Patent number: 6909904Abstract: An apparatus and method for extending the functionality of a message according to a predetermined message format, such as the Short Message Service (SMS) format, communicated at least in part via a wireless communication system, the method including the steps of: determining a number of bits to be used for conveying extension data indicating instructions associated with displaying the message; defining the information to be conveyed by each bit; and inserting the extension data into the message at the end of a user data field of the message. The method thus provides an extension to the messaging according to the predetermined format, an extension that is effective for mobile terminals adapted to interpret the extension data but that does not prevent mobile terminals not so adapted from displaying the message without regard for the instructions indicated by the extension data.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2001Date of Patent: June 21, 2005Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Johannes Lehto, Kimmo Hämynen

Patent number: 6889062Abstract: A wireless terminal (and associated method) for communicating pictures via a wireless communication system. The pictures can be either maintained in the wireless terminal in galleries, each gallery including typically up to eight pictures, or the pictures can be stand-alone pictures. When maintained in galleries and stored in non-volatile memory of the wireless terminal, in an electronic folder, the pictures are termed clip-art pictures. The invention allows sending an entire gallery at a time as, among other formats, a single so-called Graphical Messaging System (GMS) picture (18×72 pixels). The invention also allows sending individual clip-art pictures in a message including text, actually in-line with the text of the message or indicating where in the text the clip-art pictures would appear in a wireless terminal adapted to the invention. In addition, the invention provides a picture editor allowing a user to create or edit either a clip-art or a standalone picture.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2001Date of Patent: May 3, 2005Assignee: Nokia CorporationInventors: Kimmo Hämynen, Johannes Lehto, Jim Lundin, Yi-Hong Zhu, Anna Karri, Kevin McCarthy

Publication number: 20050021851Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for facilitating browsing sessions on a mobile terminal using directional control input using joystick, voice, or acceleration/tilt command input. Navigation between Web pages and menus is conducted by pre-selecting corresponding navigation tabs using directional input and activating the Web pages and menus using activation inputs. Navigation of oversized Web pages is also facilitated by directional control input. A first mode of screen navigation renders the hypertext document into sub-frames, where each sub-frame is accessed using directional navigation commands. A second mode of screen navigation uses a directionally controlled scrolling window to display portions of the hypertext document. Once a Web page, or a portion of a Web page is activated, interaction with the Web page content is facilitated through directional control input.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 9, 2003Publication date: January 27, 2005Inventor: Kimmo Hamynen
