  • Patent number: 9411482
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for visualizing user interfaces. In one aspect, a method includes presenting a user interface visualization for an application. The application is configured to perform functions and present a graphical user interface including user interface elements to access the functions. Presenting the user interface visualization for the application includes selecting a group of related functions and presenting a graphical representation for each related function. The graphical representations for the related functions are presented in proximity to each other, and the graphical representations are presented differently than the user interface elements for the related functions are presented by the graphical user interface of the application.

  • Publication number: 20140362397
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a Messaging Service system which includes one or more Messaging Service terminals and a control means being adapted for communication with a printing means. The Messaging Service terminal is adapted to send a message to the control means, which message contains a print-related information section and a message content section representing the message content. The print-related information section contains print-related information and designates the delivery of the message content section to the printing means or to a second Messaging Service terminal. The system is preferably implemented as a Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) system. The message content section may represent one or more images.

  • Patent number: 7295854
    Abstract: A method, a system and a network element for controlling the transmission of a message to be transmitted point-to-multipoint in a mobile communication system. In order to take the topicality of the content of the message to be transmitted point-to-multipoint into account, a life time is determined for the message in the method and the message waiting to be transmitted is deleted from the buffer in response to the expiry of the life time.

  • Patent number: 7142842
    Abstract: A method, system, and device for providing access to network-based services by analyzing a symbol associated with a network service. A representation of a symbol associated with a network service is captured. For example, a graphic symbol associated with a network-connected business may be captured using a mobile telephone equipped with a camera. The symbol may depict a business logo or any other symbol associated with the network service. The representation of the symbol is analyzed by comparing the symbol to a library of ideal symbols. Each ideal symbol is associated with a network address of the network service. If the representation of the symbol matches an ideal symbol, the network address associated with the ideal symbol is used to access the network-based service.

  • Publication number: 20050242480
    Abstract: A bush assembly is seated in a housing, having an outer sleeve (10), an inner tube (12) and a resilient body (14) connecting the inner tube (12) and the outer sleeve (10). The outer sleeve (10) has projections (20) from its outer surface that abut the inner surface of the housing (40) and cause local deformations on the sleeve around the projections (20). The local deformations around the projections (20) cause the radial gap (16) between the inner tube (12) and the outer sleeve (10) to change circumferentially and thus bush has different radial stiffness in different directions.

  • Patent number: 6956832
    Abstract: A method and a wireless telecommunications system, a message service center and a mobile station implementing the method for transmitting messages between a mobile station and a second party. The method of the invention includes delivering messages irrespective of the presentation thereof: delivering messages through the same message service center irrespective of the content type and employing the same protocol between the terminal and the message service center for all messages. The content type indicates the presentation of the message contents which may include test, speech, images, video images or various combinations thereof.

  • Publication number: 20050181766
    Abstract: Method and device for delivering messages to mobile terminal devices in case of an unsuccessful message delivery attempt to said mobile terminal device from a Store-and-Forward Entity of a mobile communication network. The method comprises the reception of a notification about an unsuccessful delivery attempt of a message, followed by a subscription to a presence service for future notifications of the status of a terminal device. The method and a device is provided for executing a communication attempt following an unsuccessful delivery attempt of a message to a mobile terminal device in a communication network when presence of the terminal device is determined. This invention allows the conventionally necessary multiple delivery attempts to be reduced to just one. The Store-and-Forward Entity does this by subscribing to the presence service in case a failed mobile terminated delivery attempt so that multiple delivery attempts are not performed.

  • Patent number: 6834216
    Abstract: A hardware system is provided for performing angle-to-time and time-to-angle conversions in a dynamic angular measurement and control system. The system has the capability of updating scheduled event times of other hardware timers in the system that are being used to generate output events at some specific angular position in the future. One application of the system is in automotive powertrain control systems in which the position of the engine is determined from a pulsed signal generated by a rotating crankshaft that accelerates and decelerates over time. The system performs critical calculations in hardware which consumes less CPU bandwidth than existing systems, resulting in potential cost savings for the overall system.

  • Publication number: 20040199649
    Abstract: A system and method is provided that allows alternative messaging routes when Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message delivery fails. Automatic retry mechanisms are put into place to automatically retry transmission of a failed SIP message. In one embodiment, a mobile terminal having received a failed SIP delivery message, automatically instantiates a Short Message Service (SMS) message delivery. In another embodiment, a Short Message Service Center (SMSC)/SIP proxy instantiates message retry mechanisms based on a previously configured schedule. A legacy SMS device may also initiate an SMS message to the SMSC/SIP proxy, whereby the SMSC/SIP proxy initiates either SMS or SIP retry mechanisms.
