The method includes displaying message reception notification of a received message in a screen lock state, sensing an input fingerprint so as to confirm the received message, and displaying the message while maintaining the screen lock state when the sensed fingerprint is authenticated. | 2014-04-17 |
20140106712 | Method for Data Communication in a Vehicle and Data Communication Device - A method for data communication in a vehicle between an in-vehicle device and a mobile device coupled with the vehicle includes transmitting, by the in-vehicle device, data via a data bus of the vehicle to an in-vehicle data communication device, a first data protocol being used for this purpose, in which an arbitration occurs. The data communication device converts the data, and the data communication device transmits the converted data via a data link to the mobile device. A second data protocol is used in the data transmission from the in-vehicle data communication device to the mobile device, in which no arbitration occurs. A data communication device by which the method of the invention may be implemented is also described. | 2014-04-17 |
20140106713 | PROVISIONING OF NETWORK INFORMATION INTO A SUBSCRIBER IDENTITY MODULE - A method in a subscriber identity module, a subscriber identity module, a method in a user device and a user device for provisioning of network information is provided. Moreover, a method in a first network node and a first network node for managing network information is provided. The first network node receives a request for the network information, wherein the request comprises information about capabilities of the user device. Next, the first network node generates network information according to a format selected according to the capabilities of the user device. The network information is received by the user device. Next, the user device provisions the network information into the subscriber identity module. | 2014-04-17 |
20140106714 | Systems And Methods For Providing Security To Different Functions - Methods and systems provide secure functions for a mobile client. A circuit may include a memory configured to store a server access key and a first function authentication key. The circuit may also include authentication circuitry configured to access the server access key to authenticate access to a server to download a function capsule comprising a first function and to access the first function authentication key to authenticate use of the first function of the function capsule. | 2014-04-17 |
