A personalized smart card stores therein public and private cryptography keys stored which are used to securely request and receive subscriber content data from a service provider, utilizing a remote control device.

Method and system for providing secure subscriber content data

Automatic environmental measuring stations () are connected in a physical connection with base stations () of a cellular radio system which stations measure certain basic phenomena of the atmosphere and/or the concentrations of certain substances in the air. The information of the measurements is transferred using a base station over the cellular radio system to a central equipment () either as regular reports or as acute alarms if any alarm limit is exceeded. The information may also be transmitted over the base station of the cellular radio system to mobile stations () in the area of the base station in the form of individually tailored reports and alarms.

System for performing environmental measurements and for transferring measurement results

A mobile communication device is constructed for use in communicating with a wireless communications network. The device is adapted for carrying on or near the person of the user. For ease of use and adaptability, the various functions of the device are separated into multiple units. The units communicate with each other through a localized communication system in which at least one local traffic channel is generated by the primary unit. To permit bi-directional communication among the units, multiple access protocols are used, either TDMA or CDMA.

Personal mobile communications device having multiple units

A method for eliminating the disturbance caused by a mobile station (MS) situated within a certain area . In order to be able to prevent disturbance caused by a mobile station reliably, the mobile station (MS) is provided with control means for the muting of the mobile station as a response to a predetermined message (S ) transmitted to the mobile station, and transmitting means (BTS) are arranged in said certain area for the transmitting of said predetermined message to a mobile station situated in the area in order to mute the mobile station.

Mobile communication devices

A method for performing an opinion poll with a mobile communication system having a data processing block, a plurality of recipient mobile stations comprising a wireless communication block and a display, and service center having a buffer. A query message is entered to the data processing block, a predetermined answering period is defined, and the buffer is provided with the query message. This is followed by attempting to send wirelessly the query message from the buffer substantially simultaneously to the recipient mobile stations, attempting again if necessary, and storing at least temporarily the query message at the recipient mobile stations. The query messages are then presented at recipient mobile stations and their users are allowed, at a convenient moment, to enter a written answer message to the mobile station. The written answer messages are sent wirelessly to the service center, forwarded from the service center to the data processing block; and processed by the data processing block, if received by the processing block within the answering period.

Opinion poll utilizing a wireless data transmission connection

A system for measuring the blood glucose level in a sample of a patient's blood. Consumable test strips (,) are provided together with a code (,) which identifies the manufacturing batch of the strip (,). A measurement unit (,) is provided and is coupled to a mobile telephone (,). The measurement unit (,) is arranged to receive a test strip (,) and to determine a color change in a reagent (,) due to reaction of the reagent (,) with a blood sample. The identification code (,) is read at the same time by the measurement unit (,) and is transmitted by the mobile telephone (,) to a central database (,) provided by the test strip manufacturer. The database (,) contains identification codes (,) together with associated calibration data. Upon receipt of an identification code (,), the remote database (,) transmits the associated calibration data to the mobile telephone (,) which uses the calibration data to calculate a test result from the measured change in color. The result can be displayed to the patient on a display of the telephone (,).

Measurement apparatus

An improved method for estimating the status of human physiological and/or psychological conditions by observing the values of the vocal tract parameters output from a digital speech encoder. The user (,) speaks to his device (,), which transforms the input speech from analog to digital form, performs speech encoding (,) on the derived digital signal, and provides values of speech coding parameters (,) locally for further analysis. The stored mathematical relation, e.g. the user-specific vocal tract transformation matrix (,) is retrieved from the memory and utilized in the calculation of corresponding condition parameters (,). Based on these calculated parameters, an estimation (,) of the present status of user's condition can be derived (,).

Method, device and system for estimating the condition of a user

Equipment (,) is used for the reception of multimedia presentations and for their playback to the user, said equipment comprising a storage and presentation apparatus such as a computer (,) or television (,) and a terminal of a bidirectional communications system such as a mobile phone (,) or cordless phone (,). The multimedia information is loaded dynamically, and keys needed to descramble scrambled transmissions are delivered to the user via a bidirectional communications system. In the terminal equipment a local agent (,) which uses only a little of system capacity takes care of information loading and checks the available resource. Bidirectional communications can also be used for making payments to the producer and/or distributor of the multimedia service in the form of operations similar to telebank services.

Multimedia terminal and method for realizing multimedia reception

The invention relates to an apparatus (5) for handling measurement strips (1) needed for taking liquid samples, such as blood samples, the measurement strips having porous material for absorbing and analyzing a liquid sample. The apparatus (5), according to the invention, is formed of a store (6) of measurement strips that receive samples, the store having a compound construction, a store (7) of used measurement strips and a measurement strip feeding mechanism (8,9). The apparatus has preferably been integrated into a casing, which can be connected as part of a mobile phone or a corresponding device.

Apparatus for taking samples

The present invention relates to a system and a method for retrieving information from a database (7). The object of the invention is to utilise both the information automatically transmitted at the point when the telecommunication connection is established and a code, relating to safe identification, for reliably identifying a subscriber A and for retrieving information from a correct location in the database. For this purpose, the system includes a subscriber device (1A, 1B) of the subscriber A for establishing a telecommunication connection and for managing communication during it, a data processing system (2) of a subscriber B for responding to a request for contact of the subscriber device (1A, 1B) of the subscriber A, the data processing system (2) containing the database (7) or being in contact with it, and the data processing system (2) further comprising a system for receiving an identifier (3) of the subscriber A, a system for receiving a predetermined code (4) from the subscriber A, and a system for retrieving information from the database (7) on the basis of the identifier (3) and the code (4) of the subscriber A.
