Patent EP-1471716-A3 (EP)
Inventor: SIDDIQUI KABIR
IPC: H04M1/02
Filed: 2004-04-06
Abstract: A mobile device contains a case to rigidly secure and protect components of the mobile device, especially against large shock forces that can occur when the mobile device is dropped. The case is typically formed using a material that is generally rigid, lightweight (i.e., less dense), and relatively inexpensive, such as magnesium. The case further comprises rigid sidewalls that surround the peripheral edges of the device display. The sidewalls are arranged to protect the display by absorbing incidental shock forces. The case further comprises a surface configured as a platform to receive a keypad. The surface is arranged to prevent forces from being transmitted from the keypad to an internal print circuit board, which provides protection against the internal printed circuit board from being flexed to the point of failure. The mobile device may further comprise a boot that is slidably coupled to the frame.

Abstract: A security system includes an electronic lock and an electronic key. The
electronic key holds identification data that notifies the lock of the key's functional
type and the locks that the key is authorized to open. In one embodiment, circuitry in
the lock checks whether an inserted key holds an access code that is more recent
than a corresponding access code stored in the lock, indicating that the data on the
inserted key is more current than the data stored in the lock. The lock is then
automatically reprogrammed with the data stored in the inserted key.

Abstract: An image encoding/decoding method and apparatus are disclosed. The
encoding method comprises: obtaining a residue corresponding to a difference
between the original image and a prediction image with respect to each
component of the original image; encoding the residue of a predetermined
component of the original image; restoring the encoded residue of the
predetermined component and transforming the restored residue into a
predetermined value including the restored residue value; and encoding prediction
residues corresponding to differences between each of residues of components of
the original image, which are not encoded, and the residue, which is restored and
transformed into the predetermined value. Since prediction residues are encoded
and decoded using correlations between residues of image components and
image components, data amount is highly reduced. Also, since there is no quality
loss in a picture generated by directly encoding an R-G-B image without
transforming it into a Y-Cr-Cb image, high quality image information is obtained.

Abstract: The present invention provides a device and a method for displaying appropriately on the display area for each processing unit such as an application according to the applied equipment. The CPU 12 processes display area acquisition requests from a plurality of processing units R1 - Rn according to a display management program. The display management program decides whether use of the display area is allowed to each processing unit, considering the relationship of the plurality of display areas requested from each processing unit R1 - Rn. Each processing unit R1 - Rn executes display processing for the display area for which use is allowed. In this way, whether use is allowed is notified from the display management program to each processing unit R1 - Rn after each processing unit R1 - Rn sends the display area acquisition request. As a consequence, display in a plurality of areas by each processing unit R1 - Rn can be controlled appropriately.
