  • Patent number: 9270420
    Abstract: A Two-Dimensional (2D) code receiver and transmitter, and methods for their operation in a 2D code communication system, are provided. The method for operating the 2D code receiver includes receiving a sequence of 2D codes from a 2D code transmitter having data encoded therein, wherein the 2D codes of the sequence are received in succession, and decoding the received a sequence of 2D codes into the data.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 16, 2009
    Date of Patent: February 23, 2016
    Assignee: Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.

  • Patent number: 7428415
    Abstract: A method of managing the session information of an AT in a CDMA2000 1xEV-DO system. In the 1xEV-DO system, a service system, having an SC/MM, is connected to a PDSN, a plurality of ANs are connected to the service system, and a plurality of ATs are capable of wireless communication with the ANs. In the session information managing method, an AN transmits to the SC/MM a session retrieve request message, upon receipt of a connection request message from the AT. The SC/MM then searches for session information of the AT and transmits to the AN a session retrieve response message including the session information. Upon receipt of the session retrieve response message, the AN transmits a connection response message to the AT.

  • Patent number: 7346033
    Abstract: A signaling processing method for allocating a UATI (Unicast Access Terminal Identifier) to a given AT (Access Terminal) in a mobile communication system including ANs (Access Networks) each having an BS (Access Network Controller), for communicating by radio with ATs, and at least one DLR (Data Location Register) connected to BSs, for storing a plurality of UATIs, which can be allocated to the ATs, and managing the remaining UATIs that are not allocated. Upon receipt of a UATI Request message from the AT, the BS transmits a UATI Allocate Request message to the DLR. Upon receipt of the UATI Allocate Request message, the DLR allocates one of the remaining UATIs to the AT and transmits a UATI Allocate Response message including the allocated UATI to the BS. Upon receipt of the UATI Allocate Response message, the BS transmits a UATI Allocate message including the allocated UATI to the AT.

  • Patent number: 7336628
    Abstract: A signaling method for transmitting packet data including information indicating an MN ID of one target access terminal (AT) among a plurality of ATs from a packet data service node (PSDN) to the target AT in a mobile communication system including a service system connected to the PDSN and a data location register (DLR), a plurality of access systems each having an access network controller (ANC) connected to the service system, and a plurality of access terminals (ATs) for communicating by radio with the access systems. In the signaling method, upon receipt of a message informing the access system of arrival of the packet data, the access system transmits a Paging Request message to the DLR. Upon receipt of the Paging Request message, the DLR storing location information of the plurality of ATs within areas of the plurality of access systems searches a location of the target AT.
