Patent number: 9660746Abstract: Songs titles and song artists or other content received on an HD-radio are cross-referenced to one or more geographic locations where they were heard on the radio by identifying a song title or artist in the HD radio data stream and instructing a global positioning system navigation unit to contemporaneously determine its location. The determined location and song title and/or artist are cross-referenced to each other in a list or database. A touch-sensitive display device is configured to display the location or portion of a route where a listened-to song was heard. Song titles and/or artists can be determined by tactile selection of portions of a route displayed on the map.Type: GrantFiled: August 15, 2014Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Daryl Joseph Martin, Conor Michael O'Neill

Patent number: 9406049Abstract: A method, device and system are provided for automated updating of message recipients designated for a reply message based on a declaration or notification in a body of the message. Once a reply message is initiated at a first device and an initial recipient set defined for the reply message based on the participants of a previous message of the thread, a declaration or instruction may be inserted in the message body identifying a change to be made to the initial recipient set. In response to a trigger detected at the device, any such declarations are identified and a determination is made whether the current recipient set is consistent with them. If not, changes are made to the current recipient set to render it consistent.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2012Date of Patent: August 2, 2016Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Daryl Joseph Martin, Conor Michael O'Neill

Patent number: 9171291Abstract: A method, device and system are provided for automated insertion of message conversation or thread participant changes in a message body prior to receipt of the message by a recipient of the reply message. Once a reply message is initiated at a first device and an initial recipient set defined for the reply message based on the participants of a previous message of the thread, one or more changes may be made to the recipients specified for the message. In response to a trigger detected at the device, changes to the initial recipient set are identified and indicated by a textual or other notification within the body of the reply message, rather than merely in a header or addressing portion of the reply message. The indication may then be viewable using a recipient messaging client even if header information reflecting the change in recipients is not displayed by the client.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2012Date of Patent: October 27, 2015Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Daryl Joseph Martin, Conor Michael O'Neill
