Publication number: 20130208696Abstract: An access network connection controller is disclosed for ordering a mobile terminal to switch from a connection to a first access network to a connection to a second access network in order to ensure that a good connection to the mobile terminal is maintained when the mobile terminal enters an area in which connection to the first access network may be restricted and the second access network may be beneficial. The access network connection controller is operable to receive movement information representative of the movement of the mobile terminal connected to a first access network; to determine from the movement information whether the mobile terminal is approaching a restricted area wherein connection to a second access network may be beneficial and to generate a command ordering the switching of the connection mobile terminal from the first access network to the second access network before the mobile terminal enters the restricted area.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 22, 2010Publication date: August 15, 2013Applicant: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET L M ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Miguel-Angel Garcia Martin, Pablo Martinez De La Cruz

Publication number: 20130165131Abstract: A PUE in communication with an ANDSF server through an access network includes a network interface unit of the PUE from which a registration request is sent to the ANDSF server through the access network and which receives a successful authentication result and a set of configuration instructions from the ANDSF server. The PUE includes a processing unit of the PUE which determines one or more observation triggers from the set of configuration instructions. Upon fulfillment of the observation trigger, the processing unit activates one or more interfaces supported by the PUE, which the set of configuration instructions requires to be monitored. The processing unit determines consolidated areas, wherein each consolidated area includes those geographical points with given network characteristics for one or more accessible networks. The consolidated areas data are stored in the memory and submitted by the network interface unit to the ANDSF server through the access network.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2011Publication date: June 27, 2013Inventors: Miguel Angel Garcia Martin, Pablo Martinez De La Cruz

Publication number: 20110028857Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a system designed to determine an individual's state of attention from an individual's respiratory signal. The method of the invention comprises a first learning step, wherein the characteristics of an individual's normal state are determined by selecting a respiratory signal fragment that is considered to be normal according to a pre-established criterion, and a second analysis phase, wherein the individual's state of attention is determined from parameters extracted from the respiratory signal on the basis of some pre-defined rules and the individual's normal state previously characterised. The method of the invention is implemented in two embodiments. A first embodiment is based on the identification of pre-defined patterns in the respiratory signal and, in the second embodiment, an index indicative of the variability of the respiratory signal is defined.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2010Publication date: February 3, 2011Inventors: Noelia Rodriguez Ibanez, Mireya Fernandez Chimeno, Juan Jose Ramos Castro, Miguel Angel Garcia Gonzalez, Eduard Montseny Masip, Daniel Bande Matinez

Patent number: 7876743Abstract: A method of setting up a session between peer user terminals of a communication system, wherein at least one of the user terminals is a dual-mode terminal having access to both an IP-based packet-switched access network and a circuit-switched access network, and the session extends at least in part across the circuit-switched access network. One of the user terminals initiates the session by sending Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) signaling to a SIP server over the IP-based network. The SIP server sends a notification to a gateway server to establish one or more conversational bearers. The gateway server then sends a callback telephone number to the dual-mode terminal. The dual-mode terminal then calls the callback number to establish a circuit-switched session with the gateway server.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2004Date of Patent: January 25, 2011Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)Inventors: Miguel-Angel Garcia-Martin, Janne Suotula
