20090025089 | Security System Based on Input Shortcuts for a Computer Device - A method of activating security functions on a computer device, for example a mobile communications device. The computer device includes a device state that may be realized by way of a first user input or a second user input. The method includes designating the first user input to realize the device state as a security rule having an associated security function, detecting realization of the device state, and activating the associated security function if the device state was realized by way of the second user input rather than the first user input. For example, the first user input may be a shortcut input, and the second user input may be a conventional or normal input. | 01-22-2009 |
20090257442 | DISTRIBUTED ROUTER APPLICATION SERIALIZATION - A router, which may be a wireless gateway, for routing messages between communications networks, including a persistent storage, and a transport interface for sending outgoing messages to communications devices associated with a first communications network, and receiving incoming messages from the communications devices, and having a storage for storing pending outgoing and incoming messages for subsequent sending by the interface component, the transport interface being coupled to the persistent storage and having an associated shutdown module for serializing at least some of the pending messages to the persistent storage during shutdown of the interface component. The router may include a plurality of the transport interfaces, and a controller coupled to the transport interfaces for directing at least one of the transport interfaces to retrieve from the persistent storage for subsequent sending the pending messages serialized thereto by a further one of the transport interfaces during shutdown thereof. | 10-15-2009 |
20100005523 | COMPUTING DEVICE WITH ENVIRONMENT AWARE FEATURES - A method and mobile electronic device are provided which automatically adjust settings based on the environment of the mobile electronic device. The settings of the mobile electronic device which are adjusted may be security settings, filter settings, or status for instant messaging in dependence on the determined location of the mobile electronic device. | 01-07-2010 |
20100216435 | METHOD AND SYSTEM TO AUTOMATICALLY PARK A VOICE CALL FOR DATA TRANSFER - A system and method to automatically park a voice call on a mobile electronic device so that the device can receive data, comprising a switch for establishing a voice call at the at least one caller device, a database for storing at least one call processing rule, and an enterprise data server for receiving a data message, comparing contents of the data message with at least one rule in the database, and in the event that the contents match the rule then parking the call, switching the mobile electronic device to a data mode of operation, downloading the data message to the device and un-parking the call. | 08-26-2010 |
20100235212 | METHOD, SYSTEM AND APPARATUS FOR UPDATING A CALENDAR DATABASE FROM AN AVAILABILITY DATABASE AND A REPORTING STRUCTURE DATABASE - A method apparatus and system for assembling meeting data to update a calendar database are provided, based on meeting request data including meeting invitees and a given time period, and further based on availability data from at least one availability database. Availability data associated with each meeting invitee is processed to determine availability of each meeting invitee during the given time period, and determine at least one unavailable invitee that is unavailable during the given time period. Reporting structure data is processed, from a reporting structure, to determine a respective alternate invitee for each at least one unavailable invitee. Availability data associated with each alternate invitee is processed to determine whether each alternate invitee is available during the given time period. If so, meeting data is assembled, for storage in the calendar database, the meeting data including respective identifiers of meeting invitees available during the given time period and of each alternate invitee, and meeting data is caused to be stored in the calendar database. | 09-16-2010 |
20110105073 | COMPUTING DEVICE WITH ENVIRONMENT AWARE FEATURES - A method and mobile electronic device are provided which automatically adjust settings based on the environment of the mobile electronic device. The settings of the mobile electronic device which are adjusted may be security settings, filter settings, or status for instant messaging in dependence on the determined location of the mobile electronic device. | 05-05-2011 |
20110238771 | DISTRIBUTED ROUTER APPLICATION SERIALIZATION - A method of shutting down a message routing component that has stored thereon outgoing messages that are destined for a communications device, the shutting down method including storing selected messages from the outgoing messages to a persistent storage. Also a system for routing messages, including: a persistent storage; and a message routing component having a memory for storing outgoing messages that are destined for a communications device, the message routing component being configured to store selected messages from the outgoing messages to the persistent storage when shutting down. | 09-29-2011 |
20120176905 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DELIVERING MESSAGES OVER MULTIPLE MEDIUMS - A method of and device for transmitting a data message to a communication device configured to receive data through a plurality of communications mediums, including: assigning a first priority to a first component of the data message and a second priority to a second component of the data message; sending the first message component to the communication device over an available communications medium; and queuing the second component for delivery via a communication medium having a lower relative data transmission cost than the medium over which the first component was sent. | 07-12-2012 |
