Abstract: A communication method for automatically switching between cellular networks and IP networks includes following steps. A mobile phone number is used as an user account. A sending user inputs or selects the user account or the mobile phone number of a receiving user on a sending client to send a message to the receiving user. If there is an user account corresponding to the mobile phone number of the receiving user registered on a server and the user account is on line, the sending client sends a message to the server via the IP networks, and the server transfers the message to a receiving client via the IP networks. If there is no user account corresponding to the mobile phone number of the receiving user registered on the server, the sending client directly sends a short message to the mobile phone number of the receiving user via the cellular networks.

Abstract: Contextual spatial models for indoor and outdoor structures are created from a plurality of devices using crowdsourcing. A method for creating a contextual spatial model for a premises includes receiving location information and contextual information from a plurality of devices. For each of the plurality of devices, the method receives location information of the device's location, and contextual information related to at least one of the device and a user associated with the device when the device is at the location. The method then determines a designation for each subject location within the premises by applying the received contextual information associated with the subject location to a location model (e.g., rules-based model or a machine learning model).

Said mobile radio system comprises at least one transfer channel, wherein several data partial flows (2.1, 2.2, 2.6) are transferred. The several data partial flows (2.1, 2.2 . . . 2.6) are produced in a signal generator unit (8). A transport format is determined, in an individual manner, for each data partial flow (2.1, 2.2 . . . 2.6). The data partial flows (2.1, 2.2 . . . 2.6) are sent, respectively, to a number of transfer blocks which belong together (5.1, . . . 7.1). A device which is to be tested captures the transfer blocks (5.1, . . . 7.1) of the data partial flows (2.1, 2.2 . . . 2.6) and evaluates them. According to the accuracy of the evaluation, a positive or negative actuation signal (ACK, NACK) is sent back by the device which is to be tested. An error rate of each data partial flow (2.1, 2.2 . . . 2.

Abstract: A central computer of a telecommunications company handles an incoming call from a caller. The telephone number of the caller is checked against a white list or blacklist and handled accordingly. If the caller is unknown, a question is played to the caller (optionally selected randomly) along with a number of possible answers. The answers are presented randomly, associated with random identifiers, etc. If the caller selects the correct answer then the call is routed to the receiver's telephone. If not, then the call is terminated or other action taken as specified. The incoming call may also be handled by a mobile telephone or computing device at the user's home or business. The mobile telephone may alert the user when answering the incoming call or wait until the question is answered correctly before ringing the telephone.

Abstract: When the user enters a request for moving a viewpoint, whether or not a displayed area is encompassed in a link area that is set for an active image is kept monitored. When the displayed area is encompassed, a corresponding link is determined to be valid, and an image of a link destination mapped to the link area is displayed. Whether or not the displayed area moves outside of a link area set for an image of a link origin is further monitored. If even a part of the displayed area moves outside of the link area, a corresponding link is determined to be invalid, and the display is switched back to the image of the link origin. If none of the above-stated conditions applies, the initial image continues to be displayed while moving the displayed area according to the movement of the viewpoint within the active image.
