Patent number: 9450994Abstract: In a mobile device, a method of interacting with a first social networking website by way of a network includes communicating indirectly with the first social networking website by interacting with an intermediate web server by way of the network, the intermediate web server in turn being in communication with the first social networking website. The method further includes determining, based at least in part upon a user input received at the mobile device, that the mobile device should communicate directly with the first social networking website in a manner not involving the intermediate web server. The method also includes communicating with the first social networking website directly in the manner not involving the intermediate web server. In another embodiment, the method relates to interacting with a plurality of social networking sites including a first social networking website and a second social networking site.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2015Date of Patent: September 20, 2016Assignee: Google Technology Holdings LLCInventors: Maxon R. Wheeler, William N. Camp, Lien T. Mamitsuka, Christopher A. Mitra, Scott I. Putterman, Kai Wei

Publication number: 20140237060Abstract: Embodiments provide a system and method of using a universal tagged communication for social networks. A user could insert a contact from multiple social networking sources. As the communication is transmitted, the actual text sent to each social networking service changes depending on how that service supports this tagging. A tagging component may generate new tagging formats for each associated social network.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 20, 2014Publication date: August 21, 2014Applicant: MOTOROLA MOBILITY LLCInventors: Lisa N. Reed, Bryan C. Gebhardt, Scott I. Putterman, Sejal Shah, Sunny Y. Yang

Patent number: 8589516Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of facilitating communication between a first content provider website and a mobile device includes obtaining first information from the content provider website via a first network at a web server, the first information not including any email message, where the obtaining includes pulling by way of a back end portion of the web server the first information from the content provider website. The method also includes processing in at least one of the back end portion and a front end portion of the web server the first information so as to provide processed first information, and transmitting a notice of new content in the first information from the front end portion of the web server onto a push channel established on either the first network or a second network for receipt by the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2010Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: Motorola Mobility LLCInventors: Maxon R. Wheeler, William N. Camp, II, Lien T. Mamitsuka, Christopher A. Mitra, Scott I. Putterman, Kai Wei

Publication number: 20130205001Abstract: A method and apparatus for modifying data synchronization of an application responsive to the frequency of application usage are disclosed. Data describing a frequency with which the application is used is captured by a portable computing device. For example, data describing timestamps when the application receives input or data describing a timestamp when the application was the primary application being executed are captured. It is determined whether the frequency of interaction with which the application is used equals or exceeds a threshold value. For example, the portable computing device determines whether the application has received an input or was the primary application within a predetermined time interval from the current time. Responsive to determining the frequency of interaction with the application does not equal or exceed the threshold value, data synchronization for the application is disabled. In one embodiment, the portable computing device stops data synchronization for the application.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2012Publication date: August 8, 2013Applicant: MOTOROLA MOBILITY, INC.Inventors: Lisa N.

Publication number: 20110179378Abstract: A mobile device includes a message entry area on a display for the user to view input text, the size based on the smallest message size permitted by the one or more destination content providers. The content from the user interface input populates the message input area. A warning is generated when the limit is reached. The message with entered content is communicated to the intermediary server with the identity of the one or more content providers for uploading by the intermediary server to the one or more content providers in the format desired by the content provider website.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2010Publication date: July 21, 2011Applicant: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Maxon R. Wheeler, William N. Camp, II, Lien T. Mamitsuka, Christopher A. Mitra, Scott I. Putterman, Paul W. Hangas, Xin Hu, Sapna Sawhney, Tony Robinson, Heather M. LeRoy, Christopher Rypinski
