Abstract: A mobile data processing device (MT), including a memory, a processing system and a detector system for detecting environmental identifier(s) from the environment. The memory includes at least one application, which defines a set of functions, and one or more plugins. At least one plugin is currently active. The currently active plugin defines operations of the mobile data processing device during execution of the application. The operations defined by the currently active plugin include one or more tasks. At least one task defines a subset of the functions defined by the application, including at least one function for operating the detector system. The plugin further defines an order of execution for the subset of functions. The device enables customized functionality in applications that must be submitted to compliance checking by platform providers.

Abstract: A method of controlling a connection, comprising the steps of forming an indicator at an originating device, transmitting the indicator to an intermediate device, receiving from the intermediate device one or more destination addresses formed on the basis of the indicator, and connecting the originating device to the one or more destination addresses.

Abstract: An electronic device, including a code creator for creating a machine-readable transaction code for identifying an information transaction between the electronic device and a second electronic device, the transaction code including information on a first security document and on one or more first identifiers for uniquely identifying the transaction, and a communication unit for providing the transaction code to be receivable by the second electronic device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of locating a code in an image file, comprising forming an image window from a target comprising a readable code, dividing the image window into sub-windows, analysing for each sub-window whether it constitutes a part of the code by comparing the variation density color of the sub-window with one or more threshold values set for the color, gathering the sub-windows evaluated as constituting a part of the code into a group of sub-windows, and verifying that the gathered group of sub-windows defines a valid code.

Abstract: An apparatus comprising means for processing data representative of an optically readable code, means for detecting, from the data representative of the optically readable code, a timer indicator indicating that the code includes data for implementing a timer on the apparatus, one or more timer parameters, and means for running the timer on the apparatus on the basis of the detected one or more timer parameters.

Abstract: An apparatus comprising means for processing data representative of an optically readable code, means for detecting, from the data representative of the optically readable code, a symbol indicating that the code is a member of a set of codes including at least two optically readable codes, means for collecting, from the data representative of the optically readable code, one or more collection symbols, and means for assessing, on the basis of the collection symbols collected from at least two optically readable codes, if a predetermined collection criterion for finishing the collections is fulfilled.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for handling information in a customer device. The method comprises forming an information recording in the customer device from an external information source in respect of the customer device, forming a delimited information recording from the information recording on the basis of manual or automatic delimitation, and showing one or more resulting information contents associated with the delimited information recording.

Abstract: A cover for a for a book-type article includes a front and a back cover, each of the front and the back cover having an inner and an outer surface, and a spine joining the front and the back cover. The cover also includes flaps extending from outer edges of the front and the back covers and being separated therefrom by groove portions, the flaps being folded along the groove portions substantially parallel to the outer surface of the front and back covers. An outer surface of the flaps is joined to connecting portions of the book-type article such that the inner surface of both the front and the back cover and at least one of an inner surface of the flaps and the connecting portions of the book-type article define an air pocket, the air pocket being closed at outer edges of the front and the back cover and being open toward the spine.
