Publication number: 20130325839Abstract: A global single search system that returns relevant search results for a user search query by identifying user intent and context implied therein. The system supports POI and address searches initiated from a single search box global only. Search query data is input in a single search box on a single search client to initiate a search for an arbitrary piece of data. Meta-data concerning a nature of a search is not provided to the single search system. A search servlet uses an ordered series of filter methods to extract specific aspects of user intent from a freeform search query, and accumulate intent information within a context shared by all filters. The system determines a data corpus to search based on context provided in a user search query. Relevant search results are returned to the single search client in a search response. The global single search system supports global markets.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2013Publication date: December 5, 2013Inventors: Mark Goddard, Brant Clark, Diego Kaplan, Naresh Kumar Ganapathy, Ivan Yang

Patent number: 8479180Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method for maintaining software instructions stored in a wireless communications device memory. The software is organized using code sections, where each code section is in a contiguous portion of memory and relocatable independently of other code sections. Maintenance includes the ability to run a unique software component called a compactor while the normal system is not in executable form. The compactor expands, compresses, and relocates code sections to allow downloaded code to be incorporated into the system code base.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2006Date of Patent: July 2, 2013Assignee: KYOCERA CorporationInventors: Gowri Rajaram, Diego Kaplan

Patent number: 8433305Abstract: A communication system is provided that enables automated retrieval of caller ID picture information and association with contact information, while still allowing security control over information or images that are sent to the requesting device. The communication system has a wireless device communicating with a picture server. The wireless device receives an incoming call with caller ID information, and determines if a picture is locally stored for the caller. If no picture is locally stored for the caller, then a request is made to retrieve a picture from the picture server. If the picture server has the requested picture, and the wireless device is authorized to receive the picture, then the picture is downloaded to the wireless device, where the picture is associated with contact information for the caller. The picture of the caller will then be automatically displayed when the caller places future calls.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2012Date of Patent: April 30, 2013Assignee: KYOCERA CorporationInventors: Diego Kaplan, Jun Han

Patent number: 8068819Abstract: One way to deliver increased wireless communication device performance without using a higher performance processor is to offload processor functions in a wireless communications device. In one example a wireless device selects a processor function to be performed for the wireless device and evaluates the selected processor function to determine whether to offload the processor function. If it is determined that the processor function can be offloaded the wireless device transmits a wireless request to a remote processor to perform the offload processor function. After performing the processor function at the remote processor and generating a result the wireless device receives the result.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2005Date of Patent: November 29, 2011Assignee: Kyocera CorporationInventors: Steven Haehnichen, Diego Kaplan

Patent number: 7761511Abstract: A system and a method are provided for optimal Short Message System (SMS) encoding in a wireless communications device having SMS capabilities. The system includes an optimizing subsystem and an encoding subsystem. The optimizing subsystem accepts an SMS message, identification of available encoding formats, and information regarding wireless device resource encoding requirements, such as memory usage, for the available encoding formats. The optimizing subsystem evaluates the characters in the SMS message to identify which of the available encoding formats are usable for encoding the characters, determines a memory usage requirement, and selects, as the optimal encoding format, the usable encoding format having the lowest memory usage. The optimizing subsystem supplies an optimizing signal identifying the optimal encoding format. The encoding subsystem accepts the SMS message and the optimizing signal, and encodes the message in the optimal encoding format.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2002Date of Patent: July 20, 2010Assignee: Kyocera CorporationInventor: Diego Kaplan
