Abstract:
1. A method, comprising: defining at least one operational criterion to be applied for a group of one or more users; generating, based on the at least one operational criterion, one or more interface rules, an interface rule comprising information identifying at least one application capable of utilizing two or more communication interfaces of user terminals, and a function for determining a communication interface to be applied by that application in communications of the group of one or more users; creating a profile that comprises interface rules generated based on operational criteria to be applied for a user; storing the profile in a user terminal of the user; and applying the interface rules of the profile in operations of the user terminal, wherein an interface rule in the profile is derived in the user terminal from the at least one operational criterion and the at least one operational criterion is for controlling the use of communication interfaces and relates to one or more of the following communication parameters: security of transmissions, power consumption of the radio interface, battery life or battery charge status of the user terminal, paging speed provided in the communication interface, bandwidth available in the communication interface; quality of service available in the communication interface, and levels of priority provided in the communication interface or telephone number of the receiving communications party.
