Abstract: To provide an information terminal device contributing to prevention of an operation not intended by a user. A communication management unit (512) of an SVG processing unit (510) displays an image (confirmation image) for requesting a user to perform a confirmation input to confirm whether to be connected to the network before performing network connection according to the definition of a link definition unit (630) in the SVG content (600). When the user rejects the network connection, the link defined by the link definition unit (630) is not referenced. On the other hand, when the user permits the network connection, the communication management unit (512) requests the data of the address defined by the link definition unit (630) from the HTTP server (10) or the like specified in the address. Upon reception of a response to this, a communication state display unit (513) displays the data reception state according to the report from a communication state report unit (121).

Abstract: A mobile telecommunications network includes a radio access network comprising base stations and one or more additional access points. An access point is connected to a network core by an IP transport broadband connection. The access point is configured to appear to the mobile terminal as a conventional base station—that is, for example, it communicates with the mobile terminal using GSM or UMTS transport protocols and does not require any modification to a standard GSM or UMTS mobile terminal. Access Points may not be under the direct control of the network provider, and so are more susceptible to security threats. The described system allows the network provider to verify that the access point through which a mobile terminal is about to communicate is a legitimate and trusted base station and/or is at a particular location. Differential charging may be performed in dependence upon a subscriber's location.

Abstract: A system and a method for managing automatic log in to Internet target resources are disclosed. The system comprises a mobile phone with a storing device to store private identities and a computer with a client browser and a browser plug-in. The browser plug-in is configured to, upon receiving information containing a login form from a target resource being accessed: request a user identifier; and send an identity request to an identification server. Furthermore, the identification server is configured to obtain a phone number associated to the user identifier and send an identity message to the phone. The phone is provided with a client application which looks up the private identities associated to the target resource and sends the selected private identity to the identification server and then to the client browser to log in to the target resource using the selected private identity.

Abstract: In a mobile or cellular telecommunications network a single tunnel between nodes 7, 11, 15 and 19 of the network is established to transmit data on a plurality of bearers. Each bearer transmits data relating to a particular service. The respective bearers may be identified by identification data. The identification data may indicate the priority of the data in the particular bearer. The identification data may indicate the DiffServ Service Class, DSSC, as defined in RFC 4594.

After that, if a lock request electronic mail having the registered title is received, and the lock request electronic mail is detected by the lock request detection section 51, then when the contactless type communication device is in a usable state, in the mobile communication terminal the function lock section 52 within the control section locks the function of the contactless type communication device via the wired communication path.

Abstract: In a measured-value converting process, a shape-condition converting process and an absolute coordinate system converting process (S16) are performed on a value measured by a sensor. In the shape-condition converting process, when a mobile terminal has a shape 1 and shape 2, the converting process is not performed (S12 and S13). When the mobile terminal has a shape 3, a converting process of rotating through 180° around YS axis is performed (S14). Moreover, when the mobile terminal has a shape 4, a converting process of rotating through 180° around ZS axis (S15) is performed. Therefore, even in an information processing apparatus of which a shape changes, a sensor which detects a movement of the information processing apparatus can be used as an input device, irrespective of the shape.

Abstract: Security of communications between a mobile terminal 1 and a cellular network node (base station 3) is enhanced. A communication session transmitted on a first traffic channel ‘0’ is encrypted using a key ‘KA’. The security is enhanced by causing the communication channel to change to a second communication channel ‘7’ after a predetermined time, preferably very quickly after establishing the key. In one embodiment the communication channel then changes to a third communication channel ‘25’ after a predetermined time. In another embodiment the communication session is encrypted using a second key ‘KB’after causing the communication channel to change to the second communication channel ‘7’.

Abstract: To ensure that contacts (and other information) are presented to the user of a communications terminal in a manner that approximates the perceived relative importance a human user might assign, there is described a method for ranking contacts relative to one another on the basis of a ranking value that has been generated from timeline activities (such as tweets, blog posts, RSS feed, emails/SMS etc.), and/or status information (presence, location etc. of the contact) and/or trends in such activities/status values. This ranking method may be supplemental to more conventional rankings such as alphabetic ordering of contacts or ordering by edit date.

Abstract: This disclosure concerns methods and systems for network communications. In one example of such a method, respective groups of cells are first allocated to respective location regions. Next, respective indicators are received from various devices, indicating the identity of the cell occupied by the corresponding device. Additionally, a database is maintained that includes information concerning the location region occupied by each device. In operation, when a device switches from a radio access network to another access network, the other access network receives the indicator of the identity of the cell occupied by the device and, in dependence thereon, selects the location region which the device is deemed to occupy by a core network.

Abstract: A method for establishing bi-directional and session-based communication between IMS and GSM subscribers with the purpose of sending text information by using the SIP protocol and USSD services. The method defines an IP-USSD gateway that converts messages between the SIP and USSD protocols before relaying them. The communication session can be initiated by either party; the GSM subscriber or the IMS subscriber. A message, which an SIP client has sent, is thereby converted into a USSD message and conveyed to the GSM subscriber. Thus, the GSM subscriber can read the USSD message sent to the mobile phone, and in addition can see the name and surname of the sender and write an answer. Similarly, the SIP subscriber can read the message received and write an answer.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for handover in a wireless communication device between wireless domains is described. In one example, a signal employing a short-range wireless protocol is detected at the wireless communication device. For example, the short-range wireless protocol may be a near-field communication (NFC) protocol, a radio frequency identification (RFID) protocol, an optical protocol, a BLUETOOTH protocol, and the like known in the art. A handover is requested from the first wireless domain to the second wireless domain in response to the detected signal. In one example, the signal may be broadcast by an access control system to a building and may be configured to control access to the building. In this manner, precise delineation of the handover boundary between wireless domains is provided.

Abstract: A system and method for the management of advertisements in an graphic object such as an application or web page The system includes an ad-server manager that is configured: to receive (from a user-side process that generates graphic objects such as application windows or web pages) a request for an ad-server to be used; to select the ad-server to be used; and to send information related to the selected ad-server to the user-side process. The user-side process then requests the selected ad-server to provide at least one advertisement; and receives said at least one advertisement from the selected ad-server. As a result, the ad-server manager is able to choose the most suitable ad-server for each request, taking account of issues such as temporary unavailability or backwards compatibility. In addition, the applications/web pages may be made lighter, easier to construct and cheaper because they do not need to include the code to recover advertisements.

Abstract: Synchronization of presence information is established between different presence services. Presence information of each user is stored on the presence server 27 of the presence display system comprising mobile phones. Presence information of the SIP phone system comprising the SIP phone 29 and the SIPG/W (enterprise side) 30 is stored in the SIPG/W (enterprise side) 30. When presence information of the presence server 27 has changed, the presence server 27 notifies the SIPG/W (enterprise side) 30 of the change in presence information via the SIPG/W (mobile communication network side) 31. Conversely, when presence information of the SIP phone system has changed, the SIPG/W (enterprise side) 30 notifies the presence server 27 of the change in presence via the SIPG/W (mobile communication network side) 31.

Abstract: With the object of eliminating congestion that has occurred in a station which can not prevent or eliminate the occurrence of congestion autonomously, the SMPP response time in output interfaces 21h-21k of a first PPG 21 are measured and when the time mta, which is m-times of the SMPP response time ta in the normal state, is exceeded, congestion is assumed to occur in an interconnected station of the first PPG 21 and the response to push transfer request in an input interface 21a is delayed. Further, changes in the filling ratio in a buffer memory 21b are monitored and when the filling ratio exceeds h %, a decision is made that congestion has occurred in the first PPG 21 and the response to the push transfer request in the input interface 21a is delayed.

Abstract: A mobile communication terminal 10A, in a process of acquiring assistance information in advance for using for a GPS position measuring at step S10, makes a judgment of whether or not the assistance information is to be acquired, prior to the GPS position measuring command by a user. When a result of this judgment is affirmative, the terminal 10A transmits an assistance information request to a position measuring assistance server 50. When the assistance information is returned from the position measuring assistance server 50 in response to this the assistance information request, in the cellular phone 10A, the assistance information is received and stored, and then prepared for a command for position measuring by the user, for which possibility of being made is higher in a short period. As a result, it is possible to perform quickly the position measuring of a current location of the mobile communication terminal.
