Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of remotely changing operating characteristics of a communications device selected for signaling an incoming message or call to a user. To allow signaling an urgent incoming message or call to a user even if the device to be called is in a mute state, the method comprises the steps of: transmitting control data from a calling device (MSI) to a device (MS2) to called; changing a group of operating characteristics of the device (MS2) to be called in accordance with the transmitted control data; and signaling an incoming message or call in accordance with the operating characteristics set up in the previous step.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for facilitating detection of text within an image. A method may include calculating an alpha value associated with an image region containing a hypothesized text fragment. The alpha value may be defined as a function of a curved character length distribution, a character width distribution, and an inter-character spacing distribution for the hypothesized text fragment. The method may additionally include calculating a gamma value based at least in part on an interval length distribution determined for the hypothesized text fragment. The method may also include classifying whether the image region is a text-containing region based at least in part on the calculated alpha and gamma values. Corresponding apparatuses are also provided.

Abstract: An eye tracker device (200) comprises a diffractive beam expander (207) to provide two substantially collimated illuminating light beams (B11, B12). The collimated light beams (B11, B12) provide two reflection spots (G1, G2) appearing in the image of the eye. The gaze direction (GZD) is calculated from the positions of the reflection spots (G1, G2) with respect to the pupil (P) of the eye (E1). The two illuminating beams (B11, B12) are provided by splitting an infrared laser beam (B4) into two in-coupled beams (B5, B6), which propagate in different directions in the substrate (7) of the beams expander. The in-coupled beams (B5, B6) are expanded and their light is subsequently coupled out of the substrate (7) by an out-coupling grating (230) to illuminate the eye (E1). The same substrate (7) may also be used to implement a virtual display device (100) for displaying virtual images to said eye (E1).

Abstract: A radio signal is input to a first terminal and output after amplification at a second terminal. There is a third terminal which is common to both the first and the second terminal. There is an inductance interfacing the second terminal to a direct current power supply; and a radio frequency filter connected in shunt with the inductance. In an exemplary embodiment the first, second and third terminals are respective base, collector and emitter terminals of a bipolar transistor. Such a bipolar transistor is characterized in that voltage from the power supply passes to the second terminal through the inductance but not through the radio frequency filter; and the signal output passes from the second terminal through the radio frequency filter but not through the inductance. The illustrated embodiments show the radio frequency filter as a surface acoustic wave filter in direct connection with the second terminal.

Abstract: An apparatus for providing ciphering problem detection may include a processor. The processor may be configured to receive an unacknowledged mode message, initiate operation of a timer based on receipt of the unacknowledged mode message, re-initiate timer operation in response to each subsequent unacknowledged mode message received prior to expiration of the timer, record a timer expiry event in response to the timer expiring prior to receipt of a subsequent unacknowledged mode message, and indicate a data reception error in response to receipt of the subsequent unacknowledged mode message after recordation of the timer expiry event.

Abstract: An approach is provided for customizing map presentations. A map customizing platform determines a degree of interest of a site represented on an image of a map by tracking at least one of a frequency of visit to the site and a time period of visit at the site. The map customizing platform then changes an image size of the site relative to the image of the map based on the degree of interest.

Abstract: A system including a billboard that may comprise a common memory space allocated amongst at least two devices. Service nodes created on the billboard may represent services offered by the at least two devices. Service nodes may interact with each other on the billboard in order to perform inquiries for required services. For example, an application residing in the at least two devices may access the billboard in order to locate service nodes pertaining to a desired service. Information available from service nodes may include service property and usable transport information. A direction connection may then be made between the application and the service after a service node is selected.

Abstract: An example apparatus is caused to receive a video sequence of a plurality of frames, and activate one of a plurality of available decoding processes based on a comparison of a size of the frames to a predefined threshold. The apparatus is also caused to select some but not all of the frames of the video sequence as potential key frames of the video sequence. The selected frames are located at or close to predefined positions along a length of the video sequence. The apparatus is also caused to decode the potential key frames according to the activated decoding process, and cause output of at least some of the potential key frames as key frames of the video sequence. The apparatus may be caused to discard from the potential key frames, one or more plain frames and/or a frame identified as being similar to other potential key frames.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided that may provide a scheme for measurement reporting for minimization of drive tests (MDT) data.

Responsive to the handover, an indication of availability of MDT measurement logged data may be provided to the second PLMN. A determination may then be made at the user terminal as to whether to provide the MDT measurement logged data to the second PLMN based on an identity of the second PLMN.
