Patent number: 7216034Abstract: A system and method for providing an interactive, multi-modal interface used to generate a route drawing. A mobile terminal display initially displays map data indicative of a user's region of interest. Through a series of audible, visual, and tactile excitations, the user interacts with the route drawing system to generate a desired route to be superimposed upon the user's region of interest. User preferences are used by the system to intelligently aid the user in selection of each segment of the route to be drawn. An analysis of each segment, as well as an analysis of the final route, is performed so that the attributes of the route, along with the graphical representation of the route itself, may be stored either locally within the mobile terminal or remotely within a map server.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2003Date of Patent: May 8, 2007Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Timo Vitikainen, Panu Korhonen

Patent number: 7149550Abstract: The input of words into a text string in a communication terminal is handled by recording a key stroke sequence inputted for characterising one of said words, and comparing said key strokes sequence with candidates in a word completion directory in order to find word completion candidates matching said key stroke sequence. One of said matching word completion candidates is displayed in the display for selection by the user. When the user selects a word which exceeds a first predetermined number of characters the selected word is added to the directory including a plurality of word completion candidates, if the selected word is not present there already.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2001Date of Patent: December 12, 2006Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Christian Kraft, Claus Aagaard Pedersen, Jens Benner, Lars Bohn Hansen, Juha Marila, Panu Korhonen

Patent number: 7142894Abstract: This invention describes a mobile phone with a means of measuring a background sound level of an environment. When a user either initiates or receives a phone call, sound levels before and during the call are compared. Once it is decided that the voice is too loud based on a predetermined criteria, the phone gives the user a feedback indicating that the voice is too loud and potentially a disruption to other people. Furthermore, the present invention provides a feedback for a voice adjustment by utilizing a sidetone adaptive signal that filters the user own speech directly to an earpiece.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2003Date of Patent: November 28, 2006Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Fumiko Ichikawa, Panu Korhonen, Guy C. Nicholson
