  • Patent number: 9843569
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for access credential provisioning. A method may include receiving, at a first mobile apparatus, information about a second mobile apparatus. The first mobile apparatus may be provisioned with network access credential information to be transferred from the first mobile apparatus to the second mobile apparatus. The method may further include causing the information about the second mobile apparatus to be provided to a provisioning apparatus for the network. The method may additionally include receiving authorization form the provisioning apparatus to transfer the network access credential information from the first mobile apparatus to the second mobile apparatus. The method may also include, in response to receipt of the authorization, causing the network access credential information to be provided to the second mobile apparatus. A corresponding apparatus is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20170318374
    Abstract: In one example, a headset comprises a microphone; an earpiece that is configured to output audio based on one or more of the following: a first audio signal from a connected host device and associated with an application type and a second audio signal from the microphone, when present; a noise reduction module that is configured to reduce ambient noise; a speech detection module that is configured to detect whether a headset user is talking; a voice pass-through module that is configured to pass external voices captured with the microphone as the second audio signal to the earpiece, when activated; and a controller that is configured to activate the voice pass-through module in response to the speech detection module detecting the headset user talking, when uplink audio is off.

  • Patent number: 9118658
    Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are provided for access credential provisioning. A method may include causing a trusted device identity for a mobile apparatus to be provided to an intermediary apparatus. The intermediary apparatus may serve as an intermediary between the mobile apparatus and a provisioning apparatus for a network. The method may further include receiving, from the intermediary apparatus, network access credential information for the network. The network access credential information may be provisioned to the mobile apparatus by the provisioning apparatus based at least in part on the trusted device identity. Corresponding apparatuses are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20130212541
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method, a device and system for receiving user input. User interface events are first formed from low-level events generated by a user interface input device such as a touch screen. The user interface events are modified by forming information on a modifier 5 for the user interface events such as time and coordinate information. The events and their modifiers are sent to a gesture recognition engine, where gesture information is formed from the user interface events and their modifiers. The gesture information is then used as user input to the apparatus. In other words, the gestures may not be 10 formed directly from the low-level events of the input device. Instead, user interface events are formed from the low-level events, and gestures are then recognized from these user interface events.
