摘要:
A mobile device provides its location information to contacts of a user of the mobile device. A contact has a particular precision level assigned thereto from a set of two or more precision levels. The assignment of precision levels to contacts is according to one or more criteria. The mobile device ensures that any location information of the mobile device provided to the contact is not more precise than the precision level currently assigned to the contact.

A calendaring method involves receiving a command to enter calendar event data, in a calendar program that stores calendar data running on a processor of a wireless mobile device; determining, from the calendar event data, a location and a date associated with the calendar event; searching a database for impact event data associated with an impact event occurring at or about the location and on or about the date; after indentifying the impact event data, storing linking data, linking the calendar event and the impact event in the calendar program's calendar data.
摘要:
A method for synchronizing a database at a portable electronic device with a backup database including backup data records includes receiving information representative of data records of the database at the portable electronic device, determining if the database at the portable electronic device is to be updated with the backup data records, and if the database at the portable electronic device is to be updated, transmitting representative viewable or audible samples of ones of the backup data records.

To facilitate text-to-speech conversion of a username, a first or last name of a user associated with the username may be retrieved, and a pronunciation of the username may be determined based at least in part on whether the name forms at least part of the username. To facilitate text-to-speech conversion of a domain name having a top level domain and at least one other level domain, a pronunciation for the top level domain may be determined based at least in part upon whether the top level domain is one of a predetermined set of top level domains. Each other level domain may be searched for one or more recognized words therewithin, and a pronunciation of the other level domain may be determined based at least in part on an outcome of the search. The username and domain name may form part of a network address such as an email address, URL or URI.

Method and arrangement for adjusting sensitivity in the horizontal and/or vertical directions for the motion of a cursor on the display of a handheld electronic device incorporates a navigation tool as a user input device. The sensitivity can be user-defined, program-defined or a combination of the two. The sensitivity adjustment allows for special properties associated with dimensions of the display and/or with the navigation tool.
摘要:
A system and a method (100, 500) for integrating an uncertified client (104) with a certified host device (102) are provided. The integration system (100) is configured to integrate the uncertified client (104), which has a plurality of client applications (106), with the certified host device (102), and has a client virtual machine (108), host applications (142), and an abstraction layer (138, 156). The client virtual machine (108) is coupled to the uncertified client (104) and is configured to execute the plurality of client applications (106). The host applications (142) are coupled to the certified host device (102) and are configured to control host dependent features on the certified host device (102). The abstraction layer (138, 156) are coupled to the host applications (142) and to the client virtual machine (108), and are configured to translate feature calls from the plurality of client applications (106) to function calls for the host applications (142).
