| 20090061978 | Real-Time, Online Betting System - A subscriber registers with a betting server. The betting server stores one or more betting preferences for the subscriber. During the sporting event, the betting server receives a real-time event notification responsive to a mini-event within a live sporting event. The betting server generates a betting proposal responsive to said event notification based on the subscriber's betting preferences, and sends the betting proposal to the subscriber. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090067593 | Method for Dynamically Assembling Voice Messages at a Wireless Communication Device - A wireless communication device has a call-answering module that answers incoming calls automatically before alerting a user. The wireless communication device also includes a calendar application that maintains scheduled event information for the user. Upon receiving an incoming call from a remote party, the call-answering module retrieves the scheduled event information from the calendar application to determine the user's status. Based on that scheduled event information, the call-answering module selects one or more prerecorded voice message segments stored in memory of the device, and assembles them to form a complete voice message for transmission to the remote party. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20090150159 | Voice Searching for Media Files - A consumer electronic device has a controller, a speech processing circuit, and a memory to store media files such as audio or video files. The device allows the user to use his or her voice to fast-forward or rewind through the media file to a desired position. Particularly, the device searches one or more selected media file for an audible sound such as a keyword or phrase uttered by the user. If the device locates the audible sound, the device renders the media file having the audible sound starting from that position. | 06-11-2009 |
| 20090164585 | SHARE WEB FEEDS THROUGH MESSAGING - A method may include creating a message having a web feed uniform resource locator (URL), providing an indicator in the message that the web feed URL is included in the message, the indicator being in addition to the web feed URL, identifying that the message includes the web feed URL based on the indicator, and associating the web feed URL to a contact entry. | 06-25-2009 |
| 20090177624 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PEER-TO-PEER CONTACT INFORMATION LOOK-UP - The present invention provides a system and method for providing a peer-to-peer contact information look-up system. A user who seeks contact information may enter an identification query, such as a name or other identifier. A first level search may be performed by determining whether any contacts contained in the user's electronic address book satisfy the query. If the contact is not found in the user's personal electronic address book, then the query may be transmitted to a plurality of other participant electronic devices in the system, thereby initiating a second level search. The devices that receive the query in the second level search may then search their personal electronic address books for the contact. If the contact is identified, the contact information is sent to the user device from which the query was initiated. If, however, none of the second level devices can identify the contact, each of the second level participant devices may transmit the query to a plurality of other participant devices in the system, thereby initiating a third level search. The personal address books of each of the third level devices are searched for the contact, and so on until the contact is found or the search terminates. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20090312067 | System and Method of Escalating Call Alert Indications - A wireless communications device, such as a cellular telephone, for example, receives incoming calls. A controller at the wireless communications device progressively escalates the call alert indications used to alert a user of an incoming call from a remote party based on an identity of the remote party, and on a cumulative number of times that the remote party has called the user without the user having answered the calls. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20100144330 | Downloading - In an embodiment, a mobile device is provided comprising a network interface and download controller. In an embodiment, the download controller is configured to check if a file to be downloaded can be handled by the mobile device and to transmit a download request to a further device if the mobile device cannot handle the file. | 06-10-2010 |
