identification the semantics described above in accordance with the table shown in Figure 2 should preferably be used, but any other previously agreed semantics are also conceivable however.
Possible alternative embodiment options for identifying a profile are as follows:
I. The transmission profile is prefixed by a new header field in the corresponding session layer (HTTP or WSP) . The two Session Layer protocols used here HTTP and WSP (WSP: Wireless Session Protocol) allow in accordance with [8] and [9] the definition of new header fields and use the textual formats described in [10] when doing so, in accordance with which a header field consists of a field name (mandatory) and a field value (optional) . So that not too much data has to be transmitted over the air interface WSP, [9] recommends binary encoding for frequently used ("well-known") "header fields. Thus for example from a field/attribute "X-Mms-Transmitter-Visibility: Show" (29 Bytes) the short form "93 11" in hexadecimal encoding (two bytes) is produced.
In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the invention the introduction of new header fields is proposed for identification of profiles which should also be based on the format described in [10] . The field name of the new header field for the two profiles described here HTTP and WSP could be called "x-wap-profile-source" for example.
The presentation below shows the textually encoded header field "x-wap-profile-source" on the left with a textually encoded field value on the right with a binary-encoded (decimal) field value:
x-wap-profile-source: WAP gateway; x-wap-profile-source: 2

2.The tagging undertaken direrctly in the HTTP or WSP by an
additional parameter- T.ai~ means that in principle the same information encoding as in the approach described under 1, is possible. To this end for example the definition of the header field "x-wap-profile" is expanded by a parameter or which allows the server-side assignment to a unit in the system.
3. The profile is expanded by a new XML attribute. As already explained above, all profiles are advantageously described for a WAP UA-Prof.-based on XML. Self-contained information blocks or individual information is delimited within a profile by what are known as tags. Most of these tags occur in pairs in XML applications as start and end commands and specify the meaning of the text enclosed within them. This text can in its turn be subdivided by further tags for example to allow lists of parameters for an attribute. The parameters of the individual tags are called attributes. They are always enclosed within quotation marks (" Figure 3 shows the use of the newly defined XML attributes "Source" (highlighted in bold; entire new element enclosed by double arrows) which allow a profile (or an individual profile component) to be identified by a terminal or by a transmission unit. When a new XML attribute is used the associated new XML "name space" must be referenced in the corresponding profile, identified in this example by "prf2". The value of this source attribute is encoded textually in Figure 3 (WAP GW or WAP Gateway) . Also conceivable is a binary encoding of the attribute value in accordance with the table in Figure 2 (e.g. "WAP Gateway" = "2")

If one also wishes to implemnent a consecutive numbering of tprofile (as described above) with and of XML the following to option are a vailable for this purpose f parameters with different meanings. Figure 4 shows an example of this in which the attribute value of "source" consists of a list of two parameters, with the bracketing mechanism of attribute values described in the introduction being implemented: Within the attribute "Source", "Bag" signals that a number of attribute values follow (in accordance with the invention and new components are again enclosed within two brackets) . The expansion "Seq" in the brackets means that the sequence of the parameters in the list is of significance. By definition parameter 1 for example could stand for consecutive numbering and parameter 2 for the identification of the profile by a terminal or a further component in the transmission path (e.g. a network unit) , preferably by the code defined in the table in Figure 2.
In addition to the textual encoding of UA-Profs or UA profiles shown here [7] also allows a binary method of representation in which all textual attributes are assigned what are known as binary tokens. Naturally the principles described above could also be expressed in a binary encoded UA-Prof.
A method described above for the transmission of user data objects using attribute profiles or UA-Profs can also be applied for the transmission of DRM-protected objects. If, in this case, in the embodiment of the telecommunication arrangement described above or the profile transmission and processing of the relevant components

Of a telecommunication arrangement of the WAP – capable terminal T of fig.1) DRM protect data is requested follow is as illustrated below.

1. The WAP-capable terminal (T) sends a data request initially to the WAP gateway (G). This contains a basic profile BP* (let reference again be made to Figure 1 for the following explanations) and the difference profile DP3* for description of the add-on module. Both profiles are identified by the new information described above to indicate that they can be assigned to the WAP-capable terminal (T).
2. The WAP gateway (G) receives the data request and forwards it to
the data supply component (D) . In doing so it supplements the data
request by the difference profile DP2* which according to the new
identification can be assigned to the WAP gateway.
3. The data supply component (D) receives the data request,
evaluates the profile information and detects that the requested
image can be used by the terminal (T) itself in the "jpeg" format
and that the WAP gateway (G) can convert images from "gif" format
into if format suitable for the terminal (this only means "jpeg"
here) . If the object or the user data object (the image) is now to
be transmitted in DRM-protected form, it must initially be packed or
encrypted into another data format (e.g.
"application/vnd.wap.drm.message or
application/vnd.wap.drm.content") which would make it inaccessible for the WAP gateway (G) . The data supply component (D) thus decides to pack the object in the "jpeg" format into the DRM format so that processing of the object by the WAP gateway is not necessary. The data supply component (D) sends the object or user data object to the WAP gateway in the format described.

4. The WAP gateway received the object that to processing of the object or an action by the WAP gateway G is essary and transmits it to the terminal (T) ,
5, The terminal receives the object, unpacks it and can use it.
Without the procedure described above in accordance with an embodiment of the invention the same process would appear as follows:
1. The WAP-capable terminal (T) sends a data request initially to
the WAP gateway (G) . This contains the basic profile BP and the
difference profile DP3 for description of the supplementary module
(again of. Figure 1) .
2. The WAP gateway (G) receives the data request and forwards it,
supplemented by the difference profile DP2, to the data supply
component (D).
3. The data supply component (D) receives the data request,
evaluates the profile information and recognizes that the requested
data or the requested image can be used by the combination of
terminal (T) and WAP gateway (G) in "jpeg format" and in "gif
format". The object is to be transmitted in DRM-protected form and
to this end must first be packed into another data format
(application/vnd. wap. drm. message or application/vnd. wap . drm. content)
which makes it inaccessible to the WAP gateway. The data supply component of (D) may possibly decide to pack the object in the "gif" format into the DRM format, and sends the object to the WAP gateway (G) in the format described.
4. The WAP gateway (G) receives the object, recognizes that it cannot process the object since it does not recognize the data

format enclosing it or cannot process this format does not change the object and
transmits it to the terminwl
5. The terminal (T) receives the object, unpacks it from the enclosing data format and can however not use it.
