An improved electronic device and method provide an improved clock feature that includes a BEDTIME mode that is initiated by execution of a BEDTIME mode routine. The BEDTIME mode comprises a number of features that are conducive to sleep by performing operations that minimize distractions to a user, and all such operations are initiated by execution of the BEDTIME mode routine.

The storage included with smart phones allows for the maintenance of: an extensive contact list accessed by an address book application; an appointment list accessed by a calendar application; and an e-mail message library accessed by a messaging application. However, for the most part, smart phone designers have not used the wealth of information available on a smart phone to enhance a telephone call. It has been recognized that, while participating in a telephone call, it would be advantageous to have some information relating to the other party readily available. As such, for a given telephone call, information relating to the other party may be automatically located and references to information are displayed, thereby providing a context for the call. The information may include: Past Appointments (322), i.e., recent meetings associated with the contact; Future Appointments (324) i.e., upcoming meetings associated with the contact; and Messages (326), i.e., e-mail messages, SMS messages and Instant Messaging messages both to and from the contact.
摘要:
Based on bounds of a period of reduced operation for a base device, a base device generates a power management message for transmission to a peripheral device. In the power management message, the base device inserts bounds of a period of reduced operation for the peripheral device. As a result, the periods of reduced operation conserve battery power in both devices and the two devices may reestablish a communications channel upon reaching the end of the period of reduced operation and resuming normal operations.

The present disclosure relates to a system and method for selecting a network for use by a communication device to process a data transmission. In the method, the following actions are conducted: tracking transmission characteristics of networks used by the device; maintaining a set of options for the device relating to the networks, including at least one option based on the transmission characteristics; utilizing a selected option identify a selected network to process the data transmission by the communication device; and processing the data transmission using the selected network.
