  • Speed dependent displaying of information items in a graphical user interface
    Patent number: 8832575
    Abstract: Electronic device with a display screen and a navigational input device places information items in a string along a path on the display screen. The user can move the string of information items along the path at a variable speed by using the navigational input means. The shape of the path is changed in relation to the speed at which the string of information items is moved along the path. At low speeds the path is substantially rectangular and follows the outline of the rectangular display screen. At higher speeds the path becomes more and more curved.

  • Fixed HS-DSCH or E-DCH allocation for VoIP (or HS-DSCH without HS-SCCH/E-DCH without E-DPCCH)
    Patent number: 8804505
    Abstract: In order to reduce the HS-SCCH overhead, a fixed time allocation approach could be used. In that case, the scheduling time of each VoIP user is semi-static and thus there is no need to transmit e.g. HS-SCCH toward the UE for the initial transmissions, if the UE knows when to receive data on the HS-DSCH and what transport format is used. There are at least two ways of implementing this: 1) HS-SCCH/E-DPCCH signalling to indicate parameters of a first transmission, with subsequent transmissions using the same parameters (and HS-SCCH/E-DPCCH always sent when changes needed), or 2) fixed allocation, RRC signalling used to allocate users and tell the default transport parameters.

  • Filtering of electronic information to be transferred to a terminal
    Patent number: 8792398
    Abstract: A device, a terminal and a method are shown for filtering electronic information to be transferred to the terminal through a telecommunication connection. A specific filtering parameter (30-32) is attached to the electronic information by the transferring device for the purpose of filtering before the electronic information is transferred to the terminal through the connection, and informing the terminal of the filtering parameter (30-32) before the information is transferred through the connection. In the terminal, the informed filtering parameter (30-32) is checked and receipt of the information allowed or prevented on the basis of the filtering parameter (30-32). If allowed, the electronic information is transferred to the terminal through the connection, and if prevented, the information is not transferred to the terminal through the connection.
