  • Publication number: 20090204641
    Abstract: System, apparatus, method, and article for techniques to associate media data with related information. A mobile computing device includes a media manager module. The media manager module processes a media file including metadata. The media manager module retrieves a first content from a metadata field in the metadata. The media manager module retrieves a second content from a field in an application file associated with an application client. The media manager module compares the first and second contents and determines whether the first and second contents are associated. If the first and second contents are associated, the media manager module retrieves the second content and inserts the second content in a second metadata field of the media file.

  • Publication number: 20090100756
    Abstract: A movable barrier drive case (300) and a clamp (301) wherein the clamp can be configured and arranged to securely and non-temporarily attached the movable barrier drive case to a mounting channel (100). The movable barrier drive case can be configured and arranged to attach securely and non-temporarily to a movable barrier drive assembly. By these teachings, this movable barrier drive case can further comprise an installation safety latch (402) that is configured and arranged to securely and only temporarily maintain a selected disposition of the movable barrier drive case with respect to the mounting channel during installation of the movable barrier drive case. So configured, the installation safety latch can serve to maintain the movable barrier drive case in an installer's selected position with respect to the mounting channel during installation prior to using the clamp to non-temporarily attach the movable barrier drive case to the mounting channel.

  • Publication number: 20080129835
    Abstract: A device is configured to enhance operation using non-image data in an image file. This non-image data may be added to the image file by the device. The non-image data may include event information such as events from a user's calendar application, public event information, etc. The non-image data could include data based on a recognition program (e.g. photo-recognition program) run on the image. The non-image data could be added by associating images together. The non-image data could also be from any number of other sources. One embodiment for enhancing operation is the ability to access images in unique ways, such as access all images associated with an event using a calendar application. Another example is to access all images of a contact using a contacts application.

  • Publication number: 20050231611
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for managing categorized images in a digital camera is provided. In one aspect, a method includes, storing images on a storage media in the digital imaging device, where each image includes at least one tag corresponding to a category for categorizing the images. A category list is generated that includes the categories corresponding to the tags in the images and the category list is stored on the storage media. The category list identifies, for each category, which of the stored images have the tag corresponding to the category. A category within the category list is designated as a default category. The method further includes accessing the image category list in order to display the images, wherein only the identified images of the default category are displayed, thereby speeding access to, and display of, the images.

  • Patent number: 6954642
    Abstract: In a mobile communications system 10, a message is sent to a mobile terminal 16 which transmits an acknowledgement signal if the message is received. If the system 10 does not detect an acknowledgement signal, it transmits a high margin notification signal to the mobile terminal 16 to notify the terminal that an attempt was made to send the message. When the mobile terminal 16 has received a notification signal and subsequently comes within range of lower margin signals from the system, it sends a registration signal to the system. The system may then retransmit the message to the mobile terminal 16.
