Patent number: 9360965Abstract: Methods and systems according to one or more embodiments are provided for combining touch inputs and offset non-touch gestures. In an embodiment, a method includes concurrently capturing touch input data on a screen of a user device and non-touch gesture input data, the non-touch gesture input data being indicative of a gesture performed in an area offset from the screen of the user device to inhibit obstruction of a user's view of the screen. The method also includes determining an input command based at least in part on a combination of the concurrently captured touch input data and the non-touch gesture input data. In addition, the method further includes affecting an operation of the user device based on the determined input command.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2015Date of Patent: June 7, 2016Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Darrell Krulce, Francis Bernard MacDougall, Virginia Walker Keating, Andrew Everitt

Publication number: 20140324504Abstract: An apparatus adapted to operate as an A party in a database synchronization with a B party via a mobile communication network. The database contains data items to be synchronized. The apparatus includes mechanisms for maintaining a copy of the database and a client-server communication module with a client part and a server part. The client part is configured to communicate via the mobile communication network with the server part of the B party. The apparatus also includes change detection mechanisms responsive to a detection of a changed data item, for initiating a synchronization event via the client part of the client-server communication module.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2013Publication date: October 30, 2014Applicant: SEVEN NETWORKS INTERNATIONAL OYInventors: Ari Backholm, Seppo Salorinne, Heikki Ylinen, Marcus Groeber, Lauri Vuornos, Rauli Ikonen, Jukka Ahonen, Andrew Everitt, Allan Mcleod, Petri Salmi

Patent number: 8761756Abstract: A method for IP communication between a mobile terminal and its correspondent node in a mobile radio network. The method comprises establishing (202) an IP connection between the mobile terminal and its correspondent node. After detecting a period of inactivity in the IP connection, (204) keep-alive messages are sent via the IP connection at predetermined intervals, which are varied. The method comprises monitoring (206) the lengths of several periods of inactivity at which the mobile radio network disconnects the IP connection. Based on the monitored lengths of periods of inactivity, a maximum interval (TINT) between keep-alive messages is determined (208) such that the maximum interval meets a predetermined criterion of statistical confidence, and the interval between keep-alive messages is set (210) to the maximum interval (TINT).Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2012Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Seven Networks International OYInventors: Ari Backholm, Seppo Salorinne, Jukka Ahonen, Mikko Daavittila, Andrew Everitt, Lauri Vuornos

Patent number: 8731542Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamic adjustment of keep-alive message intervals in a mobile network are disclosed. One embodiment of maintaining an IP connection between a mobile terminal and a network node over a network includes, detecting a rate with which the client-slide request are made from the mobile terminal, detecting a rate with which the client-slide request are made from the mobile terminal, sending, by the network node, keep-alive messages to the mobile terminal in an absence of network traffic through the IP connection between the mobile terminal and the network node, and/or further optimizing the time intervals between the keep-alive messages based on a cost to send the keep-alive messages in the network.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2011Date of Patent: May 20, 2014Assignee: Seven Networks International OyInventors: Mikko Tervahauta, Ari Backholm, Seppo Salorinne, Jukka Ahonen, Mikko Daavittila, Andrew Everitt, Lauri Vuornos

Patent number: 8285200Abstract: A method for IP [=Internet Protocol] communication between a mobile terminal and its correspondent node in a mobile radio network. The method comprises establishing (2-2) an IP connection between the mobile terminal and its correspondent node. After detecting a period of inactivity in the IP connection, (2-4) keep-alive messages are sent via the IP connection at predetermined intervals, which are varied. The method comprises monitoring (2-6) the lengths of several periods of inactivity at which the mobile radio network disconnects the IP connection. Based on the monitored lengths of periods of inactivity, a maximum interval (TINT) between keep-alive messages is determined (2-8) such that the maximum interval meets a predetermined criterion of statistical confidence, and the interval between keep-alive messages is set (2-1) to the maximum interval (TINT).Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2010Date of Patent: October 9, 2012Assignee: Seven Networks International OyInventors: Ari Backholm, Seppo Salorinne, Jukka Ahonen, Mikko Daavittila, Andrew Everitt, Lauri Vuornos
