A system (100) and method (800) for electronic graffiti includes a plurality of graffiti nodes serving as a plurality of wireless access points 102, a server 103 coupled to the plurality of wireless access points, a mobile wireless device (101 or 700) having at least a local area transceiver (706) and a processor (702) operatively coupled to the local area transceiver. The processor can be programmed to associate (804) a user friendly name with a media access control (MAC) address, associate (806) the user friendly name and media access control address with a group affiliation and a location, and transmit (808) the user friendly name, MAC address, the group affiliation and the location to the server. The server can be further coupled to a central server. Note, the server stores a record for each graffiti node containing the MAC address, the user friendly name, and the group affiliation.
摘要:
A method for dynamically selecting user presented services that are based upon a situation context. The method can include a mobile communication device that can identify situational data. Situational data can include items such as the device location, a user profile, and additional data elements. Next the situation context can be determined from the situational data. Based on the situation context, a set of services can be prioritized for the situation. A portion of the set of services can be dynamically presented on an interlace of the mobile device. A user selection of a presented service can be received via the interface. In response to the user selection, a programmatic action can be performed, such as contacting the service provider associated with the selected service.

An electronic device (160) and method (400) is provided for podcast searching and selecting. The electronic device can provide a display (210) for visualizing podcast attributes and presenting one or more visual icons (350) in a three-dimensional grid (320), wherein a visual icon identifies one or more attributes of a podcast. The electronic device can include a podcast browser (220) for searching and selecting one or more visual icons presented in the display, where the podcast browser provides multi-level viewing for the one or more visual icons.
摘要:
A system (100) and method (700) for capturing and cataloguing media filenames can include a media capturing device (101, 102 or 103), a context input device (106) for a providing a context value associated with at least one media file, and a processor (106) coupled to the context input device. The processor can be programmed to apply the context value to a media filename or a group of media filenames. The media capturing device can be a digital camera, a digital audio recording device, a digital video camera, a camera phone, or a portable computing device with any combination thereof. The context input device can include a voice capturing device and the system can further include a voice to text converter and tagging engine for tagging textual representations of captured voice associated with media captured by the media capturing device.
摘要:
A method (700) and system (100) for remotely controlling a remote controlled vehicle (150) can include a wireless transceiver (154), at least one impact sensor (158, 160, 162, 164, 166 or 168) on the remote-controlled vehicle, and a processor (156) or processor (106) in a remote controller (102) operatively coupled to at least one impact sensor and the wireless transceiver. The processor can be programmed to sense (702) impacts to at least a portion of the remote-controlled vehicle, modify (704) operation of the remote-controlled vehicle in response to the at least one impact sensed, and transmit (706) information to a remote controller with respect to the at least one impact sensed. The system can further include another wireless transceiver (104) in the remote controller for controlling the remote-controlled vehicle and receiving communication from or originating from the remote-controlled vehicle or another remote-controlled vehicle in competition with the remote-controlled vehicle.
摘要:
A method for push-to-talk (PPT) break-in in a push-over-cellular (PoC) system is provided. The method can include assessing (202) user context levels for users of mobile devices, prioritizing (204) a break-in precedence for the users based on the user context level, and granting (206) a break-in request (420) to users engaged in conversation in order of priority. The user context levels can identify a hierarchical relationship of the users to set a precedence for break-in. The user context levels can be based on a user role (371), a calendar (388), an organizational chart (307), a family relationship (379), or a social network (308).
摘要:
A system (100) and method (200) for providing location-specific image information is provided. The method can include capturing (202) an image of an object from a mobile device (110), determining (204) a location of the mobile device, recognizing (206) the object from a database of images from the location, and retrieving (208) location-specific information associated with the object. A camera zoom (402), camera focus (412), and compass heading (422) can also be included for reducing a search scope. The method can include recognizing (306) a building in the image, identifying (320) a business associated with the building, retrieving an advertisement associated with the business, and overlaying the advertisement at a location of the building in the image. A list of contacts can also be retrieved (326) from an address of the recognized building and displayed on the mobile device.
摘要:
A method (10) and system (50 or 200) of using a credit card media type (54) integrated with a wireless communication device (52) can include determining (12) that the wireless communication device is inoperable for use in a commercial transaction and enabling (14) the use and authorization of the credit card media type with a predetermined restriction profile that is more restrictive than when the credit card media type is used with the wireless communication device when operable. The method can lower (16) the payment authorization amount or limit a type of item that is purchased to a predefined type based on a remote network being unable to communicate with the wireless communication device. The method can also remove (18) the credit card media type from the communication device and enable the use and authorization of the credit card media type with the predetermined restriction profile.
摘要:
The present invention discloses a method for handling scheduling conflicts. The method can include a step of conveying scheduled events to a mobile communication device. Times associated with the events can be analyzed to determine potential conflicts. A set of previously established conflict resolution rules can be applied to the potential conflicts. Recommendations for resolving the potential conflicts can be generated based upon the applied rules. A notification of the potential conflicts and the generated recommendations can be presented to a user of the mobile device through an interface of the mobile communication device. The notifications and recommendations can occur a sufficient time before the potentially conflicting events occur to permit anticipatory actions to be taken to alleviate the conflicts before their occurrence.
