摘要:
Methods for remotely controlling actions of a virtual world identity of a user include transmitting instructions to the virtual world identity of the user from a mobile terminal associated with a real world identity of the user. The instructions are transmitted as a voice call, a text message and/or an instant message (IM). Updated information associated with the transmitted instructions is received from the virtual world identity of the user at the mobile terminal. The updated information includes an identification of a condition triggering transmission of the updated information.

A method and apparatus for receiving common program content at a mobile station in different networks is described herein. While in a home network, the mobile station receives selected program content via a first broadcast channel. When the mobile station moves into a visited network, a mapping processor in the mobile station maps the first broadcast channel to a second broadcast channel broadcasting the selected program content in the visited network. Subsequently, the mobile station receives the selected content on the second broadcast channel as long as the mobile station remains in the visited network. As a result, the mapping process is transparent to the user.
摘要:
A method, implemented by a calling party's user terminal (UT-A), for placing a call from the calling party to a remote called party and a corresponding user terminal (UT-A). If the calling party's user terminal (UT-A) is available to access a packet data network (30), the call is established with the called party's user terminal (UT-C) over the packet data network. If the calling party's user terminal (UT-A) is not available to access the packet data network (30), a third-party user terminal (UT-D) available to relay the call is identified, communication with the third party is established via an alternative network, and the third-party user terminal (UT-D) is requested to relay the call to the called party's user terminal (UT-C) via the packet data network (30).
摘要:
Methods and apparatus for controlling access to a secure facility are disclosed, wherein a determination of whether access is permitted is based at least in part on a digital image of one or more predetermined features of the secure facility. In an exemplary method, an image of a predetermined feature of the secure facility is captured by a user device and compared to stored security data corresponding to the secure facility. A determination of whether access to the secure facility is permitted is made, based on the results of the comparison. The predetermined feature may be a security mechanism attached to the secure facility, for example, or may be textual information, a graphical image, or a machine-readable code posted at the security facility.

The wireless communication device described herein includes a processor configured to detect a push-to-talk event and trigger a location operation responsive to the push-to-talk event. According to one exemplary embodiment, the processor determines a location of the wireless communication device and/or one or more remote wireless communication devices when the processor detects a floor control event. According to another exemplary embodiment, the processor determines a location of the wireless communication device and/or one or more remote wireless communication devices when the processor detects a session entrance event. As a result, a user may advantageously use location information about the wireless communication device and/or a remote wireless communication device to facilitate push-to-talk communications.
摘要:
A consumer electronics device (10) comprises a receiver (36) to receive a broadcast signal transmitted by a commercial broadcast radio station (70), a controller (30), and a communications interface (32). The broadcast radio signal comprises multimedia content that may be rendered to the user and information identifying the multimedia content. The controller (30) generates a request to download the multimedia content using the information identifying the multimedia content. The communications interface (32) transmits the request to a server (80, 88) in a communications network, which download the requested multimedia content to a user-designated device if the content is available.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for adapting a wireless terminal (100) to different short-range wireless network requirements based on a region of operation associated with a location of the wireless terminal (100) as described herein. The wireless terminal (100) determines a region of operation associated with the location of the wireless terminal (100). Exemplary regions of operation may include a country or a group of countries. Based on the determined region of operation, a controller (120, 122) in the wireless terminal (100) configures a short-range wireless transceiver (112) in the wireless terminal (100) to operate within one or more operating parameters.
