  • Patent number: 7627313
    Abstract: In order to achieve simple, user-friendly “smart home” scenarios in a telecommunications system in the context of the transmission of textual, audio, video and/or control data between a data source and a data sink, a mobile element of the telecommunications system generates control commands and transmits the latter in a target manner in message traffic between the units that form part of the wireless communication or telecommunication process via the air interface. The mobile element is preferably configured as a cordless telephone handset or a mobile telephone. Textual, audio, video and/or control data that has been stored in the data source is detected, issued, released or externally transferred to a data sink or issued to a data source with the aid of the control commands.

  • Patent number: 7454793
    Abstract: A method is provided for controlling the opening of the representation of electronic data on mobile electronic communication devices, whereby the access to data occurs depending on opening characters which can arise interactively on the same or different mobile communication terminals. Data access thus can be modeled according to a set of rules, corresponding to the usual handling of physical, concrete collectable and exchangeable objects or to the behavior of the natural population.

  • Patent number: 6978140
    Abstract: A communication system and associated method are provided, wherein a quality of service is detected in the communication system, coordination reorganization is performed in order to reorganize coordination functionalities for available stations in the communication system, the previous two steps are repeated for various coordination organizations in the communication system, the various qualities of service detected in the various coordination organizations are analyzed, and a coordination organization is selected on the basis of this analysis, whereupon communication is affected with an external communication system which uses the same transmission medium as the communication system.

  • Publication number: 20040259603
    Abstract: A transmission facility (UE) for the transmission of information via power supply lines (EV) is integrated into the charging device (L) for mobile communication devices (M). Personal computers (PC) connected to these power supply lines (EV) can gain access to other networks such as local or broadband networks (LAN, WAN) via the inserted mobile communication device (M). The integration means that essential components of the charging device (L) have multiple applications and access overall is realized cost effectively.

  • Publication number: 20040177268
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling the opening of the representation of electronic data on mobile electronic communication devices, whereby the access to data occurs depending on opening characters and said characters can arise interactively on the same or different mobile communication terminals. Data access can thus be modelled according to a set of rules, corresponding to the usual handling of physical, concrete collectable and exchangeable objects or to the behaviour of the natural population.

  • Patent number: 6766170
    Abstract: A method for the radio coverage of a mobile terminal of a mobile radio network in the catchment area of an intermediate station which is used as a converter, wherein: in the case of an existing connection between the mobile radio network and the mobile terminal, a connection is first set up on an internal frequency and the connection is then handled via the intermediate station; in the case of an existent connection from a mobile terminal via an intermediate station to the mobile radio network, the intermediate station will hand over the connection to the mobile terminal again directly to the mobile radio network when the mobile terminal is removed from the internal area of reception; and in the case of a new setting-up of a connection from the mobile terminal to the mobile radio network, for setting up the connection, the mobile terminal first, or after an unsuccessful connection set-up attempt with a mobile radio frequency, attempts to establish connection to an intermediate station on an internal frequency

  • Patent number: 6684079
    Abstract: A method for disturbance-free operation of at least two base stations working according to the CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) principle in a universal mobile telecommunications system, preferably in-house base stations, with partially overlapping radio fields relative to one another and/or with respect to a telecommunications radio cell network, wherein, the base stations transmit the communications information using the CDMA multiple access method, at least two participating stations carry out an autosynchronization procedure for the purpose of eliminating disturbing interferences on account of the overlapping radio fields and identical transmission frequency, chip synchronism being produced as a result and, consequently, good reception of the orthogonal codes, i.e. good subscriber separation of the multiple access method, is ensured.

  • Publication number: 20030002119
    Abstract: A communication module includes several parallel transmitting diodes and at least one monitor transmitting diode arranged on a common substrate. The module also includes at least one monitor device consisting of a monitor transmitting diode, a receiving device and a control device. A modulated optical signal generated by a monitor transmitting diode is detected by a receiver device, and is converted and transmitted as a monitor signal to the control device. Depending on the transmitted signal, the control device generates a first control signal for the driver device with the purpose of regulating the modulation flow of the transmitting diodes and the monitor transmitting diode. The modulation amplitude for the modulation stream for the monitor transmitting diodes is lower than the modulation amplitude of the modulation stream for the transmitting diodes. The disturbing influence of the monitor signal on the data signal of the transmitting diodes is thereby minimized.
