Abstract: The disclosure is directed to operating a first device configured to communicate with one or more other devices. An aspect discovers the one or more other devices, wherein the first device and the one or more other devices form a device network, monitors one or more conditions associated with the device network to identify a triggering condition that occurs within the device network, wherein the triggering condition is associated with one or more actions to be performed by the device network, detects an occurrence of the triggering condition, and in response, performs an action associated with the triggering condition.

Abstract: The disclosure is directed to providing device interaction recommendations based on past interactions between devices in networks with similar network configurations. An aspect receives first network configuration information and device interaction history information associated with a first device network, the first device network comprising a first plurality of devices, wherein the first network configuration information comprises capability information of each of the first plurality of devices, and wherein the interaction history information comprises a history of interactions among the first plurality of devices, generates a set of interaction recommendations based on the first network configuration information and the device interaction history information, identifies a second device network comprising a second plurality of devices and having second network configuration information, and sends the set of interaction recommendations to the second device network.

Abstract: The various embodiments support athletic training by using a series of real-time positions transmitted by an electronic training device to a server to identify a training segment including at least a portion of the series of positions, transmit training information related to the identified training segment to the electronic training device, and display the training information at the electronic training device. In an embodiment, a string of segments from a current location of the electronic device may be identified based on a previous route and training information related to the string of segments may be transmitted to the electronic training device and displayed at the electronic device. In the various embodiments, training information may include information related to the performance of other individuals over a segment and/or string of segments and a navigation indication identifying a direction of a segment and/or string of segments.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a UE determines to load a web page via a mobile browsing application on the UE. The UE obtains, from a web server, web page resource information for loading the web page on the UE. The UE loads the web page using the web page resource information and identifies one or more hints for assisting one or more mobile browsing applications on at least one other UE to perform an initial load of the web page, which the UE then reports to a hints server. The hints server collects hints from the UE as well as other UEs, evaluates their relevance and generates and/or updates a crowd-sourced hints list based on their perceived relevance. The hints server provides the crowd-sourced hints list to a target UE, and the target UE uses the crowd-sourced hints list to load the web page.

Abstract: In an embodiment, data scheduled for transmission by an apparatus is determined to include multiple elements with (i) a first portion of substantially non-redundant information and (ii) a second portion with information that is redundant to each of the multiple elements. The apparatus generates a composite representation of the redundant information, and transmits the composite representation of the redundant information to a recipient. The recipient determines reconstruction information by which the composite representation of the redundant information can be used in conjunction with the first portions of the substantially non-redundant information to reconstruct the multiple elements. After obtaining the first portions of the substantially non-redundant information, the recipient reconstructs the multiple elements based on the first portions of the substantially non-redundant information, the reconstruction information and the composite representation of the redundant information.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a proxy server delivers, to a UE, a set of rules to be enforced by a management application executing thereon. The set of rules includes at least one rule that instructs the management application to selectively intercept and apply data payload modifications to data being exchanged being a transport layer stack (e.g., a TCP/IP stack) and one or more client applications on the UE based on (i) a packet-state related to a data payload of the data (ii) a device-state associated with the UE, (iii) an application-state associated with an application from which the data originates or to which the data is targeted and/or (iv) a network-state associated with a serving network of the UE. The management application on the UE can enforce the set of rules for UE-terminated data (e.g., data downloaded to the UE) or UE-originated data (e.g., data to be uploaded from the UE).

Abstract: A system and method for achieving or assisting dynamic transfer of call support information across a network including at least a wireless portion coupled to a wireless communication device. The call support information providing the wireless communication device with updated caller identification and status or presence information by way of a service or server provisioned product and method.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for billing a user associated with a mobile service for a VoIP call made by the user using a wireless local area network are disclosed The VOIP call can be received by a local area network. At least a portion of the VoIP call is decoded to obtain session information related to the VoIP call including information identifying the user. The VoIP call is coupled to a public data network. At least a portion of the session information is sent to a provider of the mobile service, to bill the user, and not an owner of the wireless local area network, for the VoIP call. A credit is initiated to an account associated with said owner of the wireless local area network to prevent the owner from incurring charges associated with the VoIP call.

Abstract: A system and method for achieving or assisting dynamic transfer of call support information across a network including at least a wireless portion coupled to a wireless communication device. The call support information providing the wireless communication device with updated caller identification and status or presence information by way of a service or server provisioned product and method.

Abstract: A method for billing a subscriber to a cellular telephone service for a VoIP call made by the subscriber, the method including determining when a subscriber to a cellular telephone service places a telephone call to a remote device using a local device associated with the subscription, where the telephone call has at least one VoIP call leg, capturing session information related to the telephone call, including information identifying the subscriber, and providing the information to a provider of the cellular telephone service, thereby enabling the cellular telephone service provider to bill the subscriber for the VoIP call.

Abstract: A system and method for providing conference calls in a client-server environment is described. In some aspects, conference calling is made possible and efficient for mobile users, including mobile hosts of the conference call who may arrange and set up the conference call easily from a mobile device with the assistance of an application server and/or a call conference server. Also, other mobile users may easily participate in such conference calls from their mobile devices.
