  • Publication number: 20100050210
    Abstract: A process for using a build to order model to enable factory installation and user setup configuration of integrated mobile television devices for pre-selected mobile TV services. The process pre-configures a receiver (such as a DVB-H type receiver) to quickly tune to the desired DVB-H band/channel and to provide pre-selected application and service information to the customer. Such a process assists a customer to utilize more readily their new integrated mobile television device. In certain embodiments, the process focuses on the DVB-H standard.

  • Publication number: 20070242729
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for ultra-wideband (UWB) secure wireless device pairing. Secure pairing between devices for secure UWB communications is conducted over in-band UWB communications to provide secure pairing without requiring a visual confirmation through a graphical user interface (GUI), in particular, for wireless personal area network (WPAN) communications. The secure in-band pairing of wireless UWB devices over a UWB radio link provides considerable advantages over prior secure pairing techniques.

  • Publication number: 20070239842
    Abstract: The invention provides a system and method for updating a resource to an electronic device. The method provisions a resource to an electronic device by: (a) maintaining the resource at a remote server from the device; and (b) after a triggering event, providing a data transmission to the device containing access information for the resource. The system incorporates the method and comprises: a resource providing information for the device; a server to maintain the resource; a communication link providing the device with access to the resource; a data transmission module for extracting and transmitting access information about the resource to the device; and a data processing module for processing the received information at the device. In the device, a GUI provides information on a topic retrieved from local storage on the device and additional information about the resource is incorporated into the GUI for that topic.

  • Publication number: 20070220618
    Abstract: Network communication cables that provide power, such as Ethernet cables in compliance with the Power over Ethernet standard, are secured so that unauthorized devices are restricted from receiving power. After a PoE connection is established between a powered device (PD) and power source equipment (PSE) over an Ethernet cable, the PD communicates security information to the PSE with low frequency variations in the current drawn by the PD through the Ethernet cable. The PSE terminates power to the PD if the PD fails to communicate the security information in a predetermined time period or if the security information fails to match authorized security information. Alternatively, the PSE generates an unauthorized device message for presentation at the network if the security information fails to match the authorized security information.
