Abstract: A life management system receives data from a client device worn by a user, the data comprising biotelemetry data and activity data collected about a user wearing the client device. The life management system generates snapshot information using information from a group consisting of: the biotelemetry data, activity data, social data associated with the user, and user profile information associated with the user. The life management system generates a recommendation using portions of the snapshot information, and updates the snapshot information with the recommendation. The life management system executes a recommendation associated with the snapshot information in accordance with the user controls associated with the user.

Abstract: A method for controlling a display includes segmenting the display; assigning an importance level to at least one of the segments; and selectively setting the luminance of said segment in dependence on its importance level.

Abstract: A method for controlling a display is disclosed, the method comprising: segmenting the display; assigning an importance level to at least one of the segments; and selectively setting the luminance of said segment in dependence on its importance level.

Abstract: An intelligent wristband system is disclosed, the system comprising a wearable wristband configured to be worn by a user; a control unit within the wristband; and a sensor configured to detect at least one gesture made by the user, the at least one gesture indicating instructions to be performed by the control unit, the control unit configured translate the at least one gesture into a specific command for an action to occur within the wristband system.

Abstract: A wearable device for providing alert signals to a user is adapted to be secured adjacent the skin of the user and comprises a controller adapted to receive an alert instruction corresponding to an alert event, and at least one electrode arranged to be in contact with the skin in use of the device for providing an alert stimulus in the form of a mild electric shock. The controller is arranged to actuate the electrode(s) to supply an alert signal corresponding to the alert instruction by selecting one of a plurality of alert signals in dependence upon the event.

Abstract: A system and method for managing a calendar, comprising means for determining parameters associated with existing appointments, means for receiving user data relating to a user of the calendar and means for scheduling a new activity for a user in dependence on said user data and said parameters.

Abstract: A system and method of processing information relating to a user state, the method comprising determining a state of a user and affecting one or more elements external to the user in dependence on the user state, wherein the user state is determined from user biometric data in combination with user online activity.

Abstract: The invention relates to user equipment for recording data within the user equipment is provided. The user equipment includes a receiving unit to receive application data from a database within the user equipment, which application data is associated with at least one application. The user equipment further includes a monitoring unit arranged to monitor system data of the user equipment, which system data relates to an operation of the user equipment. The user equipment includes a recording unit arranged to record data in a source application of the user equipment, which recorded data includes the system data associated with the received application data.

Abstract: A speech processing system has an arbitrary number of speech recognition modules (Ei, i=1 . . . n) and speech output modules (Aj, j?1 . . . m). The modules provided respectively for a particular type of speech recognition or, respectively, speech output are selected and activated and parameterized according to the situation of application, dependent on an input signal (ES), by a device (MA) for selecting the modules, so that the selected modules are applied for speech recognition or, respectively, speech output corresponding to their construction.

Abstract: In a communications system in which an incoming email is received at an email server within a secure domain, the incoming email is copied to a secondary server outside that secure domain. The copy email message can then be retrieved from the secondary server from a remote device outside the secure domain.

Abstract: The invention relates to a wireless communication device (1) comprising at least: a basic unit (2) with at least one keypad or keyboard (6) for using the wireless communication device (1) and controller for locking the keypad (6) of the basic unit, whereby when the keypad (6) of the basic unit is locked, its operation in connection with the wireless communication device (1) is at least partly prevented, an auxiliary unit (3) with at least one keypad or keyboard (15), and link module (11, 17, 58) for connecting the auxiliary unit (3) in a functional connection with the basic unit (2). The wireless communication device (1) comprises further link module and controller (11, 16) for locking the keypad (15) of at least one auxiliary unit arranged in a functional connection with the basic unit (2) simultaneously with locking the keypad (6) of the basic unit, wherein when the keypad (15) of the auxiliary unit is locked, its operation is at least partly prevented.

Abstract: A battery pack (4) comprises a stack of lithium solid state cells (1) and a DC/DC converter (2) in a housing (3), for use in supplying current to an electronic apparatus, e.g. a portable telephone. This provides a stable voltage for operating the electronic apparatus as the cells become progressively more discharged without having to include a DC/DC converter in the apparatus itself. The battery pack (4) can be arranged to supply current directly from the cells (1) as well as via the DC/DC converter (2), and the DC/DC converter (2) can be made voltage controllable to supply different voltages depending upon requirements. Conductive screening around the battery pack can be provided to prevent electromagnetic interference from the DC/DC converter (2).
