Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling remotely a mobile terminal (30). The method envisages providing a command (COM) to be sent from a remote server (2) to the mobile terminal (30), and a voice signal (V) to be transmitted from a remote server (20) to the mobile terminal (30). The voice signal (V) is encoded in a voice data packet flow (VOICE_FLOW) and the command (COM) in command data packets (COMk) so as to generate a packet data flow (DATA_FLOW) comprising the voice data packet flow (VOICE_FLOW) and the command data packets (COMk). This packet data flow (DATA_FLOW) is thus sent from the remote server (20) to the mobile terminal (30).

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for selecting a transmission technology (MIMO or non MIMO) for a HSDPA connection established between a RNC and a UE depending on the mobility of said UE, measured at the RNC as variations of the position of the UE. Then, if the connection is established with HSDPA MIMO technology and the position variations exceed a first pre-defined threshold, the connection is switched to HSPDA non MIMO technology. Also, if the connection is established with HSPDA non MIMO technology and the position variations are below a second pre-defined threshold, the connection is switched to HSPDA MIMO technology.

Abstract: Configuring a cellular telecommunications network base station repeater for use at a particular location includes performing data collection activity at the location to obtain an indication of the transmit frequency of a nearby base station of the cellular telecommunications network. The repeater is then set to amplify received signals at that frequency. By only amplifying this particular frequency, the repeater can provide cellular telecommunications coverage at a location (for example a basement) where coverage might not otherwise be available by amplifying only the relevant frequency. This is in contrast to amplifying indiscriminately a wide range of frequencies, which can interfere with other radio transmissions.

Abstract: A search device and an information providing system are structured, to lessen a user's operation load, such that a crawling portion executes a crawling while sequentially changing an expansion header indicating a voice display capacity in an HTTP request into a voice display capacity of a typical model within each of model groups, and registers the obtained result in a search index in correspondence to the model name within the model group, a search service providing portion executes a search from the search index in correspondence to a search condition like a key word from a cellular phone terminal unit and the model name in the HTTP request, and a response portion generates a search result in correspondence to a template, and sends to a Web browser of the cellular phone terminal unit via an HTTP server.

Abstract: A communications device (1) communicates with an access point (7) to gateway (21) and local area network (13) by a wired or wireless communications link (9). These components may, for example, be accommodated on a train or serve some other predefined area. Gateway (21) receives data packets from device (1) representing information for transmission via that device's “home” communication system (15) to a destination device. The gateway (21) creates packet data protocol channels (27,29,31) with a plurality of communication systems (15,23) and (25) and sends the data packets received from the device (1) selectively over each of these communications channels (27,29,31). A link between a communications systems (23) and (25) allows the data packets to be forwarded to the communications system (15) where they are compiled by concentrator (49) for onward transmission. The communication systems (15,23,25) may be mobile or cellular communications systems.

Abstract: When an acquisition and reporting control unit of a measurement data processing unit in a development support device sends a sensor measurement start request to a portable information device in response to a collection operation start command from an application under development, an acquisition and reporting control unit of a measurement data processing unit in the portable information device starts measurement operations by a sensor. The measured raw data is continuously sent to the development support device. Data which match the collection condition are collected by a data collection unit. In response to a data request from the program under development, a data reporting unit reports the measurement data which satisfy a reporting condition to the application under development. As a result, when developing an application program which uses the results of measurement by the sensor, it is possible to provide a satisfactory development environment.

Abstract: A mobile communication terminal having a structure including a host section and an engine section is built compactly. —As a request for using a host-connecting device is received from an engine section 40, a host section 30 makes a judgment of whether or not a current state of an engine processor of the engine section 40 is an engine-mode state of controlling actively an operation of an engine-connecting device connected to the engine processor of the engine section 40, and the engine-mode state is estimated to be continued. Further, when a result of the judgment is affirmative, the host section 30 operates a host-connecting section, according to an operation mode specified by operation mode parameters. As a result, in a mode in which a request is made by an application executed by the engine processor, a specific host-connecting device which the application has desired to use is operated.

Abstract: When an application activation instruction is input, it is decided whether the application is expected to access a high-level protection resource or low-level protection resource (step S31). If the decision is affirmative, display is done to prompt the user to select whether to permit activation of the application (step S32). When the user inputs an activation permission instruction, the application is activated (steps S33 to S36). As a result, only when the user permits an application, which is expected to access a high-level protection resource or low-level protection resource, to access a predetermined resource immediately before its execution, the application is executed. Hence, the basic processing part and application can operate in cooperation with each other while limiting access to various kinds of resources by the application in a reasonable range.
