Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for sharing a media content displayed in a window of the touch input interface of a first electronic device with at least one second electronic device. The first electronic device includes a processor controlling the touch input interface. The method is carried out by the processor and includes the acts of enabling displacement of the window in response to capturing a first touch input indicative of an initiation of a transfer, capturing a continuous touch input across the interface from an initial position in the window, displacing the window with each additional touch input of the continuous touch input, sending an activation message that the media content is to be played on the second device when determining that the window is within a given distance of a virtual representation of the second electronic device on the interface.

Abstract: A system and associated method are provided for using a voice activated voice personal assistant (VPA) for a first user equipment, comprising: detecting establishment of a voice communication with a second user equipment; monitoring the voice communications using the VPA for commands relevant to the VPA; identifying, by the VPA, the commands within the voice communication; and implementing an action related to the commands during the ongoing voice communication.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for delivering personalized (e.g., contextual) messages to a user that meets certain geographic, affiliation/metadata, timing, and/or or other criteria. These messages are geographically and logically persistent, and can be left by members of the user's social or “buddy” network, individuals, institutions, the user's service provider(s), or even advertisers or others seeking a commercial opportunity. These messages can be rendered in the form of voice, video, audio (e.g., MP3), text and graphics delivered to mobile phones, PDA's or other devices with network connectivity. Exemplary embodiments of the invention incorporate existing geo-localization technologies such as GPS embedded in these mobile platforms, or triangulation via signals from the cellular/PCS networks, IP addressing, presence in ad hoc networks, cell ID, E911/E112, Time of Arrival (TOA), Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA), Observed Time Difference (OTD) and Angle of Arrival (AOA).
