Abstract: An electronic mail server, computer-readable medium and method of delivering an electronic message to a wireless communication device are provided. The wireless communications device comprises a long-range wireless transceiver, a short-range wireless transceiver having a range less than the long-range wireless transceiver, and a display screen. A new text message is received via the long-range wireless transceiver. Based upon a short-range wireless connection being established with another device via the short-range wireless transceiver, the wireless communication device is switched to an audio message mode. An indication that the new text message has been received is displayed on the display screen. The new message is selected and, when in the audio message mode, an audio message comprising speech generated based upon the new text message is output via the short-range wireless transceiver.

Abstract: A method for determining the quality of a media stream of a computer network including: receiving a packet from a traffic flow; determining whether the packet relates to a media stream; if the packet is related to the media stream, simulating a content player buffer related to the media stream; reviewing further data chunks associated with the media stream to determine quality events affecting the media stream; analyzing the effect of the quality event on a subscriber viewing the quality event; and determining a Quality of Experience score related to the media stream; otherwise allowing the packet to continue to the subscriber without further analysis. A system for determining the quality of a media stream, the system including modules configured to carry out the method for determining the quality of the media stream.

Abstract: An electronic mail server, computer-readable medium and method of delivering an electronic message to a wireless communication device are provided. An electronic text message for delivery to a wireless communication device is received. When the wireless communication device is determined to be in an audio message mode, an audio message comprising speech generated from the received electronic text message is delivered to the wireless communication device. The wireless communication device may be determined to be in an audio message when an audio message filter parameter received from the wireless communication device corresponds to the electronic text message. The audio message filter parameter may be based upon a sender's identity. The electronic text message is converted to the audio message by sending a conversion request for the electronic text message to a text-to-speech conversion server and receiving the audio message from the text-to-speech server.

Abstract: A method of composing an email message at an electronic device and an electronic device operable to carry out the method are provided. The method includes receiving an email command from a user input of the electronic device through a calendar user interface, the email command relating to at least one of a plurality of intended attendees of a calendared meeting, and providing an email composition interface in response to receiving the email command. The email composition interface includes a user-editable portion of an address field. The user-editable portion of the address field is automatically populated with email address information for the at least one of the plurality of intended attendees.

Abstract: An event providing apparatus includes a storage device in communicating with a date/time detector module. The detector module detects a condition that at least a portion of information stored on the storage device could be mapped to an event, identifies date and time entries in the information, and generates a hyperlink to open an application for creating an event for each entry, the date and time being provided to the application to generate the event directly from the information. The apparatus also includes a display for displaying the time and date in the form of the hyperlink; and a prompter module communicating with the detector module for automatically providing a prompt related to the event in response to selection of the hyperlink. In response to user interaction with the user prompt, the application is started and the event based on the hyperlinked date and time is created.

Abstract: A client device configured to access a remote device via a communication network. The client device is configured to: a) detect a termination of a network connection to the remote device and b) in response to detecting the termination of the network connection, record an idle time duration associated with the network. The client device repeats a) and b) until a plurality of idle time durations have been recorded. The client device then determines from the plurality of idle time durations a timeout value associated with the network and sets a transmission period of a keep-alive signal transmitted from the client device to the remote device based on the determined timeout value. The client device transmits the determined timeout value and information identifying the network to a timeout value server that may be accessed by other client devices.
