Abstract: Method for validating a trusted user of an electronic device, which electronic device comprises an input surface, e.g. on a key, dedicated for application of a user finger; a user input data sensor system, including a fingerprint sensor connected to the input surface for detecting user input fingerprint data, and a tremor sensor for detecting user input tremor data; data access to stored user input data corresponding to a trusted user; and a main processor system configured to match detected user input data with stored input data for validation of a trusted user. A triggering algorithm may run in a sub-sensor system, for sensing device handling and comparing sensed device handling with stored data. If the comparison reveals that user input is likely to occur based on the, a command is sent to the main processing system to trigger activation of tremor sensing and matching.

Abstract: A tag includes a communication interface that is configured to receive and transmit wireless transmissions, a movement detector and a digital logic circuit configured to perform operations. The operations may include broadcasting wireless transmissions comprising a tag ID of the tag from the communication interface according to a transmission pattern. A stationary movement pattern of the tag may be detected with the movement detector. The operations may further include adjusting the transmission pattern responsive to detecting the stationary movement pattern. A confirmation from a computing device indicating that information for the tag ID has been received by a server tracking the tag. The adjustment to the transmission pattern may also be responsive to receiving the confirmation. The tag broadcasts wireless transmissions according to the adjusted transmission pattern.

Abstract: A user's wireless communication device communicates cellular signals with a remote party over a wireless communications network and short-range wireless signals with a headset worn by the user. Upon receiving an incoming call, a controller in the user's device determines whether a microphone integrated with the user's device, or a microphone integrated with the headset, is closest to the user's mouth. Based on that determination, the controller routes the incoming audio signals to whichever speaker is associated with the microphone that is closest to the user's mouth.

Abstract: A communication terminal and a method for initiating a communication link from a communication terminal to a remote party, where the method includes sensing input of an address number for the remote party. Upon sensing the input of an address number a plurality of selectable items, representing different communication channels usable for setting up a communication link from the terminal, are presented on a display of the terminal. A navigation tool can be used to change selected communication channel, such as from voice call to messaging, after which setting up of a communication link using the selected communication channel can proceed.

Abstract: A device may include a display, a component configured to be manipulated in a one dimensional, a two dimensional, or a three dimensional fashion, logic to detect a variable associated with the manipulation, logic to generate a signal corresponding to the detected manipulation, and logic to utilize the signal in the device or output the signal to an external device, where the component includes at least one of the display or one or more keys, and where the component capable of moving in the one dimensional fashion is configured to move in a direction other than a direction substantially perpendicular to a surface of the device that includes the component.
