Abstract:
A communication server is disclosed. The communication server comprises a processor, a memory, and an application stored in the memory. The application, when executed by the processor, receives a request that identifies a subject to remove from a user history of the a user equipment (UE), wherein the user history is compiled based on communication events initiated by the UE and is associated with content that is sent to the UE. The application, responsive to receiving the request from the UE, transmits a user history modification request to a history management server, wherein the communication server disassociates the subject from the user history identified in the request received from the UE.
Abstract:
A method of wireless communication. The method comprising receiving by an application executing on a mobile communication device a provisioning payload comprising a zero-rated access point name (APN) from a wireless communication network, where the zero-rated APN is used by the wireless communication network to provide a distinctive communication service to the mobile communication device without counting data tonnage associated with the distinctive communication service against a data limit of a wireless communication service plan associated with the mobile communication device, receiving by the application a command to initiate the distinctive communication service, engaging the distinctive communication service to use the zero-rated APN in conducting the distinctive communication service, and providing the distinctive communication service to the mobile communication device at a lower quality of service (QoS) by a wireless communication network node relative to a standard QoS provided to standard communication service in the wireless communication network.
Abstract:
A method, system, and medium are provided for determining the identity of a user associated with a wireless device located near a geographic location at a specific time. In response to the occurrence of an event at a geographic location, a request can be issued by a wireless provider to users of wireless devices to provide the geographic locations of their respective devices and their identities to one or more entities. Upon receiving an affirmative response to the request, the wireless provider communicates information to the entities allowing the entities to contact the users to solicit information regarding the occurrence of the event. A wireless provider may send a request for authorization to users of wireless devices to provide geographic locations when the wireless devices enter a predefined geographic area.

Abstract:
A data message originally addressed to a first mobile device is forwarded to a second mobile device in a wireless telecommunications network. Data messages may include text messages, picture messages, and video messages. In addition to forwarding data messages, other optional data message forwarding features are provided such as a copy feature that allows for a forwarded message to be copied back to the original addressee, and an invisible feature that prevents a data message sender from knowing that a data message has been forwarded by the data message addressee.

Abstract:
A method, system, and medium are provided for determining the geographic location associated with events depicted in media. The geographic locations can be provided by creators of the media, or by users who view the media. The geographic locations can then be stored in a database on a server. A determination can be made as to whether the geographic locations are within a predefined distance of the geographic location of a wireless device. A set of events located within the predefined distance can be presented to a user of the wireless device.
Abstract:
Methods and systems for displaying location uncertainty of locations of mobile devices are provided. A location of a mobile device may be determined using a location system. The mobile device can be associated with a location service that locates the mobile device. The location system identifies the location of the mobile device that is an approximation of the location of the mobile device. An uncertainty region for the location of the mobile device is identified. The uncertainty region determines an extent of geographic data that is displayed on a location diagram based on a correlation between the uncertainty region and the extent of geographic data. The extent of geographic data that corresponds to the uncertainty region is determined. The location associated with the uncertainty region is communicated such that the location is displayed on the location diagram with the extent of geographic data using the obscuring feature.
