Abstract:
In a monitoring system, when a monitoring display instruction is received from a smartphone, a master device transmits an image transmission request to a plurality of cameras, each of the cameras transmits image data obtained by an image capturing unit to the master device in response to the image transmission request from the master device, the master device generates a plurality of separate images in order to display images from the plurality of cameras on a single screen in a distributed manner, and transmits image data of a monitoring screen of the plurality of separate images to the smartphone, and the smartphone includes a display/input unit and displays the monitoring screen of the plurality of separate images transmitted from the master device on the display/input unit.
Abstract:
A surveillance system comprising a middleware server (10) connected via a SMPP link to an SMSC (12). The surveillance system enables two-way connection to a plurality of image capture devices, such as video cameras or webcams (14). Image data captured by the cameras (14) is transmitted via GPRS and a private data communication network (16) to the middleware server (10). Data included with the image data indicative of the IP addresses of the respective image capture devices (14) from which the captured images originate is identified and the mobile communication devices, e.g. mobile telephones, registered as authorised to receive the captured images, or data relating thereto, are determined. Automatically, or upon request, the streamed image data received in the middleware server (10) from the image capture devices (14) is transmitted to the respective authorised client (18).
Abstract:
A method of customizing packaged goods (12) with a unique image (28). The method includes obtaining at a remote location the unique image (28) in a digital form, for example a digital camera (16). The image (28) is transmitted to a packaging facility (38), and applying the image (28) to the goods (12) thereby to customize the goods with the unique image. Preferably, the image (28) is communicated in a wireless fashion to enhance the speed at which the image (28) is communicated from the remote location to the packing facility (38).
Abstract:
An apparatus and method of providing communications between standard unmodified terminal equipment over a telephone link that includes a digital wireless link. The digital wireless link introduces substantial time variable delay. In order to pass time sensitive messages over the link, time sensitive messages are recognized and translated into time insensitive messages for transmission over the wireless link. The time insensitive messages indicate the information contained in the time sensitive messages and in the timing of the time sensitive messages. At the receiving end, the time insensitive messages are recognized and the time sensitive messages reconstructed with the appropriate timing.
Abstract:
Protocol convertors (104, 114) associated with a mobile facsimile device (103, 116) and a fixed-end facsimile device are used to terminate the control data and image data protocols unique to each device. The protocol convertors (104, 114) interface with a digital RF communication system using a radio link protocol to ensure the error-free transmission of facsimile data.
Abstract:
A method for enabling the CDMA system to support the IP facsimile service and a system thereof are provided, which relate to the CDMA system data transmission. The IP facsimile service supported by CDMA system can be implemented by adding the IP facsimile function to the CDMA system or user terminal, or by adding IP facsimile transmitting or receiving gateway to the CDMA system peripherally.
Abstract:
A mobile telephone (10, 20) receives, constructs and displays an image (32) from a server (18) over a mobile telephone network (12, 16, 18) where the server (18) determines the parameters for data transfer from the server (18) to the mobile telephone (10, 20), the capabilities of the mobile telephone (32) transfer task requirements, and appportions the processing between the server and the mobile telephone (10, 20) for each of a plurality of elements (28, 30, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 60, 62) in each image (32), thereby to meet the task requirement, which can include being within a predetermined time for task completion, or being the fastest means for task completion. Parameters for data transfer from server (18) to telephone (10, 20) include server (18) transmission bandwidth, phone (10, 20) reception bandwidth, data channel bandwidth, transmission protocol; and channel accessibility. Phone (10, 20) capabilities include the data processing speed, the available memory, display size and the data processing software available; Task requirements include the maximum time from transmission to display of the image; and the minimum display resolution of the image.
Abstract:
The invention provides a device for recording, electronically processing and transmitting, via a telecommunication system, optical information, for instance an image of a person, which device comprises: a camera; video means for converting an image detected by the camera into a signal format suitable for said transmission, optionally with addition of additional information to be added to the image such as text or sound, which sound is converted into said signal format via microphone and audio means, all of this such that a message for transmitting is formed; transmitting means for entering the telecommunication system and transmitting the message; and payment means for setting the device into operation and transmitting the message; and optional printing means for printing at least the image and optionally the visual part of the whole message.
Abstract:
A communication system, a mobile services switching center and a method is described, for allowing a multi-dialogue communication to take place between a first subscriber station (MS1, MS2, . . . MSn) and a second subscriber station (ISDN ST1) through a mobile services switching center (MSC/VLR) of a public land mobile network (PLMN). A mapping device (MP) of the mobile services switching center (MSC) maps several communication channels between the first subscriber station (MS1, MS2, . . . MSn) and the mobile services switching center (MSC/VLR) onto at least one second communication channel (CC2) between the PLMN and a fixed network (FN).
