Abstract: A consumer electronics (CE) device includes at least one processor and at least one computer readable storage medium accessible to the processor. The medium is programmed with instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to execute logic including detecting the position of the CE device and sending a command to at least one apparatus at a location distanced from the CE device to establish at least one configuration of the apparatus. The command is sent responsive to a determination that the CE device is passing a predefined distance from a location.

Abstract: Systems and methods for sharing media over a network. The system includes an event server running an event application and configured to store event data and communicate with computing devices over a network. Events are defined based on a geolocation and a time period. Computing devices run a client application configured to send media, geolocations, authentication keys and timestamps over the network. The event server determines whether a computing device matches the event parameters, and if so, associates the computing device with the event. Associated computing devices are then able to access all media associated with the event.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide methods, systems and apparatuses for use in displaying and/or distributing heterogeneous applications or applications for heterogeneous platforms. Some of these methods, systems and apparatus include steps or components for storing heterogeneous applications, determining compatibility for each of the stored applications via a remote processing system, and presenting to a consumer via the remote processing system only those applications that are compatible with a target processing system.

Abstract: A system and method for effectively selecting functions in an electronic device includes a command database that is created for storing device commands that include specifically-defined patterns and corresponding respective device functions. Appropriate pattern input means may be utilized for detecting the patterns that are input by device users. A command manager utilizes the recognized patterns to identify corresponding device functions from the command database. The electronic device may then execute the identified device functions.

Abstract: The user interface of a location-aware device (e.g., a wireless telephone) is intelligently altered/configured based on the current location of the device, movement of the device, and/or current date/time. The user interface is automatically changed by activating a specific function and/or displaying a specific set of menu items as a result of a combination of the device's location and/or velocity and/or acceleration and/or direction of movement and/or current date/time.
