  • Patent number: 11954301
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes causing a first one of a plurality of digital photographs to be displayed on a video display device. Responsive to receiving an indication that a user desires to digitally link the first digital photograph with another one of the plurality of photographs, the method includes prompting the user to select one of the plurality of digital photographs to be digitally linked to the first digital photograph. Responsive to the user selecting a second one of the plurality of digital photographs, the method includes digitally linking the first digital photograph with the second digital photograph. The method includes causing the first digital photograph to be displayed with a user-selectable flipping element. Responsive to receiving a selection of the displayed user-selectable flipping element, the method includes causing the first digital photograph to be digitally flipped such that the second digital photograph is displayed on the video display device.

  • Patent number: 8335503
    Abstract: In an idle state transition from a macro mobile network to a femtocell, a mobile station looks for the femtocell to operate in a frequency band typically assigned to a macro network. For normal macro network operations, mobile stations look for base stations operating on various channels, e.g. based on hashing of respective mobile station identifiers. Femtocells generate a pilot beacon on a carrier frequency to enable mobile station acquisition, e.g. to redirect a mobile station to the operating frequency of the femtocell. To avoid the need to continually cycle or hop through all possible macro assigned carrier frequencies, pilot beacon transmissions of a particular femtocell are prioritized to correspond to the mobile station(s) expected to utilize that femtocell, e.g. by using existing network information, provisioning device information or self learning/calculating information regarding the carrier most likely to be used by any particular mobile station expected to use the femtocell.
