Abstract: The input of words into a text string in a communication terminal is handled by recording a key stroke sequence inputted for characterising one of said words, and comparing said key strokes sequence with candidates in a word completion directory in order to find word completion candidates matching said key stroke sequence. One of said matching word completion candidates is displayed in the display for selection by the user. When the user selects a word which exceeds a first predetermined number of characters the selected word is added to the directory including a plurality of word completion candidates, if the selected word is not present there already.

Abstract: In a mobile communication terminal, message content and recipient information is received input from a user during a message creation process. After receiving a triggering signal indicating an end of the message creation process, the message content and the recipient information is analyzed. The analysis results in a indication of a most suitable transmission service for transmitting the message content to the recipient. Then the message content is transmitted via the most suitable message transmission service.

Abstract: The present invention is a method for providing a best guess for a recipient of a message. The method includes identifying a pattern in the message; searching for the pattern in a pattern list comprising one or more patterns for each addressee in an address list; registering an addressee in a hit list when the pattern is in the pattern list; and determining a first addressee from the hit list and providing the first addressee as a best guess as a recipient of the message.

Abstract: A method of providing access to network addresses for use in a mobile telecommunications device allowing navigation between different addresses and displaying of information therefrom, comprises compiling a first list of addresses bookmarked by a user and then compiling a second list of bookmarks selected on the basis of previous access by the user to said addresses via said first list. The second list may comprise the bookmarked addresses accessed most recently by the user, which will often be those most frequently used. However, the second list may instead comprise the addresses most frequently accessed by the user. The list may further contain entries corresponding to network addresses accessed by the user typing in the address. The provision of a second, selective list of addresses allows a user to access a favourite network address without scrolling through large numbers of bookmarks.

Further, a mobile communication apparatus including a text-to-speech generator for generating synthetic speech corresponding to a message text; a short audio messaging generator for inserting the synthetic speech into a short audio message; and a transmitter for sending the short audio message is disclosed.

Abstract: A communication terminal having a user interface, and comprising a controller unit controlling said user interface, a first and a second operation key whose operation is controlled by the controller unit, and a display. The communication terminal being capable of assuming a plurality of states in which the groups of predetermined operations that may be performed by pressing said operation key are defined by the controller unit in said plurality of states. The first operation key is dedicated by the controller unit to perform one operation from said group of operations as a default function in dependence of the state assumed by the communication terminal, and the display has a first area solely dedicated for displaying the present operation performed when pressing said first operation key. The second operation key being dedicated by the controller unit to give access to said group of operations being available in the state assumed by the communication terminal.

Abstract: A method of uploading data to a server 9n the Internet using a browser application. The browser application interprets received mark-up data identifying a first server for data upload and provides at least a first user selectable option for upload of pre-recorded data and a second user selectable option for upload of contemporaneous data. In response to user selection of the first option, the browser application enables the user selection and upload of pre-recorded data to the first server. (n response to user selection of the second option, the browser), D application enables the capture and upload of contemporaneous second data.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method, system and communication terminal for utilising a MMS format for user interfaces for applications such as running animations or audio-recordings, or such as showing screen images guiding an operator through a specific menu sequence.

Abstract: A cellular telecommunications network provides a location information service. A landmark location server (11) has an associated data store (12) of data concerning location information associated with individual cells of the network. The server (11) is responsive to a request for location information from a mobile station (MS1). The request is sent as a SMS through the network (PLMN1). The server (11) obtains location information from the data store (12) based on the cell (C1) occupied by MS1 or another mobile station (MS2). The network is configured to send the location information as a SMS to the mobile station (MS1) that requested the information, without having to pre-register the mobile station for the location information service.

Abstract: A mobile telephone terminal provides a user with a selectable option to transfer a telephone call to an instant messaging session and to transfer an instant messaging session to a telephone call. A presence attribute indicator for a first party is displayed, in a mobile telephone application, with an entry associated with the telephone number of the first party. A user, while displaying an entry for a party in a mobile telephone application, has a selectable option for initiating instant messaging with the party. The mobile telephone provides a customised menu of selectable options for initiating communication. The menu is dependent upon received presence attribute information. A calendar application can store the content of an instant messaging dialaogue in an appointment record.

Abstract: The present invention is a method for providing a best guess for a recipient of a message. The method includes identifying a pattern in the message; searching for the pattern in a pattern list comprising one or more patterns for each addressee in an address list; registering an addressee in a hit list when the pattern is in the pattern list; and determining a first addressee from the hit list and providing the first addressee as a best guess as a recipient of the message.

Abstract: A method for providing an international telecommunication number comprising a plurality of digits corresponding to at least a country code, from a mobile telecommunication terminal to a base station, is disclosed. The method comprises receiving a plurality of digits in a control unit in the mobile telecommunication terminal, said digits identifying a subscriber terminal in a telecommunication network, and determining if one or more of the plurality of digits correspond to a country code. If the one or more of the plurality of digits do not correspond to a country code, an international telecommunication number is created by adding a country code to the plurality of digits, whereupon the international telecommunication number is transferred to the base station.
