Patent number: 9049591Abstract: A system and method for delaying delivery of teleconference access information includes at least one processor, at least one computer readable medium in communication with the processor, and at least one program module stored on the medium. The module is operative to create a teleconference notification in response to a request from a requestor device. The module can also assign a date, time, and access information for the teleconference, receive an input from the requestor device to delay delivery of the access information, and deliver the teleconference notification to at least one participant device. The teleconference notification has at least the date and time of the teleconference but not the access information. The module delays delivery of the access information to the at least one participant. For example, delivery of the access information is delayed until a predetermined time period from the assigned date and time of the teleconference.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2012Date of Patent: June 2, 2015Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Neeraj Garg, Adrian Michael Logan

Patent number: 8904544Abstract: Data received at, or created on, a device may be tagged as corporate dependent upon a service over which the data is received or an application in which the data is created. When a user attempts to insert tagged data into a data item that is to be transmitted by the device, the insertion may be prevented. Similarly, the transmission of tagged data may be restricted to only occur on a secure service.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 2011Date of Patent: December 2, 2014Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Van Quy Tu, Adrian Michael Logan, Andrew John Ewanchuk, Imtiaz Nadaf

Publication number: 20140010120Abstract: A method of managing communications services begins with a communications platform receiving a request for a communications service to be provided to a communications device by a source other than the communications platform. The communications platform determines an authorization of the communications device to receive the communications service. The authorization comprises a permission of the communications device to receive the communications service during a lifetime of a communications session maintained with the communications device. The communications network authorizes delivery of the communications service to the communications device during the lifetime of the communications session, in accordance with the authorization.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2013Publication date: January 9, 2014Applicant: BLACKBERRY LIMITEDInventors: Christopher LABRADOR, Brian Alexander OLIVER, Douglas Michael GISBY, Susan Elizabeth SIMON DANIELS, Brian Edward Anthony McCOLGAN, Adrian Michael LOGAN, Eric Allan FRITZLEY, Nicholas Patrick ALFANO, Richard John GEORGE

Publication number: 20130275387Abstract: A method, server and mobile electronic device for archiving data are provided. The server determines that an amount of the data managed by the server meets a threshold condition and in response transmits a message to the mobile electronic device associated with the data, the message indicative that the threshold condition has been met. The mobile electronic device responds to the message with a response indicative that the data is to be archived. The response triggers the server to cause at least a portion of the data to be archived, thereby increasing memory available for storing further data.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 13, 2013Publication date: October 17, 2013Inventors: Adrian Michael LOGAN, Neeraj GARG
