20100318494 | CONVERSION OF AN APPLICATION DATABASE TO MINIMIZE TIME IN SINGLE-USER ACCESS MODE - A method and system for converting source tables of a database of the application to target tables of a new version of the database while reducing the amount of time that the database needs to be open in single-user access mode is provided. A conversion system divides the conversion into a multi-user phase and a single-user phase. During the multi-user phase, the conversion system can perform most of the conversions while the database is opened in multi-user access mode. The conversion system stores the converted data in auxiliary tables, rather than updating the source tables. During the single-user phase, the conversion system performs the remaining conversions and copies data from the source tables and the converted data from the auxiliary tables to the target tables. | 12-16-2010 |

The card issuer determines if the purchase meets certain specified approval requirements, such as whether the card holder has sufficient funds, the card has been reported missing, or card holder's personal information is correct. Further, the card issuer compares the location data to a number of predetermined purchase locations specified by the customer. If the location data matches one of the predetermined locations and the specified approval requirements are met, then the purchase is approved. | 02-10-2011 |
20110124352 | Method and Apparatus for Prolonging Battery Charge Life in a Mobile Communication Device Using a Text Messaging Type Protocol for Calls - A wireless telecommunication device conducts base station pages at large intervals, such as 30 seconds, rather than the more conventional 0.5 to 4 seconds. The network processes calls placed to that telecommunication device in accordance with an SMS (Short Messaging Service) type protocol rather than a conventional voice call protocol. Particularly, the network sends an SMS to the telephone indicating that a third party is calling (hereinafter termed a “pre-call SMS”). The pre-call SMS indicates the telephone number of the third party. The user of the telephone may call the third party back. In accordance with this protocol, the need to page at very short intervals so as to permit a telephone call to be established in “real-time” is eliminated. Therefore, the paging interval can be increased substantially, thereby substantially prolonging battery charge lifetime of the telephone. In accordance with another aspect of the invention, when a cellular telephone sends a pre-call SMS, it temporarily decreases its paging interval to a more conventional interval such as 0.5 seconds for a predetermined period of time (e.g., 1-5 minutes) after placing a call so that, if the called party returns the call, the calling party will receive the return call in real-time and be able to answer the incoming call and establish a voice call. | 05-26-2011 |
