  • Patent number: 9826498
    Abstract: In a non-limiting and exemplary embodiment, a method is provided for arranging wireless communications, comprising: establishing, by an apparatus, a connection with an access point, detecting location of the access point, detecting accuracy of the detected location of the access point, and in response to detecting the detected location of the access point to be more accurate than an earlier stored location of the access point, updating the detected location to a location database of the apparatus.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7986980
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, memory embodying a program, and others are described determining a first traffic pattern for a first radio access system of an apparatus, determining a second traffic pattern for a second radio access system of the apparatus, and restricting operation of at least one non-radio sub-system of the apparatus based on the first traffic pattern and on the second traffic pattern. It is notable that the first and second traffic patterns span a common time interval. In a multiradio device, the traffic patterns are generated by a multiradio controller in order to inhibit instances where one radio would interfere in time and frequency with another. Those traffic patterns are used by a resource manager to manage power draw from the battery by delaying full operation of other sub-systems to a time when the traffic patterns indicate no radio is scheduled. Another use of the traffic patterns for power savings is also detailed.

  • Publication number: 20080086699
    Abstract: A graphical user interface is disclosed, that includes selectable items; a set of indices to the selectable items; a presentation field having a subset of the set of indices, wherein the subset is selected from the set of indices by scrolling the presentation field; and an input interface capable of receiving a select indication from a user, wherein the presentation field includes a predetermined position for an index such that upon reception of the select indication, items associated to an index present in the predetermined position are presented by the graphical user interface. An apparatus having such a graphical user interface is also disclosed. Further, a method for selecting items of a graphical user interface, and a computer program for implementing the method are disclosed.
