US Patent:

20040218594, Nov 4, 2004

Filed:

May 1, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/427199

Inventors:

Christopher Wolfe - Grayslake IL, US

International Classification:

H04L012/28

US Classification:

370/389000

Abstract:

There is shown and described a messaging device (), and a method thereof, for responding to multiple messages. A user interface () detects () selection of existing messages from a message receptacle and identifies () an outgoing message. A processor () then populates () an outgoing header field of the outgoing message with information from existing header fields of the existing messages in response to identifying () the outgoing message or detecting selection of an existing message. The processor () may also populate () the outgoing header field of the outgoing message in response to detecting () selection of additional messages. A transceiver () then sends () the outgoing message to a destination device corresponding to the information populated in the outgoing header field.

Appl. No.:

13/462529

Inventors:

Christopher M. Wolfe - Antioch IL, US
Joshua D. Galicia - Cary IL, US
Andrew N. Tzakis - Vernon Hills IL, US

Assignee:

Motorola Mobility, Inc. - Libertyville IL

International Classification:

G09G 5/00

US Classification:

345629

Abstract:

A method of operation generates live wallpaper display data associated with a first operating system environment and generates overlay display data associated with a second operating system environment, both operating system environments utilizing a common kernel. The overlay display data is overlaid on the live wallpaper of the first operating system environment. The method may also include generating at least one active application window as a portion of the live wallpaper display data. The embodiments disclosed include an apparatus that performs the above outlined method. The apparatus includes multi-environment display data handling logic, operative to generate live wallpaper display data associated with a first operating system environment. The multi-environment display data handling logic generates overlay display data associated with a second operating system environment, which is then overlaid on the live wallpaper of the first operating system environment.

Christopher M. Wolfe - Antioch IL, US
Andrew N. Tzakis - Vernon-Hills IL, US

Assignee:

Motorola Mobility, Inc. - Libertyville IL

International Classification:

G06F 9/46
G06F 3/00

US Classification:

719319

Abstract:

A method includes running a first operating system environment and a second independent operating system environment, with both operating system environments utilizing a common kernel. The method includes mapping a home screen of the first operating system environment to a workspace of the second operating system environment, and generating display data for a combined workspace using the mapping of the home screen to the workspace. The method may generate the display data for the combined workspace, including at least one selectable application icon for selecting an application associated with the first operating system environment, and at least a second selectable application icon for selecting an application associated with the second operating system environment. A plurality of home screens may be mapped to a plurality of workspaces to create a plurality of combined workspaces. An apparatus having at least one processor is operative to perform the disclosed methods.

US Classification:

719319

Abstract:

A method includes providing data and associated contextual information, to a first operating system environment by a second operating system environment, both operating system environments utilizing a common kernel. The data is utilized by the first operating system environment, based on the contextual information. The method may include installing the data as an application file, using the contextual information to understand that the data is an application file. An apparatus that performs the method includes a programmable processor, and memory containing executable instructions. The processor runs multiple operating system environments utilizing a common kernel. The second operating system environment is operative to provide data and contextual information for the data, to the first operating system environment, and the first operating system environment is operative to utilize the data based on the contextual information.
