A hand-held electronic device with a keyboard optimized for use with the thumbs is disclosed. In order to operate within the limited space available on a hand-held electronic device, the present invention optimizes the placement and shape of the keys, preferably using keys that are oval or oblong in shape, and that are placed at angles designed to facilitate thumb-typing. The angles at which keys on either side of the keyboard are placed is complimentary.

A system and method for pushing information from a host system to a mobile data communication device upon sensing a triggering event is disclosed. A redirector program operating at the host system enables a user to continuously redirect certain user-selected data items from the host system to the user's mobile data communication device upon detecting that one or more user-defined triggering events has occurred. The redirector program operates in connection with event generating applications and repackaging systems at the host system to configure and detect a particular user-defined event, and then to repackage the user-selected data items in an electronic wrapper prior to pushing the data items to the mobile device. The host system can be a desktop computer that stores and redirects messages received from a network to the mobile device and also stores and redirects messages received from the mobile device to the network.

A device is provided that interfaces with existing point of sale credit card reading devices, and furnishes the option of transmitting data over either the existing modem installation or a radio frequency data communication network. The device scans the information encoded on the credit card to determine which data transmission path is appropriate for a particular transaction. The device software generates the necessary signals to simulate the normal interaction between the POS cardreader device and a modem. The software also converts between serial and packetized data in order to request and receive credit card purchase authorizations over the radio frequency data communication network.

The present invention provides a method for enhancing service signals transmitted by a DCE, such as a Modem, to a DTE user. Since any transmission from a remote computer to a DTE user through a wireless communication network can be encoded with additional information, use of an AT compatible modem in conjunction with a wireless communication network adds a new dimension of information that can be displayed to the DTE user. The present invention also includes a method for ensuring effective data transfer from a DCE to a DTE user. When a DTE receives a connection service signal it will often require several internal adjustments before it can accept data. Because data received by a radio-based modem is received in packets, under certain conditions data will be waiting to be transmitted to the user immediately after the modem enters a data transfer state. The method of this invention includes the steps of transmitting a service signal to the DTE indicating that the modem has entered a data transfer state and delaying for a predetermined time after transmitting the data-transfer-state signal before transmitting data from the modem to the DTE.

The present invention provides a method for user control of a gateway in a wireless data communicator network. The present invention includes transmitting a data packet to the gateway, including control data continuing a plurality of commands to be executed by the gateway. The gateway then parses the plurality of commands and executes the commands.

The present invention is directed to a system for optically scanning a bar code particularly a bar code provided on a generally transparent or translucent media through which light can be projected. In particular, the invention is directed to a system for optically scanning a bar code provided on the edge of picture film, preferably motion picture film. The system includes a light source on one side of the generally transparent media and an arrangement for moving the media past the light source such that the bar code interrupts the light and produces a modulated light signal according to the characteristics of the bar code on the opposite side of the media. An optically sensing arrangement is provided on the opposite side of the media for sensing the modulated light signal and includes at least two sensors spaced in the direction of movement of the generally transparent media. With this arrangement, the signal output of the sensors are shifted in time according to the spacing between the sensors. The system includes a processing arrangement for processing the signal output of the sensors to extract the bar code used to modulate the light passing through the generally transparent media by the signal output of the sensors. With this arrangement, accurate reading of the bar code is possible with the media moving at substantial speeds past the scanning system. This system has particular application for film, but could be used in other bar code reading applications using reflected light.

A method includes displaying information associated with a first application on a touch-sensitive display of an electronic device. A gesture is detected on the touch-sensitive display, which gesture indicates a request to display information associated with a second application. At least part of the information associated with the second application is displayed without opening the second application.
摘要:
Methods, systems, and computer programs for trusted communication among mobile devices are described. In some aspects, information is wirelessly transmitted from a first mobile device to a second mobile device. The information permits the second mobile device to detect proximity of the first mobile device. In some implementations, the information can be wirelessly transmitted by a proximity-activated wireless interface, such as, for example, a Near Field Communication (NFC) interface. In response to the information, the first mobile device receives a message and a first authentication value wirelessly transmitted from the second mobile device to the first mobile device. A second authentication value is generated at the first mobile device based on the message and the shared secret value. Integrity of the message is verified based on comparing the first authentication value and the second authentication value.
