International Classification:

G09G 5/02
G06F 3/041

US Classification:

345589, 345173, 345660

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for performing an action while a portable computing device is in a locked state is disclosed. An unlock image is displayed in a first region of a touch-sensitive display. Responsive to detecting contact with the touch-sensitive display at the first region, an action image is displayed in a second region of the touch-sensitive display. While the unlock image remains stationary at the first region, movement of the contact with the touch-sensitive display is detected and a direction of movement of the contact is determined. Responsive to determining the direction of movement of the contact is towards the action image, the action image is visually modified to distinguish it from the unlock image. Responsive to the contact with the touch-sensitive display reaching the second region, an action associated with the action image is performed.

International Classification:

G06F 1200
G06F 1300

US Classification:

395474

Abstract:

By handling initial processing of HDLC frames, an HDLC engine can free up a server microprocessor that would otherwise be tasked to respond to incoming frames. Sharing a memory with the microprocessor, the engine periodically accesses an address status table in the memory to retrieve data in order to process received frames based on the status of the frame address.

International Classification:

G06F 3/01
G06F 9/44
G06F 3/03

Abstract:

A system and method for gesture control of a mobile communications device link a single user gesture to a plurality of device functions or modules. One or more condition sensors associated with the device are then employed by the mobile communications device to disambiguate the gesture such that the device may then activate one of the plurality of device functions or modules. In this way, the user controls the activation of multiple functions or modules via use of a single gesture.

International Classification:

G06F 11/14
H04L 29/08

Abstract:

Multiple computing devices () transfer data and otherwise communicate directly with one another, and do so in the absence of any intervening devices such as devices accessed over the Internet or other wide-range network. A user of a particular device can select which other devices, if any, are to be trusted by the particular device. Once another device is trusted by the particular device, data from the particular device is backed up to the trusted device while the two devices are in close physical proximity to one another. In the event that data on the particular device is lost, the lost data can be restored from the trusted device to the particular device while the two devices are in close physical proximity to one another.
