  • Patent number: 11584268
    Abstract: A display unit in a motor vehicle presents information to a first user located in a personnel site. A frame carries the personnel site and a suspension system between the frame and the personnel site has at least one adjustable suspension characteristic. While the motor vehicle is being operated, a control system repeatedly determines a first gaze point of the first user on the display unit. Variations in a position for the first gaze point over time are analyzed; and in response thereto, the control system generates a first control signal to the suspension system so as to reduce a fluctuation of the position for the first gaze point, if a repositioning of the first gaze point is out of synchronization with a displacement of the display unit.

  • Patent number: 11356832
    Abstract: A method for enabling Mission Critical Push to Talk (MCPTT) services in a telecommunications network is presented. The method is performed by a mobile terminal (MT) and incudes receiving an imminent peril or emergency MCPTT call from at least one other MT, the call indicating an emergency state for the at least one other MT, determining a number of MTs indicating an emergency state, and raising an MCPTT emergency alert if the determined number of MTs indicating an emergency state exceeds a threshold. An MT, an escalation server, a computer program, and a computer program product are also presented.

  • Patent number: 11330393
    Abstract: Method performed by a first communication device operating in a wireless communications network. The wireless communications network comprises a group of communication devices. The first communication device determines that a number of communication devices, comprised in the group of communication devices, having reported that data about a position of a second communication device comprised in the group of communication devices has not been received within a time period, is above a threshold. The first communication device then initiates transmitting an indication to at least one receiving device, indicating a result of the determination. Also disclosed is a method by a third communication device comprised in the group. The third communication device starts a timer defining the time period and, in the absence of the data received within the period, sends a notification of expiration of the timer.

  • Publication number: 20190366889
    Abstract: A display unit (150) in a motor vehicle (100) presents information to a first (110) located in a personnel site (120). A frame (130) carries the personnel site (120) and a suspension system (141) between the frame (130) and the personnel site (120) has at least one adjustable suspension characteristic (F). While the motor vehicle (100) is being operated, a control system (157) repeatedly determines a first gaze point (GP1) of the first user (110) on the display unit (150). Variations in a position for the first gaze point (GP1) overtime are analyzed; and in response thereto, the control system (157) generates a first control signal (C1) to the suspension system (141, 142, 143) so as to reduce a fluctuation of the position for the first gaze point (GP1), if a repositioning of the first gaze point (GP1) is out of synchronization with a displacement of the display unit (150).

  • Patent number: 10425914
    Abstract: A method performed by a network node for deciding a probability that a first User Equipment, UE, is located in a building is provided. The network node, the first UE and one or more second UEs operate in a wireless communications network. The network node learns that one or more second UEs are associated to a respective subscription comprised in a group of subscriptions related to the building. The one or more second UEs are decided to be located in said building. The network node identifies cell relation metrics, which relate to the building, for the one or more second UEs associated to the group of subscriptions. The network node then decides the probability that the first UE is located in the building, based on to what extent a cell relation metric of the first UE matches the identified cell relation metrics for the one or more second UEs.
