Patent number: 11074618Abstract: In one embodiment, an apparatus accesses a memory to obtain information regarding sharing history (as pertains, for example, to a particular user and/or device) and uses that sharing history to display at least one recommended sharing action (from amongst a plurality of available candidate sharing actions) as regards to a particular content item (such as, for example, a particular digital photograph, a video, a presentation, and so forth). This sharing history can comprise previously-selected sharing actions as correlated to content item types including shared-content recipients, corresponding temporal data, shared-content size, corresponding location data, and so forth. By one approach the apparatus itself serves to automatically track user-based content-sharing selections over time, which information is stored as the aforementioned sharing history.Type: GrantFiled: June 13, 2013Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Cody Stephen Bryant, Geordon Thomas Ferguson, Christofer Bengt Thure Leyon, Arun Kumar, Orlin Vesselinov Stoev

Patent number: 8839148Abstract: A method and apparatus managing processing resources in a portable electronic device are provided. An area of the display device is controlled to provide a banner region comprising device state data, the area of the display device enabled to receive focus using an input device. While focus is in the banner region, first input data is receiving, and the display device is responsively controlled to provide in the banner region an indication of the first application, replacing the device state data. Further input data is received while the indication of the first application is provided in the banner region. In response and, in response, at least one of the following occurs: the first application is brought to the foreground by controlling the display device to provide a representation of the first application; and the first application is closed such that resources used by the processing unit are reduced.Type: GrantFiled: October 7, 2010Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Orlin Vesselinov Stoev, Michael William Brown
