摘要： A wireless client (100) maintains (302) a shopping list of items desired by a shopper, and then transmits (304) the shopping list to an in-store shopping system (200). The in-store shopping system receives (306) the shopping list and then generates information identifying where to find the items and further identifying where the wireless client is positioned in the store. The in-store shopping system communicates (308) the information to the wireless client, which then displays (310) the information to the shopper.

摘要： A wireless local area network (WLAN) provides wireless service to a collective comprising multiple remote units (RUs) by use of a collective association identifier (AID) assigned to, and shared by, the multiple RUs. The WLAN then uses the collective association identifier AID to identify transmissions of common data to the multiple remote units. Furthermore, the WLAN provides for a serving AP to store, for the collective as a whole, shared data rather than individually storing such data in association with each remote unit (RU) in the collective. The WLAN further provides for RUs to establish a link with their serving AP in order to exchange data sourced by, or intended for, their associated non-RF service provider, and for the AP then to establish a separate AP-to-service provider link to exchange the data, rather than the RU being required to establish an end-to-end link with the service provider.

摘要： A notification server (100) is coupled to a database (102). The database (102) includes information relating to a user service and a threshold for notifying the user of the availability of the service. The threshold is based upon a then current location of the user and an availability of the service relative to the then current location of the user. The notification server (100) is operable to generate an alert based upon the user service, the then current location of the user and the threshold and to communicate the alert to the user via a communication interface (104).

摘要： A communication system provides for an informing of participants in a Push-to-Talk over Cellular (PoC) communication session that the session is being recorded by a recording device, for a storage, by the recording device, of media that conveyed during the session, and for a subsequent retrieval of the stored media from the recording device. In various embodiments of the invention, a host of the communication session is permitted to determine whether or not the recording device is permitted access to the communication session, and the other participants in the session are able to determine whether to remain in the session when the recording device is permitted access. A user of an MS on behalf of whom the recording device is participating is then able to retrieve the stored media along with information identifying a source of the media and a time associated with the storage of the media.

摘要： The present invention is a data network system (110) and method for responding to a communication message with a canned reply by a target user of a target client device (one of 102-108). The data network system comprises a messaging server (112) and a messaging proxy (120) coupled to the messaging server. Initially, the target client device or, more particularly, the target user, configures one or more canned replies for the system. The messaging proxy then receives (204, 304, 404) a communication message from an originating client device (another one of 102-108) and retrieves (206, 306, 406) configuration data of the target client device. Next, the messaging proxy determines (208, 308, 408) whether the target client device is available for interactive communication with the originating client device based on the configuration data. If the target client device is available for interactive communication with the originating client device, then the messaging proxy routes (210, 310, 410) the communication message to the target client device. Otherwise, if the target client device is not available for interactive communication with the originating client device, then the system withholds (230, 330, 430) the communication message from the target client device and sends (230, 330, 430) the canned reply to the originating client device.

摘要翻译： 本发明是一种数据网络系统（110）和方法，用于响应目标客户端设备的目标用户（102-108之一）的具有固定应答的通信消息。 数据网络系统包括消息服务器（112）和耦合到消息收发服务器的消息传送代理（120）。 最初，目标客户端设备，更具体地，目标用户，配置系统的一个或多个罐头答复。 然后，消息传送代理接收（204,304,404）来自始发客户端设备（102-108中的另一个）的通信消息，并检索目标客户端设备的（206,306,406）配置数据。 接下来，消息传递代理基于配置数据来确定（208,308,408）目标客户端设备是否可用于与始发客户端设备的交互式通信。 如果目标客户端设备可用于与始发客户端设备的交互式通信，则消息传送代理路由（210,310,410）将通信消息发送到目标客户端设备。 否则，如果目标客户端设备不可用于与始发客户端设备的交互式通信，则系统从目标客户端设备保留（230,330,430）该通信消息，并发送（230,330,430）该固定应答 到始发客户端设备。
