  • Publication number: 20120162017
    Abstract: A multiband antenna includes a feed unit, a first radio unit, a second radio unit, and a resonance unit. When feed signals are input from the feed unit, the feed signals are respectively transmitted to the first radio unit and the second radio unit to enable the first radio unit and the second radio unit to respectively receive and send wireless signals of different frequencies, and the resonance unit is driven to resonate and is thereby enabled to receive and send wireless signals of predetermined frequencies, such that the multiband antenna is capable of receiving and sending wireless signals in more than two frequency bands.

  • Patent number: 8208471
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for releasing local data contents for an IP-based data access, wherein an evaluation unit (2) evaluates a first IP connection (IP-V1) and extracts an IP destination address (IP:B) and an authorisation verification generating unit (3) generates an authorisation verification (BN) for the data access to the local storage unit (3). An authorisation message generating unit (4) generates an authorisation message on the basis of the authorisation verification (BN) and the extracted IP destination address (IP:B). A trigger unit (5) triggers a transmission process of the generated authorisation message over a second IP connection (IP-V2) which is different from the first IP connection (IP-V1).

  • Patent number: 8209523
    Abstract: A data moving processor includes a code memory coupled to a code fetch circuit and a decode circuit coupled to the code fetch circuit. An address stack is coupled to the decode circuit and configured to store address data. A general purpose stack is coupled to the decode circuit and configured to store other data. The data moving processor uses data from the general purpose stack to perform calculations. The data moving processor uses address data from the address stack to identify source and destination memory locations. The address data may be used to drive an address line of a memory during a read or write operation. The address stack and general purpose stack are separately controlled using bytecode.

  • Patent number: 8209169
    Abstract: A method and system for synchronizing words in an input text of a speech with a continuous recording of the speech. A received input text includes previously recorded content of the speech to be reproduced. A synthetic speech corresponding to the received input text is generated. Ratio data including a ratio between the respective pronunciation times of words included in the received text in the generated synthetic speech is computed. The ratio data is used to determine an association between erroneously recognized words of the received text and a time to reproduce each erroneously recognized word. The association is outputted in a recording medium and/or displayed on a display device.

  • Patent number: 8208901
    Abstract: A mobile terminal apparatus checks if a user is a proper user based on the operation of the user and, if the result of authentication is negative, uploads predetermined data, which is part of data stored in a memory, to a predetermined server. After the transmission is completed, the mobile terminal apparatus erases the uploaded data from the memory. It is also possible to instruct the mobile terminal apparatus to upload and erase data from an external source using an electronic mail or a telephone tone signal sequence. This may protect data contained in mobile terminal apparatus that has been lost, from a person who improperly attempts to access the data.

  • Patent number: 8209389
    Abstract: In order to provide third party verification of the content and delivery of an electronic message such as an e-snail, a server receives the e-mail intended to be sent or forwarded to a specified addressee, and “tags” the message to indicate that it is “registered” with the provider of the service. The server then establishes a direct telnet connection with the addressee's Mail User Agent (MUA), and transmits the tagged email to the addressee's MUA, as well as to the MUA's of any other addressees. After receiving responses from the receiving MUA's that the message was successfully received, the server then creates and forwards to the message originator an electronic receipt.

  • Patent number: 8209635
    Abstract: A technique for managing the display of content on a display of an electronic device may be based on a distance of the user to the display. The distance may be estimated by analyzing video data to detect a face of the user and establish a distance parameter based on a relationship between facial features. Based on this information, the displayed content may be adjusted to facilitate easy viewing of the displayed content, such as by changing the size of the displayed content, the layout of the displayed content, or the number of visual elements that make up the displayed content.

  • Patent number: 8208010
    Abstract: Methods for adjusting a picture of an object captured by a camera in a mobile radio communication terminal include defining a first camera angle relative to the object and capturing an image of the object by means of the camera from a second camera angle relative to the object. The second camera angle is offset from the first camera angle. The methods further include storing image data relating to the captured image, and generating an angularly adjusted image of the object in response to the image data and an angular relation between the first camera angle and the second camera angle. Corresponding mobile radio communication terminals are also disclosed. The terminals include an image processing system configured to process an image of an object captured by a camera from a second camera angle by generating an angularly adjusted image of the object in response to image data for the image, and in response to an angular relation between the second camera angle and a first camera angle.
