    摘要: A communication system and a method can be configured to facilitate the performance of a conference. The system can include a conference organizer terminal and at least two participants' terminals each assigned to respective conference participants who each log in to start a conference on the communication system. The communication system can be configured to calculate a decision situation at a particular point in time of the ongoing conference by analyzing the views expressed by the conference participants during the conference and send data relating to the decision situation for that point in time to the conference organizer's terminal and/or other conference participant terminals for use in facilitating the conference. IN some embodiments, such data can be used to assist the conference participants' in recognizing when there is a consensus made on at least one decision to be made during the conference.

    摘要: A method for displaying e-mail messages to a user of an e-mail message viewer comprises displaying a list of received e-mail messages with a list entry for each received email message and displaying binary information indicating the read/unread status of each received email message in the list. The read/unread status information of each received first email message is switched from “unread” to “read” when the text and/or attachments of this particular first e-mail message have been displayed at least partially to the user when opening this particular first e-mail message. The read/unread status information of each received second email message is switched from “unread” to “read” when the text and/or attachments of this particular second e-mail message have been displayed at least partially to the user when opening a particular first e-mail message.

    摘要: A first aspect of the present invention concerns a method for controlling a multimedia application on a terminal, in particular a mobile terminal, wherein multimedia data are received from a remote source and are processed for being presented on a display of the terminal, comprising the steps of: a) detecting an operating state of at least one service component of the terminal concerning the presentation of the data of the multimedia application; b) generating an item of state information characterizing the operating state of the at least one service component; c) generating a message, comprising: the state information, and/or an item of information characterizing the state information, which characterizes the data density that can be processed as a maximum prescribed by the operating state of the service component for presenting the multimedia data, and/or an instruction to the remote source with respect to the adaptation of the data and/or transmission of the data to the terminal, in order to adapt the data and/or the transmission of the data to the data density that can be processed as a maximum prescribed by the operating state of the service component for presenting the multimedia data; d) transmitting the message to the remote source; e) receiving the multimedia data; and f) processing the multimedia data for presentation on the display of the terminal. The invention also concerns a method for the adaptation and transmission of multimedia data, a software product and a device.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for providing a wireless local network, wherein stationary communication devices and mobile communication devices are connected in the manner of a mesh as the sub-network, which is particularly connected to an infrastructure network and configured to exchange authentication messages with at least one communication device, which is particularly disposed in the infrastructure network and provides an authentication function. During an attempt to establish a first link by a first communication device connected to a communication device providing the authentication function to a second communication device connected to the communication device providing the authentication function, an authenticator role to be assigned as part of an authentication process is associated with the first and second communication devices, wherein at least one property correlating with the connection is analyzed for meeting a criterion. The invention further relates to an arrangement comprising means for carrying out the method.
