Abstract: A stereoscopic image output system includes a stereoscopic vision output unit, an image database storage unit, and an output control unit. The stereoscopic vision is realized by outputting, from the stereoscopic vision output unit, a left-eye image and a right-eye image with parallax such that the left and right-eye images are visually recognized by the left and right eyes, respectively. Left-eye parallel projection data and right-eye parallel projection data are generated by parallel projection of a three-dimensional model using respective projection angles set for the left eye and right eye so as to produce the parallax therebetween, and stored in the database storage unit as two-dimensional drawing data. The output control unit controls an output range of the left and right-eye images. If the output range for the stereoscopic image changes, moving directions of the left-eye image and the right-eye image are individually determined by the output control unit.

Abstract: A method and system for identifying short message service (SMS) spammers identifies senders as spammers by determining that the senders are sending SMS messages to devices included in a grey phone space. Devices in the grey phone space are identified using various methods including an analysis of call detail records. A grey ratio for a sender is determined as a ratio of messages sent to grey phone numbers by the sender to messages sent to all phone numbers by the sender. A sender is identified based on a difference between the grey ratio for the sender and a second grey ratio being above a threshold.

Abstract: A screen display device (200) displays a three-dimensional display screen on which network (NW) devices, links, paths, obstruction points (alarms) are displayed on a map representation. The screen display device (200) defines rungs on the basis of attributes of the devices so that a device of a lower rung (a terminal device in the NW) is placed at a lower position while a device of a higher rung is placed at a higher position on the three-dimensional display screen. Further, for an area where devices are on multiple rungs, the screen display device (200) displays a mark at the area to make the rung height of each device more recognizable. Also, the screen display device (200) provides an indication enclosing devices that form an active system/backup system pair to make it easy to understand whether there is a system that remains normal so that service can be offered.

Abstract: There is proposed a mechanism for controlling communications conducted in multiple frequency bands, in particular for controlling interference caused by intermodulation distortion. When the UE obtains information that an interference caused by an intermodulation distortion produced by a set of first communications performed on at least a first and a second frequency and a second communication performed on a third frequency is present, an indication to the eNB for indicating that an interference situation caused by intermodulation distortion exists. The eNB receiving this indication is enabled to acquire parameters related to the interference situation caused by the intermodulation distortion, and to control, on the basis of the acquired parameters, a communication with the UE by changing communication properties for reducing the interference caused by intermodulation distortion.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention address how trilateration processes, used to obtain a location of a mobile computing device, are affected by physical placement and sub-optimal selection of peer devices (PDs). Embodiments of the invention describe processes for selecting nearest PDs over further PDs, as received signal strength indicator (RSSI) measurements are more reliable—i.e., said “nearest PDs” provide more accurate distance measurements while improving the probability of finding more intersection points. Embodiments of the invention selectively utilize abnormal location poll data when executing location determination processes. Embodiments of the invention further enhance trilateration processes by utilizing dampening values for calculated location poll data.

Abstract: Techniques for pairing two different security modules that use two different encryption technologies for operation in two different networks include generation and transmission of a secret to both the security modules via their respective communication networks. In one advantageous aspect, one of the security module, which may be prone for duplication or theft, is logically tethered to the other security module via the pairing. For example, after pairing is successfully performed, the first security module may be usable in a wide area network only when its presence in a local communication connection, such as a home network of a subscriber, or a peer-to-peer or a near field communication link, can be detected and verified by the second security module.
