  • Publication number: 20100287240
    Abstract: There is described a method, device and computer program product for updating a blog web-site using a portable mobile communications device equipped with one or more data generating sensors. This includes acquiring sensor data from the sensors and creating a blog entry containing the acquired sensor data. The blog entry is then sent from the portable mobile communications device to a blog Internet web-site over a mobile network. A blog update profile indicates a schedule for updates and which sensor data to include. Sensor blog data can also be appended to manual blog entry data to form a single blog entry. The sensors can be integrated within the portable mobile communications device, or can be accessories that are communicable with the portable mobile communications device. The sensors can include a location determination sensor, an accelerometer, a heart rate monitor, a blood pressure monitor, or a body temperature monitor.

  • Patent number: 7600139
    Abstract: An electronic equipment is provided that includes a battery, function circuitry that carries out one or more functions using power drawn from the battery, and a power assessment circuit that assesses power requirements of the function circuitry in relation to a function specified to be performed from among the one or more functions. The electronic equipment further includes a battery monitor circuit that monitors power available from the battery, and a battery advisor circuit, operatively coupled to the power assessment circuit and the battery monitor circuit. The battery advisor provides a recommendation indicative of whether the power available from the battery is sufficient for the function circuitry to carry out the specified function.

  • Publication number: 20080309621
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a display for displaying icons selectable with use of a stylus, a stylus location determination function that determines a location of the stylus in relation to the display without necessitating that the stylus make physical contact with the display, and a highlight function, operatively coupled to the stylus location determination function, that highlights the icon associated with the location of the stylus prior to the stylus making physical contact with the display.
