摘要:
A method and apparatus for securely transferring medical information is provided, which included storing information relating to a medical prescription item on a smart card using an encryption method that provides independent verification as to the source of the information, verifying the source of the information by the provider of the medical prescription item and modifying the stored information relating to the medical prescription item when the prescription is filled, and storing the modified information on the smart card using an encryption method that provides independent verification of the source of the modified information.

A mobile station (104) processes a paging message having information data mapped to a cyclical redundancy check (CRC) error detection code and divided into a plurality of CAC data portions mapped to a plurality of Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem (BCH) error correction codes. A BCH forward error corrector (FEC) (150) generates a plurality of BCH syndromes (538) to correct single errors that may exist in each of the plurality of CAC data portions (402), and thereby generates a plurality of post-correction CAC data portions (504). A cyclical redundancy check (CRC) error detector (152) detects if an error exists in the plurality of post-correction CAC data portions (504). An error detector (174) detects if BCH syndromes (552-562) corresponding to post-correction CAC data portions (518-528) have values of zero. When the CRC error detector (152) detects an error and the error detector (174) detects that BCH syndromes (552-562) have values of zero, the mobile station (104) processes the paging message and performs a page response function in response to detecting a page.
摘要:
A closeable communication device (102), such as a cellular telephone, has a housing (105), an input device, such as a button (208), carried on the housing (105), and a controller (304) disposed in the housing (105) and coupled to the button (208). The housing (105) is movable between a closed position (200) and an opened position (114). The button (208) is accessible in the closed position (200). The controller (304) is configured to employ one or more features that increase the usability of the device (102) in the closed position (200). For example, the controller (304) answers an incoming call to the device (102) upon opening of the housing (105) and, alternatively, disables answering of the incoming call upon opening of the housing (105) during actuation of the button (208) so as to allow, for example, opening of the device (102) to view caller identification information without answering the call.
摘要:
A building automation system including a controller, at least one outlet for providing electrical energy to one or more electrical devices, at least one sensor for detecting one or more characteristics of the electrical devices, and a communication link configured to allow communication between the controller and other components of the system, wherein the controller is configured to control (e.g., interrupt, change, adjust, terminate, increase, and/or meter) the supply of power to the at least one outlet based, in part, on one or more characteristics of the electrical device.

A face recognition system is provided, which is incorporated as part of traditionally worn items, so as to allow for face recognition assistance without being obvious to the person whose face is being recognized. The face recognition system includes a viewfinder, which has an image capture module and a display module, and includes a user actuatable selector. The face recognition system further includes a data storage element, which includes a data structure, having one or more images of faces of people, and associated identification information. The face recognition system still further includes a controller, where the controller is communicatively coupled to the viewfinder, the user actuatable selector, and the data storage element. The controller includes a pattern matching module, wherein when the user actuatable selector is activated the pattern matching module of the controller is adapted for comparing an image being currently captured by the image capture module with the one or more images of faces in the data structure, and wherein when the pattern matching module detects a match, the controller is adapted to retrieve the identification information associated with the matched image, and convey the identification information to the user.
摘要:
A mobile station (102) has electrical circuitry (301) that operates to reduce power consumption. A synthesizer (318) is tuned so that a receiver (314) receives a home radio frequency (RF) signal during a receive slot (504) of a PCH subframe (209). A controller (310) detects if an upcoming subframe has an uplink requirement and if data from the home RF signal indicates that an idle condition exists. If the upcoming subframe does not have an uplink requirement, synthesizer (318) is tuned during a long idle slot (506) of PCH subframe (209) to measure signal strengths of two peripheral RF signals. If the idle condition does exist, electrical circuitry (301) is placed into a low power mode throughout a transmit slot (508), a receive slot (512), a long idle slot (514), and a transmit slot (516).
