Abstract: A method and system for integrated personal content access have been disclosed. The system includes a gateway which is able to communicate across devices, coordinating media content distribution among the devices and users. The gateway can seamlessly switch or copy content streams from one device to another, even if the devices use different formats or protocols. Tags can be used for adding embellishments to content on the fly for viewing by the user or by others. Tokens for indicating the identity and source of content, along with a location within the content, can also be used when sharing content or when switching content viewing between devices. Additionally, a network of gateways is possible, where content may be shared between devices connected to different gateways.

Abstract: A method and system for integrated personal content access have been disclosed. The system includes a gateway which provides simulated multimedia streams by extracting digital content from a web site, converting the digital content to a simulated video stream, and sending the simulated video stream to a target display device. Neither the web site nor the target display device need to change to provide this feature. The gateway is further able to provide a shadow download feature, where if a user downloads content, the user also has access to other resolutions or formats of the same content via the gateway for his various devices. When the gateway receives a request to access the content, it obtains identifiers for the user's devices, and determines a format corresponding to each of the devices. The gateway retrieves the content for each device in their respective formats and forwards them to the respective device.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for providing a notification of a received message when the user may not have received the initial alert. An auto notification feature is provided, such that if the apparatus upon receiving a message detects no movement, then an additional alert is provided upon the apparatus detecting a movement. Also, if the user has not acknowledged the receipt of a message, then the most efficient method of providing alert is used for all the subsequent messages received.

Abstract: Apparatus, method and computer products are provided for remote network access and management of mobile terminals. The mobile terminal executes a web server application that allows remote network devices to access the mobile terminal. In addition, the mobile device executes a content engine that provides the ability to access databases, services and devices associated with the mobile terminal. The invention provides greater flexibility in accessing and managing the data stored on the mobile terminal and provides for remote control of the services and devices associated with the mobile terminal.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for editing phone numbers stored in an electronic book of an electronic device. A phonebook editor is provided for modifying a portion, such as an area code, of one or more phone numbers stored in the electronic phonebook. By providing a change criterion, an old area code and a new area code, all the phone numbers stored in the electronic phonebook matching the change criterion having the old area code can be modified to the new area code.

Abstract: The present invention encompasses an electronic device operated in a communication system (for example CDMA, TDMA, GSM, etc.). The electronic device receiving location information from external resources. The electronic device uses the location information to determine the current location. Upon determining current location, the electronic device modifies the operations of the electronic device based on the current location, for example, turning off transmitting operations in a hospital zone.

Abstract: The present invention encompasses an electronic device operated in a communication system (for example CDMA, TDMA, GSM, etc.). The electronic device comprises a method that adjusts a dialing sequence, used to initiate a call, based on the current location of the electronic device. The method adjusts the dialing sequence to add any missing information, such an area code, country code, etc., thereby allowing the user to only provide a minimum length of dialing sequence when placing a call to a called party. Also, if the dialing sequence is represents one of the emergency numbers, then the method adjust the dialing sequence to use an emergency number used within a region defined by the current location.
