A satellite positioning system enabled mobile station (12) and method therefor having a satellite positioning system signal reception interface, for example a GPS receiver (14), an information processor (22) coupled to the satellite positioning system signal reception interface, the information processor controlling the satellite positioning system signal reception interface for receiving satellite positioning system signals upon which mobile station positioning may be determined based upon a satellite positioning system based position fix generation rate instruction.
Abstract:
The disclosed are methods and computing devices configured to engage in Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) conference calls and configured to participate as a moderator of VOIP conference calls allow a moderator or delegate to monitor the mute status of call participants and/or control which participants are muted. In this way, a participant would not be required to necessarily adhere to conference call muting etiquette. For example, in the event that a participant's line is noisy, which may be unknown to the participant, the moderator could mute the line. Other distractions to the conference call as a whole could therefore be controlled as well. The ability to mute determine and/or control the muting of a participant device furthermore enables the moderator to engage rules of conduct and/or adhere to rules of order that may be desirable in particular types of conference calls.
Abstract:
A location tracking service is provided whereby a user of a communication device may determine a geographical location of a subscribing customer (110) of the service. The user conveys a request to the service (108) that the service determine a location of the subscribing customer (110). In response to receiving the request, the service (108) prompts the user to provide a subscribing customer identifier. Based on the provided subscribing customer identifier, the service determines a geographical location of the subscribing customer (110) by determining a geographical location of a communication device of the subscribing customer (110), and conveys the determined geographical location to the user. The service is also capable of providing to the user the length of time that the subscribing customer (110) has been positioned at the determined geographical location and a direction of movement of the subscribing customer (110).
