  • Patent number: 8515397
    Abstract: A cellular or wireless mobile handset includes a processor configured with software to monitor time, date, location and other parameters, and change customization settings, known as themes, based upon the monitored parameter. Multiple themes may be stored on the mobile handset and implemented by the mobile handset processor based upon a variety of circumstances. A theme server may be accessed by the mobile handset to download theme settings and files. Working together, mobile handsets and a theme server can provide location-specific as well as time/date specific themes to mobile handsets.

  • Patent number: 8224304
    Abstract: Methods and systems for disambiguating entries within a contacts listing database of a mobile device detect newly created contact records having a same data element (e.g., a telephone number) and alert the user. Other contact records storing the same data element may be identified. Matching contact records may be grouped and provided a group label so that when a call is received from a member of the group, the mobile device can identify the caller using the group label. Call logs can similarly be disambiguated by informing a user when a call has been made to or received from a number that matches values in data fields of more than one contact record and enabling the user to edit or augment information recorded in the call log to properly reflect the identity of the other party to the call.

  • Patent number: 7856415
    Abstract: Translating asynchronous system events into a data structure involves translating the conditional text elements and the dynamic data fields of an event into the predetermined format of a data structure. The conditional text elements and dynamic data fields of the event are parsed until a leaf node is reached for each element or field of the event. The format of the data structure may be maintained in a file that is stored separately from the resulting data structure.

  • Publication number: 20080184264
    Abstract: A computer implemented method that may include receiving an object manager request within an object oriented model, wherein said model comprises a first object manager comprising a first data format and a second object manager comprising a second data format different than the first data format and wherein the request is from the first object manager for information regarding a managed object managed by the second object manager. The method may also include intercepting the object manager request with a proxy provider able to communicate with the second object manager. The method may also include generating with the proxy provider a proxy request for information to the second object manager regarding the managed object managed by the second object manager.
