| 20080250319 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING MEDIA PLAYBACK BEHAVIOUR IN A MEDIA APPLICATION FOR A PORTABLE MEDIA DEVICE - A system and method is provided for determining playback behavior in a media application for a wireless communications device. The wireless communication device has a memory with media files stored therein. The method comprises the steps of: determining playback attributes associated with a media file; determining if a user triggered event occurs during the media file playback; determining if the media file playback ends due to the playback reaching the end of the media file; selecting a function to perform based on playback attributes of the file being played and based on whether the playback ends or the user triggered event occurs, wherein the selected function is based upon the determined attributes associated with the media file; and performing the selected function. | 10-09-2008 |
| 20080250431 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DISPLAYING MEDIA FILES IN A MEDIA APPLICATION FOR A PORTABLE MEDIA DEVICE - A method is provided for use with a media application running on a wireless device. The method displays to a user a listing of media files available in a memory of the wireless device. The method comprises the steps of: determining locations in the memory to search for the available media files; the locations including all memory devices of the wireless device suitable for storing the media flies except for one or more predetermined folders contained in the memory, searching the determined locations for files to include in the listing of available media files; locating files not yet included in the listing of available media files; determining if the located files meet criteria of the search and identifying located files that meet the criteria of the search as suitable media files, and displaying a menu including the suitable media files. | 10-09-2008 |
| 20090146908 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EVENT-DEPENDENT STATE ACTIVATION FOR A MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE - A method for event-dependent state activation for a mobile communication device, the device having an opened configuration and a closed configuration, the device having a primary display visible in the opened configuration and a secondary display visible in the closed configuration. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20090222748 | SYSTEM AND METHOD OF NAVIGATING THROUGH NOTIFICATIONS - A method for navigating through notifications on a wireless device having a primary user interface shown on a primary display and a secondary user interface shown on a secondary display, the method comprising the steps of: generating a notification at the wireless device, the notification being associated with an event; detecting if the secondary user interface is being shown; indicating the notification on the secondary user interface if the secondary user interface is being shown; displaying a preview of the event on the secondary user interface in response to a selection of the notification in a preview mode; and closing the preview of the event on the secondary user interface in response to a deselection of the notification and bringing the secondary user interface out of the preview mode; wherein the notification is still maintained after displaying the preview of the associated event. | 09-03-2009 |
| 20090322890 | DISABLING OPERATION OF FEATURES ON A HANDHELD MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE BASED UPON LOCATION - Methods and devices for implementing subsystem or functional aspect restrictions on a wireless handheld communication device. Data defining geographical boundaries of a restricted operating area is stored on the device. The present position of the device is ascertained and a determination is made whether the device is located within the restricted operating area. A restriction on the subsystem or functional aspect is imposed when it is determined the device is within the restricted operating area. The subsystem or functional aspect restriction can be communicated to the device via a wireless communication network. Additionally, the restrictions and boundaries can be communicated to the device as part of an IT security policy. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100184410 | METHOD AND DEVICE FOR HIDING MESSAGES - Based on user configuration, a main messaging user interface screen on a messaging device either presents a list of references to messages stored on the device based on a complete index of references to the stored messages or based on a filtered index of references to the stored messages. References to stored messages of a predetermined type are not maintained in the filtered index. | 07-22-2010 |
| 20100321303 | PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME - A method of controlling a portable electronic device that has a touch-sensitive display includes displaying a representation of a user-selectable feature on the touch-sensitive display, detecting the touch on the touch-sensitive display at a first location associated with the feature, and temporarily increasing a target area of the representation after detecting the touch at the first location. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20110109561 | PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME - A method includes rendering an interface area for inputting a first plurality of characters associated with a plurality of locations on a touch-sensitive display of a portable electronic device, detecting, by the touch-sensitive display, a first gesture in a first direction on the touch-sensitive display, associating a second set of characters with the plurality of locations in response to detecting the gesture. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20110143736 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SMART REDIALLING FOR CONFERENCE CALLS - A wireless device and method are provided for redialling of conference calls comprising: establishing a call connection based on a first dialled number; monitoring for subsequent numbers dialled after the establishment of the call connection; determining if the subsequent numbers dialled meet predetermined criteria; and saving the first dialled number and the subsequent numbers dialled in a memory of the wireless device as a saved first dialled number and saved subsequent numbers if the predetermined criteria are met. | 06-16-2011 |
