A sensor module of the scroll touch sensor can comprise a plurality of electrodes (e.g., 4 capacitive electrodes) arranged in rows and columns to form a matrix and configured to provide Cartesian coordinates.

Abstract: The specification and drawings present a new method, apparatus and software product for combining scrolling with a multi-function key performance in an electronic device. A scrolling multi-function key module can comprise a multi-function key unit and a scroll touch sensor unit having an edge-like sensitive area substantially around the multi-function key unit. This sensitive area can have a shape of an edge (e.g., a circular edge), which completely or partially surrounds the multi-function key unit. A user can provide a key input for the multi-function key thus selecting a predetermined task and a scroll actuating input using a sliding movement of an object on the edge-like sensitive area. In response, the device can provide a scrolling movement of information, corresponding to the predetermined task and to the sliding movement of the object according to a predetermined criterion, on a display of the electronic device.

The method further comprises configuring the service logic in a service specific manner. Furthermore, the method comprises interacting the user equipment with the service in the service specific manner using features of the user equipment. The present invention relates also to a control framework, user equipment and a service portal adapted to embodiments of the invention.

Abstract: Optical character recognition (OCR) is used in conjunction with digital images to recognize characters or text in the image for use in naming the file. An OCR module analyzes the digital image to identify characters. The characters so identified may be used in naming the file for storage in a memory unit. The use of characters to name the file provides a more informative name than default name systems. Thus, a user is able to better locate a specific digital image file based upon its file name.

Abstract: A method of transmitting information based on location data from a cellular mobile network to the display of a mobile station, the display comprising a field for displaying graphic information and the cellular mobile network being arranged in a functional connection with a message generation device. In said message generation device, a message is created comprising a definition of the graphic information to be displayed in the field and a definition of updating said graphic information automatically to said field. A target area is defined for said message, the area comprising at least one cell in the cellular mobile network, whereby the message is transmitted via the cellular mobile network to mobile stations located in said target area. The graphic information comprised by said message is displayed in the field on the display of the mobile station in response to the reception of said message.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for transferring data from a source application to a target application. From the application an operation is traced, from which operation at least one item is extracted. The item is saved in a trace log file, from which it can be selected and transferred into said target application. The operation can be e.g. incoming or outgoing call, where the item is a phone number or a contact card. The invention relates also to a device, to a system and to computer program product.

Abstract: A communication system, method, and apparatus are described for synchronously sharing online documents within a wireless telecommunications network. The system allows a main information center and a mobile terminal to regularly and mutually update important data in synchrony. It also allows real time online document sharing for a mobile terminal with a wireless connection to other terminals. Furthermore, it allows real time online calendar sharing and group calendar sessions.

Abstract: There is provided a method and device for activating a first Bluetooth device through signaling, said method comprising detecting a signal in said first Bluetooth device, said first Bluetooth device being in a sleep mode, said signal being sent from a second device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system for controlling at least a first (3a) and a second remote mailbox (3a, 3b) located in at least one e-mail server (2a, 2b), in a terminal (1). Between the terminal (1) and said e-mail server (2a, 2b) maintaining the first remote mailbox (3a, 3b), and between the terminal (1) and said e-mail server (2a, 2b) maintaining said second remote mailbox (3b), at least partly simultaneous connection (PDP1, PDP2) is arranged to be established, wherein said remote mailboxes (3a, 3b) are arranged to be controlled by means of the terminal (1) substantially simultaneously by means of said connections (PDP1, PDP2).

Abstract: A method and a device for reminding of an unanswered call, in which method a call comes into a mobile phone, the method comprising identifying the telephone number of the caller from the call that comes into the mobile phone in identification means (18), leaving the call unanswered, transferring the information referring to the telephone number of the caller of the unanswered call into a memory unit (20), and reminding the user of the unanswered call at a later point of time.

Abstract: The terminal device according to the invention provides means for connecting said terminal device with telecommunication network for utilizing data based services and means for offering information processing services, such as display (15) and means for data input (15, 16, 17). The user utilizes data processing services, e.g. WWW browser prior known from Internet, without a mouse or any corresponding pointing device. In the terminal device according to the invention the data connection with the telecommunication network is closed in order to save current and cost, when data transfer is not needed. The closing of the data connection is optimized between service speed and current saving. In the terminal device according to the invention the user interface and the use of WWW services are functionally divided into several logical levels.
