Abstract: A communication management system (48) for personalized mobility management of wireless services includes at least one wireless communication device (36), a mobility aware content server (50), and a wireless communication system (10). The mobility aware content server (50) sends a location specific content (60) to the wireless communication system (10) in response to a current location (62), a movement speed (64), and a movement direction (66) of the wireless communication device (36). The wireless communication system (10) is coupled to the mobility aware content server (50), and, upon receipt of the location specific content (60) from the mobility aware content server (50), transmits the location specific content (60) to the wireless communication device (36).

Abstract: An updateable message encoder/transmitter (100) has a processor (109) for encoding messages and message updates. A message includes an origination time (191), a version number (410) and an update lifetime indicator (424), and a message update includes the origination time (191) and the version number. A transmitter (120) broadcasts the message and the message update message receiver/decoder (130) receives the message and the message update, a processor (212) processes the message to determine when the message update is being received. The processor checks the update lifetime indicator of the message indicated by the message update to determine if the message to which the message update is intended can be updated. A comparator compares the origination time of the message with the origination time of the message update to determine if the message update is an out-of-sequence message update.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for increasing efficiency in displaying characters on a display within the data processing system. A plurality of processes for displaying characters on the display in a data processing system are provided. Each of the processes requires a different amount of processor resources to display characters on the display. One of the processes is selected such that the selected process provides a more efficient display of characters on the display than other processes. Characters may be displayed by caching font data in system memory of the data processing system. Glyph bitmaps for a particular character may be moved from the cache to a graphics adapter utilizing a permanent move instruction available in the CPU. Characters are moved to the graphics adapter on a fixed scanline basis, either encompassing the entire width of the character or the entire string of characters on a line.
