20080247523 | Multiple virtual telephones sharing a single physical address - A shared multi-user IP telephone device for receiving, based on SIP, calls transmitted over VoIP network, a system using such a device and method thereof. The shared multi-user IP telephone device includes a storage device for storing user profiles, an ID extraction portion for receiving from the VoIP network a SIP packet including at least the callee's ID, and extracting the ID contained in the SIP packet, and a personalized feature presentation portion for searching in the storage device for the user profile corresponding to the ID according to the extracted ID for presenting the corresponding personalized feature according to the search result. Thus it is possible for everyone using such a phone to receive directly the call for him/herself without anyone else or other device forwarding the call. | 10-09-2008 |
20080263004 | Method and apparatus for helping user form structured diagram from unstructured information source - The present invention provides a method and apparatus for helping a user form a structured diagram from an unstructured information source. Starting with one or more key information elements such as some special words, the requests of a customer contained in the information source can be obtained by performing interactive and iterative searching in the unstructured information source such as text, audio, video and etc., the artifacts representing them are drawn in the diagram, and linkages are established between the artifacts and the corresponding contents in the information source. The present invention also proposes that the distribution of established linkages can be used to check whether all the requests in the information source have been extracted in the diagram. Further, various levels of warnings can be shown according to the density of linkage distribution. Therefore the user can draw a structured diagram more conveniently and quickly, and can perform checking and reusing more easily. | 10-23-2008 |

20120303452 | Method and Apparatus for Providing Context Attributes and Informational Links for Media Data - Various embodiments include a method including receiving media data on an apparatus, and receiving one or more context attributes related to the apparatus or accessed by the apparatus. The method further includes determining whether the one or more context attributes relate to the media data, and causing, at least in part, display of the media data with the one or more context attributes that are determined to relate to the media data. Also, a method is provided that includes receiving media data on an apparatus, parsing the media data into one or more structured elements, determining one or more informational links that relate to the one or more structured elements of the media data, and causing, at least in part, display of the media data with the one or more informational links that are determined to relate to the one or more structured elements. | 11-29-2012 |
20130185359 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTEXT-BASED GROUPING - An approach is provided for determining context-based groups based on context information. An input from a device specifying one or more criteria to determine a context-based group from among a plurality of other devices is received. The context information associated with the plurality of other devices is determined. The context-based group is determined based, at least in part, on the context information and the criteria. | 07-18-2013 |
20130273943 | ESTIMATING THE GEOGRAPHICAL POSITION OF AN APPARATUS BASED ON ITS PROXIMITY TO OTHER APPARATUSES - An example apparatus, such as a position server, is caused to receive proximity information from a number of mobile apparatuses located remote from the apparatus, and receive observed current locations from at least some but not all of the mobile apparatuses. The apparatus is also caused to determine a proximity relation between certain ones of the number of mobile apparatuses, where the proximity is reflected by the proximity information received from the mobile apparatuses. And the apparatus is caused to calculate an estimate of a current location of at least one of the one or more remaining mobile apparatuses as a function of the proximity relation between certain ones of the number of mobile apparatuses, and as a function of the observed current locations of the one or more mobile apparatuses. | 10-17-2013 |
