Abstract: A Pushlet IM method for pushing a message from a first client device to a second client device includes the steps of: providing a Java-based web service; receiving a message from the first client device, the message including information of a recipient entity; verifying identity of a sender entity who intends to send the message to the recipient entity using the first client device; and creating a thread according to the information of the recipient entity for pushing the message to the second client device that is associated with the recipient entity.

Abstract: A method for synchronous display of operating information includes the steps of: receiving a request from a first device for access to a file stored in a server; providing the file to the first device and a second devices, contents of the file being displayed on each of the first and second devices in a form of a web page using a respective web browser launched thereby; receiving, from the first device, operating information that is associated with an input operation performed upon the web page of the first device; and relaying the operating information to the second device. The operating information is used to display an indicator associated therewith on the web page of the second device.

Abstract: A dual memory architecture for software partition on mobile terminals incorporates a mobile information device (MID) handset having a first memory; a plurality of host peripherals; and a card interface. A miniaturized form factor card (mobile card) incorporating wireless communications components is received in the card interface and includes a second memory including default host peripheral drivers. The interface provides operable connection from the MID memory to the mobile card. In certain embodiments, the first memory includes device specific host peripheral drivers, which are uploaded to the mobile card second memory upon insertion of the mobile card in the card interface.

Abstract: A mobile information device (MID) incorporates a handset having a primary applications processor, a primary display, a primary input keyboard, a second input keypad, a second display having reduced functionality from the primary display and a card interface. A miniaturized form factor card is received in the card interface which includes a second processor and wireless communications components. The interface provides operable connection from the second processor to the second input keypad and second display. During operations of simple voice call or comparable functions, the primary applications processor, primary display and primary keyboard remain in sleep mode to reduce power consumption for the MID with the call functionality provided by the second processor, second keyboard and second display. During operations requiring higher level functionality, the primary applications processor, primary display and primary keyboard are awakened to provide the necessary capability.

Abstract: A device for network routing control of voice/data traffic for a mobile phone having a primary communication network incorporates a short range radio interface communicating with a compatible radio interface in the mobile phone and a wireless communications interface communicating voice/data traffic received through the short range radio interface to an alternative wireless network and traffic received from the alternative wireless network to the short range radio interface. The device is packaged with a media player receiving content over the alternative wireless network and storage for the media content and mobile phone data.

Abstract: A miniaturized form factor card provides a communications system for mobile information devices having an applications processor and user interface components. A receiving frame is provided in the mobile information device and an insertable miniaturized form factor card incorporating means for RF transmission and reception and a wireless modem and having an indexing connector which is received in a mating moiety in the receiving frame. The applications processor and the user interface components in the mobile information device are interconnected to digital functions of the wireless modem and means for RF transmission and reception through the connector. Additionally, the miniaturized form factor card further includes a power management function interfacing with the applications processor and user interface components through the connector.

Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for reducing congestion of real time data traffic on a multimedia communications network having a traffic control mechanism. Information regarding congestion of the multimedia communications network is first extracted from data traffic in the multimedia communications network. This extraction is performed by a network of monitors. Congestion is regulated by a central server, which receives network information from the monitors and utilizes the network information to analyze congestion status and communicate instructions to the multimedia communications network to reduce congestion.
