Title: Detecting a valid square root, multiplicative inverse or division of floating point numbers by checking if the error is less than a predetermined margin
Inventor: FIT-FLOREA ALEXANDRU
IPC: G06F7/483
Filed: 2012-03-01
Abstract: An estimate of the result of a floating point calculation is made. An error in the estimate is calculated. If the error is less than a threshold, then the estimate is the correctly rounded result. If it is not, and no exception is detected, a further estimate may be made and the process repeated. If the calculation is a multiplicative inverse of a floating point number, â  1s.2e.m, then the threshold is 2-1-L(m).m, where L(m) is the length of m .If the calculation is a square root, then the threshold is 22F(e/2)-L(m), where F(x) is the integer with the largest absolute value, which is still smaller than the absolute value of x. If the calculation is a division of â  1s.2e.m by â  1t.2f.n, then the threshold is 2e-1-L(n) if m<n and 2e-L(n) otherwise.

Title: Faster cell reselection by user equipment upon receiving a RRC connection rejection message
Inventor: HENTTONEN TERO
IPC: H04W36/00
Filed: 2012-08-06
Abstract: A user equipment UE determines from a Radio Resource Connection (RRC) connection setup reject message received from a serving cell currently serving the UE, at least one layer comprising a frequency layer or a radio access technology layer, then measures received signal strength of cells that are neighbours of the serving cell at available layers after de-prioritising the determined at least one layer associated with the serving cell, and ordering the neighbour cells based on the measuring. The UE then initiates a procedure to establish a connection with a highest-ordered one of the neighbor cells. In one specific embodiment the determined layer(s) are identified in an information element of the connection reject message. In one embodiment the de-prioritising triggers the UE to do a cell selection to measure the received signal strength from neighbour cells (as opposed to remaining on the current cell and performing reselection evaluation), and in another embodiment the threshold for reselection measurements is modified by setting a threshold purposely to exceed measured received power from its serving cell to force the signal strength measurements.

Title: Device to device (D2D) communication in a wireless communications network
Inventor: SHARMA VIVEK
IPC: H04W24/02
Filed: 2012-09-24
Abstract: A mobile communications device establishes a D2D communication with another mobile communications device. The mobile communications device subsequently searches for a communications network and if found, sends the network an indication that it is engaged in D2D communication. The network determines whether the D2D communication is authorised and sends a response indicating authorised or not authorised to the device. The device continues or discontinues D2D communication based on the response. The invention allows the network to mitigate against potential interference by setting parameters for the D2D communication or handing over to a cellular network connection. A further mobile device or other network node may monitor radio transmissions for possible D2D communications between other mobile devices and report the results to the network. The network may then reserve resources for the D2D communication. Where mobile devices belong to different networks, authorisation may be needed from both networks.

Title: Content prioritization
Inventor: BABAIAN ARAM NICHOLAS
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2012-10-10
Abstract: A content manager provides a user interface 200 for displaying and reviewing content items 212 (photographic, audio, video content etc.). Content items are assigned prioritization scores, influencing the manner in which those content items are organised. Prioritization scores are themselves determined on the basis of information inherent to a content item, such as the specification (e.g. format, graphical resolution, source) of the content item or associated descriptive data (e.g. text information), and information provided by a user, such as by gestures or other input techniques indicative of interest in that content item by that user such as frequency of viewing. The user interface 200 may have a first region 210 associated with high priority items, and a second region 220 associated with lower priority items presented as a timeline. A book (e.g. photo album) may be created for sharing or printing from content prioritized by the prioritization engine.

IPC: G06T13/00
Filed: 2013-05-10
Abstract: The present invention relates to the generation of audio and visual data displayable on a portable device such as a mobile phone or tablet in the form of a character animation. At a graphics station, a character data file is created for a character having animatable lips and a speech animation loop is generated having lip control for moving the animatable lips in response to a control signal and the character data file and the speech animation loop are uploaded to an internet server. At a production device, the character data file is obtained along with the speech animation loop from the internet server, local audio e.g a podcast is received to produce associated audio data and a control signal to animate the lips. Aprimary animation data file is constructed with lip movement and this file is transmitted, along with associated audio data, to the internet server. At each mobile display device, the character data is received from the internet server along with the primary animation data file and the associated audio data. The character data file and the primary animation data file are processed to produce primary rendered video data, and the primary rendered video data is played with the associated audio data such that the movement of the lips shown in the primary rendered video data when played is substantially in synchronism with the audio being played. The audio data is streamed, such that the playing a video with substantially synchronised audio is initiated before all of the audio data has been received.
