Abstract: A wireless headset capable of wireless communication with an external device is provided. The wireless headset includes a status indication unit, which emits one of at least three colors of light, and a control unit which controls the status indication unit. The control unit determines whether the wireless headset is connected to an external power source and controls to light a first color when the wireless headset is connected and a residual battery charge of the wireless headset is at a low level, to light a third color when the wireless headset is connected and the residual battery charge is at a high level, and to blink the first color when the wireless headset is not connected to the external power and the residual battery charge is at the low level.

Abstract: An enhanced wireless headset and battery status indication method is provided for indicating an accurate battery level of a wireless headset. A battery status indication method for a wireless headset determines a residual charge of a battery of the wireless headset and emits light having one of a plurality of colors from a status indication unit of the wireless headset. Each of the plurality of colors indicates a different residual charge of the battery. The wireless headset and battery status indication method also enables indicating whether the wireless headset is operating in charging mode by maintaining or blinking the battery status indication light. In addition, the wireless headset and battery status indication method enables indicating a radio communication status as well as a battery status by blinking the battery status indication light in correspondence with a communication radio scanning cycle.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method, apparatus and system for providing a financial service through a mobile station in a mobile communication network. The system includes the mobile station for reading a barcode, transmitting user authentication data and the barcode, receiving passbook data, and storing and managing the passbook data; the mobile communication network for receiving the user authentication data and the barcode to thereby provide barcode information to a bank server, determining whether to approve the service; the bank server for managing the passbook data, allocating a specific barcode to each automatic machine, providing the location information of the automatic machine, corresponding to the barcode, and providing the mobile station with a banking service; and the automatic machine for receiving the barcode and outputting the received barcode, and providing the banking service through the bank server when the service is approved.

Abstract: In a private wireless communication system and a mobile station (MS) control method using the same, the system informs an MS of its entrance into a private network using a system parameter message broadcast through a paging channel in order to control additional functions of the MS (e.g., a camera function, a MP3 player function, and a USB data communication function), and the MS transmits a registration message to the private wireless communication system through an access channel. The system determines whether the MS is registered in the private network based on the registration message from the MS, and if the MS is registered in the private network, controls the functions of the MS by writing a message for MS function control based on MS control information set in a database, and by and transmitting the MS function control message to the MS.

Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for controlling a function of a mobile phone in a mobile communication system. The method includes the steps of receiving a pilot signal with a Pseudo Noise (PN) code; determining whether the received pilot signal has a predefined PN offset, setting a restriction of a particular function of the user terminal when the pilot signal is a predefined first PN offset; and releasing the restriction of the particular function of the user terminal when the pilot signal is a predefined second PN offset.
