  • Publication number: 20200081895
    Abstract: A content manager is described which offers a facility to a user to display, review and rate content items. Content items are assigned prioritization scores, influencing the manner in which those content items are organised. Prioritization scores are themselves determined on the basis of information inherent to a content item, such as the specification of the content item or associated descriptive data, and information provided by a user, such as by gestures or other input techniques, indicative of interest in that content item by that user. These prioritization scores are in turn used to rank content and reduce the memory, bandwidth, processing power and screen real estate used to present content to users.

  • Patent number: 10524091
    Abstract: Communicating location information for a first user of a first communication client from a first user terminal over a communications system to a second user terminal is described. A second communication client executed by the second user terminal displays a list of contacts associated with a second user of the second communication client that comprises a first contact representing the first user. The first user terminal determines a location of the first user and stores the determined location in a store of the first user terminal. The first communication client reads the stored location from the store. The first communication client further generates a message comprising a visual indication of the location read from the store and transmits the message to the second user terminal. The visual indication of the location is displayed on the second user terminal in the contact list in association with the first contact.

  • Publication number: 20090262727
    Abstract: A method of initiating a call from a device executing a client program via an access network is provided. The method comprises providing a network node with information associated with the device, receiving from the network node an indication of whether at least one access number for accessing the access network is available, wherein the availability of the access number is based on the information associated with the device, and selectively enabling an input means to receive a selection signal from a user of said device to initiate the call using the access number, wherein the input means is only enabled if it is indicated that the access number is available.
