Abstract: Systems and methods described herein are provided for detecting, by an approaching vehicle, that a path is blocked by one or more blocking vehicles and sending a series of negotiation messages to determine if the blocking vehicles are able to move out of the way. Capability and surroundings request messages are sent to each blocking vehicle to determine if each blocking vehicle indicates permission to move to enable the approaching vehicle to move along the path. Blocking vehicles also respond with three-dimensional data of the environment around each blocking vehicle. Feasibility of moving out of the way is determined and if feasible, each blocking vehicle is commanded to move out of the way of the path. The approaching vehicle continues traversing along the path if the blocking vehicles have been moved out of the way.

Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for determining the state of a muscle between a normal non-tired state, a tired state and a passive involuntary tension state. A signal from the muscle is recorded at rest by using an electrode arrangement, where an earth body may prevent the electrodes from picking up signals beyond the extent of the earth body. The frequency content of the signal is determined by spectral analysis, e.g. by computing a moment of the spectrum. A normal frequency content indicates a non-tired muscle state, whereas a low and a high frequency content indicate a tired and a passive involuntary tension muscle state.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems for performing any of generating, adapting, selecting, transferring, and displaying a user interface (UI) in a network are provided. A representative method of generating a user interface on a user interface device for operating a device on a network includes detecting a first predetermined user interaction with the user interface device indicative of a desire to use the user interface device to operate a device on a network, and responsive to detection of the first predetermined user interaction, generating by the user interface device a first user interface, wherein the first user interface is generated at a location relative to the user interface device based on the location of the detected first predetermined user interaction with the user interface device.

Abstract: In order to determine the state of a muscle between a normal non-tired state, a tired state and a passive involuntary tension state, a signal from the muscle is recorded at rest by using an electrode arrangement, where an earth body may prevent the electrodes from picking up signals beyond the extent of the earth body. The frequency content of the signal is determined by spectral analysis, e.g. by computing a moment of the spectrum. A normal frequency content indicates a non-tired muscle state, whereas a low and a high frequency content indicate a tired and a passive involuntary tension muscle state. A mapping is used to improve accuracy of state determination, e.g. with a reference database.

Abstract: A control system is provided based on the use of gestures and functioning especially in mobile terminals. The gesture control system is provided with a general purpose interface with its commands for applications to be controlled. The processing software of the gesture signals includes a training program trained free-form gestures made by the user being stored in the gesture library, and a recognizing program, which matches a gesture made by the user to the stored gestures and chooses the most similar gesture thereof. Gestures can hence be used as commands for controlling any application configured or programmed to receive the command. One and the same application functions in different models of mobile terminals without matching, and in a certain mobile terminal all applications can be run, which applications use specified interface commands. The application can be e.g. a game or activity being included in basic implementation of a mobile terminal.

Abstract: Movement of a living object is measured by a movement sensor carried by one living object at a time for forming one measurement signal per one living object. The measurement signal is compared with a predetermined reference signal which may be measured from a known living object in a similar way. A recognition operation is performed based on the comparison between the measurement signal and the predetermined reference signal, the recognition operation resulting in recognition or non-recognition.

Abstract: System and method for identifying various types of room facilities to find out and take into account space information. A tag of a space (S2) is included in the fluctuation of the intensity of the light emitted by a lamp (LF1) provided in the space in question. The receivers included in the system are arranged e.g. in commercial mobile stations (R1). These are provided with a light detector and with a DSP algorithm that analyses the signal given by said light detector. As a result of the analysis, for instance the mobile station is automatically switched off when entering the space in question. There is neither needed a separate transmitter nor separate energy supply arrangements to send the space tag, and the space tag signal can be detected throughout said space. As regards the mobile station, the space-specific operations can be performed automatically, so that the mobile station user does not need to bother, and his possible negligence does not prevent the precautions from being executed.
