Apr 27, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/412445

Inventors:

Anthony J. Sammarco - Garner NC, US

Assignee:

Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB - Lund

International Classification:

H04M 11/10
H04Q 11/00

US Classification:

4554141, 370261

Abstract:

A wireless communications device is a hub for a conference call between a user of the device, a first remote party, and a second remote party. The wireless communications device communicates with the first remote party over a first connection and with the second remote party over a second concurrently active connection. A circuit in the wireless communications device transcodes voice data received over the first and second connections so that the voice data may be shared between the parties.

International Classification:

H04N 7/173

US Classification:

725 93, 725 86, 725 88, 725105, 725 62, 725 91, 725 94

Abstract:

Described is a system and method of receiving content on a portable mobile communications device from a mobile TV service provider. A mobile pointer record is created and stored within the portable mobile communications device that contains data that identifies content to be delivered from the mobile TV service provider. The mobile pointer record data is sent to a content server maintained by the mobile TV service provider where a corresponding content server pointer record is created and stored such that the mobile TV service provider associates the content server pointer record with stored content. When desired, a request is sent to the mobile TV service provider from the portable mobile communications device by selecting the desired mobile pointer record for the content. The mobile TV service provider identifies the content via the corresponding content server pointer record and delivers the requested stored content to the portable mobile communications device.

Assignee:

Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB - Lund

International Classification:

H04J 1/02

US Classification:

370497, 370487

Abstract:

Methods and systems for selectively transferring confidential or private information to a user of a communication device are disclosed. In an exemplary method, a trigger event is detected at a first communication device, resulting in the retrieval of a data object for transmission to a second communication device. If the data object includes private or confidential information, consent of a user of the first communication device is required before the data object may be sent to the second communication device. In some embodiments, consent is obtained by explicitly requesting consent from a user. In others, consent may be deemed under pre-determined circumstances.

Inventors:

Anthony J. Sammarco - Raleigh NC, US

Assignee:

Sony Mobil Communications AB - Lund

International Classification:

H04W 4/00
G06F 15/16

US Classification:

370338, 709227

Abstract:

Techniques for processing data related to common interests of two or more users of a communication system are disclosed. In an exemplary method disclosed herein, the occurrence of a trigger event at a first communication device is detected, wherein the trigger event is related to communications between the first communication device and a second communication device. In response to the trigger event, the transmission of a first data object to the second communication device is initiated, wherein the first data object comprises information indicating one or more interests of a user of the first communication device. The exemplary method further comprises receiving and processing a second data object formed in response to the first data object, the second data comprising data related to one or more common interests shared by the users of the first and second communication devices. Similar methods suitable for implementing at a user communication device or at a data object server are disclosed, as are correspondingly configured devices.

Assignee:

Sony Mobile Communications AB - Lund

International Classification:

H04B 15/00
H04B 1/06

US Classification:

455502, 455133, 455137, 455273, 4552771

Abstract:

A mobile device that includes an antenna, an interface, and an application. The antenna is capable of receiving a signal. The interface is capable of receiving a second signal in synchronization with the signal and the application is configured to perform receive diversity processing using the signal and the second signal. Further, is included a mobile device that includes the antenna, the interface, and a second application where the second application is configured to perform multiple input multiple output (MIMO) processing using the signal and the second signal. Increased bandwidth and processing gain is achieved for the received signal by the receive diversity processing and the MIMO processing.

US Classification:

455566, 715838, 715835, 715836, 715837, 725109, 725113

Abstract:

A system and method of navigating among multiple real-time data streams on a mobile device is presented. Multiple thumbnail image representations are displayed wherein each thumbnail image is associated with an available real-time data stream. A user provides navigation input via a user interface for navigating among the multiple displayed thumbnail image representations. The thumbnail image representation currently selected based on the navigation input is highlighted or otherwise made to stand out on the mobile device display. The user then selects a highlighted thumbnail image representation, via the user interface, thereby activating the real-time data stream associated with the highlighted thumbnail image representation. This causes the real-time data stream associated with the selected highlighted thumbnail image representation to be displayed on the mobile device display.

International Classification:

H04Q007/20

US Classification:

455/456100, 455/432100

Abstract:

A method for detecting the availability of an alternate wireless communication system. A wireless terminal registers with a first wireless communication system. A determination is made as to whether the wireless terminal has moved out of a selected geographic region. An alternate wireless communication system is scanned for responsive to determining that the wireless terminal has moved out of the selected geographic region. The alternate wireless communication system has a communication protocol that is different from a communication protocol of the first wireless communication system.
