Abstract: An image display apparatus includes a detection unit and a controller. The detection unit detects a specified position on a display screen on which an image is displayed. When the specified position on the display screen is moved, the controller performs a page switching operation or a move operation on the basis of a movement direction in which the specified position is moved. The page switching operation is an operation of switching an image being displayed on the display screen to another image. The move operation is an operation of moving a display position of the image being displayed on the display screen.
Abstract: A data processing system and computer program product for sharing displayed content. A content displayed on a source computer system is shared with a set of target computer systems, wherein the content is displayed on a target display on each target computer system in the set of target computer systems. In response to a change in the content displayed on the source computer system, a progress in displaying the change in the content on the target display on the each target computer system in the set of target computer systems is identified. An indication of the progress in displaying the change in the content on the target display on the each target computer system in the set of target computer systems is generated at the source computer system.

Abstract: Described herein are techniques preparing a wireless backhaul among cellular access points. The cellular access points may obtain either (i) locations of themselves and other devices or (ii) instructions for adjusting position of wireless transceivers of the cellular access points. Based at least in part on the locations or instructions, the cellular access points may adjust positions of the wireless transceivers and initiate wireless connections via the wireless transceivers. The cellular access points may receive the locations or instructions from a server of the telecommunication network, which may determine pairs of the cellular access points based at least in part on the locations of the cellular access points.
Abstract: Computer systems and methods for managing network data consumption between a client computer and one or more server computers. A computer system comprising: a memory persistently storing a set of instructions; one or more processors coupled to the memory, wherein the one or more processors execute the set of instructions, which causes the one or more processors to: intercept, at a client computer, a first request to a first server computer from a first application being executed on the client computer before the client computer sends the first request to the first server computer; determine whether the first request should be monitored based on data associated with the first application; in response to determining that the first request should be monitored, redirect the first request to a second server computer that is different than the first server computer, and include one or more parameters that identify the first application and the first server computer.
Abstract: A network is provided that includes a mobile device and a configurable stub having a stub configuration embedded in the mobile device non-transitory memory. An operating server has an operating server processor and the operating server is configured to send Short Messaging Service (SMS) messages. A processor controlled global service discovery server is configured to receive the stub configuration and to inform the mobile device about the operating server.
Abstract: A communication system configured to provide at least two policy controlled data sessions on a data carrier is disclosed. The communication system comprises means configured to provide control such that at least two data sessions on a data carrier are policy controlled by means of a policy controller entity.
Abstract: Fisheye Lens Based Proactive User Interface for Wireless Mobile Devices [FLBPUI] is a technique to proactively alert and interact with users according to scenarios/situations particularly by sensing the environmental in all possible direction. FLBPUI works without expecting user input to start interacting with users similar to how we humans look, sense and proactively interact with other people. When user needs to be alerted regarding unattended parameters comprising missed calls, messages, mails, calendar the sensor system starts scanning for environmental users. Sensor system generates trigger signal by scanning environmental users/objects through visual/infrared sensing, face/body recognition, sensing property, direction, dimension, range, orientation, location with respect to mobile device, usage scenarios, and operating modes. Processing unit computes alerting signal based nature of trigger signal and comparing it with predetermined and tested correlation table parameters.
Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to calendaring and scheduling and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for providing a unified view of aggregated calendar data in a C&S system. In one embodiment of the invention, a method for providing a unified view of aggregated calendar data for an event in a calendar view can be provided. The method can include selecting an event in the calendar view, aggregating calendar data for the event relating to all invitees for the event, computing statistics for the aggregated calendar data, and rendering a display of the computed statistics proximate to the selected event in the calendar view.

Abstract: System and methods are provided for receiving selection, by a user, of a subset of message clusters in a plurality of message clusters. Each message cluster is associated with a corresponding set of clustering rules. Each respective electronic message, addressed to and/or from the user, in a plurality of electronic messages is assigned to one or more of the clusters in the subset of clusters in accordance with the sets of clustering rules associated with the subset of clusters. The set of clustering rules for a first cluster in the subset of clusters (i) prevents some messages in the plurality of messages from being assigned to the first cluster and (ii) assigns messages to the first cluster without regard to content relatedness between messages in the plurality of messages and messages already in the first cluster. Messages in the first cluster are formatted for display as a single cluster graphic.

Abstract: It is provided an apparatus, including base station means adapted to provide a base station functionality for a first user equipment attached to a first network and a second user equipment attached to a second network different from the first network; access barring broadcasting means adapted to broadcast, via the base station means, a first EAB parameter including a first category indication for extended access barring related to the first network and a second category indication for extended access barring related to the second network.
Abstract: A user can access a mapping application from multiple devices, and updates made through one application can automatically be synchronized across the other devices. In some embodiments, a number of different activities of a user, such as entering an address or selecting a route, can cause information for that activity to be provided to a logically centralized system or service. The system or service then can notify the other devices of updated map state information for the user, which those devices can then request or download. The map information can include point of interest (POI) information from a number of sources, such as from a media information source that is able to provide POI information for locations associated with books, movies, music, and other types of media.
