  • Patent number: 6971069
    Abstract: A method and arrangement are disclosed for scrolling between entries in an indexed list as a response to scrolling commands given through the activation of selectors. The indexed list is arranged into sections so that all entries of a section have at least one equally valued indexable property and each section has a first entry. Scrolling (202, 311, 408, 502, 614, 701, 702, 704, 705, 707, 708) to the first entry of a certain section takes place as a response to a first scrolling command, and scrolling (201, 308, 406, 501, 611) from an entry in the indexed list to the immediately adjacent entry in the indexed list takes place as a response to a second scrolling command. The step of scrolling to the first entry of a certain section is executed as a response to a first scrolling command (309, 313, 407, 612, 616) given through the activation of a scrolling selector.

  • Patent number: 6687517
    Abstract: A hands-free unit of a system automatically transmits a first paging signal to page a mobile terminal of at least one user of a first category of users and upon receiving a response signal therefrom, connects the hands-free unit to that mobile terminal. If there's no response signal with a first predetermined time period, a second paging signal is transmitted to page at least one of a second category of users and upon receiving a response signal connects the hands-free unit to that mobile terminal. If there's no response signal with a second predetermined time period, the system awaits a signal from one user of third category of users and upon receiving a signal therefrom, connects the hands-free unit to that mobile terminal.
