Abstract: A mobile client device, such as a wireless mobile or a palm sized personal digital assistant, is provided with a number of sensors and companion programming instructions/circuitry to generate a heart rate reading for a user holding the device. The sensors are used to sense blood flow rate of the user. The sensors are advantageously disposed in a distributed manner, in a number of locations of the mobile client device. The programming instructions/circuitry are used to infer a holding pattern of the device, and generate the heart rate reading, using a subset of the sensed data, based at least in part on the inferred holding pattern.

Abstract: An online purchaser subscribes for substitute delivery address service with a delivery address service. The online purchaser provides the delivery address service with his/her mailing address. As part of the subscription service, the delivery address service provides the online purchaser with one or more substitute delivery addresses for use to engage in online purchase transaction. As a result, online businesses from which the online purchaser purchases goods attempt to deliver the purchases goods to the purchaser at the substitute delivery address or addresses. The delivery address service facilitates redirection and delivery of the purchased goods to the purchaser, thereby protecting the privacy of the purchaser's mailing address. In an alternate embodiment, the beneficiary may be another subscriber designated as recipient by the purchaser.

Abstract: A wireless mobile phone is provided with the capability to visually convey various information to users, using a number of light emitting devcies (LEDs). The information may include notification of an incoming call, text messages of a call (in Morse code representations), complementary graphics for non-graphics contents, and visual representations of attributes of sound. In various embodiments, the implementations may include a visualization controller to selectively activate and deactivate the LEDs, and applicable ones of an event, text and sound visualization clients. In various embodiments, all or selected combinations of the elements may be part of the base unit of the wireless mobile phone, while the remaining elements, if any, may be part of an interchangeable face plate or a covering skin.

Abstract: An enhanced email program/service is provided to facilitate provisioning for a user an expanded addressee ordered listing of emails including expanded listing entries for emails addressed to one or more addressees of interest as secondary and/or member addressees, in addition to listing entries where the one or more addressees of interest are addressed as primary addressees. In various embodiments, the enhancements include facilities that enable the user to easily request for the expanded listing, from an addressee ordered or non-addressee ordered listing of emails, with or without explicitly specifying the addressee or addressees of interest. In response, the email program/service provisions the expanded listing, including the re-ordering if necessary, accordingly. As a result, the user may easily obtain a listing of all emails addressed to one or more addressees of interest, independent of the position and/or manner the addressees of interest are addressed.

Abstract: A memory monitor automatically restores the state of physical memory allocation of application programs when they lose and then regain the focus in a multitasking computing environment. The memory monitor monitors the focus of the operating system for changes, such as when the user switches from one application to another. When an application loses the focus, the memory monitor determines and stores the state of physical memory allocation. When the memory monitor detects that the application has re-gained the focus, it re-loads all of the code or data that was in physical memory when the application lost the focus, but had been swapped to secondary storage.

Abstract: A system that supports enhancement of device drivers written in distinct code sets, such as a 32-bit enhancement to a 16-bit existing driver is disclosed. The system defines a mechanism for the two device driver components to share information about their functioning, and for a device interface component to use that information so as to route calls to the device drivers based on their functional capabilities. The system can be implemented in a display device interface to support interaction between applications and video hardware components, which include enhanced device drivers.
