摘要： A method of operating a communication device to facilitate a user to control multiple concurrent communication sessions. In operation, the communication device receives a plurality of incoming communications from a plurality of recipients, in which each recipient corresponds to at least one of the multiple concurrent communication sessions. The communication device further detects a user response from a user interface of the communication device in response to receiving the incoming communications. Next, the communication device correlates the user response with at least one of the received incoming communications or previously received communications corresponding to the recipients. Further, the communication device selects at least one of the plurality of recipients based on the correlation and sends the user response to the selected at least one of the plurality of recipients.

摘要： Each user can contribute to an original search and to refining the results of the search. Preferences of all of the users are considered in the search even while those preferences can be kept private. In some embodiments of the present invention, at least two users each submit a search query. The multiple search queries are logically combined to produce one set of search results. The results can be reviewed by the users and refined if necessary. In some embodiments, a search query can be specified by a single user, but the search engine takes into consideration the stored preferences of multiple users (in addition to the search query itself, of course).

摘要： A visual display interface (910), suitable for use in an electronic device (900), includes an elastic substrate having a plurality of addressable picture elements disposed on a side thereof forming a viewable display area. The size and/or shape of the viewable display area are configurable by expanding or contracting the substrate predominately parallel to a surface dimension of viewable display area.

摘要： A wireless communication network infrastructure entity (110) transmits a message, for example, a system parameters message, on a common signaling channel for reception by wireless terminals (102) in the network. The network entity also transmits an emergency broadcast message, for example, an SMS data burst overhead message transmitted on a paging channel. An emergency broadcast message information field of the message transmitted on the common signaling channel indicates the availability of the emergency broadcast message.

摘要： Disclosed are methods and devices for remote determination, control and/or inhibiting the use of a speakerphone of a far end communication device. The methods and devices provide the ability to determine speakerphone use and provide remote control of a far end device's speakerphone, including prompting whether to disable the speakerphone of the far end device if determined to be active. Additionally disclosed are methods and devices of a first communication device having a speakerphone including engaging in a communication with a second communication device, determining if the speakerphone of the first communication device is active, and broadcasting that the speakerphone of the first communication device is active. Also disclosed are methods and devices a first communication device including determining an identity of an auditor at a second communication device and indicating at the first communication device the identity of an auditor at the second communication device.
