| 20090207817 | Policy-Based Data Routing For A Multi-Mode Device - Communication devices capable of at least two communication modes (e.g. WLAN, WMAN and WWAN and/or wired modes) can be configured to optimize communications using a policy-based mechanism to configure connections and routes. A rules engine evaluates its policies on a state change (e.g. network availability, time of day, etc.) to configure a routing table and, together with communication APIs, provides an appropriate connection to an application for its respective communications. Policies may be responsive to various factors such as Radio Access Technology (high/low bandwidth), cost, presence, time of day, location, application type and quality of service (QoS) requirements among others to optimize communications. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20110032324 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MOBILE TELEPRESENCE - Exemplary methods and systems relate to telepresence at mobile devices. Aspects comprise dynamic configuration of video provided from a server that intermediates between a mobile device and a telepresence system during a telepresence session. The server receives high definition video from the telepresence system and transcodes into a format that can indicated by the mobile device. The mobile device can dynamically update the format in response to real-time battery life and network interface status. A progressive reduction in bandwidth and power consumptive activities can be implemented. The device can implement face detection and face centering, front/back mobile device camera switching, and automatic contrast control and other video quality controls in an outgoing video stream. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20110035447 | COLLABORATION CAPABILITY SERVICE - Providing collaboration services in a data processing system. Receiving a collaboration session request including identification of at least one collaboration resources. Determining availability of at least those collaboration resources identified in the request. Composing proposed collaboration session plans as a function of the availability of the collaboration resources. Presenting the plans to at least one stakeholder. Receiving a selection from among presented plans. Implementing the selected plan by initiating a collaboration session. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20110081889 | METHOD OF INTERACTING WITH ELECTRONIC DEVICES IN A LOCKED STATE AND HANDHELD ELECTRONIC DEVICE CONFIGURED TO PERMIT INTERACTION WHEN IN A LOCKED STATE - A method of interacting with electronic devices in a locked state, and a handheld electronic device configured to permit interaction when in a locked state are provided. In accordance with one embodiment, there is provided a handheld electronic device, comprising: a controller; a display screen connected to the controller; an input device connected to the controller; a communication subsystem connected to the controller for communication over a wireless network; a notification element connected to the controller; wherein the controller is configured for: initiating a locked state on the device in response to detection of a trigger condition; monitoring for one or more predetermined inputs via the input device when the device is in the locked state; and generating a notification via the notification element in response to detection of a predetermined input when the device is in the locked state. | 04-07-2011 |
| 20110106779 | SYSTEM AND METHOD TO IMPLEMENT OPERATIONS, ADMINISTRATION, MAINTENANCE AND PROVISIONING TASKS BASED ON NATURAL LANGUAGE INTERACTIONS - Systems and methods for implementing operations, administration, maintenance and provisioning (OAM&P) tasks includes a user interface for receiving a natural language request from an administrator of the system. The natural language request is then parsed into one or more tasks available on the system. A series of system commands are then generated to implement the one or more tasks. Required information may be obtained from the administrator or from other system resources. Once the commands, including required variables, are completed, the commands can be executed. | 05-05-2011 |
| 20110183665 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR THE SYNCHRONIZED TRANSMISSION OF TONE SEQUENCES - A computer implemented method for transmitting dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF) tones is disclosed. The method includes sending an indication to a mobile device to start a cyclic ring tone including ring and pause periods. The delay incurred to send a DTMF tone to the mobile device is estimated. The server schedules the transmission of the DTMF tone to be received at the mobile device during a pause period of the cyclic ring tone and the DTMF tone is sent as scheduled. | 07-28-2011 |
| 20110261792 | CONVERSION OF MOBILE DEVICE TO LAN-ONLY TELEPHONY FUNCTIONS - A system and method implemented at a communication device for providing access to telephony services over one or more of a number of communication networks, including cellular networks and IP-based fixed and wireless networks. A mobile device may be configurable for voice communication over both a cellular network and a LAN (e.g. a wireless LAN), and may be adapted to place and receive calls via a PBX over one of the cellular network and the LAN. When it is determined that the mobile device is configured for voice communication using one or both of the cellular network connection and the LAN connection, the mobile device may automatically adapt its user interface to reflect the availability of voice communication only over those connections that are available. | 10-27-2011 |
| 20120009929 | User Profiles - A method, system and computer-readable product for a fixed mobile convergence system. The method includes analyzing at least one rule set associated with at least one user profile with the user profile being associated with at least one mobile device supporting more than one line. Each line offering one or more transports and options for establishing a telephone call. After analyzing the one or more rule sets, a context-specific real-time usage mode is determined based on the analysis which include selections of a telephone line, a transport and establishment options. After determining the usage mode, a call is established between one of the devices and a telephony endpoint, either incoming or outgoing, based on the determined usage mode. | 01-12-2012 |
