Abstract: A method and apparatus for filtering a peer-to-peer (P2P) search query in a P2P network (100) is provided. A P2P-enabled device (102) generates a P2P search query (404) and appends device capability information to the P2P search query to generate a device-specific P2P search query (412). The device-specific P2P search query is provided (414) to the P2P network (100) and search query results are remotely filtered in response to the device-specific P2P search query to generate filtered search query results for providing to the P2P-enabled device (416).

Abstract: A wireless communication device includes a wireless transceiver, a controller having a re-direction output communicably coupled to the wireless transceiver, and a battery device having a battery level output communicably coupled to the controller, wherein the wireless communication device is operable to attempt re-directing streaming content received at the wireless communication device to another entity in response to a battery level signal on the battery level output coupled to the controller.

Abstract: A mobile communication device as described herein is configured to support a wireless service discovery routine within a wireless local area. The service discovery routine identifies compatible devices in the vicinity of the mobile device, where the compatible devices represent potential forward-to devices for purposes of call forwarding for the mobile device. The mobile device receives one or more potential forward-to telephone numbers during the service discovery routine, selects a designated forward-to telephone number, and generates a call forwarding request that identifies the designated forward-to telephone number. The service discovery routine is carried out using one wireless communication protocol, and the call forwarding request is carried out using a different wireless communication protocol (e.g., a cellular protocol).

Abstract: Selective transport medium selection is provided. A first device and a second device exchange descriptions. The descriptions identify available services on each device and all available transport mediums for each service. At least one of the available services is chosen and one of the available transport mediums is selected to exchange data between the first device and the second device.

Abstract: A method of remote control of a wireless communication unit (300) operating in a communication network (100) having the steps of creating a message (202) to be delivered to said wireless communication unit (300) by a Content Provider (104); creating at least one instruction (204) for said wireless communication unit (300) by said Content Provider (104); delivering (210) said message and said instruction to said wireless communication unit (300); processing (222) said instruction by said wireless communication unit.
