  • Patent number: 9992732
    Abstract: The invention relates to operating a Machine-Type Communication (MTC) device for communication with a cellular radio network. A transmission is made from the MTC device to the cellular radio network to register the MTC device with the cellular radio network. The transmission includes a message from the MTC device to the cellular radio network, identifying the MTC device as an MTC device to the cellular radio network. Also, the MTC device has an associated HPLMN. An instruction is received at the MTC device from the network not to make a transmission from the MTC device for accessing the network. The instruction specifies a criteria for the MTC device's HPLMN or preferred list of networks. The MTC Device compares the criteria with the HPLMN associated with the MTC device and avoids making a transmission to access the network for a period of time based on the result comparing step.

  • Publication number: 20060028442
    Abstract: A cursor control device (700) having a light source (70) and an image sensor (80) for optically tracking motion. The device (700) includes an upwardly facing dome (710) or window (32) that provides a visual and tactile interface for user interaction. The user's hand or finger, bare or gloved, or other object controlled by the user, can be moved in close proximity or touching the dome (710), and means are provided to discriminate against the motion of objects that are not close to the dome in order to prevent unwanted cursor motion. Said means can include optics (40) having a limited depth of focus, adaptive illumination processing for controlling the intensity of light emitted from the light source (70) to optimize sensor operation, and/or processing for projecting cursor motion in accordance with a detected level of confidence in the sensor data.
