In another embodiment, the mounting device may rest on top of a dashboard or other surface and may make use of an adhesive member to adhere to the surface top and provide a secure means of subsequently attaching a mobile device. | 2016-02-04 |
| 20160036952 | STERILIZING APPARATUS FOR PORTABLE TERMINAL - Disclosed herein is a sterilization apparatus for a portable terminal, including a casing configured to receive the portable terminal and a UV LED provided in the casing. The sterilization apparatus can be always carried along with a portable terminal because the sterilization apparatus is constructed using a casing or a cover attached to the portable terminal. Accordingly, the portable terminal can be easily sterilized while in motion without being limited to the place. | 2016-02-04 |
| 20160036953 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PROVIDING FUNCTION OF MOBILE TERMINAL - A mobile terminal includes a communicator configured to communicate with wearable devices; a memory configured to store capability information indicating capabilities of the wearable devices; and a processor configured to determine a first wearable device and a second wearable device among the wearable devices capable of executing a function of the mobile terminal, based on the capability information, the first wearable device being configured to perform a first sub-function for executing the function of the mobile terminal, the second wearable device being configured to perform a second sub-function to be executed together with the first sub-function to execute the function of the mobile terminal, | 2016-02-04 |
| 20160036954 | COMMUNICATION SYSTEM - An information processing apparatus in which a wireless communication unit receives an identifier through a first connection from a communication apparatus. A remote apparatus is located based on the identifier so that the information processing apparatus can receive images through a second connection from the remote apparatus. An interface unit connects to a display for sending images received through the second connection to the display. | 2016-02-04 |
| 20160036955 | Authenticating a Second Terminal Based on Information Sensed by a First Terminal - A mechanism is provided for authenticating a second terminal based on information sensed by a first terminal. Responsive to receiving an authentication request, a first output request is sent to a second terminal instructing the second terminal to generate information able to be sensed by a sensor in a first terminal. An authentication of the authentication request is performed based on a condition that the sensor in the first terminal has sensed the information generated by the second terminal. | 2016-02-04 |
| 20160036956 | CONTEXTUALLY UPDATING WIRELESS DEVICE FIRMWARE - A method includes a first wireless device initiating a wireless connection to a second wireless device and monitoring at least one context associated with one of the wireless connection and the second device. When contextual data is received that indicates a condition, the method further includes determining, based on a search of a firmware update service (FUS) database, whether a firmware update for the second wireless device is available within the FUS database. And when an available firmware update is received from the FUS database, the method includes triggering the first device to initiate the firmware update for the second device. The triggering of the first device to initiate the firmware update includes: transmitting a command to place the second device in firmware update mode; and forwarding the firmware update to the second device, such that the first device controls and/or initiates the firmware upgrade of the second device. | 2016-02-04 |
