The approach also provides an SS7 service-based solution including the capability of the home network to control the roaming mobile station from registering on a non-preferred visited network, based on configurable rules. The approach provides the ability to segment subscribers, increased/assured quality of service, no limits on designation of carrier preferences, the ability to apportion roaming traffic across numerous operators in a given foreign territory, capability for real-time changes of preferred network, and preservation of manual network selection capabilities. | 11-18-2010 |

| 20100159913 | Remote Ring Tone Control Using USSD - Devices, systems and methods are disclosed which relate to a USSD assisted remote ring tone control service allowing a first mobile device to remotely add a ring tone and activate the ring tone of a second mobile device. A first mobile device contains a remote ring-tone control logic. The remote ring-tone control logic interacts with a USSD gateway server to send a ring tone to a second mobile device and remotely activates the ring tone. This requires authorization by a policy server which is in communication with the USSD gateway server. Once authorized, the first mobile device can upload a ring tone to a ring tone cache or find a ring tone on a network. The first mobile device then sends a URL to the second mobile device pointing to the ring tone either in the ring tone cache or elsewhere on the network. The second mobile device then downloads the ring tone. Once the download is confirmed the second mobile device activates the ring tone. The next time the first communications device makes a call to the second mobile device, the ring tone sounds through the second mobile device. | 06-24-2010 |

| 20090111551 | CARD GAME - A method of playing a card game against the house. Optionally, before the cards are dealt, each player may place a bet. Then, a predetermined number of cards are dealt to each player. After the cards are dealt, each player decides whether to “Play” or “Surrender.” A surrendering player forfeits at least a portion of his/her bet, if one was placed. The game terminates for each surrendering player; however, the game continues for the other players. Optionally, each remaining player may bet a raise amount. Then, a hit card is selected from the deck and displayed to the remaining players. A player is a winner, if the player has a card with the same suit as the hit card and with a relationship with respect to the hit card, the relationship selected before the game as one selection from the following two choices: a value greater than the value of the hit card and a value less than the value of the hit card. Winning players who placed bets are paid a winning amount while losing players who bet forfeit a lose amount. | 04-30-2009 |

| 20080235925 | Gem setting having grooved channel walls and methods of setting gems - A gem setting for gemstones includes a channel with walls having grooves for holding a portion of a gem girdle, such that when a gem having a crown is set into the channel, the upper portion of the groove extends over the crown of the gem. The upper part of the channel above the groove can be permanently bent or rolled over the crown of the gem to secure the gem in the ring channel. A method of setting a gem in the channel includes inserting the gem girdle in the grooves, without permanently bending the channel walls, until the gem is positioned within the channel such that if the gem and ring together are placed in an upside down position, the gem will not fall out of the channel. Next, the upper part of each channel is permanently bent over the crown of the gem, to thereby secure the gem in the channel. | 10-02-2008 |
