摘要:
A scheme is provided for distributing reference geographical locations on a network. Geolocation information is integrated or associated with one or more network infrastructure devices to permit them to serve as reference points for the rest of the network. A reference geographical location associated with a network infrastructure device may be broadcast by the network infrastructure device over a network. Alternatively, other network devices may request reference geographical location from a network infrastructure device or obtain it from a network-accessible database that stores such geolocation information. Other network devices can then use the one or more reference geographical locations to determine their own geographical location. By allowing existing network devices to take advantage of the geolocation capability of its “neighboring” network devices, this scheme provides a convenient way to deliver geolocation to many network devices.

A remote station apparatus comprises a transmit/receive circuit that is operable to transmit/receive signals to/from a communications network. A control processor receives signals from the transmit/receive circuit, the signals comprising an audio signal to be provided to a user through a user interface. The control processor is operable to modify the audio signal to shift, compress, and/or amplify one or more frequency bands based on predetermined audio signal modification parameters prior to providing the audio signal to the user interface. The audio signal modification parameters may be determined based on the user's hearing ability and/or preferences.

A cellular telephone including a medical device to monitor the medical or health condition of a user is provided. The cellular telephone is provided with a keypad that is movable from a first position, where a first display and keypad is exposed, to a second position where a second display and keypad is exposed. In the first position, the cellular telephone operates in a conventional cellular telephone manner. In the second position, the cellular telephone operates as the medical device. The second display and/or keypad is hidden from public view when the keypad is in the first position.

摘要:
A method, apparatus, and system for implementing a intelligent meeting scheduler that accounts for the travel time and distances of the meeting participants. Some features of the meeting scheduling system include (1) scheduling meetings, (2) calculating travel time to the meeting for each participant, (3) adjusting individual participants schedules to include travel time and travel conditions, (4) determining scheduling conflicts, (5) suggesting scheduling dates, times, and/or locations, and/or (6) providing each meeting participant with timely notifications with sufficient time to arrive at the scheduled meeting.
摘要:
Personal health records for a user of a wireless remote station are generated and stored electronically, and access may be provided to an authenticated and authorized individual. The health records may be stored at the remote station, or at a server. An individual requests access to the health records, the identity of the individual is authenticated, and authorization of the individual is verified before providing the health record. The authentication may comprise a biometric identification.
摘要:
A method, apparatus, and system are provided for implementing resource and/or location-based matching services between a wireless terminal (e.g., mobile phone) user and one or more resources. A novel infrastructure supports resource and/or location based matching services over a wireless network. A back-end system includes a database, server, and match engine that are configured match a user with one or more resources based on the user's characteristics, preferences, and/or location. Such resources include (1) other users, (2) targeted advertising, (3) businesses/networking opportunities, and/or (4) locate a nearby service or store. A flexible database architecture supports application-specific resources which facilitate the deployment of various matching services. Application developers are thus able to implement different resource-matching applications for wireless devices through a common back-end infrastructure. Additionally, the match engine may include a feedback mechanism that permits the match engine to learn a user's preferences.
