Abstract: The present disclosure describes personalized active screensavers which are actionable and react to user preferences and user details. A presence of an individual is detected. The individual is analyzed to determine information related to the individual. Content is displayed on a display based on the determined information related to the individual. A screensaver mode is initiated on the display in response to the individual moving out of a predetermined range.

Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system and method for providing supplemental content. Media content is displayed on a display device. An indication is displayed on the display device to alert a user of the availability of supplemental content related to the media content if it is determined that supplemental content is available. The supplemental content is retrieved from one or more servers in response to user input, and the supplemental content is displayed on the display device by overlaying the supplemental content on top of the media content.

Abstract: Automatic provision or registration of an enhanced-service that has not yet been provisioned for that service is detected and processed within a mobile system. Upon introduction into a mobile communication system, the mobile unit is detected as enhanced-service capable and non-provisioned. A configuration message including information is transmitted to the mobile unit. This information enables the mobile unit to manage the enhanced service. In addition, a detection signal, including a service agreement identifier associated with the mobile unit is transmitted to an enhanced-service center comprising an enhanced-service database or register. The center registers the mobile unit as enhanced-service capable by updating the database based on the received service agreement identifier.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method, apparatus and system for processing a multimedia message wherein a multimedia message is received (1202) and it is determined whether the multimedia message should be processed using a customized process (1204). If the multimedia message should be processed with the customized process, the present invention retrieves one or more customized processing instructions from a database (1208) and processes the multimedia message using the one or more customized processing instructions (1210). If, however, the multimedia message should not be processed using the customized process, the present invention processes the multimedia message using a standard process (1206). This method can be implemented using hardware or a computer program embodied on a computer readable medium wherein each block represents a code segment.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method, apparatus and system for delivery to a terminal during connectionless communications. The present invention sends a first multimedia message notification (306) to the terminal (302). Whenever the terminal (302) rejects delivery (310) of the multimedia message, the present invention requests (312) one or more capabilities of the terminal (302), reformats (316) the multimedia message based on the requested capabilities and sends a second multimedia message notification (318) to the terminal (302). Whenever the terminal (302) accepts delivery (322) of the multimedia message, the present invention sends the reformatted multimedia message (326) to the terminal (302). This method can be implemented using a computer program embodied on a computer readable medium wherein each function is executed using a code segment.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system, method and apparatus for balancing multimedia message loading within a network (118). When a multimedia message is received at the load balancer (102), one of the two or more multimedia service relays (104) is selected to process the multimedia message. The load balancer (102) is communicably coupled to the two or more multimedia service relays (104) and the two more multimedia service servers (106). The multimedia message is then sent to the selected multimedia service relay (104) for processing. Thereafter, the processed multimedia message is received from the selected multimedia service relay (104), one of the two or more multimedia service servers (106) is selected to store the multimedia message on a message storage device (108) communicably coupled to the selected multimedia service server (106), and the processed multimedia message is sent to the selected multimedia service server (106).
