Service/device indication with graphical interface

Abstract: The method disclosed gives the user rapid notice of those Bluetooth devices (142) within communication range, and yet it selectively blocks any notice about Bluetooth devices that the user wishes to ignore. Bluetooth server devices (143) can indicate to the user s Bluetooth client device (100) the service the server device has available by sending service/device icon information to Bluetooth client device. This information can be a value in the class-of-device (CoD) field of a frequency hop synchronization (FHS) packet that it sends during the process of exchanging inquiry and paging packets with the Bluetooth client device. If the server device has begun by transmitting an inquiry packet, then the CoD value will be sent in its paging packet. If the server device is responding to an inquiry, then its CoD value will be in its inquiry response packet.

A method for delivering messages in a wireless communications system using the same protocol for all types of messages

Abstract: A method and a wireless telecommunications system, a message service centre and a mobile station implementing the method for transmitting messages between a mobile station and a second party. The method of the invention comprises the following steps for delivering messages irrespective of the presentation thereof: delivering messages through the same message service centre irrespective of the content type, and employing the same protocol between the terminal and the message service centre for all messages. The content type indicates the presentation of the message contents which may include text, speech, images, video images or various combinations thereof.

Advances in D2D communications: Energy efficient service and device discovery radio

Abstract: Device-to-Device communications with automated connectivity to sensors, machines and other users is an important enabler for a multitude of use cases with local social networks as one example. In this paper we focus on the main challenges to build a seamless user experience. In particular, we present a novel device beaconing scheme to facilitate service and device discovery. Moreover, the mechanism enables the exchange of small data packets and facilitates the connection setup of a suitable transport radio. We discuss the energy efficiency of the proposed device discovery mechanism and evaluate the capability to form a network in a residential scenario with different device densities.

Apparatus and method for providing a user with a personal exercise program

Abstract: A convenient device, such as a mobile phone, provides a user interface for a system that generated personalised exercise programs and guides users through the exercises in a generated program. The generation of the program may be performed by the device providing the user interface.

Image webs: Computing and exploiting connectivity in image collections

Abstract: The widespread availability of digital cameras and ubiquitous Internet access have facilitated the creation of massive image collections. These collections can be highly interconnected through implicit links between image pairs viewing the same or similar objects. We propose building graphs called Image Webs to represent such connections. While earlier efforts studied local neighborhoods of such graphs, we are interested in understanding global structure and exploiting connectivity at larger scales. We show how to efficiently construct Image Webs that capture the connectivity in an image collection using spectral graph theory. Our technique can link together tens of thousands of images in a few minutes using a computer cluster. We also demonstrate applications for exploring collections based on global topological analysis.
