20110035394SYSTEM FOR PERFOMING INSTRURTIONS THAT ARE DEPENDENT UPON RECEIVED MEDIA- BASED MESSAGES AND ASSOCIATED METHODS AND COMPONENTS - A system for performing instructions determined by received media-based messages, the system including an interface for receiving a media-based message from a system user; a database associating a plurality of specifications of media-based messages with respective stored instructions; a recognition engine for identifying a correspondence between a received media-based message and a stored specification of a media-based message. The system may include an instruction engine for performing an instruction associated with a stored specification of an media-based message for which a correspondence has been identified; an interface for receiving an activation request; and a database manager configured to process the activation request to generate publication data for creating a publication that may be recorded by a user to define a new media-based message and configured to adapt the database to include a specification of the new media-based message. The system may include a database manager configured to arbitrate which of plural stored instructions is performed in response to an identified correspondence between the received media-based message and one or more specifications of media-based messages.02-10-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080261662Mobile telecommunications device - An arrangement and technique for providing an educated indication of battery consumption for any particular mobile terminal usage type. This allows the user to be provided with an accurate indication of the battery life remaining for the current usage type and also the battery life that is remaining for any other possible use of the mobile terminal. The mobile terminal preferably uses historical and/or statistical profiling for the different usage types to provide a meaningful indication of remaining battery life for at least one different usage type at any one time. In particular, the indication preferably includes a time representation that is specific to a usage type. The different usage types may include mobile television, game playing and voice calls.10-23-2008
20080268770CONTENT REPRODUCTION IN TELECOMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS - A telecommunications system is disclosed which includes a content server 10-30-2008
20090034704Identifying callers in telecommunications networks - A system and method that allows different participants in a conference call to be identified at a receiving terminal includes watermarking speech data when the uplink information from the terminals of the participants is received at the telecommunications network. The speech data is then combined at a conference bridge in the network and is transmitted in the downlink to the receiving terminal. The receiving terminal uses the watermarks to identify from which of the participants the received speech data originated and is operable to reproduce the speech data from the respective participants at different positions in a 2D or 3D space to help the user of the receiver terminal to identify contributions made by the respective participants.02-05-2009
20090210537Mobile communications device and associated application for use thereon - An application manager configured for use on a resource-limited device, the application manager including: an application engine configured to effect communications between a plurality of applications installed on the resource limited device and one or more external network sites; and a connection manager configured to control and/or coordinate when the plurality of applications are able to attempt to establish communications with the one or more external network sites. The resource-limited device may be a mobile terminal.08-20-2009
