    摘要: A sponsor compensates an entity, such as a wireless service provider or an intermediary, in exchange for allowing the sponsor to advertise on a card, such as a phone card. The card, which is available for purchase by consumers, is used to purchase a wireless service. In some embodiments, the compensation paid by the sponsor to the entity subsidizes the cost of the wireless service for the consumer. In use, the card is coupled to an advertising-enabled wireless terminal. The advertising that appears on the card is visible to the user through the back cover of the wireless terminal. The sponsor card must remain coupled to wireless terminal for the consumer to use the service that was purchased via the sponsor card.

    摘要: An electronic device includes a generic user interface that is interoperable with at least two modules to create different types of electronic devices (e.g., a wireless handset, a personal digital assistant, etc.) or different models (having different features) of the same type of device. The generic user interface has a look and feel that is similar an existing consumer electronics device and maintains this look and feel regardless of which module is connected to it.

    摘要: A limited-capability wireless terminal that is particularly well adapted for use in emergency situations, recreational activities and occasional calls is disclosed. The detachable wireless terminal does not have a display or a numeric keypad. Rather, the detachable wireless terminal has several “one-touch” buttons that place a call to pre-programmed phone numbers when pressed. The detachable wireless terminal is small enough and light enough to be worn around a user's neck, received by a lanyard or a necklace. The wireless terminal detachably couples to a relatively larger docking device, which can be used to program it.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for use in conjunction with a “push” approach to multimedia content delivery is disclosed. Content that is received by the client is stored in memory. Items of content that are of interest to the user are “preserved” in memory by the user. Feedback relating, among other things, to which items of content have been preserved is returned to the server. Additional content, which is based on the user feedback, is sent to the client. The additional content overwrites items of content that have not been preserved by the user.

    摘要: A portable terminal having personal computing capability and wireless telecommunications capability. The portable terminal includes a display that is integral with, or otherwise attached to, a display. A housing is rotatably-coupled to the base and/or display. The portable terminal can be closed, wherein the housing overlies the base, or open, wherein base and housing flank the display. The display is fully visible to a user whether the portable terminal is open or closed. When open, a keyboard having keys that are apportioned between the housing and the base is accessible. To accommodate a change in the way in which a user is likely to hold and view the portable terminal when it's closed versus when it's open, the image in the display screen is rotated on command, or automatically, when the portable terminal is opened.
