| 20120011557 | BANDWIDTH AND SERVER RESOURCE SAVINGS THROUGH USE OF LEGACY CLIENT CAPABILITY IN A REMOTE USER INTERFACE SYSTEM - A server receives a request for delivery of media from a client, and determines if the client has a capability to tune to a quadrature amplitude modulated (QAM) channel carried by a first network. The server sends a message to the client to instruct the client to tune to the QAM channel to receive the media via the first network if it is determined that the client has the capability to tune to the QAM channel. The server sends the media to the client if it is determined that the client does not have the capability to tune to the QAM channel. | 01-12-2012 |
| 20120008761 | System and Method for Ring Delay on a User Agent - A system and method for ring delay on a user agent. A destination user agent may receive a request from an origination user agent to establish a session between the two user agents. The destination user agent may delay ringing according to a ring delay parameter. If the request has not been terminated by the time the ring delay parameter is met, the destination user agent may ring and a session may occur between the origination user agent and destination user agent. If the request is terminated before the ring delay parameter is met, the destination user agent may never ring. The ring delay parameter may be a ring delay time period. The ring delay parameter may be received as part of the request from the origination user agent, set by the destination user agent, or set by a service provider for the destination user agent. | 01-12-2012 |
| 20110113450 | ENHANCED TELEVISION EXTENSION - A method may include receiving an enhanced television (ETV) application in a video client over a first data path and executing the ETV application in the video client. In one embodiment, the ETV application may include an enhanced television binary interchange format (EBIF) resource. The method may also include extracting, from the EBIF resource, an identifier of an extension application and requesting the identified extension application. The method may include receiving the extension application, over a second data path different than the first data path and executing the extension application. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110105022 | MULTI-FUNCTION TRANSACTION DEVICE - A mobile communication device may include one or more devices configured to: receive, from a server, identity information corresponding to transaction information stored on the server, the transaction information being associated with at least one transaction completed between the mobile communication device and a user device; send, to a transaction device, the identity information to establish a communication session to conduct a transaction between the transaction device and the mobile communication device; and receive, from the transaction device, a payment request associated with the transaction between the transaction device and the mobile communication device, and generated using the transaction information provided by the server. | 05-05-2011 |
