A telecommunications network includes a mobile phone with an audio-modulated vibrotactile module that responds to a telecommunications signal containing information about incoming speech from a called / calling party, for providing an audio-modulated vibrotactile module force containing information about the incoming speech from the called / calling party to vibrate a user's fingers, facial skin, wrist, cheek or other suitable location. The audio-modulated vibrotactile module has an audio-to-vibrotactile converter that responds to the telecommunications signal, for providing an audio-to-vibrotactile converter signal containing information about a vibration modulation of the incoming speech from the called / calling party. The audio-modulated vibrotactile module also has a vibrotactile actuator that responds to the audio-to-vibrotactile converter signal, for providing the audio-modulated vibrotactile module force in the form of a vibrotactile actuator force. The telecommunications system may also have the audio-to-vibrotactile converter. The vibrotactile actuator may be an electromechanical actuator arranged in the housing of the mobile phone for providing vibration to a user's fingers wrist or facial skin.

A waterproof case intended to protect an electronic device from harm caused by exposure to material, such as dirt, dust and water. Generally, the case includes a shell having front and back panels, peripheral sidewalls on three sides, and an opening on a fourth side defined by edges of the shell.

The invention discloses an automatic test method for WiFi (Wireless Fidelity) network connection of a mobile phone. The method comprises the following steps of: step 1, turning on a WiFi function of the mobile phone to search a WiFi hot spot AP (Access Port); step 2, entering an automatic test program of the WiFi network connection; step 3, setting automatic test parameters; step 4, starting a WiFi automatic connection test and generating a log of a test result; and step 5, recording log and exiting the test. Compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects that: the automatic test method can be repeated and automatically test the WiFi connection and record log; the number of the test times is set when the test is started, and a website is connected; after the website is connected, parameters including an appointed hot spot and the like are connected, so that the function condition of the mobile phone and the WiFi hot spot can be automatically tested and a request for accessing the internet can be automatically sent; and the information including the WiFi function connection condition of the mobile phone and the like can be quantized through the parameters including the number of times of successful connections, connection time and the like.

The invention provides a method for a user to control payment and transfer by using a mobile phone terminal, which allows a mobile phone user to use a bank account control menu on a mobile phone terminal to manage and control the payment and transfer operation of bank accounts, increases the safety and the controllability of the bank accounts of the user, allows the mobile phone terminal to participate in the payment or transfer of the user, provides standard payment interface specifications for mobile phone control and management on the basis of bringing convenience to the user, and improves the security level of the bank accounts of the mobile phone user through multiple communication modes, thereby realizing the controller function of the mobile phone in a payment process and expanding the functions of the mobile phone into the payment or transfer control in the finical field.

The present invention is a safety system that prevents the use of certain Smartphone functions and replace the blocked functions with alternative ways to communicate while in a car. These functions include text, voice (manually dialing to make calls) and internet. Smartphone includes any mobile phone or portable communication device that allows software applications to be downloaded and run on its operating system. The system uses a local RF transmitter located and mounted in the car to send a signal that can be detected by one or all of the Smartphone's in the car. The Smartphone's, which have downloaded the application, will decode the RF signal and disable and / or activate certain functions of the Smartphone. Which functions to disable and / or activate are previously chosen by a user of the downloaded application. By use of this system, young drivers, but not limited to, will not be distracted while driving, and thus forced to pay attention to their surroundings. Therefore automobile accidents will be reduced.

The presented cell phone-enabled doll companion allows a child novel ways to self-select and self-execute applications while requiring no intervention or supervision from the parent. Further, it provides learning, entertainment and safety by integrating cell phone communication, education, entertainment, alert and monitoring systems. While providing a convenient means of communication between the child and parent, the system allows surveillance of a child's real-time environment, GPS monitoring and SIDS / health monitoring.

The invention discloses a method, device and system for charge-by-household of a multi-split air conditioner. The method comprises the steps that a centralized controller counts the total electricity consumption of each charging unit in the last charging cycle, and the electricity charge of each charging unit in the last charging cycle is settled, wherein each charging unit corresponds to at least one indoor unit; the centralized controller sends payment information to the indoor units corresponding to the charging units, and the indoor units send the payment information to corresponding wire controllers; the wire controllers display the payment information to users to remind the users to pay the charges. According to the method, device and system for the charge-by-household of the multi-split air conditioner, the wire controllers automatically remind the users to pay the electricity charges of the air conditioner in each charging cycle, an administrator does not need to inform the users separately, and if a user does not pay the charges, the user is automatically restricted to use the air conditioner continuously; by means of an NFC function of a cell phone, the user can rapidly obtain accumulated electricity consumption and air conditioner electricity charges in the last charging cycle of the air conditioner of the user from the wire controllers and independently pay the air conditioner electricity charges, and the user can use the air conditioner continuously after the charges are paid.
