Abstract:
Various embodiments include a three-dimensional (3D) translator device for translating two-dimensional (2D) visual imagery into 3D physical representations that users can feel with their fingers and thus interact with and experience physically. The 3D translator device may enable users to feel/interact with 2D images displayed on devices such as 2D touchscreen devices by translating the 2D images into a 3D touch surface coordinate data set. The 3D translator device may actuate based on the 3D touch surface coordinate data set so that the users can feel the 3D representation of the 2D images, and translating the users' touches on the 3D translator device's 3D touchpanel into touch inputs that can be processed by a 2D touchscreen device (i.e., “2D touch inputs).
Abstract:
A wireless communication device that has one or more applications resident on a computer platform, a wireless communication interface, a display, and a user interface that, at least, appears on the display. The one or more applications and/or an arbiter that is resident on the computer platform may determine which user interface of the one or more applications resident on the computer platform controls the display based upon a predetermined criteria when the user interfaces compete for control of the display. In another embodiment, an application that does not comply with the determination of which application controls the display may be terminated. A method may be performed to determine which application may control a display of a plurality of displays of the wireless communication device. A method may be performed to associate user input data with applications when there is a change of control of a display.
Abstract:
Methods and systems of communication using a mobile device include communicating with other mobile devices over an initial communication channel, detecting a first motion of the mobile device moving from a first position to a second position, establishing a second communication channel with the other mobile devices in response to the detected first motion, and communicating with the other mobile devices over the second communication channel. In an example, the initial communication may be a half-duplex communication channel, and the second communication channel may be a full-duplex communication channel. In another example, the initial communication may be a full-duplex communication channel, and the second communication channel may be a half-duplex communication channel.
Abstract:
Methods and servers are disclosed for dynamically adjusting mobile communication device resources for maintaining call on the mobile communication device subject to a lawful intercept. Methods may include a server transmitting to the mobile communication device an activation input for activating a call extender daemon that cannot be deactivated. A resource status indication message may be received from the mobile communication device. The resource status indication message may include a state of an onboard resource of the mobile communication device. A resource adjustment input may be transmitted from the server to the mobile communication device. The resource adjustment input may cause the call extender daemon to adjust an operating state of the onboard resource of the mobile communication device based on the activation input to increase a likelihood of maintaining an active call on the mobile communication device and without alerting a user of the mobile communication device.
Abstract:
Methods, systems and devices are provided for managing electronic communications on a communication device including receiving an incoming call indication from an originating device. The methods, system and devices may include transmitting a delay indication in response to determining the delayed call acceptance is warranted and receiving a first message segment and subsequently a second message segment from the originating device. Additionally, they may include outputting at least one of the first message segment and the second message segment in response to determining whether to output at least one of the first message segment and the second message segment. Further, they may include transmitting a playback status including a series of status indications reflecting an updated output progress of the first message segment at a recipient device in response to determining the first message segment should be output.

Methods, systems and devices are provided for dynamically adjusting mobile communication device resources for maintaining calls on a mobile communication device subject to a lawful intercept. Embodiment methods may include receiving at the mobile communication device an activation input from a remote server for activating a call extender daemon on the mobile communication device. An operating state of an onboard resource of the mobile communication device may be adjusted in response to receiving the activation input. The adjustment of the operating state of the onboard resource increases the likelihood of maintaining an active call on the mobile communication device.

Abstract:
A system, method, and wireless communication device for sharing media in a group communication among a plurality of wireless communications devices, such as among a Push-to-Talk (PTT) group. A wireless communication device that is a member of the communication group can send group-directed media, such as graphics, multimedia and applications, to other members of the communication group, either during a ongoing PTT communication, or independently there from. In one embodiment, a communication computer device stores information on communication groups on the wireless communication network that includes the member wireless communication devices of one or more communication groups, and receives group-directed media from a sending wireless communication device sends the group-directed media either directly to the other member wireless communication devices of the communication group or stores the group-directed media such that the other member devices can access and download the group-directed media.
