A recipient computing device can receive a speech utterance to be processed by speech recognition and segment the speech utterance into two or more speech utterance segments, each of which can be to one of a plurality of available speech recognizers. A first one of the plurality of available speech recognizers can be implemented on a separate computing device accessible via a data network. A first segment can be processed by the first recognizer and the results of the processing returned to the recipient computing device, and a second segment can be processed by a second recognizer implemented at the recipient computing device.

A mobile device including a first central processing unit (CPU) controlling operation of a first non-exclusive mode of the device having a first display associated therewith, and a second CPU controlling operation of a second non-exclusive mode of the device having a second display associated therewith; a plurality of individually functioning hardware resources, wherein each of said individually functioning hardware resources is accessible by only one of said first or said second CPU; and a plurality of shared hardware resources accessible by both of said first and said second CPU.

A method of operating an electronic device is provided. The method includes recognizing a number of connection components provided in the electronic device, storing count data corresponding to the recognized number of the connection components in a memory of the electronic device, acquiring the count data from the memory, and displaying application information corresponding to the acquired count data through a display connected to the electronic device.

A mobile, wireless biometric identification system includes a biometric capture device which enables a smartphone, using a commercially established wireless communication networks, to capture a digital image of a human biometric (iris, fingerprint, etc.) for transmission to a central server. The biometric capture device captures a high quality image for encoding and comparison, while the overall system leverages the existing cellular communication network. The device can be used as an interface to medical databases and devices used to diagnose and treat patients.

The present invention relates to a SIM multiplexing device that provides a mechanism for multiplexing multiple SIM cards into a single SIM device. The SIM Mux device interfaces to the host device via the host device's standard SIM slot. The SIM Mux application resides on the SIM Mux logic device and communicates with the device over the SIM slot's SIM I/O line using standard ISO-7816 messages. The SIM Mux application allows a user to select the active SIM slot via a SIM application interface and directs the logic device which SIM socket to activate on the shared SIM I/O line, thus enabling the user to utilize any one of the populated SIM cards at one time.

Disclosed herein is a mobile phone with the Near Field Communication (NFC) technology and method of operating the mobile phone. The mobile phone includes a display; a baseband chip; a near field communication (NFC) module comprising an RF antenna, an NFC tag circuit and an NFC main chip; and the RF antenna configured to receive incoming RF signals in 13.56 MHz.

An electronic device includes a first accommodation portion to accommodate a first card, a second accommodation portion to accommodate a second card, and a holding member capable of holding the first card and the second card. The first accommodation portion and the second accommodation portion are arranged so that an ejection path of the first card and an ejection path of the second card overlap. The holding member is located in an area where the ejection path of the first card and the ejection path of the second card overlap.

The present disclosure relates to a card socket into which a card tray capable of loading a plurality of electronic cards is inserted, a card connector, and a manufacturing method therefor. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a card socket is for electrically connecting a card having a terminal unit to an electronic device, the card socket comprising: a conductive shell; a nonconductive middle plate; an upper contact terminal; and a lower housing having a lower contact terminal, wherein the upper contact terminal is integrally coupled to the shell by interposing the middle plate therebetween, and the shell is coupled to the lower housing so as to form, therein, an accommodation space in which at least one card is accommodated.

A chip card fixing assembly is received inside a charging interface of an electronic device for fixing a chip card inside the charging interface. The chip card fixing assembly includes a resisting assembly including at least one pushing member and a securing member including at least one fixing portion. The at least one fixing portion and the at least one pushing member cooperatively define a securing space therebetween for fixing the chip card.

Management of multiple subscriber identity modules is disclosed. An apparatus includes an interface to a set of subscriber identity modules of a wireless communication system; one or more processors, and one or more memories storing instructions, that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the apparatus to: obtain data relating to the subscriber identity modules through the interface; obtain data relating to a mobile terminal; obtain at least one selection ground for the subscriber identity module; and select at least one optimal subscriber identity module for use by the mobile terminal on the basis of the data relating to the subscriber identity modules, the data relating to the mobile terminal, and the at least one selection ground for the subscriber identity module.
