Abstract: The present application relates to a method for providing location information of a terminal (30) and in a communication network (10). According to the method, a location information indicating a location of the terminal (30) in the communication network (10) is determined by the terminal (30). Furthermore, a time information indicating a time at which the terminal (30) is located at the location indicated by the location information is determined by the terminal (30). The location information and time information is transmitted by the terminal (30) to a base station (20) or to another terminal (30) of the communication network (10).

Abstract: A method for reducing power consumption of a mobile device comprises determining a link quality of a link for a transmission of data between the mobile device and a receiver and transmitting the data the data in dependence of the determined link quality from the mobile device to the receiver when the determined link quality is sufficiently high to allow a data transmission with a predetermined transmit power by the mobile device.

Abstract: A wireless communications device includes a Personal Area Network (PAN) transceiver that communicates data with a corresponding PAN transceiver disposed in a hands-free visor. The device also includes a short-range transceiver that communicates with a corresponding short-range transceiver in the hands-free visor. Both the wireless communications device and the hands-free device are configured to select which of these transceivers it is to use to transmit data based on predefined criteria.

Abstract: A user device comprising a touch display; one or more memories to store instructions; and one or more processing systems to execute the instructions and cause the touch display to induce a body-coupled signal, in relation to a user of the user device, pertaining to a transmission of data.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for labeling an image recorded by a portable electronic device with descriptive tags is disclosed. Sounds in the vicinity of the portable electronic device are recorded. When the image is captured, the audio record of recorded sounds from a first predetermined period of time prior to the capture of the image until a second predetermined period of time after the capture of the image is retrieved. The retrieved audio record is processed to create a list of recognizable words in the retrieved audio record. The list of recognizable words is then stored in a metatag field associated with the captured image.
