11 Mar 2002TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose an information delivery method whereby wireless channel traffic is dispersed when data is downloaded from a contents server to mobile communications terminals by way of a mobile network and a cable network.
Abstract: An information delivery method whereby wireless channel traffic is dispersed when data is downloaded from a contents server to mobile communications terminals by way of a mobile network and a cable network. Information delivery management section (103) provided in the mobile network temporarily stores a downloading request for the server or data that is output from the contents server while monitoring traffic in wireless channels or in the cable network. The user of a mobile communication terminal sets a maximum time period that allows downloading to be carried out. When traffic is light in wireless channels within the allowable time, the data is delivered to the mobile communications terminal.

TL;DR: In this article, a portable messaging device for sending and receiving messages over a mobile communications system is presented, which includes a touch pad for receiving handwritten symbols as input from a first user and a conversion module programmed to convert the input to an outgoing message composed of a series of characters in a pre-defined character set.
Abstract: A portable messaging device for sending and receiving messages over a mobile communications system. In one embodiment, the device includes a touch pad for receiving handwritten symbols as input from a first user, a conversion module programmed to convert the input to an outgoing message composed of a series of characters in a pre-defined character set, a transmitter to transmit the outgoing message to a mobile communications system, and a receiver for receiving messages from the mobile communications system. The device can be adapted for use in existing mobile communications systems and does not require a keypad to transmit text messages to remote users. The device may be further adapted to facilitate financial transactions initiated by the user. For example, the user may use the device as a credit card in the purchase of goods or services from a merchant.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided to show how mobile phones and mobile-enabled agricultural services have impacted the farmers and the scope exists for a much greater rural productivity impact in the future.
Abstract: Rapid growth of mobile telephony and the introduction of mobile-enabled information services provide ways to improve information dissemination to the knowledge intensive agriculture sector and also helps to overcome information asymmetry existing among the group of farmers. It also helps, at least partially, to bridge the gap between the availability and delivery of agricultural inputs and agriculture infrastructure. This paper explores further on this topic and provides evidence to show how mobile phones and mobile-enabled agricultural services have impacted the farmers. As mobile penetration continues to increase among farming communities and information services and to adapt and proliferate, the scope exists for a much greater rural productivity impact in the future. To leverage the full potential of information dissemination enabled by mobile telephony along with supporting infrastructure and capacity building amongst farmers it is essential to ensure the quality of information, its timeliness and trustworthiness.
