System and method for locating a phone user

Номер: US20120003996A1
Автор: Sameer Khan
Принадлежит: Kyocera Corp

Systems and methods for locating a user of a wired or wireless communication device allow a communication device to respond to a location request with its current location or a default location. A request for the location of a target wireless communication device is sent to the network where the request is responded to by the network or forwarded to the target device. When the request is received by the target device, the device can deny the location request or respond to the location request with the actual location of the device (as determined by GPS or the network) or with a default, predetermined location. The type of response (denial, actual location, or default location) can be selected by the user of the target device on a granular, per request basis so that the user of the target device can selectively respond to location requests in an appropriate fashion.

Method for transmitting and receiving group deletion information

Номер: US20120014287A1
Автор: Jeong Ki Kim, Ki Seon Ryu, Yong Ho Kim, Young Soo Yuk
Принадлежит: LG ELECTRONICS INC

A method for transmitting and receiving group configuration information on a user equipment is disclosed. The user equipment receives information on group deletion of the user equipment from a base station. The user equipment transmits an acknowledgement (ACK) signal about the received information on the group deletion to the base station. In this case, the information on the group deletion is configured as a separate extended header type or a type that an extended header is piggybacked on a specific downlink packet to be transmitted to the user equipment. Preferably, the user equipment decodes the received information on the group deletion of the user equipment. The user equipment successfully decodes the information on the group deletion and is then able to transmit the acknowledgement (ACK) signal about the received information on the group deletion to the base station.

A secure element can be physically coupled to a mobile communication device to allow for transactions with remote terminals such as point-of-sale and point-of-entry terminals. Data can be transmitted data between the mobile communication device and the secure element in a manner that allows for easy receipt of the data especially in cases where a wireless carrier network or WIFI connection is not available. Once the mobile communication device receives the transaction data, it can be posted on social media sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, etc . When a consumer shares their latest purchase and opinions about the product or event with their Special Interest Group (e.g. fans on facebook, followers on twitter , or any members affiliated with a social media group), it gives them a voice not available through traditional product review channels, and could compel others to purchase that item as well and merchants can reward users for posting (i.e. marketing) purchase history

A system and method of mobile communication roaming where a subscriber's home network and a roaming network used by the subscriber do not have a roaming agreement. The roaming network sends a “Send Authentication/Parameters” request to the home network via an intelligent roaming system on or attached to the backbone. The home network sends an authentication response to the “Send Authentication/Parameters” request from the home network to the roaming network via the backbone and intelligent roaming system. The roaming network sends a “Update Location” request from the roaming network to the intelligent roaming system. The visitor locator register (VLR) address in the “Update Location” request is replaced with the VLR address of the intelligent roaming system to create a modified update request. The modified update request is sent from the intelligent roaming system to the home network. The home network sends an update response to the modified update request to the roaming network via the backbone and intelligent roaming system.

Embodiments disclosed herein provide a system and method of providing a distributed architecture for the Layer 2 and Layer 3 devices in a wireless communication network. Instead of using a single device with functionalities of Layer 2 and Layer 3 layers, the proposed system uses a distributed architecture for Layer 2 and Layer 3 devices where a single Layer 3 device controls multiple Layer 2 devices and the Layer 2 devices form a mesh network. This architecture provides multiple channels for communication between Layer 3 and communication devices and hence avoids congestion in channels while multiple devices communicate with Layer 3 simultaneously. A central server is employed to control Layer 3 devices and corresponding Layer 2 devices. The server maintains a database of parameters allocated to Layer 2 devices. The server ensures distribution of unique values of parameters to the associated Layer 2 devices.
