  • Patent number: 9704013
    Abstract: A display and finger print reader assembly for an electronic device includes a display having an arrangement of light emitting pixels, a light guide juxtaposed the arrangement of pixels of the display, and light sensors disposed at different locations around a periphery of the light guide. Light is sequentially emitted from the pixels to illuminate a user's finger that is placed against the display and finger print reader assembly. The emitted light that is reflected by the user's finger propagates in the light guide to one or more of the light sensors and indicates a fingerprint characteristic of a portion of the user's finger adjacent the pixel or pixels from which the light is emitted.

  • Patent number: 8208010
    Abstract: Methods for adjusting a picture of an object captured by a camera in a mobile radio communication terminal include defining a first camera angle relative to the object and capturing an image of the object by means of the camera from a second camera angle relative to the object. The second camera angle is offset from the first camera angle. The methods further include storing image data relating to the captured image, and generating an angularly adjusted image of the object in response to the image data and an angular relation between the first camera angle and the second camera angle. Corresponding mobile radio communication terminals are also disclosed. The terminals include an image processing system configured to process an image of an object captured by a camera from a second camera angle by generating an angularly adjusted image of the object in response to image data for the image, and in response to an angular relation between the second camera angle and a first camera angle.

  • Patent number: 7513700
    Abstract: A method for providing positioning information related to image information presentation for a portable communication device, includes providing first image information to be presented (202), obtaining the first image information by the portable communication device under control of the user of the portable communication device, registering second image information by the camera of the portable communication device (206) and mapping presented first image information and registered second image information (208). The method may also include recognizing at least one image element of the presented first image information as being included in the registered second image information (210) and determining the position of a predefined area of the registered second image information in relation to the recognized at least one image element (212). The determined relative position of the predefined area may be used for controlling purposes of the first image information being presented.

  • Publication number: 20070178933
    Abstract: The invention relates to setting up of a communication link from a mobile device to a wireless network. In a scenario where a number of different networks are accessible, the network once selected for connection is stored as a preferred selection, and is thereafter automatically selected for a subsequent scenario in which the same combination of networks is detected as being accessible. A connection link to the preferred network may then be automatically setup upon detection of the previously detected combination of networks, or actual setup of the connection may be activated upon a simple connection command from a user.

  • Publication number: 20070110011
    Abstract: A mobile communication apparatus and methods for operation in a wireless local area network. The mobile communication apparatus is equipped with a transceiver for communication of data intended for the mobile communication apparatus. Furthermore, the mobile communication apparatus comprises a repeater. The repeater is adapted to receive a data packet received by the transceiver, wherein the data packet is intended for another communication device, and forward the data packet via the transceiver to the communication device. Providing a repeater in the mobile communication apparatus may allow for the first communication device to connect wirelessly to the second communication device via the mobile communication apparatus, even though the first and the second communication devices are out-of-range for direct communication.

  • Patent number: 6751484
    Abstract: A portable communication used in a mobile communications network has a transceiver device for providing a first wireless communication link to the mobile communications network. It also has visual indicator adapted to emit a first visible light signal, within a first predetermined spectral range, for indicating a status of the first wireless communication link. The transceiver device also provides a second wireless communication link to equipment other than the mobile communications network. The visual indicator emits a second visible signal for indicating a status of the second wireless communication link. This second visible light signal is provided in a second spectral range, which is different from the first spectral range.
