  • Patent number: 11728561
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an antenna for wireless communication that includes a first planar conductor, which is adapted to resonate at frequencies of a first frequency range; and a second planar conductor, which is adapted to resonate at frequencies of a second frequency range that spans lower frequencies than the first frequency range. Thus, a compact and efficient antenna layout is provided that enables reception and transmission of radio signals on multiple frequency bands.

  • Patent number: 10846630
    Abstract: A prioritization system in a communication network comprising multiple communication devices adapted to communicate sets of information through the communication network. The sets of information are each associated to a level of urgency and the prioritization system is adapted to prioritize the sets of information based on said levels of urgency. The prioritization system comprises at least one personal communication device associated to an individual user in the prioritization system and the individual user is further associated to a first and a second display.

  • Patent number: 10466054
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for estimating a relative angle (?) between heading (X10) of a person (10) and heading (X12) of a mobile device (12) carried by the person. A first estimate of the relative angle is determined using a multi-axis accelerometer (18) of the mobile device. A second estimate of the relative angle is determined using a multi-axis gyroscope (20) of the mobile device. The first estimate and the second estimate are then combined to provide a combined estimate of the relative angle (?) between the person's heading and the mobile device's heading. The present invention also relates to a system for estimating a relative angle (?) between heading (X10) of a person (10) and heading (X12) of a mobile device (12) carried by the person.

  • Patent number: 9432072
    Abstract: There is provided a docking system comprising a mobile communication device comprising an accelerometer, a first docking station configured to hold the communication device at a first tilt angle; and a second docking station configured to hold the communication device at a second tilt angle, the second angle being different from the first angle, wherein the communication device further comprises processing circuitry configured to, when the communication device is placed in the docking station: detect an electrical connection between the mobile device and docking station; enable the accelerometer and detect a tilt angle of the communication device; and based on the detected tilt angle, identify a docking station and set charging properties of the communication device. There is also provided a method for setting properties of a mobile device based on a measured tilt angle.

  • Patent number: 8756528
    Abstract: A system and method of enabling a user to customize a layout of a video display uses a data file. The data file may be stored within an application. The data file enables the user to specify at least one parameter of a cell of a video display such as, for example, a location, height, width, and display percentage. A layout creating module creates the layout based on the parameter(s) defined by the user. A dynamic icon creating module dynamically creates an icon that represents the layout created by the user. Preferably, the icon depicts the layout of created by the user.
