  • Patent number: 10716115
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for controlling a mobile terminal having a first wireless interface for cellular communication in a mobile telecommunications network and a second wireless interface for non-cellular wireless communication, such as wireless local area network (WLAN) communication, in at least one frequency band. In the mobile terminal, the following steps are performed. Information is received from the mobile telecommunications network, and the information is processed. Then, based on an outcome of the processing of the information, the second wireless interface is disabled from wireless communication in at least one frequency band.

  • Patent number: 8698699
    Abstract: A connector comprising a contact arranged to mate with a contact of a corresponding connector, the contact providing a contact point of a first signal path for the transmission of electrical signals through the connector; an electrically-conductive element arranged to engage an electrically-conductive element on the corresponding connector, the electrically conductive-element providing a contact point of a second signal path for the transmission of electrical signals through the connector, wherein the electrically-conductive element comprises one or more of a region of a housing for holding the connector, a region of a locking element, two or more regions of a barrel with an internal connection path aperture, and a region of the contact electrically isolated from a main contact region.

  • Patent number: 7107010
    Abstract: A local services platform including a server subsystem is connected to one or more APs; an application subsystem and provides headset/terminals (HS) with real-time services. A streaming interface is installed between the server and the application. The HS is capable of being activated and paired with a host device, typically a telephone under standard Link Control Protocol. The HS includes an extra button, when operated, causes the host to place the HS in an “idle” mode. During the “idle” mode, the HS listens to AP inquiries or carries out inquiries. When an AP beacon is detected, the HS requests a HOLD state from the paired telephone and receives streaming data after completing a connection to the AP beacon. When the streaming data is in channels, the HS can switch among the channels or end the transmission by operating the idle button.
