  • Patent number: 7715820
    Abstract: A method for automatically connecting a call in a mobile station during an emergency situation. In the method a call connection request message including a service identifier previously set for automatic call connection and a password is received. Next, whether the call connection request message is valid is determined using the password included in the received call connection request message. If the call connection request message is valid, devices for outputting an alert signal of the mobile station are turned off, and a response signal for call connection in response to the call connection request message is automatically generated.

  • Patent number: 7099693
    Abstract: A mobile communication terminal and a method for warning a user of a low-voltage state of the terminal. The method includes the steps of pre-storing a low-voltage alarm message in a memory, checking a voltage level of a battery in a call connection mode, and if the voltage level of the battery is lower than a predetermined voltage, reading the low-voltage alarm message from the memory and transmitting the read low-voltage alarm message to a called terminal communicating with the mobile communication terminal. A caller mobile communication terminal can thus inform a called mobile communication terminal that the breaking of a call connection state was caused by a low-voltage state of a battery of the caller terminal.

  • Publication number: 20050179869
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for enhancing performance of a projection system by blocking incident angle light rays without increasing the F-number of the system includes a skew filter having a shaped aperture. The skew filter blocks a substantial portion of the skew light rays while allowing other light rays to pass through the projection system. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or the meaning of the claims.
