摘要:
A device (300) having a user interface (303) is provided with an automatic discretionary capability of determining use of a wireless message. The wireless message may contain user interface preference information that is initially sourced by an end user platform. The device uses the automatic discretionary capability to determine whether and to what extent to use the user interface preference information to influence control of the user interface (303). The device (300) may contain a wireless receiver (302) for receiving the wireless messages with a memory (304) for storing the user interface preference information therein. Also provided in the device (300) is a processor (301) which provides and uses the automatic discretionary capability to determine to what extent to use the user interface preference information to influence control of the user interface (303). The automatic discretionary capability of the device (300) may override, accept, or weight the user interface preference information.
摘要:
A first user interface is presented (101) within a portable electronic device. The selection of a first function by the user via the first user interface is then detected (102). In response to detecting (102) the user's selection of the first function, the first user interface is then replaced (103) with at least a partially disabled second user interface that is different from the first user interface. A user selection of at least one user-selectable function in the second user interface is then detected (104). After the function is detected, the first user interface provides (105) the user with information regarding at least one corresponding user-selectable function that comprises a substantially similar function as the selected user-selectable function from the second user interface.

摘要:
A device (200) that is presently rendering human communications content (202) via a corresponding human communication interface (203) will also passively wirelessly transmit information (103) regarding an existing native capability regarding also wirelessly transmitting the human communication content. Upon receiving (in response to that passive transmission) information (105) regarding an existing other device's (205) capability of also rendering that human communication content, this device can then switch (106) present rendering of the human communication content from the first device to the second device.
摘要:
A method and apparatus are for finding a rendering of a work that a user desires to have presented. The method includes performing an internal search within a preferred storage device for one or more acceptable digital renderings of the work, performing a user network search for one or more acceptable digital renderings in one or more devices of a user wireless network (125) that includes the preferred presentation device and the preferred storage device, when the internal search is continued to a next search level, and performing a remote search for one or more acceptable digital renderings in one or more devices of a remote network (150), when the user network search is continued to a next search level. A user wireless device (115) may perform the method.

摘要:
A configuration of an electronic device (400) is managed by obtaining (1005) stakeholder attributes of a component resident in the electronic device from stakeholder requirements (FIGS. 7, 8) of one or more stakeholders and correlating (1020) the respective stakeholder attributes as well as available sets of values of attributes of the component to determine (1025) a set of selected values of the attributes, and establishing (1030) at least a portion of a new configuration of the electronic device using the set of selected values of the attributes of the component. When the stakeholder requirements cannot be met with an existing application in the electronic device, the application may be formed (1200) from components of existing applications.

摘要:
An electronic device (130) uses a record (122) which defines capabilities desired for the electronic device. The requirements of one or more stakeholders are entrusted using stakeholder priority certificates (136). Signatures in the stakeholder priority certificates are authenticated by a device (130). A processor compares components (140) of the electronic device against the received record (122) and the trusted stakeholder requirements to determine operation characteristics of the electronic device (130). The processor can execute a conflict resolution process (133) to resolve conflicts among stakeholder requirements such as arbitrating among at least two of the stakeholders. The processor can resolve conflicts among the stakeholder requirements using a predetermined priority sequence (135).
