| 20090054030 | MOBILE BILLBOARD AND USAGE ADVISOR - System for providing dynamic recommendations associated with usage of a wireless communication service from a service provider (SP) of a user. A memory area stores at least one or more of the following service usage information: a service plan of the wireless communication service of the user, a service charge structure of a wireless communication service, a service coverage area of the wireless communication service provider (SP), a usage information of the wireless communication service of the user, and tariff information associated with the usage. A processor is configured to execute computer-executable instructions for monitoring the usage of the wireless communication service. The processor is also configured to correlate the monitored usage with the service usage information stored on the memory area. The processor is configured to generate a recommendation based on the correlation of the monitored usage and the service usage information. The generated recommendation provides a cost analysis of using the wireless communication service by the user. An interface provides the generated recommendation associated with the usage to the user. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090054078 | INTELLIGENT GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM (GPS) INFORMATION DETECTION - Intelligently caching global positioning system (GPS) location information from GPS satellites based on cellular radio signal strength received at a portable device. The GPS satellites broadcasts signals to the portable device and the cellular radio signal strength is at a first level indicative of a low GPS reception strength. A second level, at the portable device, of the cellular radio signal strength is detected, and the second level is indicative of an increase in GPS reception strength. GPS location information is speculatively read from the GPS satellites associated with the portable device in response to the detected second level and the increase of the GPS reception strength. The GPS location information is cached on the portable device such that the GPS location information is available to the portable device when the first level of the cellular radio signal strength is less than the second level. | 02-26-2009 |
| 20090055415 | DYNAMIC AND VERSATILE NOTEPAD - Method for providing a versatile notepad for social networking and interactions with a plurality of users. An input content is received from a user. The received input content is analyzed based on at least the following expression types: expression indicative of time, expression indicative of a location, expression indicative of a statement, expression indicative of an individual, an expression indicative of a list, and a combination of expressions indicative the time, the location, the statement, the list, and the individual. The analyzed information is dynamically converted to a communication object as a function of the expression types. The communication object is rendered to the user. | 02-26-2009 |
