Abstract: Methods and systems for applying power to a mobile device responsive to user actions are disclosed. An exemplary method includes detecting, while a mobile device is powered down, actions made by a user in connection with the user handling the mobile device without pressing a power button of the mobile device. A prediction is then made that the user is about to power up the mobile device based upon particular actions made by the user. And before the user presses the power button, power is applied to processing and network communication components of the mobile device so that if the user presses the power button, the processing and network communication components are already powered; thus reducing an amount of time it takes for the mobile device to access a network with the mobile device.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses are disclosed for presenting applications to a user, via a mobile wireless communication device (user equipment), that are selected and ranked based on context information describing a location and type of motion of the user equipment, and/or a time that the ranking request was made, compared to context information describing the applications.

Abstract: A wireless smart shopping framework is disclosed. An operator of a retail premises provides displays of products in a product display portion of a retail premises to enable shoppers to view features of the products, but the products are stored in an inventory portion of the retail premises that is separate from the product display portion of the retail premises. Shoppers browse the product display portion of the retail premises and scan product identifying information (e.g., by taking pictures of the displayed products). The operator receives, via a wireless receiver, the product-identifying information for selected products from the wireless mobile communication device, and gathers the selected products from the inventory portion. When the shopper is done shopping, the selected products are moved to a checkout location and payment is received for the selected products.

Abstract: Methods and mobile devices for performing operations responsive to user actions are disclosed. The method includes prompting a user of a mobile device to make a particular action that is detectable by the mobile device, and prompting the user to select a particular operation that the user desires to have effectuated when the particular action is subsequently carried out. In addition, an indicator of the particular action is stored on the mobile device in connection with an indicator of the particular operation to associate the particular action with the particular operation. And after registration, when the particular action is sensed with the mobile device, the particular operation is effectuated.

Abstract: A very intuitive and simple set of touch-screen input steps along with the processing of those input steps allows a user to appear to gather shareable files with his fingers on one touch-screen apparatus, lift the files from the touch-screen and drop the shareable files on a touch screen of a second, co-located touch-screen apparatus. The touch-screen apparatus initiating the transfer of files is preset with sharing parameters to manage the transfer of files to a local or remote server. One or more touch-screen apparatus accepting the transfer of files is preset with acceptance parameters to manage the transfer of files from the server to the accepting touch-screen apparatus. Once the files are at the server, multiple touch-screen apparatus may be used to request shareable files from the server.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for automatic mobile device crash notification to a wireless network comprising setting configuration parameters for automatic notification if a crash occurs, detecting at least one stalled condition to determine if the crash occurred, gathering crash data, establishing a reverse link data call to the wireless network, and transferring the crash data to the wireless network.

Abstract: Packets of information may be received in accordance with a protocol stack having a first portion (400) that contains a control layer and a stream layer, and a second portion (401) that contains a physical layer and a MAC layer. The second portion also maintains a group of inbound packets and respectively associated error statuses. The first portion invokes an application programming interface (API 1301,1302,1401,1402) to instruct the second portion to perform an action with respect to at least one of the inbound packets, which action is related to the error status associated with that packet.
