  • Patent number: 8009651
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a first wireless communication device may receive a data file via a first wireless network interface, determine if the whole file has been properly received, receive at least the data of the file that have not been properly received via the first wireless interface from a neighboring second wireless communication device and combine the data received via the first wireless network interface with data received from the neighboring wireless communication device in order to obtain the complete file. The second wireless communication device may also receive the data file via a second wireless network interface and send at least the data of the file that have not been properly received over a neighbor device interface.

  • Publication number: 20090265165
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for labeling an image recorded by a portable electronic device with descriptive tags is disclosed. Sounds in the vicinity of the portable electronic device are recorded. When the image is captured, the audio record of recorded sounds from a first predetermined period of time prior to the capture of the image until a second predetermined period of time after the capture of the image is retrieved. The retrieved audio record is processed to create a list of recognizable words in the retrieved audio record. The list of recognizable words is then stored in a metatag field associated with the captured image.
