Abstract: The present invention discloses methods and systems for selecting at least one SIM card for data communication at a wireless communication device which is capable of housing a plurality of SIM cards. When a switching condition is satisfied, the wireless communication device selects a second SIM card group, and disconnects one or more connections established using any non-second group SIM card. Non-second group SIM cards are SIM cards that are not in the second SIM card group. A selected SIM card from the second SIM card group is then used for data communications. The steps are repeated until (i) the switching condition is no longer satisfied, (ii) no more SIM cards selected from the second SIM card group can be used for data communications or (iii) no more connection is made using non-second group SIM cards.

Abstract: This disclosure pertains to systems and methods that may be used to increase the information content of a mobile device so as to locate, track, or determine the behavior of a mobile device and/or the user of the mobile device. Separate pieces of information (information snippets) may be aggregated over time to form information linkages. The snippets and linkages may be associated with a time stamp and/or a time frame. The snippets and linkages may be associated with a probability value which may be updated as more information is acquired. The snippets and linkages may be aggregated with, for example a building floor plan to provide more complete informational description of the mobile device and/or the behavior of the user of the mobile device (information map).

More specifically, the system initiates a communication between a network endpoint associated with a call mediator and at least a second network endpoint; records, at the call mediator, information associated with the communication; and upon termination of the communication, communicates, from the call mediator to an enterprise gatekeeper, the information associated with the communication.

Abstract: A wireless communication method, apparatus and system are provided. A processing center determines coverages of at least two access end devices; determines a location of a user equipment, which accesses a target service via a first access end device in the at least two access end devices; determines that the user equipment is capable of accessing the target service via a second access end device according to the location of the user equipment and a coverage of the second access end device; and sends indication information used for indicating that the user equipment accesses the target service via the second access end device to the user equipment.

Abstract: To automatically identify an attempt at presenting falsified vehicle identifiers to portable devices, (i) a vehicle identifier reported by a vehicle with which the portable device is establishing a short-range communication link, and (ii) an indication of a current location of the portable device, are received from a portable device at a first time. An indication of a recent location at which the vehicle identifier was reported at a second time is obtained. The current location of the portable device is compared to the recent location of the vehicle, in view of the first time and the second time. In response to determining that the current location is not proximate to the recent reported location of the vehicle, an indication that the reported identifier is likely falsified is generated.

Abstract: A generic software application may be dynamically branded in response to communication with a baseband management controller. Servers and other information handling systems may be remotely or locally managed using the generic software application. The generic software application provides an interface to the baseboard management controller. The baseboard management controller locally stores one or more branding files associated with a brand identity. Once the communication is established, the baseboard management controller sends the branding files to a device executing the generic software application. The branding files may then be incorporated into the interface provided by the generic software application. The interface may thus assume the brand identity associated with the baseband management controller. When management of the baseband management controller is completed, the communication terminates and the branding files may be discarded.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide approaches for communicating availability of a mobile device. Specifically, at least one approach includes: determining a current status of a mobile device operated by a receiving user, the current status including an operating state and an operating time zone; and providing the current status of the mobile device to a sender via the sender's mobile device by performing either of the following: annotating a contact list with visual data indicating the operating state and the operating time zone of the mobile device, and generating a graphic indicating the operating state and the operating time zone of the mobile device when the sender initiates communication with the mobile device. Based on the current status, a warning can be communicated to the sender indicating that is inadvisable to continue with the communication, as the receiving user is unlikely to be available and/or willing to respond.

Abstract: A tracking system can provide intervention notifications to a user to notify the user that a tracking device is potentially lost or is in a predicted state.

Abstract: Determining a location of a user equipment (UE) based on historical location data and historical sector transition data is disclosed. A correlation between historic location information and a historic sector transition can be determined. The correlation can be stored in a searchable data set. A location of a current UE can be inferred based on a sector transition of the current UE. The sector transition of the current UE can be searched against eh data set to indicate a likely location of the current UE based on historical information. The searchable data set can be based on sparse location data enabling location determinations for a current UE that can otherwise lack location services. Moreover, an order of a sector transition can imbue a directionality to stored location information such that a likely location in a sector can be correlated to a transition from a prior sector of a network session of the UE.
