20090137266 | PORTABLE TELEPHONE - A user enters a numeric string on a standby screen of a cellular telephone, and then presses a predetermined function key, the numeric string obtained by numerical conversion of a piece of registration information, in accordance with an assignment relationship indicated on numerical keys of the cellular telephone. A database in which numeric data obtained by the numerical conversion of a piece of registration information in accordance with the above-mentioned assignment relationship and the piece of registration information are associated with each other is previously held in the cellular telephone. The database is searched by using the entered numeric string as a search key, so that pieces of registration information associated with numeric data containing the numeric string are extracted. An exactly matching one of the extracted pieces of registration information is sorted in a high rank and displayed. | 05-28-2009 |

Also, a method and apparatus for data connectivity on a mobile device supporting multiple name assignment modules, the method checking, subsequent to transitioning to a second name assignment module, whether the second name assignment module supports data connectivity; responsive to the checking, determining whether separate billing is required for the second name assignment module; and responsive to the determining, establishing a data connection. | 01-28-2010 |
20100197343 | Mobile device, management apparatus, phone number modifying system, and control circuit - When a mobile device falls within a range in which the mobile device can communicate with an IC tag, the mobile device transmits a phone number acquisition request including an IC tag ID and a device number to a management apparatus. The management apparatus receives the phone number acquisition request, acquires a phone number corresponding to the IC tag ID and the device number included in the phone number acquisition request from a phone number management table, and informs the mobile device of the acquired phone number. The mobile device receives the phone number and modifies its own phone number to the received phone number. | 08-05-2010 |
20110009160 | Method And Apparatus For Discovering A Home Link In Mobile IP - The present invention provides a method and apparatus for discovering a home link in mobile IP, wherein the method includes: an access network assigns an address for a UE when the UE is attached to the network; the UE acquires a home address from the network; the UE compares the address assigned by the access network with the home address, and confirms that the UE is attached to the home link in the case that the address assigned by the access network and the home address are the same. Therefore, with the present invention, it is not necessary to configure the UE in advance, and the participation of the user is also not required. Thus improved application flexibility is provided. | 01-13-2011 |
20120276948 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SWITCHING TO VOICE MODE - In a method of switching to a voice mode, an electronic device controls a speaker of the electronic device to play a first audio recording when a mode button of the electronic device is pressed a first time. The electronic device dials a telephone number consisted of received numbers when the mode button is pressed a second time and controls to the speaker to play a second audio recording corresponding to the telephone number. | 11-01-2012 |
20130095881 | ROUND ROBIN ASSIGNMENT BASED COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - A round robin assignment based communication system may include a dynamic subscriber identification module (SIM) provisioning module to obtain and selectively assign a phone number to a device from a predetermined number of devices based on a round robin assignment technique to allow each device to communicate upon assignment of the phone number. A machine-to-machine (M2M) application module may determine priority of the phone number assignment to the devices. | 04-18-2013 |
20130157715 | MOBILE PHONE FOR AUTHENTICATING SIM CARD AND METHOD THEREOF - The present invention provides a mobile phone for authenticating Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) card and a SIM card authentication method adapted for the mobile phone. Once a SIM card is inserted into the mobile phone, the mobile phone acquires a phone number associated with the inserted SIM card and identifies whether the acquired phone number has been stored in the non-erasable programmable memory of the mobile phone. If yes, the user is legal and can use the mobile phone, if no, then the user is illegal and cannot use the mobile phone. Therefore, the mobile phone protects and hides stored information from the user. | 06-20-2013 |
20130157716 | DOUBLE NUMBER SERVICE - Embodiments disclosed herein describe a double number service configured to allow a mobile or landline subscriber to receive an additional telephone number that is configured to make and receive communications such as telephone calls and text messages. Telecommunications systems and methods disclosed herein are configured to utilize a virtual phone number or double numbers, which a user may subscribe to, to publish and/or communicate to other users. The user may also subscribe to multiple virtual numbers, and use the virtual numbers on a single device. Accordingly, an end user may receive communications to an assigned number from a telecommunications service provider and the virtual or double number on the same telecommunications device. | 06-20-2013 |
