20100014497 | SELECTIVELY RESTRICING PARTICIPATION IN COMMUNICATION SESSIONS AT A COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE WITHIN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM - Embodiments are directed to determining whether to permit a server-arbitrated communication session at a wireless communications device within a wireless communications system. The wireless communications device receives a request to participate in the server-arbitrated communication session. The wireless communications device obtains information related to a current location of the wireless communications device. The wireless communications device determines whether the obtained information satisfies one or more conditions of restriction and/or permission for participation of the wireless communication device in server-arbitrated communication session. The wireless communications device selectively restricts itself from participating in the server-arbitrated communication session based on this determination. | 01-21-2010 |
20100015945 | REDUCING LATENCY IN A PREPAID GROUP COMMUNICATION SESSION WITHIN A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM - Embodiments are directed to managing a prepaid server-arbitrated group communication session within a wireless communications system. A server receives, from a session originator, a request to setup a prepaid group communication session with at least one session target, the prepaid group communication session requiring each session participant to have an available prepaid account balance above a threshold level. The server sends a query to an online charging system to determine whether at least the session originator has a prepaid account with an available balance at least equal to the threshold level. The server initiates setup of the requested prepaid group communication session without waiting to receive a response to the query, thereby reducing latency associated with set-up of the prepaid group communication session. | 01-21-2010 |
20100058196 | INTEGRATED DISPLAY AND MANAGEMENT OF DATA OBJECTS BASED ON SOCIAL, TEMPORAL AND SPATIAL PARAMETERS - An embodiment is directed to displaying information to a user of a communications device. The communications device receives a query including a social parameter, a temporal parameter and a spatial parameter relative to the user that are indicative of a desired visual representation of a set of data objects. The communications device determines degrees to which the social, temporal and spatial parameters of the query are related to each of the set of data objects in social, temporal and spatial dimensions, respectively. The communications device displaying a first visual representation of at least a portion of the set of data objects to the user based on whether the determined degrees of relation in the social dimension, temporal dimension and spatial dimension satisfy the respective parameters of the query. | 03-04-2010 |
20100169910 | APPARATUS AND METHODS OF SELECTIVE COLLECTION AND SELECTIVE PRESENTATION OF CONTENT - Disclosed are apparatus and methods operable to distribute targeted content. Additionally, disclosed are corresponding apparatus and methods operable to selectively choose and cache selected ones from among the distributed targeted content, and to further choose ones from among the cached content to present on a device. In some aspects, selective caching of content may be based upon a match between predetermined content attribute information and predetermined profile information. Further, in some aspects, an indicator is operable to trigger the selective inclusion of one or more of the cached content in a presentation of other content, which may be based on a match between a desired content attribute associated with the indicator and the respective predetermined content attribute information of the cached content. | 07-01-2010 |
20100323669 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PERMITTING RECORDATION OF VOICE TRANSMISSIONS AMONG GROUP MEMBERS OF A COMMUNICATION GROUP OF WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICES - A system, method, and computer readable product for allowing a member of a mobile communications group, such as a push-to-talk (PTT) group, to receive indications from at least one other mobile communication device that a current conversation or talk spurt may be recorded. The member may further record or receive the recorded conversation or talk spurt, and store the recorded conversation or spurt in a local memory for later retrieval or automatic playback. | 12-23-2010 |
20120322421 | System and Method for Permitting Recordation of Voice Transmissions Among Group Members of a Communication Group of Wireless Communication Devices - The disclosure is directed to recording voice data transmissions between mobile communication devices. An embodiment of the disclosure receives, at a first mobile communication device, an indication that a subsequent voice transmission segment may or may not be recorded by at least one other mobile communication device, and transmits, from the first mobile communication device, an indication to said at least one other mobile communication device that the subsequent voice transmission segment may or may not be recorded. Another embodiment receives an indication from at least one other mobile communication device that a subsequent voice transmission segment may or may not be recorded by said mobile communication device, and if the received indication indicates that the subsequent voice transmission segment may be recorded, records at least a portion of the subsequent voice transmission segment, and stores the recorded portion in a memory associated with said mobile communication device. | 12-20-2012 |
20140068098 | REDUCING NETWORK LATENCY RESULTING FROM NON-ACCESS STRATUM (NAS) AUTHENTICATION FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE CONTENT APPLICATIONS - Aspects relating to reducing network latency in systems that use NAS Authentication/Security procedures are disclosed. For example, a method for reducing latency due to NAS authentication can include determining a number (n) or time (t) of service requests from an idle state that trigger a NAS authentication. A penultimate service request is detected before the nth service request or after time (t). A gratuitous service request is sent after the penultimate service request. | 03-06-2014 |
20140113646 | OPTIMIZATION OF THE PRESENCE INFORMATION REFRESH FOR A WIRELESS DEVICE - In various embodiments, a mobile device and/or the presence-aware applications running on the device may be configured to support multiple user profiles. For instance, multiple users with access to the same mobile device may each create a user profile and login credentials on that device, and each user may take turns using the mobile device. The mobile device may also allow multiple users to access the mobile device simultaneously. In such embodiments, the mobile device processor executing the presence module and/or presence engine may be configured to associate a particular user profile with a request for updated presence information and determine whether to update the presence information based at least in part on the that user profile. | 04-24-2014 |
20140219083 | DYNAMIC QUALITY OF SERVICE (QOS) FOR SERVICES OVER CELLULAR - The disclosure is related to dynamically applying quality of service (QoS) to a call. An aspect determines a packet transmission state of a subscriber on the call, determines whether or not the QoS is allocated to the subscriber, and allocates the QoS to the subscriber based on the QoS not being allocated to the subscriber and the packet transmission state indicating that the subscriber is sending packets. | 08-07-2014 |
20140221023 | SERVER-INITIATED PAGING CYCLES - In an embodiment, a server registers a client application installed on a user equipment (UE), and evaluates one or more paging cycle criteria for the registered client application. The server determines to establish a target paging cycle used for downlink paging of the UE by a network component (e.g., an access network component or a core network component) of a serving network based on the evaluation, and the server transmits, to the network component, a request for the network component to transition the given UE to the target paging cycle based on the determination. The network component receives the request and assigns the target paging cycle to the UE as requested. | 08-07-2014 |
