Abstract: A system and method for providing PBX-like functionality at a remote office location includes the capability of maintaining a network session with a mobile number associated with the remote worker once the worker terminates the remote office session. The system utilizes a remote office platform interposed between a data communications network and a conventional PBX switch (located either at a subscriber-based office location or within the communication network and shared by a number of different subscribers). A remotely located individual (such as a telecommuter) “logs in” to the remote office platform and, once the individual is authenticated, a graphical user interface (GUI) emulating a PBX station set is enabled at the remote employee's personal computer, the GUI including a field for entry of the user's mobile number.

Abstract: A system and method for performing forward channel scheduling for an HDR system includes collecting status information of connected terminals, calculating a predetermined weight (?(n)), calculating priority values of respective terminals based on the collected status information and the weight (?(n)), and selecting a terminal having the highest priority value and providing the selected terminal with the service. By considering the number of connected mobile terminals, disadvantages of other proposed scheduling algorithms are overcome. Also, the entire throughput of the HDR system is improved by maintaining Quality of Service (QoS) of the mobile terminals that require the real-time service.

Abstract: In a positional information providing method, an information sending server transmits desired decision positional information and unique information on a designated mobile terminal device to a positional information providing server, and a mobile terminal device transmits unique information thereon to the positional information providing server, and when the designated unique information and the unique information agree with each other, the positional information providing server makes a decision as to whether or not there is a point of agreement between the decision positional information and the positional information on the mobile terminal device and, when the decision indicates that there is a point of agreement between the decision positional information and the positional information on the mobile terminal device, the positional information providing server notifies the decision result through a network to the information sending server, thereby providing the positional information.

Abstract: A folding electronic device having a first housing and a second housing foldably connected through a hinge mechanism. The folding electronic device includes a first hinge cylinder integrated with the first housing, a second hinge cylinder integrated with the second housing, and a pipe inserted in one end of the first hinge cylinder and in one end of the second hinge cylinder to foldably connect the second housing to the first housing.

Abstract: A method for providing an information unit to a user is described, wherein the information unit describes an object having a predetermined spatial relationship to the user. The method includes detecting a kind of movement or a position of the user. Depending on the detected kind of movement or the position of the user, a geographic selection criterion is adjusted, wherein, depending on the predetermined spatial relationship of object to user, the geographic selection criterion specifies whether the information unit is provided or not. If a location of the user is located such with respect to a geographic position of the user that the geographic selection criterion is met, the information unit for the object is reproduced. An advantage is that the concept may be employed in applications in which the user gets into different environments and situations which, in turn, require different geographic selection criteria.

Abstract: Information about a past channel connection history accompanying movements of a user is stored in a mobile phone. When a channel is connected with a new base station by turning the power on or by a hand-over, the information about a channel connection history is searched, then one or more cell to which the user may move is predicted, and to those cells, a determination of a hand-over is performed preferentially. Thereby, an increase in power consumption of the mobile terminal is prevented.
