  • Patent number: 10805427
    Abstract: A method of consolidating user actions across a plurality of electronic devices. The method comprises receiving information from each of a plurality of electronic devices associated with a common user, where the receiving is performed by a consolidation application executing on a server computer, and analyzing the information by the consolidation application. The method further comprises identifying by the consolidation application a first application installed on a first one of the electronic devices, based on a plurality of mappings of related applications to different compatible electronic devices, determining that a second application related to the first application is compatible with a second one of the electronic devices, and sending a message to the second one of the electronic devices that suggests that the second application be installed on the second one of the electronic devices, whereby a user installs the second application on the second one of the electronic devices.

  • Patent number: 9525959
    Abstract: A mobile communication device comprising a radio transceiver to communicatively couple the mobile communication device to a radio access network by a wireless communication link, a processor coupled to the radio transceiver, a memory coupled to the processor, and an application stored in the memory that, when executed by the processor, collects language information for use in determining a default language for the mobile communication device, analyzes the language information to determine a probability of accuracy of the default language, and assigns the default language to the mobile communication device.

  • Patent number: 9430450
    Abstract: A method of scaling font size on a user interface of a mobile communication device. The method comprises presenting a message in a first font size on a display of the mobile communication device, and after a predefined delay of time, presenting the message in a second font size on the display of the mobile communication device, where the second font size is larger than the first font size. The method further comprises receiving a selection of a font size and, based on the font size selection, determining and presenting an altered flow of screens and icons automatically in the user interface of the mobile communication device with the selected font size.

  • Patent number: 9226321
    Abstract: Systems, methods, devices, and computer-readable media for initiating an emergency mode are provided. Emergency modes may be initiated from mobile devices in an accessible manner while still avoiding accidental actuation as a common occurrence. Some devices are simplified to the level of only having a single button so it may be quite difficult to dial a number (as there is no dial pad). In particular, it may be quite difficult to dial 9-1-1 in an emergency situation. Further, if only a single action is required in order to initiate an emergency mode on any user device, accidental actuation may become quite common. To combat this, a sequence of actions may be used such that accidental actuation is avoided and emergency modes are still accessible on user devices without dial pad functionality. In particular, a simultaneous push/pull action may initiate an emergency mode.
