20090068997 | Apparatus and Methods for Over the Air Provisioning of a Single PDP Context Mobile Communications Device - A mobile communications device and registration servar and methods of use thereof. The mobile communications device comprises means for establishing a first data context and means for establishing a second data context. The first data context is established to transmit a request for parameters from the mobile communications device to a first network node and to receive at the mobile communications device a response from the first network node including the parameters. The second data context is established by transmitting the parameters from the mobile communications device to the second network node. | 03-12-2009 |
20110167123 | Apparatus and Method of Wireless Instant Messaging - A wireless communication device declares one of a plurality of extended instant messaging states and transmits the declared states to a presence information server. Declared extended instant messaging states for destination devices are received, and an enhanced instant message based on declared extended instant messaging states is generated. | 07-07-2011 |
20120173680 | SYSTEM AND METHOD TO PROVIDE BUILT-IN AND MOBILE VPN CONNECTIVITY - A system and method for facilitating the establishment of a virtual private network between a network and a remote computer, the system having: a mobile device connectable to the remote computer and storing a user profile, virtual private network information, and password information; virtual private network software being located on one of the mobile device and the remote computer; an access point communicating with the network; and communication means for communications between the access point and one of the mobile device and the remote computer, wherein the user profile, virtual private network information, and password information is passed to the virtual private network software upon connection of the mobile device to the remote computer, the virtual private network software using the user profile, virtual private network information, and password information to establish a virtual private network through the communications means and the access point to the network. | 07-05-2012 |
20130170815 | Methods And Apparatus For Use in Providing Object Indicators During Video Recording Or Playback - Techniques for use in providing object indicators for video recording or playback are described. A mobile device includes a media recorder module and a sensor device. The media recorder module is used to record video data in a media file. The sensor device detects signals which indicate the presence of an object during a time period of the recording. The mobile device receives object data comprising an identification of the object, and stores the object data in association with timestamp data which corresponds to the time period during which the object is present during the recording. | 07-04-2013 |
20140080471 | System and Method for Controlling Device Usage - Mobile device usage may be monitored and restricted by pushing enabling/disabling events from an administrator the device. The events impose a certain set of rules that can “lock” certain features provided by the device, according to permissions and pre-established policies, for a certain period of time. Such restricted periods may coincide with meetings or other events in which distractions should be kept to a minimum or be during regular, predetermined time periods. Preferably, the rules include conditional locks that allow a user to use a feature a reasonable number of times before the lock is activated to place the onus on the user for minimizing such distractions, while enabling the user to maintain access to such a vital communication tool. Cancel packets may also be used to not only control but to monitor the application of the rule sets and when certain conditions are breaches, which provides an employer with sufficient information to use in auditing device usage or in reprimanding users for misuse of a privilege such as the use of mobile data communications devices. | 03-20-2014 |
20140380450 | SYSTEM AND METHOD TO PROVIDE BUILT-IN AND MOBILE VPN CONNECTIVITY - A system and method for facilitating the establishment of a virtual private network between a network and a remote computer, the system having: a mobile device connectable to the remote computer and storing a user profile, virtual private network information, and password information; virtual private network software being located on one of the mobile device and the remote computer; an access point communicating with the network; and communication means for communications between the access point and one of the mobile device and the remote computer, wherein the user profile, virtual private network information, and password information is passed to the virtual private network software upon connection of the mobile device to the remote computer, the virtual private network software using the user profile, virtual private network information, and password information to establish a virtual private network through the communications means and the access point to the network. | 12-25-2014 |
