Abstract: A communication system provides remote care taking of a first user to be cared for by a plurality of second users. The system has a first mobile communication terminal configured for use by the first user to be cared for, and a plurality of second mobile communication terminals for use by the second users. Each second mobile communication terminal is configured to let the respective second user act as a member of a first recipient layer or a member of a second recipient layer. The first mobile communication terminal is configured to allow the first user to select a first element in a user interface of the first mobile communication terminal to cause sending of a first type of remote care taking request message intended for second users being members of the first recipient layer, the first type of request message pertaining to remote care taking of the first user.

Abstract: A telecare-enabled mobile terminal has a controller, a first subscriber identity and a second subscriber identity. At least one mobile network interface provides telecommunication connectivity for the mobile terminal as identified by the first subscriber identity and the second subscriber identity, respectively. The controller is configured to use the first subscriber identity for outbound telecommunication traffic relating to a telecare service provided by a remote telecare provider. The controller is configured to use the second subscriber identity for outbound telecommunication traffic not relating to the telecare service.

Abstract: A method for identifying and performing a vehicle operator computer login to a vehicle computer provided in a vehicle. A device is arranged to request and receive vehicle operator data stored on a data carrier provided for a tachograph comprising a reader for reading the data carrier. The device controls communication of vehicle operator related data to the vehicle computer, wherein the device is arranged to initiate a vehicle operator login procedure of the vehicle computer, in dependence on the data carrier inserted in the tachograph. The invention is also related to a vehicle arrangement, a computer program and a computer program product. The invention solves the problem of providing identification and login of an operator of a vehicle to the vehicle computer in a simplified and secure way. The invention also enables shortened start up/stop times of a vehicle by reducing systems login/logoff time for an operator.

Abstract: Gaskets and wireless terminals with gaskets for sealing a space between sliding members in wireless terminals. The wireless terminals include: (a) a first member; (b) a second member overlying the first member, wherein at least one of the first and second members is configured to slide between open and closed configurations; and (c) a gasket attached to the first and second members, the gasket having an elongate body portion with opposing first and second end portions affixed to a respective one of the first and second members. The gasket is configured to provide an electrical path between at least one component in the first member to at least one component in the second member. The elongate body portion is configured to snugly abut the first and second members to inhibit dust from entering a target interior space when the wireless terminal is in the open configuration.

Abstract: A portable electronic device includes communication circuitry operative to establish a communication over a communication network, an input device for entering at least one user input into the electronic device, and at least one contactless sensor. The contactless sensor is operative to detect at least one of motion or position of the input device relative to the electronic device.

Abstract: A device may include a receiving surface to receive a cleaning device adapted to clean a surface of a lens when the device is proximate to the surface of the lens. The device may further include a mounting surface to moveably support the device on a host surface, where the host surface further supports a lens. The mounting surface may further maintain the device in a first position that maintains the cleaning device proximate to the surface of the lens to remove a foreign object from the surface of the lens, and maintain the device in a second position that maintains the cleaning device away from the surface of the lens to allow the lens to receive optical information related to a subject.
