Patent number: 9811161Abstract: A device for improving readability of content displayed to a viewer is provided. The device has a screen for displaying the content, a motion sensor for measuring a displacement, and an eye tracker for measuring a change in gaze of the viewer when gazing at the screen. The device is operative to adjust the displayed content so as to improve its readability in response to determining that the change in gaze and the displacement of the device are out-of-sync. The out-of-sync condition may be determined by deriving a phase difference between the measured change in gaze and the measure displacement of the device, and comparing the derived phase difference to a threshold value. The displayed content is adjusted by at least one of increasing a font size of displayed text, enlarging one or more displayed graphical objects, and increasing a zoom level of the displayed content.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2016Date of Patent: November 7, 2017Assignee: TELEFONAKTIEBOLAGET LM ERICSSON (PUBL)Inventors: Tomas Jönsson, Tommy Arngren, Stefan Wänstedt, Peter Ökvist

Publication number: 20160269949Abstract: A method in a network node for determining a measure of a downlink interference in a wireless communications network. The downlink interference comprises a first interference in one or more first user equipments in a first cell served by a first base station. The respective interference originates from a second base station when the second base station communicates with one or more second user equipments in a second cell. The network node obtains a first metric representing a count of the second cell as the strongest interfering cell for the one or more first user equipments in the first cell based on a respective information from the one or more first user equipments. The respective information indicates a strongest interfering cell for the respective first user equipment. The network node determines a measure of the downlink interference, based on the first metric.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2013Publication date: September 15, 2016Inventors: Per Burström, Arne Simonsson, Tomas Jönsson, Peter Ökvist

Patent number: 9351132Abstract: The present invention is directed towards providing event-triggered communication in a half duplex communication environment of a wireless communication network (10). A first end terminal (12) sends a selection of an end terminal (14) in a group of terminals to act as an event notifying device to a server (22). The event notifying device (14) compares an event with a threshold and sends an event notifier to the server if the event exceeds the threshold. If it receives the event notifier, the server prioritises data from the event notifying device over ongoing communication sessions for other devices in the group, receives data from the event notifying device associated with the event notifier and transports data indicative of the event to other devices of the group, in order to inform them of the event.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2005Date of Patent: May 24, 2016Assignee: Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (Publ)Inventors: Hans Hannu, Tomas Jönsson, Per Synnergren
