20080301567 | PROXIMITY-DEPENDENT EVENTS - A calendar application for use with a first portable electronic device includes time-dependent events having a start time and an end time and proximity-dependent events having a specified device ID that corresponds to a second portable electronic device. Both the time-dependent events and the proximity-dependent events are stored in the calendar application and the proximity-dependent event is convertible into a time-dependent event. A proximity reminder is generated when the second portable electronic device is in short range radio frequency communication range of the first portable electronic device. | 12-04-2008 |
20090006530 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TRANSFERRING DATA TO A PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A method of transferring data to a portable electronic device includes providing a link for pushing data to the portable electronic device, receiving a selection of the push link, receiving an identifier of the portable electronic device for delivery of the data thereto, and transmitting the data to the portable electronic device. | 01-01-2009 |
20090025089 | Security System Based on Input Shortcuts for a Computer Device - A method of activating security functions on a computer device, for example a mobile communications device. The computer device includes a device state that may be realized by way of a first user input or a second user input. The method includes designating the first user input to realize the device state as a security rule having an associated security function, detecting realization of the device state, and activating the associated security function if the device state was realized by way of the second user input rather than the first user input. For example, the first user input may be a shortcut input, and the second user input may be a conventional or normal input. | 01-22-2009 |
20090083758 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DELIVERING VARIABLE SIZE MESSAGES BASED ON SPAM PROBABILITY - There is disclosed a system and method for delivering a message to a communication device. In an embodiment, the method comprises obtaining a probability that the message is spam; in dependence upon the probability that the message is spam, determining a variable message size; and sending the message to the communication device in dependence upon the determined variable message size. In an embodiment, the method further comprises receiving a user response whether the message is spam; and if the message is verified as being spam, then filtering the message from the communication device. | 03-26-2009 |
20090176482 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DISPLAYING REMOTE CACHE INFORMATION - A method and system for providing one or more status indicators associated with a request from a device for information from a website. According to an embodiment, information received from the website is stored in a cache, and the status indicators are generated based on the information in the cache. In response to a request from the device one or more of the status indicators are downloaded or otherwise transmitted to the device. According to an embodiment, the request is generated by a user activating an HTML link at the device. The HTML link is associated with an HTML file which stores the status information, and in response to activation, one or more of the status indicators from the HTML file are transmitted to the device. | 07-09-2009 |
20090177732 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATED AND CONFIGURABLE REMOTE CACHE REFRESHES - A method and system for enhancing the download of a webpage to a mobile communication device or other type of networked device. The system comprises a module for retrieving a designated webpage from a web server. The system includes a cache for storing a copy of the retrieved webpage and a component for refreshing the cache. The system further includes a module for transmitting the webpage from the cache to the device. The refresh or update frequency for the cache may be defined by a user of the device. The designated webpage may be defined by a user according to a rule or other input parameter. | 07-09-2009 |
20110295959 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF SPAM PROBABILITY - There is disclosed a system and method for visually representing the probability of SPAM messages on a mobile communication device. In an embodiment, the method comprises: obtaining a probability that a message is SPAM; and for each of one or more messages in a message list, visually representing the probability that a message is SPAM such that any differences in the probabilities as between messages are discernable from the visual representation. In another embodiment, the method further comprises: determining the percentage of the message downloaded to the mobile communication device; and displaying for each of one or more messages appearing in the message list an object or icon visually representing at least one of the probability that the message is SPAM, or the percentage of the message downloaded to the mobile communication device. | 12-01-2011 |
