Patent number: 9225839Abstract: A system and method for reestablishing a voice communications session moderated by a group call server between two or more telephony devices. The method is performed by a processor monitoring the communications session. The method comprises: storing one or more data records representing group call information; detecting disconnection of at least one participating telephony device from the group communications session, and determining that the disconnection was not intentionally initiated; accessing the stored call group information data and causing signals to enable reestablishment of participation by the disconnected device to be sent to the disconnected device; and upon receipt by the group call server from the disconnected device of signals representing a request to reconnect the disconnected device, outputting command signals for reestablishing a communications session between the disconnected device and at least one other device participating in the group communications session.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2014Date of Patent: December 29, 2015Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Douglas Gisby, Christopher Labrador, Brian Oliver, Susie Simon-Daniels, Adrian Logan, Eric Fritzley, Brian McColgan

Patent number: 9185229Abstract: In a computer-implemented method of joining a user to a conference call event an interface associated with a time management software application is displayed. The interface displays information relating to the conference call event including a date for a conference call which is subject of the conference call event and a start time of the conference call. While displaying the interface, a menu offering one or more options is displayed; these one or more options include an option to join the conference call. When an indication of a selection of the option to join the conference call is received, information associated with the conference call is located; this information includes a telephone number for a conference call bridge. A connection with the conference call bridge using the telephone number is initiated.Type: GrantFiled: July 22, 2014Date of Patent: November 10, 2015Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Adrian Logan, Rohit Jain, Eric Fritzley, Christopher Labrador, Michael McAndrews

Publication number: 20100211911Abstract: In a computer-implemented method of altering an interface, an interface associated with an application having time-dependent events is displayed. The interface displays at least one activatable component. At a pre-set time relative to a time for one of said time-dependent events, the interface is altered to add an added activatable component, or to set a pre-determined one of the activatable components of the interface as a selected component.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 26, 2009Publication date: August 19, 2010Inventors: Adrian Logan, Rohit Jain, Eric Fritzley
