Patent number: 9781540Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, and computer program products are described for using context-aware recommendation techniques to facilitate content discovery on a mobile device platform. In particular, the context-aware recommendation techniques evaluate both a current device context and a social context to generate application relevance scores for each of a number of applications downloaded to a mobile device. Application representations on a graphical user interface (GUI) of the mobile device are rearranged, resized, and/or otherwise affected according to their respective application relevance scores. In certain configurations, one or more applications are pinned, thereby altering (e.g., reducing or eliminating) how changes in their respective application relevance scores affect display of their respective application representations on the GUI of the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2011Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Padmapriya Jagannathan, Jill S. Iwasaki, Pooja Aggarwal, Bennett M. King, Devarshi P. Shah, Roger M. Ruuspakka

Patent number: 9497495Abstract: A venue-cast system and method for providing and receiving venue level transmissions and services, including discovery of a venue specific transmission by receiving an overhead signal from a non-venue network, extracting information for receiving the venue specific transmission from the overhead signal, and tuning to receive the venue specific transmission based on the extracted information. The venue level transmission may be provided and received in a manner that does not prevent an access terminal from receiving a local area or wide area transmission.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2013Date of Patent: November 15, 2016Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Raghuraman Krishnamoorthi, Pankaj V. Rahate, Pankaj Jain, Devarshi P. Shah, Pavel A. Seliverstov, George A. Rothrock, Nilabh Khare, Anil K. Wadhwani, Jiming Guo, Sanjiv Nanda, Fuyun Ling, Murali R. Chari, Avneesh Agrawal, Rinat Burdo, Prasanna Kannan, Krishna K. Mukkavilli, Reynaldo W. Newman, Michael M. Fan, Manoj M. Deshpande, Ranjith S. Jayaram

Patent number: 9230240Abstract: A method of determining a communications contact relevance for a user includes: analyzing stored contact information of a plurality of contacts with which the user can at least one of receive information from or transmit information to; analyzing context information relevant to likelihoods of imminent communication by the user with the contacts, the context information including information different from ones of the contacts with which the user most recently communicated, the context information further including present user context information and at least one of present context or historical context associated with each of the contacts, respectively; and determining the likelihoods of imminent communication between the user and the contacts based on the context information.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2011Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Jill S. Iwasaki, Bennett M. King, Devarshi P. Shah, Padmapriya Jagannathan, Pooja Aggarwal, Roger M. Ruuspakka

Patent number: 8712390Abstract: Techniques for providing a smart dial controller for enhancing a telephone voice call using a data connection. In an exemplary embodiment, a dial controller may be provided in a calling device for calling another user, and/or a called device for receiving a call from another user. Techniques are provided for both the calling device and the called device to access a content server storing profiles of the calling user and/or the called user, subject to user-determined privacy settings. Such profiles may include, e.g., multi-media information on the status, location, or preferences of the users. In an exemplary embodiment, the dial controller may delay the establishment of a voice connection pending user review and approval of the other user's profile. According to an advantage of the present disclosure, no modifications are required on the network side to implement the techniques described herein.Type: GrantFiled: April 8, 2010Date of Patent: April 29, 2014Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Devarshi P. Shah, Patrik N. Lundqvist

Patent number: 8374114Abstract: Embodiment methods and systems enable a broadcast network, such as a MediaFLO network, to maintain the presentation quality of video data received from content providers when transforming it to a format suitable for broadcasting to mobile devices. Methods enable encoding of H.264 frames received from a third-party encoder into superframes for broadcast over MediaFLO FLO TV®. The methods group individual image frames together into superframes for broadcast, making allowances for frames which are supposed to be decoded in one second but presented or displayed in a subsequent second. The various embodiments ensure that image frames are group together into superframe so that frames that are supposed to be presented together in the same second are displayed together and so that frames that are dependent on those frames for decoding are not put ahead of the frames from which they depend.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2010Date of Patent: February 12, 2013Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Zhiheng Mao, Jason A. Reich, Ethan M. Idenmill, Devarshi P. Shah, Scott T. Swazey
