Abstract: A method for visually rendering data on a display of a mobile device having a native client user interface (UI) may include storing application data on a backend data server without visual attribute formatting associated therewith, and generating visual attribute formatting rules for storage on an application proxy server so that application data retrieved from the backend data server has the visual attribute formatting rules applied thereto. At least one application for the mobile device may be generated that is configured to at least cause the mobile device to retrieve the stored application data having the visual attribute formatting rules applied thereto from the backend data server via the application proxy server, and visually render on the display of the mobile device the retrieved application data having the visual attribute formatting rules applied thereto using the native client UI and without visual attribute formatting by the at least one application.

Abstract: A method (60) of reducing navigational keystrokes on an electronic device includes the steps of displaying (61) a plurality of options and associated references on a graphical user interface, dynamically associating (62) at least one among the plurality of options with at least one among the associated references, and activating (63) a desired option by activating an input on an input device having a corresponding reference. Note, the associated references correspond to references illustrated on the input device. The method can further calculate (64) a number of zones based on the number of options to be presented among the plurality of options. The number of zones can be calculated (65) based on the size of an image when the plurality of options to be presented is images or alternatively be calculated (66) based on the size of the font size when the plurality of options to be presented is textual.

Abstract: A method for setting up a dynamic group call includes the step (202) of selecting a group of radios (120, 121) by a dynamic group call originator (122). Once the radios that will be part of the dynamic group have been selected, the dynamic group call originator (122) transmits a dynamic group call message(s) to each of the selected radios. Each of the transmitted dynamic group call message(s) includes the IP address of one of the selected radios. Upon each of the target radios receiving their individually directed message, the target radios (120, 121) can each send an optional acknowledgment message to the dynamic group call originator (122). The originator (122) and the target radios (120, 121) then switch to the dynamic talk group number assigned by the dynamic talk group message.

Abstract: A communication device (100, 200) capable of transmitting information provides the means for regulating the temperature (116) of one or more heat-sensitive modules or components (160) of the communication device through the adaptive and dynamic control of the flow of transmissions by the communication device, thereby eliminating the need for stored thermal profiles of heat-sensitive modules of the communication device. In addition to the heat-sensitive module(s), the communication device has a multi-logic controller block (110) and a transmission flow control block (140). The multi-logic controller block (110) receives the temperature of the heat-sensitive module (116) and a first control clock (112) and utilizes multi-value logic to generate a flow control signal having hysteresis (126).

Abstract: A data management system and a method of distributing information units within the system is provided. The system comprises a host processor and plurality of controllers connected to the host processors in a local area network configuration. Each of the plurality of controllers provides access to any user, and each is provided with data storage capacity in the form of local storage in which information units are stored. The host processor manages all information units and their movement within the system. The host processor maintains a directory of all information units stored in the controllers in the system, allowing it to route a particular information unit to a controller for delivery to one or more users at a predetermined time.
