Abstract: A qualifying system receives a channel activity record from one of a plurality of different external systems, over one of a plurality of different communication channels. It accesses qualification rules to determine whether the channel activity record is to be transformed into one or more target entities in a computing system. If so, a conversion engine accesses user-configurable mappings and conversion rules to identify conversion actions that are to be taken in order to transform the channel activity record into one or more target entities. The conversion engine performs a data transformation on the channel activity record to transform it into the identified one or more target entities.

Abstract: A system and method for updating calendar data is described. A server accesses calendar data for a user account. The server identifies a plurality of available time slots from the calendar data based on identifying a plurality of contiguous available time slots within a preset time range and within a preset date range. Each contiguous available time slot has a duration of at least a preset number of consecutive hours. The server generates an inquiry email that indicates the plurality of available time slots. The server communicates the inquiry email to the user account.

Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate the automated delivery of media content, such as music, audio clips, advertisements and including other digitized multi-media files, in a wireless communication environment. In an aspect, the media content may be downloaded to a user based on various user-characteristics, such as a profile of the user, the preferences of the user for a genre of media content, and the behavior of the user with respect to user actions on a wireless communication device.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for providing visualization, which may be provided with Augmented Reality, illustrating information for a procedure on a wireless device include identifying and presenting a visualization scenario, such as a video and/or an animation illustrating the desired procedure to educate an user or provide guidance to an user to help him deal with his current context. The apparatus and methods also include revising the visualization scenario based upon an occurrence of an event that changes and/or alters the visualization scenario in a dynamic and adaptive manner.

Abstract: Methods, systems, devices and computer program products are provided for locating, tracking and/or recovering a wireless communication device that has been misplaced, lost or stolen. In addition, the aspects provide for tracking or surveillance of the location or user in instances in which the wireless device has been loaned or is being used for covert surveillance. The aspects include communicating a locating state code to the targeted device, which detects the code and executes one or more routines that are associated with the respective code. In this regard, the targeted device is capable of carrying out different routines or sequences of actions depending on the state of the device, such as a misplaced state, a lost state, a stolen state or the like, which is based on the respective code.

Abstract: Methods, devices, computer program products, processors and wireless networks are presented that provide for temporary storage of media content on a wireless communication device. According to aspects, when a wireless communication device requests media content from a media content service but is unable to receive the media due to insufficient memory availability, insufficient wireless network signal strength or another delivery attribute, the media content service automatically re-directs delivery of the content to the associated temporary storage wireless communication device. In turn, the wireless device that requested the media content is able to automatically retrieve the media content from the temporary storage device when memory capacity or network signal strength is deemed sufficient to provide for storage or reception.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for facilitating communication amongst a plurality of applications associated with at least one device is provided. The method may comprise receiving, by an extension module, a request from a first application to communicate with one or more applications, establishing a communication link between the first and at least one of the one or more applications, wherein the communication link allows the first and the at least one of the one or more applications to communicate at least one of data or control information, and storing, by the extension module, at least a portion of data communicated between the communicating applications.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for advertisement mixing in a communication system. A method operable by a network node includes determining an advertisement associated with a communication device, mixing the advertisement with a call service to be provided to the communication device, and transmitting the advertisement and the call service to the communication device. An apparatus includes a receiver configured to receive a call service, processing module configured to obtain an advertisement associated with the call service, and rendering module configured to render the advertisement.

Abstract: Methods, devices, apparatus and systems are provided for adaptation of a wireless communication device based on current environmental conditions, historical environmental condition patterns and/or historical usage patterns. In this regard, the device senses such environmental conditions as light, sound, motion, temperature and the like and, automatically or at user discretion, adjusts functionality on the device that is affected by these conditions. Additionally, by determining environmental and usage patterns the device can adapt to the patterns by providing certain functionality and/or applications to the user at prescribed times of the day, week, month, etc. By being able to automatically adapt the functionality of a wireless communication device, the user of such a device experiences greater ease in using the device and an overall heightened user experience.
