20140355487 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CALL HANDLING CONTROL - A method and apparatus for call handling control comprises receiving, from a first device, call handling information directed towards a second device, wherein a call is currently established between the first device and the second device and transmitting the call handling information to the second device, wherein the call handling information comprises feature activation instructions for the second device. | 12-04-2014 |
20140375758 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DYNAMICALLY ADJUSTING ASPECT RATIO OF IMAGES DURING A VIDEO CALL - A method and apparatus for dynamically adjusting an aspect ratio of an image during a video call is described herein. Specifically, a method for dynamically adjusting the aspect ratio of an image during a video call may include obtaining at least one display parameter of a display device, performing a comparison of the at least one display parameter to at least one image capture parameter of a capture device, capturing an original image, modifying the original image based on the comparison performed, wherein the modified image has an adjusted aspect ratio different from an aspect ratio of the original image, and sending the modified image to the display device. | 12-25-2014 |
20150024719 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CUSTOMIZED COMMUNICATIONS BASED UPON CONTACT RELATIONSHIPS - A method and system for customized communication routing based on contact relationships including attempting to reach a first contact of a plurality of contacts in a contact list and determining that the attempt to reach the first contact failed. The method and system then invokes an alternative action to reach the first contact by an agency of at least one of the plurality of contacts. The alternative action is based on a relationship between the first contact and the plurality of contacts and includes contacting one or more second contacts through a voice call and/or contacting the first contact concurrent with one or more second contacts through a text message. The relationship between the first contact and the plurality of contacts may be determined based on information provided from one or more communication devices and/or based on information obtained from a social network. | 01-22-2015 |
20150040065 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING CUSTOMIZED MENUS FOR ACCESSING APPLICATION FUNCTIONALITY - A method for generating customized menus for accessing application functionality of a mobile device comprising detecting a gesture performed on a display of the mobile device and displaying a quick menu on the display containing preview information pertaining to one or more applications based on the detected gesture. | 02-05-2015 |
20150050914 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR VERIFYING A DEVICE DURING PROVISIONING THROUGH CALLER ID - Methods and apparatus for verifying an end-user device during provisioning using caller ID (CID) are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method for verifying an end-user device during provisioning using CID may include receiving a first CID from the end-user device, associating a validation key with the first CID, sending a first signaling message to the end-user device including the validation key, receiving a second signaling message from the end-user device that includes a second CID, and performing a verification analysis of the end-user device using the second CID and the validation key. | 02-19-2015 |
20150062283 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR EXPANDING A FIELD OF VIEW IN A VIDEO COMMUNICATION SESSION - Methods and apparatus for expanding a field of view of an image during a video communication session. In some embodiments, a method includes transmitting a first video image having a first field of view during the video telecommunication session. The methods and apparatus further capturing a first set of background images, at least some of which are combined to form a first composite background image having a second field of view that is greater than the first field of view. Further, superimposing at least a portion of the first video image over the first composite background image to form a second video image having a same field of view as the first composite background image and transmitting the second video image during the video telecommunication session. | 03-05-2015 |

20090024335 | METHOD, SYSTEM, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR CALCULATING THE RESIDUAL STRESS EQUILIBRIUM OF TWO CONCENTRIC CYLINDERS COLDWORKED BY A LOADING-UNLOADING EXPANSION PROCESS - A method, system, and computer program product for calculating the residual stress equilibrium of two elastoplastic cylinders coldworked by expansion to obtain interference fit. The deformation state due to an internal expansion load applied to an inner cylinder that will result in interference of the inner cylinder with the outer cylinder can be calculated. The deformation state due to an unloading of the internal expansion load that will result in assembly of the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder can be calculated. The residual stresses, residual displacement and residual strains in the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder, whether they are eventually interference fitted or not, can all be calculated and recorded. | 01-22-2009 |
