Method for arranging voice feedback to a digital wireless terminal device and corresponding terminal device, server and software to implement the method

Abstract: In one exemplary embodiment of the invention, a method is provided for arranging voice feedback to a digital wireless terminal device, which includes a voice-assisted user interface (Voice UI), wherein the terminal device gives a voice feedback corresponding to its state. The terminal device includes memory devices (PPM) for storing the voice feedbacks. In the method, the following stages take place to arrange the voice feedback in connection with the terminal device: one or more voice feedbacks are generated, the generated voice feedbacks are converted into a digital form, the digitalized voice feedbacks are edited with chosen algorithms (ACELP) in order to reduce their file size, and the edited voice feedbacks are stored in a memory (PPM) arranged in connection with the terminal device.

Hand Gesture Recognition Research Based on Surface EMG Sensors and 2D-accelerometers

Abstract: For realizing multi-DOF interfaces in wearable computer system, accelerometers and surface EMG sensors are used synchronously to detect hand movement information for multiple hand gesture recognition. Experiments were designed to collect gesture data with both sensing techniques to compare their performance in the recognition of various wrist and finger gestures. Recognition tests were run using different subsets of information: accelerometer and sEMG data separately and combined sensor data. Experimental results show that the combination of sEMG sensors and accelerometers achieved 5-10% improvement in the recognition accuracies for hand gestures when compared to that obtained using sEMG sensors solely.

A method for optimising handover between communication networks

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for ensuring continuity of a communication session when a user equipment (100) hands over from a first communication network (A) to a second cellular communication network (B) comprising the steps of performing an authentication procedure for a packet data session with the second network whilst still being attached to the first network and simultaneously performing a packet data session establishment procedure with the second network whilst still being attached to the first network.

DRiVE-ing to the Internet: Dynamic Radio for IP services in Vehicular Environments

Abstract: The European Union funded DRiVE project (Dynamic Radio for IP Services in Vehicular Environments) aims at enabling spectrum-efficient high-quality wireless IP communication in a heterogeneous multi-radio environment to deliver in-vehicle multimedia services. Key issues are spectrum efficiency and dynamic spectrum allocation within different radio networks, the IPv6 based network infrastructure with inter-working of cellular and broadcast radio networks, as well as adaptive services for the vehicular environment with a high degree of mobility. The paper gives a general overview of the DRiVE project and focuses on the network architecture for IP over multi-radio access networks and traffic control aspects within the emerging "DRiVE" network.

Input on touch based user interfaces

Abstract: A user interface for use with a device having a display and a controller, the controller being configured to receive touch input representing a slide-in gesture and in response thereto switch input mode, wherein the input mode is one of DIRECT, in which mode touch input is interpreted to be direct actions, or HOVER, in which touch input is interpreted to be hover actions.
