Abstract: A method of and device for predicting the power consumption of a battery-powered mobile terminal (15) used for carrying out a sequence of user activities. Each user activity involves an interaction with the terminal and each user activity causes one or more terminal activities involving power consumption of the terminal. The method comprises the steps of: —determining (4), for each user activity, which terminal activities it causes, —carrying out (6) a series of user activities (2a, . . . , 2m), the terminal activities (Ia . . .

Abstract: The present application discloses an apparatus, system and method for reducing the time required for transmitting a multimedia message from any sender to any addressee and thus generally cut the cost of the multimedia message service.

Abstract: During the transmission of subscriber-specific data, particularly via a transfer medium and according to a transmission principle based on time slot transmission with time slot separation, the transfer medium used by several subscribers can also be efficiently used when the data rates of the data transmitted in the transmission direction (SRI) and the reception direction (ERI) for at least one subscriber using the transmission are differently, i.e. asymmetrically distributed. To this end, the data to be transmitted for each subscriber are transmitted, as in the case of a symmetric data distribution, in at least two time slots (ZS) per a periodically returning time frame (ZR, ZR1, ZR6) and corresponding to the asymmetrical distribution of the ratio of a number of transmission data packets (SDP) to reception data packets (EDP) in a plurality n half time frame of the time frame (ZR, ZR1 ZR6) with n being greater or equal to 2 or ? N.

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.

Abstract: A method is provided for transmitting notification messages for submission of multimedia messages to telecommunications devices embodied as multimedia message sinks, wherein to reduce the effort involved in transmitting notification messages and the associated administration effort in an entity sending the notification message on submission of multimedia messages to telecommunications devices embodied as multimedia message sinks independently of their multimedia capabilities, a service center responsible for sending the notification messages transmits on submission of multimedia messages in a notification message a first notification information which is preferably binary coded, and a second notification information which is preferably embodied as text information, uniformly to different variants of telecommunications devices as regards their multimedia capabilities.

Abstract: A multimedia message service center and telecommunication device for accessing deposited multimedia messages. The forwarding and receipt of multimedia messages transmitted in networks that are configured for the Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) independent of the communication between the networks and the infrastructure and the topology of the respective network from any transmitter to any addressee. A dial-in information (EWI) is indirectly or directly sent to the telecommunication device in addition to a communication message (MN) sent indirectly or directly e.g. via a short message center and/or an additional multimedia message center to the telecommunication device (ETKG) in response to a multimedia message (MMN) destined for a telecommunication device (ETKG) and deposited in the multimedia message center (MMNDZ). This dial-in information (EWI) tells the telecommunication device where to dial in to be able to access the multimedia message (MMN) addressed to the telecommunication device.

Abstract: The present invention seeks to improve the downloading of downloadable information content that is directly or indirectly available in a service center (SZ), using a telecommunications device (TKG) to guarantee in a simple manner that the person initiating the download process bears the cost of the downloaded information content and that the service center (SZ) does not necessarily have to know or determine the subscriber's number of such person in order to transmit the information content. To achieve this, the information content is both requested from the service center (SZ), together with a first service message (SN1), in a first session (SI1) and is delivered by the service center (SZ), together with at least one second service message (SN2), in a second session (S12) via a single telecommunications like (TKV) that is set up between the telecommunications device (TKG) and the service center (SZ), without having to set up an additional telecommunications link, as is the case in prior art.
