Abstract: A wireless communication device (WCD) tags records, such as documents or graphic files, with universal identity metatags (UIMs). The UIMs may associate many disconnected pieces of information. A WCD may automatically extract information from a record to generate a UIM or may extract information from in-proximity WCDs that are identified during a discovery process. A WCD may extract information from a calendar application to generate a UIM. A WCD may also retrieve a record related to an upcoming meeting, for example, from a separate device, such as the user's computer, based on information from a calendar application. A WCD may also use the UIM to identify and retrieve related records on in-proximity WCDs as well as provide records to an in-proximity WCD requesting a record.

Abstract: A device that may be part of a wireless network may support a service that may adjust the presentation of client image data on a display. Client image data may be adjusted for display on either the entire display screen or a portion thereof.

Abstract: A mobile communication device includes a token repository for securely storing one or more tokens. The tokens are electronic or software objects that may represent, for example, coupons, tickets, electronic money, a membership card, an identification card, a doctor's appointment or a meeting. A token may be purchased from a token issuer or may be received for free. Tokens may be received automatically in accordance with a policy manger of the device. A token is checked-in over a secure communication link established with the token issuer. At the time of use, the token may be checked-out over a secure communication link established with a token processor. The device includes a communication interface to establish the secure communication links with token issuers and token processors in accordance with one or more wireless communication techniques. The device may also include a security processor to enforce and implement security requirements of checking in, storing and checking out tokens.

Abstract: A wireless device resource sharer (WDRS) proxies incompatible communications between wireless devices. A wireless network may be formed allowing both compatible and incompatible wireless devices to communicate therebetween. The WDRS allows incompatible wireless devices to appear as compatible devices. In this way, the WDRS may be “invisible” to such devices allowing the wireless devices to be part of a network of “compatible” devices. The WDRS includes physical interfaces to communicate with compatible and incompatible wireless devices in accordance with various wireless network physical layers. The WDRS also includes a proxy server to proxy incompatible network application layer protocols between wireless devices. The WDRS may also share storage and processing resources with wireless devices. A policy manager within a wireless device regulates resource sharing with other devices.

Abstract: A scalable migration of resources between devices in a wireless personal area network is described. According to one embodiment of the invention, a local device using a local resource detects an event on a wireless personal area network. The use of the resource is then migrated to a remote device based on a policy rule associated with the event.
