Up to four screen objects are presented on the display, each of those screen objects being positioned towards a corner of the display to enable a user to blindly operate the multi-axis input device, making use of a capture effect in which the focus of a user interface program is resisted from moving beyond an edge of the display, to guide movement of the focus to a given one of the up to four screen objects. | 04-21-2011 |
20100223595 | METHOD, APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR SUPPORTING POLYMORPHIC ELEMENTS AT RUN-TIME IN PORTABLE COMPUTING DEVICES - Various methods, apparatuses and systems for supporting polymorphic elements at run-time in portable computing devices are provided. One embodiment includes a development tool that can be incorporated into an integrated development environment. (IDE) The development tool is configured to detect when a programming instruction corresponding to a polymorphic element is received. Upon such detection, the developer operating the IDE is prompted to provide specific mapping information such that an application that is finally generated using the IDE avoids or reduces the use of polymorphic elements and thereby reduce computing resource stresses on the device on which such an application is ultimately deployed. | 09-02-2010 |
20100141584 | STROKE BASED INPUT SYSTEM FOR CHARACTER INPUT - An improved handheld electronic device includes an input apparatus, preferably a trackball, an output apparatus, namely a display, and a processor apparatus. The processor apparatus is structured to execute a number of routines including a stroke-based input user interface routine. The stroke-based input user interface routine is structured to present a user interface on the display. The user interface includes an active portion, a filter portion and an output portion. | 06-10-2010 |
20100036737 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USING SUBSCRIPTIONS FOR TARGETED MOBILE ADVERTISEMENT - A method and system for delivery of targeted mobile advertisement, the method: associating an advertising client with a data façade on a mobile device; passing subscription filters from the advertising client to the data façade; receiving at the mobile device, advertisements related to the subscription filters; communicating between an advertisement application and the advertising client to request an advertisement; selecting at the advertising client an advertisement for the advertising application; and returning the advertisement to the advertising application. | 02-11-2010 |
20100036711 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MAPPING SUBSCRIPTION FILTERS TO ADVERTISEMENT APPLICATIONS - A method and system for data delivery of targeted mobile advertisement, the method associating an advertising client with a data facade on a mobile device; passing a subscription filter for each advertising application on the mobile device from the advertising client to the data facade; receiving at the mobile device, a subscription identifier for each advertising application; mapping the subscription identifier to an advertising application; getting advertisements with subscription identifiers at the mobile device; communicating between an advertisement application and the advertising client to request an advertisement; and returning the advertisement to the advertising application. | 02-11-2010 |
20090318117 | METHOD OF MAKING PHONE CALLS FROM A LOCKED OUT HANDHELD ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND A HANDHELD ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCORPORATING THE SAME - Outgoing phone calls can be made on a handheld electronic device that has been locked to prevent unauthorized use through an override that permits the making of outgoing phone calls while applications additional to the phone application remain locked. In some embodiments, the override can not be selected unless first enabled by a remotely generated enable override authorization signal. | 12-24-2009 |
