Method and system for presence enhanced group management and communication

Abstract: A system and method uses presence information to enhance group management functions. The presence enhanced group management allows sharing of information between group members, management of availability and contact information associated with the group members, and group/group member availability definitions having a variety of various meanings within the scope of a group definition. The presence enhanced group management functions allow groups and their associated presence information to function as mediators of all types of information between members of the group to include synchronization of calendars and task lists. Group based channels of communication are also facilitated to support message exchange between the group members.

System and method of providing personal calendar services

Abstract: The invention is a system (10) and method for providing personal calendar services. A system providing calendar services in accordance with the invention includes a mobile terminal (12) including a display (14), a processor (34) which controls providing a display on the display of a calendar of a user of the mobile terminal including scheduled calendar user services which are provided to the user of the mobile terminal by at least one user service provider and have associated therewith a scheduled time and at least one location at which the user service is provided to the user; at least one calendaring and scheduling server (20) providing the mobile terminal with a schedule of the scheduled calendar user services which is maintained by the at least one calendaring and scheduling server and which is displayed by the display under control of the calendar software client, each calendaring and scheduling server executing software, which is responsive to a physical location stored therein to schedule at least one scheduled calendar user service for the user of the mobile terminal; and a communication system (16) providing communications between the mobile terminal and the at least one calendaring and scheduling server and between the at least one calendaring and scheduling server and the at least one service provider.

Mobile network architecture evolution toward 5G

Abstract: As a chain is as strong as its weakest element, so are the efficiency, flexibility, and robustness of a mobile network, which relies on a range of different functional elements and mechanisms. Indeed, the mobile network architecture needs particular attention when discussing the evolution of 3GPP EPS because it is the architecture that integrates the many different future technologies into one mobile network. This article discusses 3GPP EPS mobile network evolution as a whole, analyzing specific architecture properties that are critical in future 3GPP EPS releases. In particular, this article discusses the evolution toward a "network of functions," network slicing, and software-defined mobile network control, management, and orchestration. Furthermore, the roadmap for the future evolution of 3GPP EPS and its technology components is detailed and relevant standards defining organizations are listed.

Acoustic event detection in real life recordings

Abstract: This paper presents a system for acoustic event detection in recordings from real life environments. The events are modeled using a network of hidden Markov models; their size and topology is chosen based on a study of isolated events recognition. We also studied the effect of ambient background noise on event classification performance. On real life recordings, we tested recognition of isolated sound events and event detection. For event detection, the system performs recognition and temporal positioning of a sequence of events. An accuracy of 24% was obtained in classifying isolated sound events into 61 classes. This corresponds to the accuracy of classifying between 61 events when mixed with ambient background noise at 0dB signal-to-noise ratio. In event detection, the system is capable of recognizing almost one third of the events, and the temporal positioning of the events is not correct for 84% of the time.

Method and device for continuing an electronic multi-player game, in case of an absence of a player of said game

Abstract: The present invention is related to a method and a device for continuing and simulating an electronic multi-player game, i.e. an electronic game that involves more than one player or participant, if one of said players leaves the game. The invention is for special use in the field of mobile terminal devices, communication networks such as the internet and other mobile networks. The method for continuing a multi-player game in case of an absence of a player participating in said game according to invention comprises running a multi player game application receiving an indication that said player taking part in said multi-player game is absent, and continuing the game by simulating the participation of said player who is actually absent. So it is possible to continue a multi-player game, if one of the game partners intents to pause or to leave the game party. In such cases the at least one remaining game partner can continue the game playing against a game partner that is actually simulated by the gaming device.
