Abstract: The present invention relates to a wireless communication system (100) having a storage device (112) for storing a list containing status information and identifiers for a plurality of previously identified wireless communication devices (102). A processor in a mobile communication device can retrieve and store a list containing status information and identifiers for a plurality of previously identified mobile devices from a remote server device and display them on the display screen thereof. By utilizing subscriber status information a user can determine the status of a mobile device associated with the intended recipient of a call or message prior to any attempt to contact that person. The interaction between the mobile device used by the user and the monitored mobile devices can be through a phone call or a text message, either of which can be initiated with minimal device interaction by using embedded contact information.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method and apparatus for providing visual interfaces to mobile subscriber account services suitable for mobile devices (106) with a small screen (116) and phone keypad (118) communicating, via a wireless data network (102), with a remotely located server device (114) providing the mobile subscriber account services. The mobile subscriber services are accessed through the wireless data network, the server device comprising an account manager managing a user account associated with the client device. The screen display comprises a plurality of user interface components, each corresponding to a particular aspect of the mobile subscriber services. Apart from the interactive voice system and other related systems providing access to subscriber account services, the present invention provides direct visual interface to the mobile subscriber account services and allows mobile subscribers to efficiently, visually and interactively, for example, access desired information and place service requests, through the limited screen and phone keypad at anytime from anywhere with limited costs to the service providers and maximum convenience to mobile subscribers.

Abstract: A system for displaying idle content information on wireless computing devices during idle times is disclosed. A wireless computing device (106) receives from a wireless network (102) idle content information specified by an address identifier identifying a network resource in the wireless network. When the device determined as being idle, the idle content information is displayed on the device display (116). The idle content information might be the network operators customer support telephone number or advertisements. A browser program within the device may be modified to support looping content, interaction with idle displays, automatic scrolling, and automatic updating of idle content information.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an on-line auction system (100) supporting wireless network users (108) and wired network users (104, 106) as bidders. The auction system has an auction server (102) that conducts on-line auctions for items by allowing bidders to electronically submit bids, and a proxy server (116) that supports the wireless network users, receives auction update messages from the auction server, and stores auction information pertaining to the on-line auctions for which the wireless network users are participating. The wireless network users can access the stored auction information, can be alerted when a prior bid has been out-bid, and can increase the bid.
