Abstract

A user equipment (UE) comprising a display and a processor configured to determine whether the UE supports each indicium of a string of one or more indicia according to a first feature, the string of one or more indicia identifying a network, the processor further configured to display on the display of the UE only the indicia in the string that are supported by the UE. A method implemented on a UE comprising determining whether the UE supports one or more indicium of a string of one or more indicia according to a first feature, the string of one or more indicia identifying a network, and displaying on the display of the UE only the indicia in the string that are supported by the UE.

Claims (25)

1. A method implemented on a user equipment (UE) comprising:

receiving a text string identifying a network, the string including at least two characters, the string representing both one or more supported characters and the string including one or more non-supported characters;

displaying the one or more supported characters; and

skipping display of the one or more non-supported characters, wherein the text string is based on a Network Identity and Timezone Information (NITZ) feature, and wherein each non-supported character in the text string does not match a language configuration of the UE.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the non-supported character is an ideograph.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the non-supported character is a partial graphic.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the non-supported character is an image.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the non-supported character is a symbol.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the text string is coded according to at least one of a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) default alphabet or according to an International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission (ISO/IEC) Standard 10646, wherein the ISO/IEC Standard 10646 was in effect before November, 2010.

7. A method implemented on a user equipment (UE) comprising:

receiving a text string identifying a network, the string including at least two coded characters, the string representing both one or more supported characters and representing one or more non-supported ideographs;

displaying the one or more supported characters; and

skipping display of the one or more non-supported ideographs, wherein the text string is based on a Network Identity and Timezone Information (NITZ) feature, and wherein each ideograph in the text string that is not supported does not match a language configuration of the UE.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the coded characters are as specified in at least one of a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) default alphabet or an International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission (ISO/IEC) Standard 10646, wherein the ISO/IEC Standard 10646 was in effect before November, 2010.

9. A user equipment (UE) comprising:

a processor configured to receive a text string identifying a network, the string including at least two characters, the string representing both one or more supported characters and the string including one or more non-supported characters, the processor further configured to display the one or more supported characters and to skip display of the one or more non-supported characters, wherein the text string is based on a Network Identity and Timezone Information (NITZ) feature, and wherein each non-supported character in the text string does not match a language configuration of the UE.

10. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the non-supported character is an ideograph.

11. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the non-supported character is a partial graphic.

12. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the non-supported character is an image.

13. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the non-supported character is a symbol.

14. The UE of claim 9 , wherein the text string is coded according to at least one of a Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) default alphabet or according to an International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission (ISO/IEC) Standard 10646, wherein the ISO/IEC Standard 10646 was in effect before November, 2010.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that when executed by a processor perform a method, comprising:

receiving a text string identifying a network, the string including at least two characters, the string representing both one or more supported characters and the string including one or more non-supported characters;

displaying the one or more supported characters; and

skipping display of the one or more non-supported characters, wherein the text string is based on a Network Identity and Timezone Information (NITZ) feature, and wherein each non-supported character in the text string does not match a language configuration of the UE.
