Abstract:

A method of coordinating the handoff of a mobile carrier between a first access network and a second access network. The method including establishing a contract between a user of a mobile carrier and a hyper operator and attempting a hand off from a first access network that the mobile carrier is currently operating within to a second access network, wherein the attempting includes authenticating at the hyper operator only that the user may have access to the second access network via the contract. Handing off to the second access network if the authenticating is successful.

International Classification:

G06F 11/00

US Classification:

714 20, 705 36

Abstract:

In one aspect of the invention, a method of dynamically switching among a plurality of fault tolerance schemes is provided. The fault tolerance schemes are associated with a fault tolerance mechanism that executes in a distributed system. The method comprises obtaining a wait time of at least one user interface event occurring in the distributed system. The wait time includes at least one of a communications time, a service time and a fault tolerance time. The method further comprises determining whether a mean of the wait time is greater than a predetermined mean wait time threshold. The method also comprises determining whether the communications time, the service time and the fault tolerance time are mutually independent when the mean of the wait time is greater than the predetermined mean wait time threshold. In addition, the method comprises determining whether the mean of the wait time can be improved by reducing a mean of the fault tolerance time when the communications time, the service time and the fault tolerance time are mutually independent. The method also comprises switching from a first fault tolerance scheme to a second fault tolerance scheme when the wait time can be improved by reducing the mean of the fault tolerance time.

International Classification:

G06F 11/00

US Classification:

714 26

Abstract:

Embodiments of an intelligent agent for an OMA DM enabled mobile client device are described. The intelligent agent includes modules for storing management property values in one or more nodes of an OMA DM management tree of the mobile client device. At least some of the management values are analyzed and set in a server computer coupled to the mobile client device over a wireless network. The intelligent mobile client is configured to manage itself based on initial instructions and policies provided by a server that are transferred to the client by the OMA DM protocol. For example, a client might notice that the battery is nearly empty and so it automatically decreases its own backlight illumination level. The intelligent agent defines a set of management properties to include a status property representing a node severity value, and a property group consisting of a rule, an action property representing an action that is executed if the rule is satisfied, and a threshold value that represents a minimum value that is used as a rule parameter.

Abstract:

A context-aware search service is provided to users requesting information. The context-aware search incorporates contextual information such as the context of the user making the request, the external context of the user or terminal that the user accesses, or the characteristics or context of the terminal. The contextualized request is processed through sets of analyses to customize the request including analyses to determine an exact nature of the request, analyses to limit a universe of reference to be examined to provide the result, and analyses to select the most appropriate content and format for presentation to the user once the result is obtained from separate service providers.
