Abstract: A system and method for providing location based reminder is provided. The method comprises the steps of instructing mobile switching center to remind user on reaching a predetermined location via transaction input; forwarding the transaction input to external short messaging entity via mobile switching center; processing and sending the transaction input to Location Services (LCS) Client to set up change of area event; determining if the change of area event is invoked and user equipment has entered the predetermined location; providing a report to external short messaging entity via LCS Client, if the change of area event is invoked; and directing external short messaging entity to invoke a reminder on user equipment via application server.

Abstract: The instant amendment is provided as a complete replacement to the amendment filed on Jul. 10, 2012. The instant amendment is submitted to correct a typographical error found in the previously-filed amendment. Claims 1 and 13 in the previously-filed amendment incorrectly recite “when it is determined by the MSC that a change of area event for the UE has occurred, forwarding a Subscriber Location Report (SLR) from the MSC to the VGMLC when it is determined by the MSC that a change of area event for the UE has occurred,” whereas they should have recited “forwarding a Subscriber Location Report (SLR) from the MSC to the VGMLC when it is determined by the MSC that a change of area event for the UE has occurred,” instead.

Abstract: A system and method for providing data transfer from a source node to a destination node in a network using variance based messaging is provided. The method comprises the steps of receiving one or more messages by the source node; selecting a plurality of messages to be grouped from the one or more messages, wherein the plurality of messages comprise data with minimum deviation in content; creating an integrated message from the plurality of messages; sending the integrated message from the source node to the destination node; and recreating each message of the plurality of messages at the destination node.

Abstract: A system and method for reporting change of area event is provided. The method comprises the steps of receiving a Location Service (LCS) request from an LCS Client to report a change of area event for a User Equipment (UE) for a predetermined location; obtaining an address of a Mobile Switching Center (MSC) associated with the predetermined location; establishing a connection with the MSC associated with the predetermined location; forwarding the LCS request to a Visited Gateway Mobile Location Center (VGMLC) associated with the MSC when the connection is established; checking whether a change of area event has occurred for the UE by monitoring location update of the UE at the MSC; forwarding a Subscriber Location Report (SLR) from the MSC to the VGMLC when the change of area event occurs for the UE; and sending a location update report from the Home Gateway Mobile Location Center (HGMLC) to the LCS Client.

Abstract: An electronic book locator can be a hand-held or a mounted device for locating or cataloguing books. One or more images of book spines can be processed using character recognition methods to electronically recognize book identification information appearing on the book spine. Locations of books in a book storage area can be determined from images of the books in the book storage area. Determined book locations can be compared to designated locations and misplaced books can be indicated. A book database can be generated based on images of books. Identification information of a target book can be input into a book locator device and a location of the target book can be indicated by the device.
