| 20080218196 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROTECTING DATA BASED ON GEOGRAPHIC PRESENCE OF A RESTRICTED DEVICE - A method of protecting data stored by an electronic device includes determining an identity of a restricted device. Also determined is the identity of restricted data associated with the restricted device, the restricted data being one or more items of data stored by the electronic device. Data protection for the restricted data to limit access to the restricted data by the restricted device in invoked when geographic presence of the restricted device with respect to the electronic device is detected. | 09-11-2008 |

| 20080207165 | LIMITING USE OF ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT FEATURES BASED ON LOCATION... - A method and apparatus for limiting the use of one or more features and/or applications provided in electronic equipment based on identification information and location information associated with the electronic equipment is disclosed. Upon initiation of an application and/or feature, a request is made to a remote server. The request includes identification information and location information associated with a geographical location of the electronic equipment. A database maintained at the remote server determines whether the user has the necessary privileges to activate the application and/or feature and whether any limits (e.g., digital rights management) should be placed on the content created from the application and/or feature. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080218405 | Mobile terminals including location management systems and location management methods for mobile terminals - Methods of managing a location of a mobile terminal include obtaining a position of the mobile terminal, estimating a distance from the mobile terminal to a destination point, generating an estimated time for the mobile terminal to reach the destination point, and generating an alert if the estimated time for the mobile terminal to reach the destination point reaches a threshold time. Related mobile terminals are also disclosed. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20090177513 | Device and Method for Dynamic Itinerary Planning and Tracking for Mobile Communications Device - A dynamic tracking application for a mobile communications device is disclosed. The dynamic tracking application enters itinerary events into the mobile communications device to create an itinerary. The itinerary events are plotted on a map that can be displayed by the mobile communications device. The itinerary is then executed by calculating and storing directions to get from one itinerary event to the next itinerary event and calculating and storing estimated departure and arrival times between itinerary events. This is compared to the current time and location of the mobile communications device to further determine whether the user can arrive on time at the next scheduled itinerary event based on the calculated time and distance to the next scheduled itinerary event. If not, the user is prompted to edit the itinerary or it can be done automatically. | 07-09-2009 |

| 20120085884 | Adjustable Pintle Mount Adapter Bracket - The Adjustable Pintle Mount Adapter Bracket is a device capable of attaching a pintle and a weight distribution shank at varying heights. The pintle and weight distribution shank are attached on opposite sides of the bracket. The unique adjustability of the design is accomplished through a series of holes and easily removable pins which thread through the holes in the bracket and the weight distribution shank. The invention comprises of a series of components which are combined through welding. | 04-12-2012 |

| 20090171663 | REDUCING A SIZE OF A COMPILED SPEECH RECOGNITION GRAMMAR - The present invention discloses creating and using speech recognition grammars of reduced size. The reduced speech recognition grammars can include a set of entries, each entry having a unique identifier and a phonetic representation that is used when matching speech input against the entries. Each entry can lack a textual spelling corresponding to the phonetic representation. The reduced speech recognition grammar can be digitally encoded and stored in a computer readable media, such as a hard drive or flash memory of a portable speech enabled device. | 07-02-2009 |
| 20090198490 | RESPONSE TIME WHEN USING A DUAL FACTOR END OF UTTERANCE DETERMINATION TECHNIQUE - The present invention discloses a solution for a speech processing system to determine end-of-utterance (EOU) events. The solution is a modified dual factor technique, where one factor is based upon a number of silence frames received and a second factor is based upon an end-of-path occurrence. The solution permits a set of configurable timeout delay values to be established, which can be configured on an application specific basis by application developers. The solution can speed up EOU determinations made through a dual factor technique, by situationally making finalization determination before a silence frame window is full. | 08-06-2009 |
| 20090198494 | RESOURCE CONSERVATIVE TRANSFORMATION BASED UNSUPERVISED SPEAKER ADAPTATION - The present invention discloses a solution for conserving computing resources when implementing transformation based adaptation techniques. The disclosed solution limits the amount of speech data used by real-time adaptation algorithms to compute a transformation, which results in substantial computational savings. Appreciably, application of a transform is a relatively low memory and computationally cheap process compared to memory and resource requirements for computing the transform to be applied. | 08-06-2009 |

| 20110282574 | LOCATION BASED FULL ADDRESS ENTRY VIA SPEECH RECOGNITION - A computer implemented method, system and/or computer program product confirm an orally entered address to a mobile navigation device. The mobile navigation device receives a global positioning system (GPS) root address component from a GPS. The GPS root address component is a text name of a root location at which a mobile navigation device is currently located. The mobile navigation device receives an orally entered address that comprises an oral root address component and an oral subunit component of the oral root address component. In response to the converted root address component matching the GPS root address component, the orally entered address is partitioned into the oral subunit component and the oral root address component, and any additional speech-to-text conversion of the orally entered address after the oral root address component is terminated. | 11-17-2011 |
