Contact information, such as an email address, may be known for some recipients, but may be unknown or out-of-date (or obsolete) for others. However, often a group of recipients are related to each other with potentially overlapping social networks. In such cases, data can be communicated directly to those recipients that are known or can otherwise be contacted directly, while relying on such "direct recipients" to act as one or more proxies for sending the data to the others in the group, e.g. using their local contact information. A server can also be used to provide updates to the originating device or provide access to the list as it evolves, to enable the originating device to see who has received the data even if they are unaware of how the data reached those other devices.
摘要:
A method includes detecting when a portable electronic device having a touch-sensitive display is disposed in a holster and monitoring an area of the touch-sensitive display for a query gesture. When the query gesture is detected in association with the area, a function associated with the query gesture is performed.
摘要:
A method of retrieving a data item from a database synchronized with the contents of an unavailable mobile communication device. The owner of the unavailable mobile communication device uses a telephone such as a landline telephone, a cell phone or a VolP telephone to call the number of the unavailable communication device. That is the owner calls his own telephone number. A server with access to the database provides the caller with options to retrieve the data item, which can be a contact name, a telephone number, an address, an email message, etc.
摘要:
An overlay includes a sheet corresponding to a plurality of keys that are associated with an application for a portable electronic device. A plurality of magnets has a set of orientations associated with the application. The set of orientations is identifiable by the portable electronic device, such that the application is opened upon identification of the application associated with the set of orientations.
摘要:
A method including receiving an input of a character from a virtual keyboard displayed on a display, generating a set of predicted input characters based on the input character, and displaying the generated set of characters in partitions of the virtual keyboard in proximate association with candidate letters is disclosed. An electronic device and a keyboard configured to perform the method are also disclosed.
摘要:
A virtual keyboard providing an indication of received input and method of controlling the same is provided. The method comprises receiving an input of a character from a virtual keyboard displayed on a display, and highlighting a key in the virtual keyboard which corresponds to the input character when the input character belongs to a current set of characters which is incomplete.
摘要:
A method including receiving an input of a character from a virtual keyboard displayed on a display, generating one or more sets of predicted input characters based on the input character, wherein each set of predicted input characters corresponds to a subsequent candidate input character, and displaying a visual indication of at least some of the one or more sets of predicted input characters, wherein the visual indication is displayed at keys of the virtual keyboard associated with subsequent candidate input characters corresponding to the sets of predicted input characters.
摘要:
In one example, information is presented to a user through an electronic device (100, 1400) in a non-visual manner. In this example, an informational event is received (116, 1308). Next, a determination is made if the informational event has been previously associated with a binaural sound sequence, the binaural sound sequence includes a user's nominal ear spacing for sound localization in a 3D space (1306, 1308, FIG. 12 ). The binaural sound sequence is presented to a multimedia port, in response to a binaural sound sequence being previously associated with the event (118, 1310). The localization in the 3D space using a binaural sound can be associated with importance, future times, source of information associated with the event, a person associated with the event or a combination thereof.
