Abstract: A system and method is provided for displaying a map having a close known location and a destination and for providing navigation recommendations for traveling from the close known location to the destination. A user may use a mobile device to submit a request for navigation instructions for navigating from a starting point to a destination. The request may be submitted to a web server, to the mobile device itself, or to another device that can provide navigation instructions. The web server/mobile device or other device determines a recommended route based on the starting point and the destination, and attempts to locate a close known location to the destination near the recommended route. Navigation instructions are provided to the user including directions from the close known location to the destination.

Abstract: A subscriber terminal for a radio system and an arrangement, a method and a computer program for presenting contact attempts to a subscriber terminal of a radio system are disclosed. The subscriber terminal includes: a transceiver configured to receive calls and messages; a control unit connected to the transceiver configured to save unanswered call data and messages relating to unanswered calls, and to constitute contact attempts from the unanswered call data and the messages relating to the unanswered calls; and a user interface connected to the control unit configured to present the contact attempts.

Abstract: A mobile station for managing context-related information includes at least one sensor capable of measuring at least a portion of at least one condition of the mobile station. The mobile station also includes a context engine capable of storing context-related information based upon the portion of the condition(s), where the context engine is also capable of managing an exchange of the context-related information with at least one context consumer. The mobile station further includes a privacy engine, a script engine and a communication manager. The privacy engine can provide security and/or privacy to the exchange of the context-related information. The script engine can execute at least one context rule relating to at least a portion of the context-related information. And the communication manager can communicate with at least one context consumer external to the mobile station for the exchange of context-related information.

Abstract: Methods and systems for managing metadata are described. The method comprises steps of receiving a request from an application to access a metadata attribute corresponding to a piece of content, determining whether the application is authorized to access the metadata attribute, retrieving the metadata attribute upon determining that the application is authorized to access the metadata attribute, and transmitting the metadata attribute to the application. A metadata storage medium may be accessed and searched for the metadata attribute. A system for associating content data, context data, and an event is also described. The system allows for a user to search for content data based upon context data. Another method for associating data is described. The method includes steps of initiating a mufti-media call session, initiating an application independent of the mufti-media call session, and associating collected metadata from the application and the mufti-media call session.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for creating, storing, retrieving and sharing personal information relating to earth shaking events (ESE). Upon receiving notice of an ESE, a user device may create an ESE data set by creating a name/description, creating metadata and collecting information relating to the event. The parameters of the collecting process, such as the period of collection, the type of data collected, the data sources, etc., may be defined by an action profile, which is associated with the type of the event of interest. The device may also notify peer devices of the event. An ESE data set may be stored locally or remotely in association with the metadata for later retrieval. An ESE data set may be retrieved for presentation to the user and/or for sharing with peer user devices thereby enabling one to relive the user's experience relative to the event.

Abstract: Systems and methods applicable, for instance, in data dispatch. For example, a series of nodes and/or other computers may be employed such that passing of data, via proximity connection, from node and/or other computer to node and/or other computer in the series results in the data being received by an intended recipient node and/or other computer. A node and/or other computer of the series might come to be in proximity connection range with another node and/or other computer of the series, for instance, by way of user translocation of one or more of the nodes and/or other computers.

Abstract: Systems and methods whereby, for example, a node and/or other computer may act to backup data, via a proximity connection, to another node and/or other computer. Further, systems and methods whereby, for example, a node and/or other computer may act to receive from another node and/or other computer, via a proximity connection, previously backed up data.
