20080215684Wireless E-Mail System and Method for Using Same - A wireless e-mail system and method is disclosed. The system comprises a wireless mobile device comprising an e-mail client, an e-mail server, a gateway, a mobile network interconnecting the wireless mobile device and the gateway, and a broadband network interconnecting the gateway and the e-mail server. When the client transmits a single self-contained request to the gateway via the mobile network to retrieve a set of e-mail related information from the e-mail server, the gateway retrieves at least the e-mail related information from the e-mail server via the broadband network using a plurality of transactions, compiles the retrieved information into a single self contained response and transmits the single response via the mobile network to the e-mail client.09-04-2008
20080229230Context Sensitive Concealment of an Input Field - A method for concealing and revealing sensitive data on an electronic communications device is disclosed. The electronic communications device comprises a plurality of keys, a display upon which a series of characters are adapted to be displayed, the series of characters forming a character string and composed by input operation of a subset of the plurality of Keys, and a processor for implementing at least one module that includes at least one security component. The module i) receives the series of characters during an entry period, the series of characters forming a character string, the entry period comprised of at least one activity period during which the character string is displayed and one inactivity period during which the character string is obscured, ii) detects an inactivity event during the at least one activity period, the activity period ending when the inactivity event has been detected and iii) detects an activity event during the at least one inactivity period, the inactivity period ending when the activity event has been detected. The module may also iv) detect a completion of composition event, the entry period ending when the composition completion event has been detected and v) conceal permanently the character string after the entry period ends.09-18-2008
20080263170Method and System for Communicating Message Notifications to Mobile Devices - There is disclosed a system and method for choosing between different Communication Initiation Request (CIR) channels in a mobile communications system when there are multiple CIR channels amongst which to choose. Additionally, there is disclosed a system and method for exploiting a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection usage pattern that is characterized by periods of inactivity.10-23-2008
20080307517Method for Securely Associating Data with Http and Https Sessions - A computing system, method and product comprising a server, a mobile device comprising a client interconnected with the server via a data network, the client identified by a credential which is unavailable to the client and an intermediate node interconnected to the client and the server via the data network wherein the credential is available to the intermediate node. Upon reception of a service request from the client at a first server address the server redirects the client to transmit the service request to a second server address via the intermediate node together with a token, wherein the intermediate node appends a credential identifying the client to the redirected service request and the token and relays the redirected service request, the token and the credential to the second server address.12-11-2008
20090170512Maintaining IMS Registration While Disconnected from IP Bearer - user equipment while the user equipment is disconnected from the system. The user equipment connects to the proxy and establishes a proxy session with the proxy. The proxy opens a proxy session for the user equipment, establishes a registration within said IMS network for IMS services on behalf of the user equipment; and maintains the registration for the user equipment for the duration of the proxy session. While the proxy session is ongoing, the user equipment can disconnect from the IP proxy.07-02-2009
20110161427METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR LOCATION-AWARE MESSAGING - An approach is provided for insertion of location-related information into a communication message. A communication message is received from an application resident on a mobile device, wherein the communication message specifies location-related information that includes addressing information or point-of-interest information, and the application includes either an electronic mail application, an instant messaging application, or a social networking application. The location-related information is extracted from the communication message. The location-related information is presented as an actionable item that triggers an action to be executed.06-30-2011

20110208801METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SUGGESTING ALTERNATE ACTIONS TO ACCESS SERVICE CONTENT - An approach is provided for suggesting an alternate action associated with service content. The suggestion platform receives a request, from a device, for accessing service content. Next, the suggestion platform determines at least one alternate action associated with the service content. Then, the suggestion platform suggests the alternate action for accessing the service content.08-25-2011
20110289520METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INTEGRATING APPLICATIONS ON DEMAND TO DISPLAY AND MANIPULATE A SEMANTIC RESOURCE - An approach is provided for integrating applications on demand to display and manipulate a semantic resource. An integrating application causes, at least in part, reception of a request for a semantic resource, and determines whether the semantic resource is known to a first application. The integrating application discovers one or more properties of the semantic resource based, at least in part, on the determination. The integrating application identifies a second application associated with the semantic resource based, at least in part, on the one or more properties. The integrating application causes, at least in part, presentation of the semantic resource through the second application.11-24-2011
