20080227407METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR AUTOMATICALLY ADJUSTING REMINDER VOLUME ON A MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE - A method and apparatus for automatically adjusting volume of an audio signal on a mobile device, comprising playing the audio signal at an initial volume, sampling the audio signal, estimating a transfer function based on an echo path characteristic between the played audio signal and sampled audio signal, selecting a volume policy based on the estimated transfer function, and adjusting the volume of the audio signal in accordance with the selected volume policy.09-18-2008
20090003581Role-Based Programmable Telephone Keys - A method of configuring a telephone, comprising configuring a plurality of self-labeling Role Keys to represent respective user roles, and configuring a plurality of self-labeling Role Associated Keys associated with respective ones of the self-labeling Role Keys such that upon user selection of one of the self-labeling Role Keys representing a predetermined user role, the plurality of self-labeling Role Associated Keys are presented to the user for invoking respective features associated with the selected user role.01-01-2009
20090109244Method and apparatus for maintaining a visual appearance of at least one window when a resolution of the screen changes - A method and apparatus for maintaining a visual appearance of at least one window displayed on a screen after a change in a resolution of the screen includes a first step of receiving a display change notice indicative that the resolution of the screen is to be changed from a current screen resolution to a new screen resolution. A second step of determining the current screen resolution. A third step of determining the new screen resolution. A fourth step of generating at least one scaling factor based on the current screen resolution and the new screen resolution. A fifth step of transmitting a windows resize to a window drawing module for triggering drawing the window on the screen using the new visual parameters when the resolution changes from the current screen resolution to the new screen resolution.04-30-2009
20090110157Method and apparatus for managing a call - A method and apparatus for managing a call is provided, call data associated with an interaction on the call is captured, the call data comprising a satisfaction level associated with the interaction. The call data is logged for follow-up by a handling point specialized in dealing with satisfaction levels, if the satisfaction level goes beyond a threshold satisfaction level.04-30-2009
20090113163Method and apparatus for managing a memory for storing potentially configurable entries in a list - A method and apparatus for managing a memory for storing potentially configurable entries in a list, associated with a resource coupled to a central resource manager, is provided. A number of potentially configurable entries in the list are determined. A block of memory for storing data associated with each potentially configurable entry is allocated from the memory. If the block of memory is insufficient for storing the data, at least one extended block of memory is allocated from the memory, for storing the data.04-30-2009
20090129574Method of configuring telephone softkeys - A method and system are described for configuring and presenting softkeys on a device. Softkey profiles are created for assigning a feature to a softkey on a device for each of a plurality of device states; and each such softkey is presented on the device for each of device state. A conflict resolution mechanism is described for resolving any softkey availability conflict between a predetermined feature and a mandatory system softkey for each of device states. A softkey management mechanism is also described for managing presentation of context specific features for each softkey.05-21-2009
20090138569Method and apparatus for identifying occurrences of a given network address - A method and apparatus for identifying occurrences of a given network address is provided. A request is transmitted comprising data associated with the given network address to at least one remote communication device, the request for triggering a lookup of at least a portion of the data in a directory associated with the at least one remote communication device. At least one message is received indicative that the data associated with the given network address is present in the directory.05-28-2009
20100074426Method and apparatus for provisioning a communication device - A method, apparatus and system for provisioning a communication device in communication with a switch within a communication system is provided. A registration request is received from the communication device at the switch. A device identifier is assigned to the communication device, the device identifier uniquely identifying the communication device to the switch. An address identifier is derived for the communication device based on the device identifier and a string associated with at least the switch, such that the communication device is registered within the communication system via the address identifier in order to initiate and receive communications via the communication system. The device identifier, the string and the address identifier may be stored in a database in communication with the switch.03-25-2010
20110004496System and method for arranging a meeting time for a commuter with a transit system - A system and method for arranging a meeting time for a commuter with a transit system is disclosed. The method includes communicating the commuter's travel path, advance notification time, and contact information to the transit system. The commuter is informed via the commuter's contact information of an estimated arrival time for a transit vehicle in the transit system at a selected stop on the commuter's travel path. This enables the commuter to arrive at the selected stop based on the estimated arrival time. A transit vehicle driver is notified when the commuter has arrived at the transit vehicle on the commuter's travel path. The transit driver can then proceed with the commuter on the transit vehicle.01-06-2011
