Abstract: Content displaying methods, systems and computer program products display first display content on a first display screen of a handheld wireless communicator, while simultaneously sending second display content that is different from the first display content, from the handheld wireless communicator to an external display screen. In videoconferencing applications, the second display content can include an image of the remote party, and the first display content can include an image of the user of the handheld wireless communicator and/or a camera image from the handheld wireless communicator. In displaying alphanumeric data, the first display content can include first alphanumeric data, and the second display content can include the first alphanumeric data and additional detail data concerning the first alphanumeric data.

Abstract: Methods of processing signals received at wireless communications devices are provided. First and second audio signals are received from first and second sources, respectively, at the communications device. The first audio signal is assigned to a first speaker channel and the second audio signal is assigned to a different second speaker channel. Thus, sounds emanating from the communications device responsive to the first and second audio signals are perceivably dimensionally separate from one another. Related wireless communications devices are also provided.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a system and method for rendering multimedia data received by a wireless communications device via a wireless communications network over one or more external multimedia rendering devices. In one embodiment, the present invention receives multimedia data that includes image and audio data from one or more remote parties over the network. A controller in the wireless communications device distinguishes between the received image and audio data. Rather than display the received data on the device display, the controller controls a short-range transceiver to redirect the image data to an external display device for display. Likewise, the controller also controls the short-range transceiver to transmit the received audio data to an external audio device for rendering as audible sound over a speaker. The short-range transceiver transmits the image and audio data to their respective external multimedia rendering devices via one or more short-range interfaces.

Abstract: A method and means by which a mobile phone can participate in a promotional offer that is sponsored by an interested party is disclosed. The sponsor creates a promotional campaign and defines its parameters using promotional offer code (POC) data. The POC data is then pre-provisioned into the mobile phone. If a mobile phone user becomes aware of the promotional campaign and wishes to participate, he navigates his mobile phone menu structure to a “promotions” menu and inputs a POC that was included in the sponsor's advertisements. The mobile phone then links the input POC to the pre-provisioned POC data. Another function in the mobile phone then constructs a promotional offer entry (POE) that conforms to the parameters set out in the pre-provisioned POC data. The POE is then transmitted to the sponsor. The sponsor reviews all valid entries and chooses one or more winners. The sponsor can then broadcast a status message to all entrants to inform them whether they won anything from the promotion.
