Abstract: A vehicle system may include a communication device configured to receive road data. The system may also include an application, having a processor and a memory, configured to analyze the road data in view of the at least one vehicle attribute included in vehicle data. The application may also determine whether the road data is relevant and transmit, in response to the road data being relevant, a command to a display unit to display information based on the analysis of the road data.

Abstract: A method of sharing a streaming content item to a target user equipment (UE) device on a network includes identifying a UE device on the network that is currently receiving the content item. The method determines whether the target and source UE devices are serviced by a common base station. If they are, the method commands the base station to multicast the content item to the UE device and the target UE device. The method also includes sharing a content item stored on a first UE device with a second UE device by commanding the first UE device to send the content item to the second UE device without going through the network or by commanding the first UE device to upload the content item to the base station and then downloading the content item from the base station to the first UE device.

Abstract: A mobile device includes a transceiver that receives data from a network, and transmits data to the network, an input interface that receives input data from a user of the device, and a processor. The processor is configured to receive an input from the input interface indicating a desired quality of service (QoS) requested by the user for a communication session through the network. The processor is also configured to append a code corresponding to the desired QoS to a session initiation protocol (SIP) invite message relating to set-up of the communication session, and transmit the SIP invite message to the network by the transceiver to control the network to provide the desired QoS during communication between the mobile device and another device via the communication session through the network.

Abstract: A call is made from a user equipment (UE) device to a first other UE device that is paired to a short range communications device. The first other UE device monitors the respective connections between short range communications device and the first other UE device and a second other UE device and automatically hands over the telephone call from the first other UE device to the second other UE device when the connection between the short range communications device and the second other UE device is stronger than the connection between the short-range communications device and the other first UE device. The cordless headset 172 is concurrently handed off from the first other UE device to the second other UE device.

Abstract: A computing device may receive account information identifying a user account and may authenticate the computing device as authorized to configure pre-authorized transactions for the identified user account. The computing device may receive pre-authorization parameters specifying limitations on transactions to be performed using a payment card associated with the user account, the limitations being separate from limitations on use of the payment card specified in a cardholder agreement associated with the payment card, and may provide a pre-authorization request to a transaction authorization server authorizing transactions performed using the payment card, the pre-authorization request including the account information and the pre-authorization parameters.
