Abstract:
Un procedimiento para localizar un dispositivo (14) de comunicación inalámbrica objetivo, comprendiendo el procedimiento: recibir (300), en el dispositivo (14) de comunicación inalámbrica objetivo, un paquete (46) de datos de comunicación que tiene un formato predeterminado que comprende un código (48) de estado de localización asociado con uno de una pluralidad de estados (58) de localización predeterminados en el que el dispositivo (14) inalámbrico objetivo es operativo, en el que cada estado (58) de localización se almacena en una memoria (54) en el dispositivo (14) inalámbrico objetivo y comprende una o más rutinas (22, 24, 26, 27, 28, 30, 31, 32) de localización predeterminadas llevadas a cabo por el dispositivo (14) inalámbrico objetivo; y ejecutar (310) al menos una de la una o más rutinas (22, 24, 26, 27, 28, 30, 31, 32) de localización predeterminadas en el dispositivo (14) de comunicación inalámbrica objetivo como respuesta a la detección del código (48) de estado de localización en el paquete (46) de datos de comunicación, en el que ejecutar comprende además hacer funcionar el dispositivo inalámbrico (14) en un modo sigiloso que inhabilita la salida por el dispositivo inalámbrico (14) de indicadores perceptibles por el usuario que normalmente se generarían durante la ejecución de la una o más rutinas (22, 24, 26, 27, 28, 30, 31, 32) de localización predeterminadas en un modo no sigiloso.
Abstract:
Methods, devices, apparatus and systems are provided for adaptation of a wireless communication device based on current environmental conditions, historical environmental condition patterns and/or historical usage patterns. In this regard, the device senses such environmental conditions as light, sound, motion, temperature and the like and, automatically or at user discretion, adjusts functionality on the device that is affected by these conditions. Additionally, by determining environmental and usage patterns the device can adapt to the patterns by providing certain functionality and/or applications to the user at prescribed times of the day, week, month, etc. By being able to automatically adapt the functionality of a wireless communication device, the user of such a device experiences greater ease in using the device and an overall heightened user experience.
Abstract:
Methods, devices, computer program products, processors and wireless networks are presented that provide for temporary storage of media content on a wireless communication device. According to aspects, when a wireless communication device requests media content from a media content service but is unable to receive the media due to insufficient memory availability, insufficient wireless network signal strength or another delivery attribute, the media content service automatically re-directs delivery of the content to the associated temporary storage wireless communication device. In turn, the wireless device that requested the media content is able to automatically retrieve the media content from the temporary storage device when memory capacity or network signal strength is deemed sufficient to provide for storage or reception.
Abstract:
Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate the automated delivery of media content, such as music, audio clips, advertisements and including other digitized multi-media files, in a wireless communication environment. In an aspect, the media content may be downloaded to a user based on various user-characteristics, such as a profile of the user, the preferences of the user for a genre of media content, and the behavior of the user with respect to user actions on a wireless communication device.
Abstract:
Methods, devices, computer program products, processors and wireless networks are presented that provide for temporary storage of media content on a wireless communication device (14). According to aspects, when a wireless communication device (10) requests media content from a media content service (12) but is unable to receive the media due to insufficient memory availability, insufficient wireless network signal strength or another delivery attribute, the media content service (12) automatically re-directs delivery of the content to the associated temporary storage wireless communication device (14). In turn, the wireless device (10) that requested the media content is able to automatically retrieve the media content from the temporary storage device (14) when memory capacity or network signal strength is deemed sufficient to provide for storage or reception.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus are presented for recording broadcast media content at a wireless communication device and, in some aspects, sharing the recorded broadcast media content with other wireless communication devices. The disclosed aspects capture broadcasted media content at predetermined times by implementing a clock function that launches the capture and record module at the predetermined time. In certain aspects, the device incorporates a search function that allows for the predetermined selection of media content criteria that is used to search and determine the media content that is encoded and stored for subsequent use and/or sharing. In other aspects, the recorded broadcast media content is shared with other wireless communication devices by encoding the recorded/stored media content in a speech-format and communicating the speech-formatted media content to other wireless devices.
