Appl. No.:

10/223417

Inventors:

John Richard Kane - Fox River Grove IL, US

Assignee:

Motorola, Inc. - Schaumburg IL

International Classification:

H04L 12/26
H04J 3/16

US Classification:

370230, 370468

Abstract:

A user will receive a variation of a particular file depending upon the type of network the user is currently accessing. More particularly, a user will typically receive a smaller version of a file when the user is accessing a low-bandwidth (low data rates) network, and can choose to receive a larger version of the file when the user accesses a high-bandwidth (high data rates) network. When several networks are available to the user either simultaneously or sequentially, the user will receive the optimum file version based on cost and quality preferences in the former case and may receive multiple versions of the file in the later case, each increasing in quality.

International Classification:

H04M 11/04

US Classification:

4554042, 340690

Abstract:

A method and wireless device augment and manage, respectively, emergency alert messages with additional emergency information. An emergency alert message is determined to have been sent () to one or more wireless devices () in a given area. The emergency alert message is analyzed () to determine a type of emergency associated with the emergency alert message. Optionally, a current location of at least one wireless device () within the given area is determined. A message is generated (), based at least in part on the type of emergency and logistics of the given area, including additional emergency information for augmenting the emergency alert message. The message that has been generated is transmitted to the at least one wireless device (). This message is, optionally, adjusted based on the location of the device and the logistics of the given area.

US Classification:

705 1413, 705 1414

Abstract:

Disclosed are methods for extracting and using information about an entity that has a presence in a number of information domains. The entity has separate identifiers in each of several domains. Various techniques are described that bind together the identifiers of the entity across the domains. The results of the binding are provided to an interested party that can review information extracted about the entity's behavior in the multiple domains. The interested party is not given access to information that would compromise the confidentiality of the entity. A trusted broker has access to information about the behavior of the entity in the several domains. The broker analyzes that information and provides the analysis to the interested party, again without compromising the confidentiality of the entity. An “incentivizer” works with the broker to extract from the domains information that would be useful in binding together the different identifiers of the entity.
