Abstract:
Disclosed is a portable token device that may be used to assist a user in generating a PIN at one device and to then pass the PIN to another device such that the two devices can securely communicate with one another. The portable token device may include: an interface; and a processor. The processor may execute operations including: determining if a close proximity coupling through the interface to a first device has occurred; transmitting a PIN request to the first device; and obtaining a PIN. Further, the processor may determine if a close proximity coupling through the interface to a second device has occurred. If so, the processor may command transmitting the PIN to the second device. The second device may perform device registration with the first device based upon the received PIN.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for determining a suitability for a mobile client to display information are disclosed. A particular exemplary method includes maintaining on the mobile client a list of first attributes relating to message cache misses of a cache memory located on the mobile client, receiving on the mobile client a set of target attributes associated with a target message, performing on the mobile client one or more matching operations between the first attributes and the target attributes to produce a matching result, and storing the target message in a cache in the mobile client dependant upon the matching result.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed that includes detecting a change in an inclination at a panel of an electronic device. The panel has a display surface. The method also includes detecting a rotation of the panel from a first orientation to a second orientation. The method also includes automatically redrawing an image displayed at the display surface responsive to the rotation when the change in the inclination of the panel does not exceed a threshold during the rotation.
Abstract:
Techniques for providing a smart dial controller for enhancing a telephone voice call using a data connection. In an exemplary embodiment, a dial controller may be provided in a calling device for calling another user, and/or a called device for receiving a call from another user. Techniques are provided for both the calling device and the called device to access a content server storing profiles of the calling user and/or the called user, subject to user-determined privacy settings. Such profiles may include, e.g., multi-media information on the status, location, or preferences of the users. In an exemplary embodiment, the dial controller may delay the establishment of a voice connection pending user review and approval of the other user's profile. According to an advantage of the present disclosure, no modifications are required on the network side to implement the techniques described herein.
