Patent number: 10475000Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for providing suggested files in relation to a calendar event. An electronic device receives an input related to the calendar event. Calendar event information, such as attendees, subject, and the date, are obtained. A search is performed for files related to the calendar event information. The related files can be ordered or ranked according to confidence values. The files are then displayed as suggestions. Links between suggested files and the calendar event are also formed.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2012Date of Patent: November 12, 2019Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Jacou Sarrazin, Marc Reddy Gingras, Osman Currim, Eric Allan Fritzley

Patent number: 9819803Abstract: In a computer-implemented method of joining a user to a conference call event an interface associated with a time management software application is displayed. The interface displays information relating to the conference call event including a date for a conference call which is subject of the conference call event and a start time of the conference call. While displaying the interface, a menu offering one or more options is displayed; these one or more options include an option to join the conference call. When an indication of a selection of the option to join the conference call is received, information associated with the conference call is located; this information includes a telephone number for a conference call bridge. A connection with the conference call bridge using the telephone number is initiated.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2015Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Adrian Michael Logan, Rohit Rocky Jain, Eric Allan Fritzley, Christopher Labrador, Michael Patrick McAndrews

Patent number: 9525779Abstract: A method of managing communications services begins with a communications platform receiving a request for a communications service to be provided to a communications device by a source other than the communications platform. The communications platform determines an authorization of the communications device to receive the communications service. The authorization comprises a permission of the communications device to receive the communications service during a lifetime of a communications session maintained with the communications device. The communications network authorizes delivery of the communications service to the communications device during the lifetime of the communications session, in accordance with the authorization.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2013Date of Patent: December 20, 2016Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Christopher Labrador, Brian Alexander Oliver, Douglas Michael Gisby, Susan Elizabeth Simon Daniels, Brian Edward Anthony McColgan, Adrian Michael Logan, Eric Allan Fritzley, Nicholas Patrick Alfano, Richard John George

Publication number: 20150088927Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for using a personal finking graph. An electronic device obtains a first entity. It searches a links database, which includes one or more links between the first entity and other entities. The one or more links form the personal linking graph. The electronic device identifies a second entity associated with the first entity through the one or more links. An action related to the second entity is then performed. For example, the second entity is displayed.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2012Publication date: March 26, 2015Applicant: BLACKBERRY LIMITEDInventors: Jacou Sarrazin, Marc Reddy Gingras, Osman Currim, Eric Allan Fritzley

Publication number: 20120182262Abstract: A method and computing device for managing calendar data records are provided, the computing device comprising a processor interconnected with a memory enabled to maintain the data records and with a touchscreen controlled to generate a representation of a subset of at least two of the data records within a first portion of the touchscreen. The touchscreen is further controlled to generate a representation of details of a first one of the data records in the subset in a second portion of the touchscreen, different from the first portion, when input data associated with the first portion is detected by the touchscreen. The touchscreen is further controlled to generate a representation of details of a next data record in the subset, in a given order, in the second portion, each time an input event is detected at a portion of the touchscreen associated with providing next data records.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2012Publication date: July 19, 2012Applicant: RESEARCH IN MOTION LIMITEDInventors: Eric Allan FRITZLEY, Adrian Michael LOGAN, Rohit Rocky JAIN
