Abstract: A method for securely relaying personal data between a telemedicine device and a remote terminal via a proxy server includes establishing a communication link between the telemedicine device and the proxy server over a first communication network. A request, including authentication access data, is received from a remote terminal for a remote user to assess personal data of a telemedicine device user. Upon validating the authentication access data to approve access to the personal data on the telemedicine device by the remote user, the personal data is relayed between the telemedicine device and the remote terminal in a remote assess session while preventing secure personal data of the telemedicine device user from being sent to the proxy server. If the telemedicine device communicates over a second communication network, the communication link is re-established with the proxy server over the second communication network without terminating the remote access session.

Abstract: A telehealth device includes a memory, a processor, one or more cameras, and a communication interface for relaying a data communication between a remote mobile device of a medical practitioner and the telehealth device used by a user over a communication network in a single communication channel. The processor may be configured to receive measurements of the user from one or more medical sensors, to collect medical information about the user, to overlay multiple layers of the collected medical in about the user including the received measurements over the data communication, to send the data communication over the communication network with the overlaid multiple layers for display on the remote mobile device of the medical practitioner, to execute commands sent from the remote mobile device in the single communication channel, so as to allow, based on the commands, the medical practitioner to remotely control the telehealth device.

Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for supplying electric power to removable storage compartments. The system includes an alignment body and a removable storage compartment. The alignment body is configured to align the storage compartment at a certain position, and includes a first conductive strip configured to be connected to ground, and a second conductive strip having positive voltage. The storage compartment includes at least a first and a second contact means. The first contact means is configured to be in contact with the first conductive strip, and the second contact means is configured to be in contact with the second conductive strip.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for multimodal communication device capable of automatically determining an optimal communication mode. A user input selecting one of a contact and a stored communication is received, wherein each of the contact and the stored communication is associated with a destination. An optimal global communication mode to use for communicating with the destination is automatically determined from a plurality of communication modes. The destination is communicated with using the optimal global communication mode if a predefined condition is satisfied.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses in automatic detection of a required network key type are described. In one embodiment, a client device prompts a user for a pass phrase, receives a pass phrase and automatically determines the encryption type for the pass phrase to connect to a network. The client device then communicates with a server to authenticate the client device.

Abstract: A mobile device operating in a cellular communication network determines its current location via the cellular communication network, for example, by triangulation of the base stations of the cellular communication network. At its current location, the mobile device also detects a wireless local area network (WLAN) such as a Wi-Fi network. The mobile device then sends the location information and an ID of the WLAN to a network based database server, which creates an entry to store data associating the location information with the WLAN. The mobile device can also store data associating the location with the WLAN in a local storage.
