Title: Communicaton device with provision for remote data storage
Inventor: WENDELRUP HEINO
IPC: H04Q7/32
Filed: 2000-06-30
Abstract: There is described a system for storing information, using a mobile communications device such as a mobile phone. The phone has a connection to a network infrastructure, over a mobile communications network such as a cellular radio network. Information can be stored by the user either in a storage location within or attached to his phone, or in a storage location which forms part of the network infrastructure. The user can be given the option of selecting a preferred storage location, but the system can also be transparent, so that the user does not need to know where any specific item is being stored. Similarly, information can be retrieved by the user, without the user needing to know where the information was stored.

IPC: H04W88/18
Filed: 2000-07-14
Abstract: In an automatic answering phone system in a mobile communication system, a system which allows the transmitting mobile terminal 203 to confirm whether or not the receiving mobile terminal 201 has received the message. An automatic answering service center 211 is provided with a storing section 209 which, at the time of registering a message from the transmitting mobile terminal 203 to the receiving mobile terminal 201, stores a pass number (pass word) of the transmitting mobile terminal 203 together with a receipt number given from the center 211 in association with the message. The center 211 has a confirmation number storing section 210 for storing a check data indicating the opened state of the message in association with the message for each of the users. When the receiving mobile terminal 201 has opened the message, the check data is set from a non-opened state to an opened state. Thereafter, when the transmitting mobile terminal 203 inputs the pass number and the receipt number, these inputted numbers are compared with the numbers stored in the confirmation number storing section 210 by a inquiry section 208 so that the transmitting mobile terminal 203 is allowed to obtain information as to whether or not the receiving mobile terminal 201 has already opened the message.

Title: Robust watermark for detecting alterations
Inventor: AGGARWAL GAURAV
IPC: H04N1/32
Filed: 2000-09-15
Abstract: A watermarking method for an image wherein a number N is embedded into an image as a invisible or visible robust watermark. The number N is generated from the essential components of the image such that the number N will be the same when generated from analysis of the image after processing (such as compression or printing) or noise introduces minor discrepancies or modifications which do not effect the images authenticity. The number N can be generated by performing a principal component analysis on a sample set of images with minor discrepancies or by using Wold's decomposition. Alternatively the image can be divided into n x n blocks and then transform coefficients are generated for each block, these are then quantized, the result is encrypted using a private key and this is then hashed using an algorithm to generate the number N. The authenticity of an image can be verified by generating the number N again when verifying and then comparing this to the number N embedded in the image, if the two do not match then it is considered that the image has been altered deliberately.
