Abstract: Methods and apparatus to associated voice messages with missed calls are disclosed. One example method includes receiving at a mobile device a call log item, obtaining a caller identity and a call log item time stamp, and determining if a voice message is associated with the call log item based on a voice message time stamp, the call log item time stamp, and a message duration. Other embodiments are described.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to obtain voice messages are disclosed. One example method includes receiving at a mobile device an indication to access voicemail, determining if visual voicemail is available, and initiating a call to a voicemail system in response to determining that visual voicemail is unavailable.

Abstract: To avoid the need to access multiple applications and perform multiple corresponding status changes each time a user or device's status or availability changes, multiple status updates can be generated and provided to corresponding systems, according to a detected event. To enable status updates to be provided to multiple systems based on the detected event, a status update module can be used, which is operable to send multiple status updates to multiple systems on behalf of a mobile device. By using a status server or other network-based component to performing such updating, processing can be offloaded from the mobile devices and updates can be performed even when the mobile devices are not communicable with the systems being updated.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to send voice messages are disclosed. One example method includes recording a voice message using a mobile communication device; and receiving at the mobile communication device a specification of a communication from a remote device different from the mobile communication device, wherein receipt of the communication triggers sending of the voice message. Other examples are disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and device for composite image creation. Images from multiple lenses, such as a front camera and rear camera of a host electronic device, are combined to create a composite image. The images may be modified before combining using location, orientation and/or proximity information associated with the images.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to manage voice message system attributes are described. One example method includes presenting at a mobile device a user interface of changeable attributes associated with a plurality of voicemail systems; receiving a change to one or more of the changeable attributes; receiving a designation of the voicemail systems to which the change is to be applied; and sending the change from the mobile device to the designated voicemail systems.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to send voice messages are disclosed. One example method includes receiving a selection of a service from a plurality of services; determining whether the selected service supports sending a voice message; recording the voice message using a mobile communication device; sending the voice message from the mobile communication device using the selected service if the selected service supports sending the voice message.

Abstract: A camera device for acquiring stereo images with one sensor is provided. The camera comprises: two apertures in a housing of the camera device, the two apertures separated by a human interocular distance; a sensor for sequentially acquiring electronic images from each of the two apertures; at least one minor enabled to change state for sequentially directing light from each of the two apertures to the sensor; and a controller for synchronizing the sensor with the state of the at least one mirror such that a first electronic image is acquired at the sensor from a first one of the two apertures when the at least one mirror is in a first state and a second electronic image is acquired at the sensor from the other of the two apertures when the at least one minor is in a second state.

Abstract: Methods and devices for identifying a relationship between contacts are described. In one example embodiment, the method includes: comparing data from a first contact record associated with a first contact to data from a second contact record associated with a second contact; determining, based on the comparison, whether the first contact is related to the second contact; and if the first contact and the second contact are determined to be related, establishing a relationship, in memory, between the first contact record and the second contact record.

Abstract: A method, system and apparatus for managing related messages at a communication device are provided. Related messages are received, at a communication device comprising a processor and a communication interface. A most recent message of the related messages is automatically stored at an inbox folder in a memory. Remaining messages of the related messages are automatically storing in a given folder at the memory, the given folder different from the inbox folder.

Abstract: An apparatus, and an associated method, that causes indication to be made to alert a user or other viewer of a communication device that a message, notification, or other information indicia has been acted upon by a rule of a rule set. A determiner determines that the indicia has been acted upon by a rule of the rule set and an indication is caused to be generated. The indication is displayed at a display device, together with an indication of the associated message, notification, or indicia, thereby to alert the viewer of the action taken upon the indicia.
