Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100282045APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETERMINING A PROMINENT TEMPO OF AN AUDIO WORK - The prominent tempo of an audio data is determined by detecting a plurality of beat rates of the audio data. One or more audio data characteristics are used to filter through the beat rates to determine the prominent tempo. Systems, methods, and apparatuses to determine the prominent tempo are discussed herein.11-11-2010
20100325135METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING A MOOD PROFILE ASSOCIATED WITH MEDIA DATA - In an embodiment, a method is provided for determining a mood profile of media data. In this method, mood is determined across multiple elements of mood for the media data to create a mood profile associated with the media data. In some embodiments, the mood profile is then used to determine congruencies between one or more pieces of media data.12-23-2010

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090117942MESSAGE ADDRESSING TECHNIQUES FOR A MOBILE COMPUTING DEVICE - Various embodiments are directed to improved message addressing techniques. In one embodiment, a computing device may comprise a messaging client arranged to receive an input sequence of alphabetic or alphanumeric characters as a destination of an outbound message. The messaging client may recognize that the input sequence represents a mnemonic short code and may automatically generate a common short code comprising a sequence of numeric digits associated with the mnemonic short code. The messaging client may display both the input sequence comprising the mnemonic short code and the common short code and enable the outbound message to be sent using the common short code as the destination. Other embodiments are described and claimed.05-07-2009
20110028168METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ENABLING MESSAGE RESPONSES TO INCOMING PHONE CALLS - A computing device is configured to receive an incoming communication from another computing device. The incoming communication may be for purpose of initiating a voice-exchange session. In response to receiving the incoming call, the computing device may identify or determine a message identifier of the other computing device. The message identifier is determined based at least in part on data provided with the incoming communication. The computing device may programmatically address a message to the other computing device using the message identifier determined from the incoming communication.02-03-2011

20090061824MESSAGING WITH MEDIA INTEGRATION - Techniques involving messaging applications are disclosed. For example, an apparatus may include a communications interface module and a messaging module. The communications interface module may receive an incoming message of a conversation thread that is originated by a remote device. The incoming message includes a text portion and an attached media item. The messaging module automatically outputs the incoming message to a user interface in an output format. This output format includes both the text portion and content of the attached media item. The attached media item may be of various types. Examples of media items include video files, audio files, image files, resource locators, and application files. The embodiments, however are not limited to these examples.03-05-2009
20090061825TECHNIQUES FOR GROUP MESSAGING ON A MOBILE COMPUTING DEVICE - Techniques for group messaging on a mobile computing device are described. An apparatus may comprise a message server to communicate messages between multiple mobile computing devices. The message server may have a group message management module to establish a group messaging session between the multiple mobile computing devices. The group message management module may have a group generating module to receive a message with a group message indicator and identifying information for multiple mobile computing devices within the message. The group generating module may form a message group to communicate messages from any one of the mobile computing devices to all of the mobile computing devices for the group messaging session. Other embodiments are described and claimed.03-05-2009
20090064190TECHNIQUES FOR RECEIVING EVENT INFORMATION - Techniques involving the reception of information regarding scheduled events are disclosed. For example, an apparatus may include an event management module and a communications interface module. The event management module creates an event object corresponding to an event. The event object may include a desired status information indicator. Based on this indicator, the communications interface module receives the desired status information from a remote device.03-05-2009

20090161633METHOD AND APPARATUS TO ESTABLISH A COMMUNICATION CONNECTION - Various embodiments are directed to a mobile computing device having a communication management module. The communication management module receives connection information from a destination device, the connection information representing at least one communication mode accepted by the destination device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.06-25-2009
20100004005NOTIFICATION ON MOBILE DEVICE BASED ON LOCATION OF OTHER MOBILE DEVICE - A mobile computing device comprises a user input device, an output device, a memory configured to store data and a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to receive user input from the user input device indicative of a request to associate the stored data with a second mobile computing device, to receive an indication that the second mobile computing device is proximate to the mobile computing device, and to provide a notification to the user via the output device based on the indication.01-07-2010
20100004857USER DEFINED NAMES FOR DISPLAYING MONITORED LOCATION - A user's location may be tracked by tracking a device associated with the user. The user's location may be published (e.g. on a website) using a user defined name or some other name that is not related to the coordinates of the location based on the tracked location of the device. If published to a website, the name may be uploaded to the website in a user-editable area of the website, which area may or may not be directed to tracking the location of the user. The device may also be configured to trigger reminders based on whether the device is leaving an area and/or based on whether the device is approaching a location based on the location's membership in a class of locations (e.g. approaching a grocery store).01-07-2010
