Patent number: 9014679Abstract: An example aspect includes a mobile device that can perform a method where a conference call schedule is kept in a calendaring application, which is made to reference a temporary entry in a contact manager, which tracks access information, such as a dial-in number, an authentication code, and descriptive information for the call, such as a name for the call. The access information from the temporary contact entry is used to establish the call, and the descriptive information from the contact entry is outputted, such as through a display. An entry in a log can be created for the call using the descriptive information from the temporary contact entry. The temporary contact entry can be maintained if the conference call is to be repeated, or else it can be deleted. Such devices and methods provide an enhanced user experience for conference calls, by providing logging and display of more descriptive information about the calls.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 2010Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Yuriy Yuryevich Lobzakov, Peter Eymard Baccay, Colin Mark Werner

Patent number: 8615222Abstract: Aspects relate to initiating voice calls to mobile devices from an enterprise network. In one example, a server can initiate a voice channel to a mobile device, and if the mobile device cannot be reached, an access network may redirect the call from the server to a number identified as a voicemail number; however, such number is reconfigured to instead be directed to a number located within the enterprise network. The server can monitor or receive an indication that a call is incoming, and attributable to the mobile device. If such a call is incoming or received, then the server determines that the call has failed. If the mobile device answers the call, the server can determine that the voice channel has been established, without waiting for a confirmation indication, such as a DTMF tone.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2013Date of Patent: December 24, 2013Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Richard J.

Patent number: 8494506Abstract: A call destination mapping method executes on a mobile communication device. The mobile communication device requests a call action within the device for a first call destination number of a call destination, maps the first call destination number to a second call destination number in accordance with one or more call destination mapping rules stored on the device, and replaces the first call destination number in the call action with the second call destination number.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2010Date of Patent: July 23, 2013Assignee: Research In Motion LimitedInventors: Lawrence Edward Kuhl, Colin Mark Werner, Christopher Lyle Bender, Scott William Totzke

Publication number: 20130132750Abstract: An electronic device includes an input device, an output device, a memory capable of storing an alert, and a processor coupled with the input device, the output device and the memory. The processor is configured to identify a current time, receive a command to switch the electronic device from a first operating mode to a second operating mode, and identify a record in a data-store. The record stores a first time identifier. The processor is further configured to identify a second time identifier. The processor automatically changes the second time identifier to be sooner than or equal to the first time identifier, automatically switches the electronic device from the second operating mode to the first operating mode when the current time matches the second time identifier, and presents the alert via the output device when the current time matches the first time identifier.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2011Publication date: May 23, 2013Applicant: RESEARCH IN MOTION LIMITEDInventors: Colin Mark Werner, Raymond Paul Vander Veen

Patent number: 8385888Abstract: Mobile devices are authorized to access PBX-based voice services through presentation of audible tones on a voice channel, which are determined based on a code received over a separate data channel. The device can request a code over a data channel from a server in communication with the PBX. The server provides data representative of the code over the data channel to the device, and arranges for local storage of the code. The device makes a connection with the PBX over a separate voice channel. The mobile device presents the received code as a sequence of audio tones (e.g., DTMF tones). The audio tones are used to generate data that can be compared with stored codes by an authentication module. The authorization module can indicate to the PBX that the code is valid; services can be provided by the PBX in response. The valid codes can be maintained, such as by removing used codes from code storage.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2009Date of Patent: February 26, 2013Assignee: Research In Motion LimitedInventors: Christopher Labrador, Alexander Reif, Michael Eric Gray, Douglas Gisby, Colin Mark Werner

Patent number: 8294601Abstract: A method and device are provided for preventing unintended activation of one or more hard keys on a mobile device. A capacitive sensor senses a capacitance level at a location on the keyboard, to detect whether a hard key is being actuated by a human hand or human skin. If the sensed capacitance level exceeds a key activation capacitance threshold, a key circuit connection is identified as being associated with an intended hard key activation. If the measured capacitance level is within an uncertainty tolerance below the key activation capacitance threshold, a secondary capacitance level is measured at a non-keyboard location. The key circuit connection is identified as being associated with an intended hard key activation when the measured secondary capacitance level exceeds a key activation confirmation threshold. Additional secondary indicators can be obtained based on size and shape capacitance pattern, timing information, and an active application or device state.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 2009Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Assignee: Research In Motion LimitedInventors: Colin Mark Werner, Lawrence Edward Kuhl, Keizo Marui, Chao Chen, Ken Wu

Publication number: 20120112426Abstract: The presently disclosed embodiments, as well as features and aspects thereof, are directed towards providing a modular cart system operable in multiple configurations suitable for multiple transport applications and, more particularly, for a modular cart system that includes a multi-purpose chassis member. Advantageously, embodiments of a multi-purpose chassis member include various features that provide for either the receipt of a component included in a modular cart system or, alternatively, mechanical coupling to fixtures that are exclusive from the modular cart system. Importantly, because a multi-purpose chassis member is configured for the receipt of various components that may or may not be comprised within a given cart arrangement, a modular cart system that includes a multi-purpose chassis member can be reconfigured for a custom transport solution depending on application.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2010Publication date: May 10, 2012Inventor: Mark Werner Volkmann
