Patent number: 9392428Abstract: A mobile telephone includes a reminder controller. A reminder can be entered either using the phone or using a remote terminal. Each reminder is associated with an event being the start of a particular application, or an event being an identifier in a software application becoming a preset value. The phone operates to detect an application start event, following which it is determined whether a parameter associated with the reminder matches a parameter associated with the application, and announces the reminder as appropriate. In this way, enhanced functionality is provided with the phone, since it is possible to set a reminder to be associated with an event other than the reaching of a particular time and date.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2013Date of Patent: July 12, 2016Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventor: Peter Dam Nielsen

Patent number: 9184939Abstract: A mobile telephone terminal provides a user with a selectable option to transfer a telephone call to an instant messaging session and to transfer an instant messaging session to a telephone call. A presence attribute indicator for a first party is displayed with an entry associated with the telephone number of the first party. A user has a selectable option for initiating instant messaging with the party. The mobile telephone provides a customized menu of selectable options for initiating communication. The menu is dependent upon received presence attribute information. A calendar application can store the content of an instant messaging dialog in an appointment record. When an application accesses a stored telephone number of a party the stored instant messaging address of that party is automatically accessed and when the application accesses a stored instant messaging address of a party, the stored telephone number of that party is automatically accessed.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2012Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: Nokia Technologies OyInventors: Peter Dam Nielsen, Christian Kraft, Gregers Juul-Pedersen, Hans Jacob Jespersen

Patent number: 8448212Abstract: Provided are apparatuses and methods in a digital broadcast transmission system for receiving, processing and rendering transmitted content. A digital receiver capable of receiving and rendering both DVB-H and DVB-T signals may include a coupling means for connecting to another terminal for receiving program data or parameters. The digital receiver may reconfigure one or more components in order to handle the differing signal types. Such a receiver system allows a user to move seamlessly from a mobile device to a stationary device without significant effort and time. The receiver may further use transmission streams of varying priority to enhance and otherwise modify the displayed content according to a user's selection. Users with small display screens or poor eyesight may benefit from such enhancements features.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2005Date of Patent: May 21, 2013Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Ari Aarnio, Peter Dam Nielsen, Ari Ikonen, Kyösti Koivisto, Christian Kraft, Pekka H.
