  • Patent number: 12052630
    Abstract: Multiple mobile cellular network (MCN) communication systems can be networked together to form a network of MCN communication systems (NOM). Each MCN communication system within the NOM can operate as an independent cellular network to provide communications between user equipment within a covered area. When a UE in one MCN of the NOM moves into a different MCN of the NOM, the corresponding MCN communication systems can handover the UE. The UE can also be handed over between MCN communication systems when the MCN communication systems move.

  • Patent number: 6643585
    Abstract: A road displaying method in a navigation device permits the normal and convenient display of a road name to the user, even though the next road to be traveled or approached is unnamed. In a navigation device operable to guide a vehicle in accordance with a searched guidance route and to display a road name of a next road to be traveled, in a case where the next road to be traveled is not named, a first available road having a road name is determined from the roads included in the guidance route beyond the next road, and the road name of the determined road is displayed.

  • Patent number: 6608639
    Abstract: A method of inputting a place name that reduces the necessary memory capacity for input processing. A name list in which a plurality of names are registered in alphabetical order is prepared. A table is also prepared by storing sequences of n leading characters and data related to each sequence of n leading characters. The data represents information as to whether some of the registered names in the name list have the corresponding sequence of n leading characters. When a user inputs one of the sequences of n leading characters, a processor examines whether registered names in the name list have the same sequence of characters as the input sequence of n characters by referring to the table. If none of the registered names have the same sequence, the processor requests the user input a name again.

  • Patent number: 5918207
    Abstract: A process and system for predictive resource planning to allow a service provider to meet a customer's predicted technical resource requirements. The process involves determining (11) a service provider's technology baseline, determining (12) a customer's technology direction, and storing the data representing the technology baseline and the technology direction in a data base repository. Based on the technology direction of the customer, the customer's technical resource requirements are predicted (13) and stored in the data base repository. The service provider then documents (14) the skill levels of its candidate employees and selects (15) candidates to meet the predicted technical resource requirements.
