| 20110047539 | SOFTWARE DEFINED RADIO MANAGEMENT - A system for facilitating the management of reconfigurable communication resources. These reconfigurable communication resources may include, for example, software defined radio (SDR) modules. SDR modules may comprise fixed hardware-level support for a multitude of wireless radios whose operation/protocols are defined at the software level. A variety of software-based radio definitions (e.g., radio software) may be stored on the apparatus, the radio software defining operation/protocol for one or more radios. Radios defined in the stored radio software may be individually loaded into the SDR module in order to emulate the operation (e.g., wireless communication) of corresponding hardware-based radio modules. Loading radios into, or the unloading of radios from, the SDR module may be managed based on decision criteria. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20110117900 | METHOD, APPARATUS AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR PRESENTING CALL RELATED MESSAGES TO A USER - A method is provided for transmitting a communication request to a user device of a first communication type, receiving a message during the communication request or within a predetermined amount of time after the communication request, of a second communication type. If the message received is from the user device, then it may be immediately presented or displayed. If the message is not from the user device, then it is precluded from being presented until the communication request is completed. The first communication type may be in the form of a voice call and the user device may be a mobile phone. The second communication type may be a text message, E-mail, or other mode of communication that differs from the first communication type. | 05-19-2011 |

| 20080214210 | LOCATION-BASED NOVELTY INDEX VALUE AND RECOMMENDATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - The invention is a system and method for computing a result for a location, wherein the result indicates how novel it is for a wireless device to occupy a specific location. After determining the location of a wireless device through various means, a Novelty Index Value (NIV) is calculated for the location, and the NIV is then stored into a database. The NIV may then be subsequently used by application programs to compute a desired result from the NIV. Multiple users may utilize and/or share the same NIV values. The NIV may also be used to alter the configuration of a wireless device as well. A recommendation system is also disclosed, wherein user context is utilized along with NIV values to compute particular results for a user. | 09-04-2008 |
