| 20100105437 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PRESENTING CONFERENCE CALL PARTICIPANT INDENTIFIER IMAGES ON A DISPLAY OF A MOBILE DEVICE - The described embodiments relate generally to methods and systems for displaying on a handheld electronic device a plurality of participant images corresponding to a plurality of conference call participants. The device includes a display, a communications module configured for sending and receiving communication signals; and a display interface operatively coupled to the display and to the communications module, wherein the display interface is configured to respond to user input. The method comprises: establishing a conference call having a plurality of participants; displaying a participant screen on the display; for each participant, determining a participant identifier image; and displaying on the participant screen a dynamic carousel comprising a plurality of participant identifier images. The mobile device may include an image database comprising at least one stored image, and wherein at least one participant identifier image is selected from the at least one stored image. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100131521 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING MEMORY IN AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A method and apparatus for managing a memory at an electronic device is provided. A first number of new media files that can be stored in the memory in a current format is determined. It is determined if a memory management condition is met. If the memory management condition is met, the current format is setting to a second format such that the memory can store a second number of new media files, if acquired, a given new media file in the second format occupying less of the memory than if the given new media file is in the current format, such that the second number is greater than the first number. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20100162168 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR MANAGING MEMORY AND PROCESSING RESOURCES FOR THE CONTROL OF A DISPLAY SCREEN TO FIX DISPLAYED POSITIONS OF SELECTED ITEMS ON THE DISPLAY SCREEN - A computer implemented method and system of fixing the display position of selected items on the display screen of a hand-held computing device is disclosed. The method includes displaying at least a portion of a list having at least one non-fixed item on said display screen; selecting a subset of items from said list to be positionally fixed; storing a displayed position of each item in said subset; associating each item in said subset with a pinned icon; and displaying each positionally fixed item and its associated pinned icon at its stored display position, wherein each pinned icon is positioned proximate to said item to which it is associated. | 06-24-2010 |
| 20100164879 | Portable electronic device and method of controlling same - A method of controlling a touch-sensitive display includes displaying a keyboard on the touch-sensitive display. A key of the keyboard is associated with at least two characters. Confirmation of selection is detected and a plurality of touch locations on the touch-sensitive display are detected. At least one of the plurality of touch locations is associated with the key. A direction is determined based on at least two of the plurality of touch locations and a first character of the at least two characters is selected based on the direction and confirmation of selection. | 07-01-2010 |
| 20100214237 | TOUCH-SENSITIVE DISPLAY AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME - Information including a first part of a list is displayed on a touch-sensitive display ( | 08-26-2010 |
| 20100223542 | METHOD, SYSTEM AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING PINNED BOOKMARKS - A method, apparatus and system for producing pinned bookmarks is provided. Hardware components of a computing device are enabled to process a browser application for retrieving browser data from a remote computing device and control a display device to display at least a first representation of the browser data. Positional data indicative of a selection of a portion of the first representation of the browser data displayed at the display device is received. The positional data is stored in the memory device in association with at least one identifier of the browser data and at least a subset of the portion. Independent of the status of the browser application, the data stored in the memory device can be retrieved and the display device can be controlled to provide a pinned bookmark representation of the at least one identifier and at least a segment of the at least the subset, such that the at least a subset can be identified and selected, and that upon selection of the at least a subset, the browser data can be requested and received via the at least one identifier, and the display device can be controlled, using the positional data, to provide a second representation of the browser data, the second representation including the portion. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20110109561 | PORTABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME - A method includes rendering an interface area for inputting a first plurality of characters associated with a plurality of locations on a touch-sensitive display of a portable electronic device, detecting, by the touch-sensitive display, a first gesture in a first direction on the touch-sensitive display, associating a second set of characters with the plurality of locations in response to detecting the gesture. | 05-12-2011 |
| 20120032890 | METHOD AND HANDHELD ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING FIRST INPUT COMPONENT AND SECOND TOUCH SENSITIVE INPUT COMPONENT - A handheld electronic device includes a housing having a surface; a first input component having input members disposed external to the surface; a second touch sensitive input component disposed about the input members, the touch sensitive input component being separate and distinct from the input members and the first input component and being structured to provide one of: a contact point with respect to the surface responsive to actuation of a first number of the input members, and a number of responses responsive to actuation of a second number of the input members. A processor cooperates with the first input component and the touch sensitive input component to determine if a plurality of the input members are actuated contemporaneously and to output a representation of a single one of the input members based upon one of: the contact point, and the number of responses. | 02-09-2012 |
