Patent number: 9967388Abstract: Mirrored interface navigation is disclosed between two or more mobile devices with similar capabilities. When a connection is established between the mobile devices, interface navigation actions detected on a first of the connected devices are transmitted to the other devices. The other devices receive and execute those interface navigation actions to perform parallel interface navigation with the first mobile device. For example, two smart phones are connected for shared interface navigation, interface navigation actions performed on the first smart phone are translated to the second smart phone to perform mirrored parallel interface navigation. The mirrored parallel interface navigation may occur regardless of device type or specific application, such that interface navigation actions on an Apple, Inc., IPHONE® may result in parallel interface navigation on a Google ANDROID®-based phone to similar application types.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2012Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventor: Jill S. Iwasaki

Patent number: 9781540Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, and computer program products are described for using context-aware recommendation techniques to facilitate content discovery on a mobile device platform. In particular, the context-aware recommendation techniques evaluate both a current device context and a social context to generate application relevance scores for each of a number of applications downloaded to a mobile device. Application representations on a graphical user interface (GUI) of the mobile device are rearranged, resized, and/or otherwise affected according to their respective application relevance scores. In certain configurations, one or more applications are pinned, thereby altering (e.g., reducing or eliminating) how changes in their respective application relevance scores affect display of their respective application representations on the GUI of the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2011Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Padmapriya Jagannathan, Jill S. Iwasaki, Pooja Aggarwal, Bennett M. King, Devarshi P. Shah, Roger M. Ruuspakka

Patent number: 9230240Abstract: A method of determining a communications contact relevance for a user includes: analyzing stored contact information of a plurality of contacts with which the user can at least one of receive information from or transmit information to; analyzing context information relevant to likelihoods of imminent communication by the user with the contacts, the context information including information different from ones of the contacts with which the user most recently communicated, the context information further including present user context information and at least one of present context or historical context associated with each of the contacts, respectively; and determining the likelihoods of imminent communication between the user and the contacts based on the context information.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2011Date of Patent: January 5, 2016Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Jill S. Iwasaki, Bennett M. King, Devarshi P. Shah, Padmapriya Jagannathan, Pooja Aggarwal, Roger M. Ruuspakka

Patent number: 9092664Abstract: An apparatus, a method, and a computer program product for detecting a gesture of a body part relative to a surface are provided. The apparatus determines if the body part is in proximity of the surface. If the body part is in proximity of the surface, the apparatus determines if electrical activity sensed from the body part is indicative of contact between the body part and the surface. If the body part is in contact with the surface, the apparatus determines if motion activity sensed from the body part is indicative of the gesture.Type: GrantFiled: January 14, 2013Date of Patent: July 28, 2015Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Babak Forutanpour, Shivakumar Balasubramanyam, Vitor R. Carvalho, Bennett M. King, Jill S. Iwasaki

Patent number: 8923760Abstract: The disclosure provides for collaborating user data maintained in separate mobile devices by tangibly manipulating the distance and orientation between the mobile devices. The placement of one device with respect to one or more other devices triggers an action when the proximity and orientation between the devices is detected. The data on each proximal device is temporarily shared among the devices, allowing the users of the devices to see the aggregated data.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2012Date of Patent: December 30, 2014Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventor: Jill S. Iwasaki

Publication number: 20130246946Abstract: Information sharing is disclosed between a rich user device and one or more secondary display devices. A user selects types of information at the rich user device to be shared with the secondary display devices. On selection, the rich user device sends the selected information sets to the secondary display devices for display. When updates of the information are detected at the rich user device, those updates are sent along to the secondary display devices to display the new, updated information.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2012Publication date: September 19, 2013Applicant: QUALCOMM INCORPORATEDInventor: Jill S.
