Title: A device with gaze tracking and zoom
Inventor: ATLOW SHABTAI
IPC: G06F3/01
Filed: 2011-05-09
Abstract: A device 200 includes a display, a gaze tracking system to track and identify a point on the display 820 to which a user of the device is directing their gaze, a face tracking system to determine a distance 840 of the face of the user of the device from the display, and a processor which receives a location of the point on the display from the gaze tracking system and the determined distance. The processor outputs an instruction to a device display controller, the device display controller in response either zooms in on the point on the display or zooms out from the point on the display, and the zoom is modified as a result of the determination of the face tracking system. The display controller may zoom in on point 820 when the point is moving closer to the userâ  s face. Alternatively the image of text 810 may be maintained at a steady level of magnification (zoom) in relation to the users face by growing or shrinking the text to compensate for the change in distance between the display and the userâ  s face.

Title: Selecting a different radio access technology in order to achieve power savings
Inventor: MARTIN BRIAN ALEXANDER
IPC: H04W36/16
Filed: 2012-08-02
Abstract: A wireless device operates under network control. The wireless device operates using a first radio access technology under control of a network control apparatus 204. The wireless device determines that using a different radio access technology would consume less power 210. The wireless device signals to the network control apparatus that it would like to use the different radio access technology in order to achieve power savings 220 (e.g. by sending a SIGNALLING CONNECTION RELEASE INDICATION (SCRI) message). When the network receives a request to use a different radio access technology in order to achieve power savings at the wireless device, the network transmits a signal that at least one of: (i) redirects the wireless device to the different radio access technology in response to receipt by the network control apparatus of the signalling from the wireless device; (ii) changes cell reselection priorities of the wireless device such that the different radio access technology has a higher priority; and (iii) hands over the wireless device to a cell that uses the different radio access technology. The wireless device may monitor power consumption over time for different applications running on the device or for different activity states of the device.

Title: Access control information for wireless devices in a suspended connected or idle mode
Inventor: KUBOTA KEIICHI
IPC: H04W4/90
Filed: 2012-11-14
Abstract: A network sends access control information for receipt by wireless devices that are operating in a suspended connected mode or idle mode under control of the network. The access control information operates to control access to the network by the wireless devices regardless of whether the wireless devices are operating in a suspended connected mode (e.g. in CELL_PCH or URA_PCH paging states) or idle mode. This may be used to inhibit a large number of mobile devices attempting to connect to a network after a particular event (as signaled by the Earthquake and Tsunami Warning System ETWS, for example). Receipt of the ETWS signal by a large number of mobile devices in an idle or suspended connected mode may cause them to attempt to connect to the network simultaneously to transmit buffered information. By restricting access to the network in the above way the risk of overloading a wireless network is reduced.

Title: System and method for merchant authentication
Inventor: MARTIN DAVID
IPC: G06Q20/40
Filed: 2013-05-02
Abstract: A merchant authentication system and method comprises a trading server 12 cooperating with a client verification server 18 to complete payment formalities using a card owned by a user. At initial sale completion at a trading server 12, a new client 10 user has a user identification tag generated by the trading server 12. The trading server 12 communicates with a client verification server 16 that accepts and stores the user identification tag and user card details, together with a trader identification tag. The trader will have previously established account details for charging and receiving monies. Thereafter, whenever the same user successfully logs into the same trading server 12, the user verification server, when the user confirms a purchase, automatically receives the user identification tag and the trader identification tag. The user identification tag is not known or shown to the user. Neither the user account details nor the trader account details are passed between servers, avoiding the possibility of interception. The client verification server 18 can incorporate with a fiscal service 16 to effect payments. The fiscal service 16 and the client verification server 18 can be combined. If a user wishes to check card details at the end of a purchase transaction, before allowing the transaction to receive, the invention permits the client verification server 18 to pass card details to the trading server 12 for displaying. Only if the user approves the card details seen by him does the transaction run to completion and payment.
