    摘要: The invention concerns a method (300, 500) and system (100) for managing an event. The method can include the steps of assigning (312) a number of participants (410) to participate in an event, selectively monitoring (314) the participants beginning at a predetermined time and based on the monitoring step, selectively assigning (318) an intent indicator (414) to the participants. The intent indicator can provide an indication as to whether a participant intends to attend the event. The monitoring step can include monitoring (316) target units (112) of the participants. The method can also include the step of creating (512) an attendance profile (610) for the participants based on a history of a participant's participation in previous events. The attendance profile can provide an indication as to the likelihood that a participant will attend the event and will attend the event on time.

    摘要: The invention concerns a method (300) and system (100) for affecting gaming conditions based on operating conditions of a power source (126). The method includes the steps of—in a first gaming unit (110) that receives power from the power source—providing (312) a gaming environment and monitoring (314) at least one operating condition of the power source. When at least one of the operating conditions reaches a predetermined threshold, the method further includes the step of altering (320) at least one gaming condition in the gaming environment to indicate to a user that the operating condition has reached the predetermined threshold.

    摘要: A method (100) of providing limited access to a computing device (26) can include limiting (102) access to the computing device by requiring a predetermined user input (e.g., password) during active operation of a screen saver application, presenting (104) a first screen layout having at least one web site link (14) during operation of the screen saver application, granting (106) access to the web site link without requiring the predetermined user input during operation of the screen saver application, and presenting (108) a predetermined website upon activation of the web site link. Access is otherwise denied (110) to the computing device until the predetermined user input is provided. Note, the method can enable (112) a transaction with the predetermined website. The method can further present (114) a targeted screen layout or advertisement in response to receiving information from a user using a short range communication interface.

    摘要: A wireless communications device (200) that has a battery power source (330) and that has a power source monitor (332) that produces a low energy notification upon determination of a low energy condition within the battery. The wireless communications device further has a notification list specifying at least one other communications device to receive the low energy notification message. The wireless communications device (200) also has a notification transmitter (316, 314, 304) for transmitting the low energy notification message to communications devices held by other users (504, 506, 508, 512) that are in the list. The low energy notification message has at least one destination address to which the low energy notification message is to be sent. The wireless communications device (200) further serves as a proxy or surrogate relay for other wireless communications devices (200) to provide a robust communications system.

    摘要: A method (10) of payment of communication services includes determining (14) if a request (12) for services is an essential service or non-essential service, determining (19) if a device and/or user is authorized for non-essential service, and determining (20) if there are sufficient pre-pay funds for the non-essential service. The method can further include rejecting (26) the request for non-essential service if the device and/or user is unauthorized or if insufficient pre-pay funds exist. The method grants (16) the request if the request is for essential service (such as voice services). The essential service or subscription or post-pay service can be added (18) to a recurring bill. If the device and/or user is authorized and sufficient prepay funds exist, then the method grants (22) the request for the non-essential service. In response or in conjunction with granting, the method can deduct (24) funds from prepay funds upon granting the request.

    摘要: The invention concerns a method (200) and system (100) for managing meetings using group calling. The method can include the steps of detecting (212) one or more meeting participants for a meeting, comparing (214) the detected meeting participants with a listing of scheduled meeting participants and generating (216) a dynamic group calling list that at least includes those scheduled meeting participants who have not been detected. As an example, the dynamic group calling list can be generated on a mobile communications device (122) of one of the detected meeting participants. The method can also include the step of simultaneously contacting (218) from the mobile communications device the scheduled meeting participants on the dynamic group calling list who have not been detected.
