A method is described for re-determining, in a television apparatus, a program table including associations between alphanumeric labels and radio-television programs, each one of the alphanumeric labels indicating a string of characters that must be selected by the user in order to activate the reproduction of one of the radio-television programs associated therewith, the method including the steps of biunivocally associating with each radio-television program in the table an alphanumeric label comprising a numeric part; allowing at least a first list and a second list to be simultaneously displayed on a screen, both including identification data of the radio-television programs obtained from the program table, the radio-television programs being sorted in the lists according to sorting criteria; selecting a first program from the first list of programs sorted according to a first sorting criterion, the first program being associated with a first alphanumeric label; selecting a second program from the second list of programs sorted according to a second sorting criterion, the second program being associated with a second alphanumeric label; and modifying the value of the first alphanumeric label of the first program with an alphanumeric label value comprised in the range delimited by the value of the second alphanumeric label, extreme included, and by the value of the alphanumeric label, extreme excluded, which immediately precedes the second alphanumeric label in the second list.

Method for re-determining the numbering of radio-television programs, and apparatus thereof

A method for displaying a video stream according to a format defined by a user, wherein a graphic element is superimposed on the displayed video stream, and wherein the dimensions and/or position of the graphic element are modified as a function of commands received from the user, so as to define a screen area in which a certain portion of the frames of the video stream is displayed. The video stream is then displayed in a format wherein, for each frame, the frame portion defined by the graphic element is displayed with altered dimensions and/or position on the screen.

Method for displaying a video stream according to a customised format

A method and a user equipment () includes a communication device adapted to attempt to access a mobile telecommunications network () and to receive from the network () information about the presence of access restrictions to the network (); the equipment () also includes an access management module () configured for determining, in the presence of access restrictions to the network (), a wait time (Tbarring) that must elapse, at the least, between successive verifications of the possibility of accessing the network (), wherein the wait time (Tbarring) is determined at least on the basis of the result of at least one previous attempt to access the network () by the user equipment ().

A method for estimating the distance (d) of a receiver () from a radio transmitter () includes the steps of: receiving () radio signals () irradiated by the transmitter (), which include components from which at least three tones () are extracted, each having a different frequency; measuring () a first phase difference (&#x394;&#x3c6;) between first two tones () of the at least three tones, whose frequencies (f, f) have a first spacing, and measuring a second phase difference (&#x394;&#x3c6;) between second two tones () of the at least three tones, whose frequencies (f, f) have a second spacing, wherein one of the first spacing or second spacing is greater than the other; estimating () the distance (d) on the basis of the first phase difference (&#x394;&#x3c6;) and the second phase difference (&#x394;&#x3c6;).

Method for estimating the distance of a receiver from a radio transmitter, relative methods for calculating the position of a mobile terminal, mobile terminal and localization device

A method of bi-directional communication in a cellular mobile telecommunication network () includes a terminal () that receives signals transmitted by at least one radio base station () of a downlink network of the cellular mobile telecommunication network () and selects one serving transmitting radio base station () among one or more transmitting () or transceiving () radio base stations of the downlink network, wherein the downlink network operator selects one serving receiving radio base station () among one or more receiving radio base stations () of an uplink network which have received a signalling message (URRA) transmitted by the terminal (). By way of the serving receiving base station () of the uplink network and the serving transmitting base station () of the downlink network, the terminal () establishes bi-directional connections over the cellular mobile telecommunication network ().

A cooperative localization process for determining the absolute position of an apparatus to be localized includes a plurality of cooperator apparata able to cooperate, through the exchange of messages and data, in the localization of the apparatus to be localized. The cooperator apparata are equipped with at least one direct, apparatus-to-apparatus radio transmission and reception system for messages and data, and components for estimating the distance between apparata of the set of cooperator apparata. The cooperative localization apparata able to implement this process are also described.

Cooperative localization of radio apparatuses

A process for transmitting at least one alarm signal from an alarmed apparatus to a PSAP (Public Safety Answering Point,), through a system composed of a plurality of cooperating apparatuses () includes at least one such alarmed apparatus () and at least one responding apparatus, the apparatuses being equipped at least with memory, a processor and a first radio system for direct reception/transmission, from apparatus to apparatus, of signals and data, and the plurality of cooperating apparatus including at least one apparatus () equipped with components adapted to transmit the alarm signal to the PSAP (). An apparatus is also described which is adapted to implement the above process.
