Patent number: 10558475Abstract: A method for dynamically localizing content of a graphical user interface widget executed on a widget runtime model of a computing platform on a user device includes configuring the graphical user interface widget to provide first location-responsive content in a presentation runtime model by defaulting to a static geographic location, wherein the graphical user interface widget provides the first location-responsive content based on the static geographic location, receiving a configuration setting to configure the graphical user interface widget for a localized mode, retrieving a geographic location for the user device, and providing the retrieved geographic location to the widget runtime model for the graphical user interface widget to select second location-responsive content, wherein the graphical user interface widget switches to provide the second location-responsive content based on the retrieved geographic location.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2017Date of Patent: February 11, 2020Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Mark Leslie Caunter, Bruce Kelly Jackson, Steven Richard Geach

Patent number: 9680949Abstract: A personal media system implemented as a tuple service allows remote access, selection, authorization, and transmission of personal media stored in a collection on a home network across a network to a guest network. A mobile client device enables browsing/searching for content, shows media players within a domain, finds a media player within a domain for a given media type, gets a media object, and renders a media object on a given media player within a domain. Each gateway has an agent that registers to the server and responds to commands from the server. The server acts as a hub for moving digital content objects between domains, provides media services on behalf of domains (e.g., transcoding, proxy streaming, etc.), provides a web interface to mobile client devices for control over user domains, sends commands to the personal media agents, and creates an accessible set of domains for a user.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2015Date of Patent: June 13, 2017Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Mark Leslie Caunter, Bruce Kelly Jackson, Steven Geach

Patent number: 8930531Abstract: A persistent personal messaging system provides shared memory space functionality supporting a user changing between a plurality of client devices, even within a loosely coupled, distributed system for persistent personal messaging. A user, irrespective of which messaging client they are using, logs on to the system. The act of logging on places user data, representing the user, into the shared memory space. A “contacts” service agent finds the friends and groups that the user belongs to and notifies other users that the user has logged on. Given the on-line status of other users and groups, a “history” service agent will retrieve previous messages from the shared memory space that formed the user's conversations with users and groups, as if the user had never logged off or switched devices. When the user adds a new message to any conversation, the message is added to the shared memory space.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2011Date of Patent: January 6, 2015Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Mark Leslie Caunter, Bruce Kelly Jackson, Steven Geach

Publication number: 20130304922Abstract: Methods and devices enable a device located on a source network to appear as a virtual device on a target network. Agent applications running on computers on the source and target networks communicate over a peer-to-peer network enabled by a super-peer networking server on the Internet. To share a device, the target network agent requests the source network agent to provide access to a device in the source network. The source network agent sends the device name, properties, and service template information to the target network agent. The target network agent uses the received information to announce itself as the device to the target network. Devices on the target network may request device services from the target network agent. Such requests are repackaged by the target network agent and sent to the source network agent. The source network agent redirects the service request to the actual device.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 18, 2013Publication date: November 14, 2013Inventors: Bruce Kelly Jackson, Mark Leslie Caunter, Steven Richard Geach

Publication number: 20090319385Abstract: An operator provides services to a population of client device, such as mobile communication devices, including search services accessed via an operator portal. A search gateway places a search object, in which user privacy is protected, into a distributed, transactional object (tuple) space. Resolvers monitoring the space read the search descriptors and coordinate an external search to be performed with result objects placed back in the space. The gateway removes the search result objects from the space, matching them with the user search for reporting to a user of the client device. Thereby, an increased amount of content is accessible across a distributed system.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 18, 2008Publication date: December 24, 2009Inventors: Bruce Kelly JACKSON, Mark Leslie CAUNTER, Steven GEACH

Publication number: 20090063423Abstract: A service object user interface responds to a number of different types of client devices, especially handheld communication devices, by providing tuple space interface attributes in a service tuple. Thereby, dynamically changing services (e.g., search engines, online shopping, media content selection, etc.) and a population of client devices can be accommodated even within a loosely coupled, distributed system. By facilitating interfacing within tuple space, inconvenient configuring at the client device is avoided, expanding computer platform independence to encompass alternative user interfaces based upon JAVA™ classes, uiOne™ trigs, FLASH multimedia, and/or other evolving protocols.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 18, 2008Publication date: March 5, 2009Inventors: Bruce Kelly JACKSON, Mark Leslie CAUNTER, Steven GEACH
