Abstract: According to the present invention, a method for controlling a mobile terminal device is provided, wherein said device comprises a smartcard module and a near field communication module. In a first operation a smartcard operation on said mobile terminal device is started which results in an activation or switching on of said smartcard module. The smartcard application may be started by a user or based on the location of said mobile terminal device. That is the case for instance if the mobile terminal device is located in the area of a point of sales terminal, the smartcard application will automatically starts. Further, time controlled starting of certain applications is conceivable. Then it may be determined if said started smartcard application is an application for performing data transactions with external entities and in case of an affirmative determination a connection between said smartcard module and said NFC-module will be activated.

Abstract: The invention concerns a control device for an information display including a video sensor for receiving image information a processor for determining control information within said image information, wherein subsequent data transmission between said control device and said information display is dependent upon the origin of the received image information as determined by the control information. In addition, a system, a method and a program product are also targets of the present invention.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided for retrieving and utilizing customized vertical search forms. The customized vertical search forms can be customized by various service providers and stored in a customizable forms service to be made available for use by various entities. The customizable forms service can include a form registry and a customization component registry which can facilitate retrieval of a customized vertical search form by a requesting device, such as a mobile terminal. Once retrieved, the requesting device can utilize the customized vertical search to initiate searches undertaken by a service provider linked to the customized vertical search form.

Abstract: A device, method, and computer program product enhance the use of electronic forms in mobile devices, such as by using a camera image for entering data into an input field of an electronic form. A portion of the camera image may be captured and displayed in the input field of the form. Data from the camera image may be extracted and embedded in the input field. In this regard, a device for using a camera image to enter data in a form comprises a camera element, a display element and a processing element. The camera element may be capable of capturing an image. The processing element may be capable of displaying a form and displaying at least a portion of the image in an input field of the form, and further capable of extracting a data item from the image and embedding the extracted data item in the input field.

Abstract: A method, device and computer program for the active notes application together with an application user interface (UI) is described in which the active notes application running on the mobile terminal is invoked in response to a user action or automatic event. Data entry and action event entry into the active notes application is made by a variety of input devices including proximity and location sensor. The entered data is embedded into an association application for example, contact manager, calendar and phone book running on the mobile terminal. The action is executed with the data specified using the corresponding associated application for the type of action identified whereby the notes are made active.
