Patent number: 8814702Abstract: A method for introducing an object with a unique identifier in a video game. A request to a server to introduce the object is made. An identity of a user of the video game is sent to the server. The server generates a token paired with the identity, embeds the token in a multimedia file, and sends the multimedia file to the video console. The video console reproduces the multimedia file and shows a message to the user so that the user executes an application in a smartphone. The application activates a reader to obtain the unique identifier of the object and activates a sensor element to be able to extract said token associated with the multimedia file. The smartphone sends the unique identifier of the object and the token to the server. The server pairs the unique identifier of the object with the identity of the user by means of the token and sends the unique identifier of the object to the video console to introduce it in the video game.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2013Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: Vodafone IP Licensing LimitedInventors: Ruben Rodriguez Machado, Francisco Javier Rubio Andres, Unai Labirua Iturburu, Lucia Garate Mutiloa

Patent number: 8260210Abstract: Method to determine the existence of interferences in a wireless communication link based on comparing the power received at both links of radio channel and the propagation losses calculated from both power and quality measurements, comprising: (i) gathering values RXLEV_UL and RXLEV_DL; (ii) using said values to estimate the receiver power level in the base station; (iii) statistical analysis of the two different estimations obtained (PRXLEV ULi, and {tilde over (P)}{tilde over (PULi)}) for every connection i in the radio link; (iv) comparing the estimations (PRXLEV ULi and {tilde over (P)}{tilde over (PULi)}) of the uplink received signals strength with the quality parameters RXQUAL_UL and RXQUAL_DL; (v) computing the behavior of the computed values psi and Rsnri, (vi) analyzing the results to detect: (a) steady-state abnormalities; (b) unbalanced interferences; (c) malfunctioning of the power control; and (d) inadequate radio planning.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2010Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Assignee: Vodafone Group PLCInventors: Guillermo Esteve Asensio, Francisco Javier Rubio Andres, Juan Jose Murillo Fuentes, Pablo Martinez Olmos

Publication number: 20110078564Abstract: To generate graphical image strings that graphically represent the full meaning of the content of text messages, a text message containing at least one sentence to be converted into graphical format is first analyzed to identify, for each sentence: the subject; the at least one verb associated with the subject, if any; and the substantives not referring to a person, if any. A graphical representation of the subject is then obtained for each sentence. Likewise a first graphic database is accessed to obtain a graphical representation of the substantives not referring to a person included in each sentence. A modified graphical representation of the subject is then obtained showing the subject performing the action indicated by the at least one associated verb. Finally, these graphical representations are combined into a graphical image string.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2010Publication date: March 31, 2011Inventors: Daniel ALMODÓVAR HERRÁIZ, Francisco Javier RUBIO ANDRES, Miguel Angel TOUSET RIOS
