Abstract:
Embodiments relate to a portable computer comprising first and second substantially planar portions; the first portion comprising a first output display device of a first size; the second portion comprising a keyboard having a plurality of actuable keys and a touch sensitive display selectively operable as at least one of a further output display device and an input device.
Abstract:
A subscriber device capable of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communication via a wireless connection with an 802.11 access point to an Internet Protocol (IP) based network includes a codec for encoding a signal into a Real Time Protocol (RTP) packet and a controller for controlling a bit-rate at which the codec encodes the signal. The codec encodes the signal at a first bit-rate during normal transmissions and encodes the signal at a second bit-rate lower than the first bit-rate upon occurrence of a predetermined triggering event.
Abstract:
A method for transmitting voice data traffic over a wireless medium using a decision process for the admission of a voice call, such as a call voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) over a wireless local area network (WLAN). Admission of the call through the network is based upon the priority level of the call and a congestion level of the WLAN in order to increase the quality and the number of calls on a BSS. Paramters such as codec and packetization periods are selected for the call based upon the priority and congestion level. As the level of congestion in the network Increases, only calls above a certain Priority level are allowed into the network.
Abstract:
A method for reducing the number of channels that are scanned during a handoff situation for a wireless endpoint station in a wireless local area network (WLAN), such as an IEEE 802.11 network, by tracking past user movements within the WLAN. A suitable sequence of channels to be scanned is generated so that reduce the number of handoffs are reduced and the average time during a handoff is reduced. To reduce handoffs and handoff latencies, the principle of locality (user movement patterns tend to be repetitive) is used. By tracking the past handoffs, future handoffs are predicted.
Abstract:
An unconnected power save method reduces the battery consumption of a wireless station in a wireless local area network (WLAN). A wireless station enters a sleep mode between scans for a prospective access point. The sleep duration time is determined using the current position of the station relative to the WLAN network topology.
Abstract:
Presented is a method, system and computer readable product to search a task-based web interaction. A task-based web interaction search query is provided to a search engine. The search results are classified into a set of information parameters. The information parameters are compared against a repository containing multiple sets of information parameters. Upon identification of a corresponding set of information parameters, a task-based web interaction associated with the identified set of information parameters is presented.
Abstract:
Provided is a method of guiding an image-based task execution. The method allows a user of a computing device to record an association between an image and at least one task, wherein a task is an action related to content present in the image; and upon subsequent recognition of the image, guides a user to perform the at least one task associated with the image, based on previously recorded association.
Abstract:
Provided is a method of mapping web content to an unused broadcast channel. The method detects an unused broadcast channel, maps web content to the unused broadcast channel and displays web content through the unused broadcast channel.

Abstract:
Provided is a method of tagging media. The method identifies at least one region of interest in a media based on a user input and assigns a higher weighted tag to an object identified in at least one region of interest compared to an object present in another region of the media.
