The method comprises the steps of: determining locations in the memory to search for the available media files; the locations including all memory devices of the wireless device suitable for storing the media flies except for one or more predetermined folders contained in the memory, searching the determined locations for files to include in the listing of available media files; locating files not yet included in the listing of available media files; determining if the located files meet criteria of the search and identifying located files that meet the criteria of the search as suitable media files, and displaying a menu including the suitable media files.10-09-2008
20100211908SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SCROLLING INFORMATION IN A UI TABLE - Displaying information in a column of a user interface (UI) on a display screen is enhanced by a column scroll control that displays information that is otherwise truncated from display in the space allocated to the column. The control is sensitive to a threshold limited scrolling input from a user to activate the display of the information ticker style. The display of the remainder of the user interface may be maintained while the column is scrolled. The controls are advantageous for trackball and similar pointing devices especially those used with handheld wireless communication devices (cellular phones, PDAs, smart phones, etc.) where one handed operation is desirable and where display screen sizes and resolutions often require truncation of information in a particular column entry or entries.08-19-2010
20100259369NAVIGATION TOOL WITH AUDIBLE FEEDBACK ON A HANDHELD COMMUNICATION DEVICE HAVING A FULL ALPHABETIC KEYBOARD - System and method that provides tactical feedback through a speaker of a handheld electronic device having a full alphabetic keyboard upon activation of a navigation tool. The audible feedback produced by the speaker is capable of being modified based on upon the location, speed, and other characteristics of the movement of a cursor on the display of a handheld electronic device. The sound produced by the speaker can originate from an audio file stored or otherwise available on the handheld electronic device.10-14-2010
20100287533SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING A PARAMETER FOR AN APPLICATION OPERATING ON AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE - The disclosure relates to a system, method and device for modifying a parameter for an application operating on an electronic device. The method comprises the steps of: (a) upon activation of the device, determining a state of initial configuration for the device; (b) if the state indicates that the device requires configuration, providing a GUI interface allowing for changes to be made to the parameter; and (c) if a change is made to the parameter through the interface, updating a storage location with the change. In the method, the device may have communication capabilities with a network; and time zone information relating to the location of the device may be provided from the network or from the device; and the time zone information may be used to update an aspect relating to the parameter.11-11-2010
20110169981CAMERA WITH AUTOMATIC FLUORESCENT LIGHTING MODE - A novel method and apparatus for controlling operation of a photosensor array in a portable electronic device to reduce flicker resulting from fluorescent light having a periodic intensity. The method comprises selecting a time zone in which the device is to be operated, correlating the time zone with a corresponding frequency of the fluorescent light, and signaling the photosensor array to operate in accordance with a mode optimized to reduce flicker based on the selected time zone.07-14-2011
20120069985INTEGRATED DIALING - Call initiation on a device with potential for a large number of stored telephone numbers is simplified through the use of an integrated field for entry of an ambiguous filter string. As it is not clear, a priori, whether the user is manually specifying, in the integrated field, a telephone number or providing a filter string for filtering contacts, filtering is performed based on at least one filter string. Among the contacts that are part of a filtering result list, a default contact is selected for quick access.03-22-2012

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090113251REAL-TIME ANALYSIS OF PERFORMANCE DATA OF A VIDEO GAME - A method for analyzing the performance of a video game uses a diagnostic tool that is associated with application code of the video game. The diagnostic tool is activated when the video game is in operation, and real-time performance data is captured and displayed. A warning is generated when a performance metric violates a pre-set condition. The warning may be displayed on a display screen that is used to provide information for rectifying the violation.04-30-2009
