Abstract: A system and method for unified password processing is provided. According to an aspect, a device can receive a unified passcode. The unified passcode can be a passcode for unlocking access to the device, or can be the basis for generating additional passwords or both. The unified passcode can also be used for generating additional passcodes for unlocking additional features of the device. The generated passcodes can also be used for unlocking modules that are connected to a device such as a universal integrated circuit card (UICC). In cases where a generated passcode can be used to unlock a UICC, the generated passcode is converted to a personal identification number (PIN). The mobile interface to the UICC can be extended to include alphanumeric passwords, in addition to PINs.

Abstract: In the current state of the art there are a number of operable devices 11, 12, 13 known that have an operating panel 14 through which a user of the device 11, 12, 13 can produce and/or change-existing operating states, Because of the fact that manual operation is often very complex and can also result in the distraction of the user in situations that require the full the attention of a user to be directed elsewhere, the invention increases the ease of operation and simultaneously reduces the amount of attention required to be paid to the devices 11, 12, 13. The invention uses a decision unit 15 that blocks or releases certain operating states of the operable device 11, 12, 13 based on the data received. The invention can be implemented, for example, so that a mobile telephone 11 installed in a vehicle 10 does not “transfer” any telephone calls or suppresses the making of telephone calls from within the vehicle 10 when the vehicle 10 is moving faster than a certain speed.

Abstract: The invention relates to a controlling arrangement for a music player application in a mobile communication device. To improve the control of the music player, a multifunctional soft button (100) with four switching positions (up, down left and right) and a mode switching arrangement (110) are provided on the keyboard layout (10). The application can be switched in two different modes with the switching arrangement and can be controlled with the multifunctional soft button, the latter having different functionality depending on the mode of the application. Combined functionality of the multifunctional soft button from the first and second mode is also possible. Additional symbols related to the music player functionality are printed in different colors on the multifunctional soft switch.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a mobile communication device having a keyboard and a method for controlling the operation of the keyboard of such a mobile communication device. The keyboard provides a QWERTY styled layout including a keypad similar to a ITU-T keypad. Applications executed on the mobile communication device are adapted to switch an operation mode of the keyboard such that in accordance with a certain expected information input, different assignments of the keys of the keyboard are active. The keyboard operation modes improve the usability of the keyboard and allow the number of total keys for operating the mobile communication device to be reduced resulting in lowered cost of manufacture.

Abstract: Electronic organiser (10) with a calendar (11) in which appointments at least according to date, time and an individual description, for example a person to be visited, are variable. If the organiser (10) is provided with an interface (22) which can exchange data in respect of the appointments with an interface (22) existing on another device (21), the data recorded in the calendar (11) can be used to run the other device or the electronic organiser (10) can be controlled by the other device. Thus for example data recorded in the calendar (11) can be used by a navigation system for faster input of the destination, or for example departure appointments can be changed by the other device according to the traffic or other situations.

Abstract: The invention relates to a mobile communication device including a music player and a method of its operation. In order to improve the usability and to speed the controlling of the implemented music player, a advantageous keyboard layout including a multiple switch is provided. The multiple switch is dedicated to control device applications as well as the music player. Therefore, a mode selector is additionally included to switch the into different input mode allowing to input commands by the multiple switch dedicated to the device applications or the music player, respectively, corresponding to the selected input mode. Additionally, the coloring of the symbol printing on the multiple switch and the mode selector is adapted to the key assignments corresponding to the different input mode to height the visible differentiation from the balance of the keyboard and to lead a user operating the multiple switch.

Abstract: The invention relates to a navigation system, a terminal and a processing device for a navigation system, as well as a method for displaying navigation icons on display means of a terminal. In order to make efficient use of the storage space in the terminal and to allow flexible display of navigation icons, the storage of partial graphics in the terminal is proposed, with navigation icons being able to be composed from said partial graphics. To display a currently suitable navigation icon, the required partial graphics are then selected and composed to form the navigation icon. A processing device according to the invention is able to provide information which makes it possible for the terminal to determine the required partial graphics. The invention also relates to a module for a terminal or for a processing device comprising respective processing means.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a navigation system for guiding users, in particular drivers of vehicles, to a destination having a route computer (10) which determines a route, in particular a driving route, from a starting position and to a destination position and transmits it to a destination guidance unit (15) which in accordance with the route or driving route determined issues guidance directions to the user as a function of the user's current position at the time and having a user identification unit (17) which transmits a user identification signal designating the user is question to a destination input unit (11) which from current time and user position data and from user-specific information establishes a destination position for the determination of a route, in particular a driving route.
