20120221384 | SYSTEM, METHOD, AND APPARATUS FOR ORGANIZING AND DISTRIBUTING APPS - Methods and apparatus for distributing processor-executable apps are disclosed. The method includes receiving an app from a developer, categorizing the app so as to associate the app with a particular category, combining the app with other apps that are associated with the particular category so as to create a collection of apps that are associated with the particular category, offering access to the collection of apps in return for compensation, and compensating the developer responsive to receiving the app. | 08-30-2012 |
20120254746 | TRANSFERRING DATA BY TOUCH BETWEEN TOUCH-SCREEN DEVICES - A very intuitive and simple set of touch-screen input steps along with the processing of those input steps allows a user to appear to gather shareable files with his fingers on one touch-screen apparatus, lift the files from the touch-screen and drop the shareable files on a touch screen of a second, co-located touch-screen apparatus. The touch-screen apparatus initiating the transfer of files is preset with sharing parameters to manage the transfer of files to a local or remote server. One or more touch-screen apparatus accepting the transfer of files is preset with acceptance parameters to manage the transfer of files from the server to the accepting touch-screen apparatus. Once the files are at the server, multiple touch-screen apparatus may be used to request shareable files from the server. | 10-04-2012 |
20130052954 | DATA TRANSFER BETWEEN MOBILE COMPUTING DEVICES - A first mobile computing device comprising a first mobile computing device touch screen, one or more files, one or more sensors adapted to detect a first location of a second mobile computing device relative to the first mobile computing device upon the second mobile computing device being located proximally to the one or more sensors, and one or more first mobile computing device applications, wherein, the one or more first mobile computing device applications, communicatively receives the first location of the second mobile computing device from the one or more sensors, and communicatively transfers the one or more files to the second mobile computing device upon at least one of, touching the first mobile computing device touch screen with a touching device and sliding the touching device towards the first location of the second mobile computing device, and moving the second mobile computing device from the first location to a second location. | 02-28-2013 |
20130084797 | MOBILE COMMUNICATION-DEVICE-CONTROLLED OPERATIONS - Methods and mobile devices for performing operations responsive to user actions are disclosed. The method includes prompting a user of a mobile device to make a particular action that is detectable by the mobile device, and prompting the user to select a particular operation that the user desires to have effectuated when the particular action is subsequently carried out. In addition, an indicator of the particular action is stored on the mobile device in connection with an indicator of the particular operation to associate the particular action with the particular operation. And after registration, when the particular action is sensed with the mobile device, the particular operation is effectuated. | 04-04-2013 |
20130151335 | WIRELESS SMART SHOPPING FRAMEWORK - A wireless smart shopping framework is disclosed. An operator of a retail premises provides displays of products in a product display portion of a retail premises to enable shoppers to view features of the products, but the products are stored in an inventory portion of the retail premises that is separate from the product display portion of the retail premises. Shoppers browse the product display portion of the retail premises and scan product identifying information (e.g., by taking pictures of the displayed products). The operator receives, via a wireless receiver, the product-identifying information for selected products from the wireless mobile communication device, and gathers the selected products from the inventory portion. When the shopper is done shopping, the selected products are moved to a checkout location and payment is received for the selected products. | 06-13-2013 |
20130191397 | LOCATION BASED APPS RANKING FOR MOBILE WIRELESS COMPUTING AND COMMUNICATING DEVICES - Systems, methods, and apparatuses are disclosed for presenting applications to a user, via a mobile wireless communication device (user equipment), that are selected and ranked based on context information describing a location and type of motion of the user equipment, and/or a time that the ranking request was made, compared to context information describing the applications. | 07-25-2013 |
20130210407 | MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICE WITH IMPROVED NETWORK CONNECTIVITY - Methods and systems for applying power to a mobile device responsive to user actions are disclosed. An exemplary method includes detecting, while a mobile device is powered down, actions made by a user in connection with the user handling the mobile device without pressing a power button of the mobile device. A prediction is then made that the user is about to power up the mobile device based upon particular actions made by the user. And before the user presses the power button, power is applied to processing and network communication components of the mobile device so that if the user presses the power button, the processing and network communication components are already powered; thus reducing an amount of time it takes for the mobile device to access a network with the mobile device. | 08-15-2013 |
20130298138 | PRIVACY APPLICATION AND METHOD - A computing device comprising an operating system comprising one or more operating system features, a plurality of applications and a background service. A first of the plurality of applications is adapted to create one or more privacy groups and associate a remainder of the plurality of applications with at least one of the one or more privacy groups. The background service is adapted to (i) communicate with the first of the plurality of applications and the one or more operating system features, and (ii) associate at least one of the remainder of the plurality of applications and one of the one or more privacy groups with the one or more operating system features. | 11-07-2013 |
20140025993 | FRAMEWORK FOR TESTING AND EVALUATING MOBILE COMMUNICATION DEVICES - A framework and associated systems and methods for testing mobile communication devices are disclosed. An exemplary method includes receiving user-action data from each of a plurality of user-action-capture devices. The user-action data received from the user-action-capture devices includes data that characterizes a plurality of user actions that were performed on the user-action-capture devices. The user-action data is consolidated into generic representations of the user actions to create a superset of generally-applicable-user-action data, and each generic representation of a user action in the superset represents two or more similar user actions. The generally-applicable-user-action data is then used to test mobile communication devices that are different than the user-action-capture devices. | 01-23-2014 |
