  • Publication number: 20080046271
    Abstract: A method for importing Digital Rights Management (DRM) data converts non-Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) DRM data to OMA DRM data for a user domain in DRM solutions. The method includes registering a local rights manager (LRM) to a domain authority or a Rights Issuer and exchanging user domain information, and creating a DRM content format (DCF) and a rights object (RO) that conform to Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) DRM standard from non-OMA DRM data based on the user domain information. A method for using DRM data includes registering the LRM, creating DCF conforming to OMA DRM standard from non-OMA DRM data, creating an RO, and transferring the DCF and RO to a DRM agent of a device.

  • Publication number: 20070250617
    Abstract: A method of delegating user domain management authority is disclosed to provide flexible and continuous user domain management. According to this method, user domain management authority may be delegated from a first device in the user domain to a second device in the user domain. Delegation of user domain management authority may be performed through consultation with a delegation agent such that delegation may occur when the first device having user domain management authority is lost, unavailable, or otherwise inoperable by a user. Delegation of user domain management authority may include transferring user domain management information, such as user domain policy, user domain master key, and user domain key chain, from the first device to the second device. Once the second device receives user domain management information, user domain management authority of the first device may be discharged and notice may be sent to devices in the user domain.

  • Patent number: 7286849
    Abstract: Disclosed are a system and a method of controlling an audio output in a mobile communication terminal, and more particularly to a system and a method of controlling an audio output of mobile communication terminal, wherein when a broadcasting channel is changed, an audio signal of the mobile communication terminal is not outputted for a preset time or in an ineffective channel from which a broadcasting does not come through. The mobile communication terminal having a television function according to an embodiment of the invention is characterized in that when a broadcasting channel is changed, a video signal is outputted and at the same time an audio signal is not outputted by turning off the amplifier for a preset time, and when the preset time lapses, the amplifier is turned on and thus the audio signal is outputted.

  • Publication number: 20070230402
    Abstract: A packet switched radio telecommunication system supporting hard handover adapts Always_on technology to a link between a target packet data serving node (PDSN) and a support PDSN. The support PDSN assigns a temporary IP address to a mobile terminal in its service area, and transmits handover data and the mobile terminal's temporary IP address to the target PDSN via a direct link when the mobile terminal leaves the service area. The target PDSN, upon receiving a registration request for the temporary IP address from the mobile terminal moved to its service area, temporarily registers the temporary IP address in an IP pool. The target PDSN receives down-link frame data for the mobile terminal at the temporarily registered IP address from the support PDSN via the direct link. A new temporary IP address is assigned by the target PDSN when data transmission/reception is complete to the mobile terminal.

  • Publication number: 20070183431
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for transmitting a packet from a correspondent node to a mobile node when the mobile node moves from a home network to an external network equivalent to the correspondent node's local network. The method may include securing a Care Of Address (COA) for the mobile node. The COA may be used to forward a packet intended for the mobile node by a home agent in the home network. The method may also include obtaining the COA at the home agent to update binding information on the mobile node, transmitting the updated binding information to a correspondent node, and setting a target IP address for the packet transmitted by the correspondent node. The target IP address may be the COA of the mobile node when the correspondent node's local network is the same as the external network where the mobile node is located.
