20080247359 | MOBILE DEVICE HANDOFF CONTROLLER AND METHOD AND SYSTEM INCLUDING THE SAME - A hand-off controller for use in a system including an application server, the application server being connected to a mobile device via a first network connection to conduct an application session involving data communications between the application server and the mobile device. The hand-off controller is operatively coupled to the application server and configured to recognize that a surrogate device has connected to the application server via a second network connection; recognize that the surrogate device is intended to participate in the application session in the place of the mobile device; enable data communications directed to the mobile device from the application server, in relation to the application session, to be sent to the surrogate device; and enable data communications directed to the application server from the surrogate device, in relation to the application session, to be sent to the application server, whereby the surrogate device is able to continue the application session with the application server in place of the mobile device. | 10-09-2008 |
20090010406 | Methods of Determining Information Regarding Remote User Terminals and Related Systems and Computer Program Products - A method of determining user terminal information may include initiating a communication at a first user terminal between the first user terminal and a second user terminal using a telephone number of the second user terminal. Information regarding the second user terminal may then be received at the first user terminal from the second user terminal during the communication over a non-voice channel without opening a voice channel between the first and second user terminals. Related systems and computer program products are also discussed. | 01-08-2009 |
20090168758 | METHODS FOR FACILITATING COMMUNICATION BETWEEN INTERNET PROTOCOL MULTIMEDIA SUBSYSTEM (IMS) DEVICES AND NON-IMS DEVICES AND BETWEEN IMS DEVICES ON DIFFERENT IMS NETWORKS AND RELATED ELECTRONIC DEVICES AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS - A bridge device is used to setup communication sessions between Internet Protocol (IP) Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) devices and non-IMS devices or between non-IMS devices over an IMS network. Once a communication session is established, the IMS Bridge device may translate messages received from the respective endpoint devices between IMS and non-IMS formats. | 07-02-2009 |
20090174763 | VIDEO CONFERENCE USING AN EXTERNAL VIDEO STREAM - A portable communication device may determine whether a video camera is in a vicinity of the portable communication device. If so, video taken by the video camera may be used in a video conference conducted from the portable communication device. | 07-09-2009 |
20090265165 | AUTOMATIC META-DATA TAGGING PICTURES AND VIDEO RECORDS - A method and apparatus for labeling an image recorded by a portable electronic device with descriptive tags is disclosed. Sounds in the vicinity of the portable electronic device are recorded. When the image is captured, the audio record of recorded sounds from a first predetermined period of time prior to the capture of the image until a second predetermined period of time after the capture of the image is retrieved. The retrieved audio record is processed to create a list of recognizable words in the retrieved audio record. The list of recognizable words is then stored in a metatag field associated with the captured image. | 10-22-2009 |
20100073399 | Methods and devices for controlling a presentation of an object - A first communication device may include a control unit to determine a first image of an object to be used in generating a multi-dimensional representation. The multi-dimensional representation may be set in at least two states, each representing an expression and to be controlled by commands. Furthermore, the control unit may determine a second image to be used in the process and determine whether the second image is associated with the first image; analyze the second image to determine a first expression of the second image; and create an expression command based on the first expression. The expression command may be used to control the multi-dimensional representation to be set in a first state presenting the determined first expression. | 03-25-2010 |
20100210244 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR HANDLING MESSAGES - A device, method and system for handling received messages on a portable electronic device. The device includes a message handling section | 08-19-2010 |
20140036025 | VIDEO CONFERENCE USING AN EXTERNAL VIDEO STREAM - A portable communication device may determine whether a video camera is in a vicinity of the portable communication device. If so, video taken by the video camera may be used in a video conference conducted from the portable communication device. | 02-06-2014 |
