Abstract:
In embodiments of the disclosed technology, a plurality of ratings of websites is received, wherein each rating is associated with a category and a rater and each rater is associated with at least one group. A selection of a category is received from the user, wherein the user is associated with at least one group. One website location (or a plurality of website locations) is provided in the category to the user based on at least one rating of the plurality of ratings provided by at least one of the raters, wherein at least one group associated with the rater and at least one the group associated with the user are the same group.
Abstract:
Provided herein are methods and systems for a sender-controlled contact media content type that can be sent among mobile devices, including addressing the contacts systems and methods of such devices to provide rich interactions among users upon the occurrence of contact events.
Abstract:
Enhanced telephony computer user interfaces seamlessly integrate and leverage the features of personal computers and telephones. The manner in which media is presented at a computing system can also be modified automatically in response to detected telephone operations. These modifications can include pausing media in response to a detected telephone call and/or adjusting a volume of the media presentation. The media presentation/volume can also be resumed/restored upon detecting that the telephone call has terminated.
Abstract:
A system and method for preventing or facilitating communications between individuals who reside in detention environments (such as e.g., prisons or correctional facilities) and individuals who are not in such detention environments using an automated authentication or verification.
Abstract:
A method of controlling answering a call in a system including a service server, a plurality of mobile terminals including a sender terminal and a receiver terminal, and a network configured to allow a communication between the service server and the mobile terminals includes displaying, when receiving a call, an incoming call icon and an incoming call screen, which are set in advance at the sender terminal, on the receiver terminal, receiving, upon the incoming call icon being displayed, an input of a predetermined operation on the incoming call screen at the receiver terminal, and permitting answering the call based on the predetermined operation at the receiver terminal.
Abstract:
An apparatus for providing sender identification information of the communication event on a display is described. In an embodiment the apparatus receives a communication event, for example, a call or a message. The mobile apparatus is caused to output a temporary indication of the communication event and the sender identification information relating to the communication event is not shown on the display. When a user of the mobile apparatus is detected with at least one sensor, the display is arranged to display the sender identification information on the display replacing the temporary indication in response to detecting the user with the at least one sensor.
Abstract:
A mobile terminal and controlling method thereof are disclosed, by which a holography user interface is provided. The present invention includes a controller, a holography storing medium configured to record an interference pattern generated by interference of light, and a holography output module, if at least one event among a plurality of trigger events occurs, outputting a holography image attributed to diffraction between the light applied to the holography storing medium and the interference pattern under the control of the controller, wherein the controller controls the holography image to be outputted in accordance with at least one holography pattern set previously.
Abstract:
A mobile communication device that includes: a storage unit configured to store therein image data; an address book storage unit configured to store therein communication party information associated with the image data; and an output control unit configured to display, when a sent mail that is transmitted by the mobile communication device is selected by selection of transmission destination information that corresponds to the sent mail, image data together with the transmission destination information, wherein the transmission destination information comprises communication party information pertaining to the sent mail, the image data being associated with the transmission destination information such that the image data is displayed together with the transmission destination information upon selection of the transmission destination information, and wherein the image data was previously stored in the storage unit and not attached to the sent mail when it was sent.
Abstract:
A network element of a communication provider comprises transceiver apparatus arranged to receive a request message from an originating endpoint via a packet-based communication network; and processing apparatus configured to generate, in response to the request message from the originating endpoint, a push notification relating to a communication from the originating endpoint intended for a destination endpoint, the communication to be conducted over the packet-based network. The transceiver apparatus is arranged to send the push notification to the destination endpoint over the packet-based network. The processing apparatus is further configured to generate the push notification with a payload comprising an indication of an image representing an originating user, to be output by the destination endpoint in a user notification notifying a destination user regarding the communication. At least the indication of the image is determined and inserted into the payload of the push notification at the network element.
