  • Publication number: 20130290455
    Abstract: While populating an e-mail message with, among other details, an e-mail address for a receiver, an image of the sender is included as part of the e-mail message. Advantageously, at a device in use to execute an e-mail client application on behalf of the receiver, the e-mail client application may automatically add the included image to an address book entry associated with the identity of the sender. Alternatively, the user may be prompted to allow the association of the image with the address book entry of the sender of the message. Later, upon receiving an incoming call from the sender with corresponding CLID information, the call display application may perform a lookup of the CLID information and display the image associated, in the address book, with the sender.

  • Publication number: 20130159121
    Abstract: The present disclosure described herein relates to a system and method for managing transaction restrictions for an account in a family of accounts through a network. The method comprises: upon receipt of a transaction request from a device in the network at a server, analyzing a restriction field associated with the account against parameters associated the transaction request. When a transaction price associated with the transaction request exceeds a value in the restriction field or when a transaction entity associated with the transaction request is present as a restricted entity in the restriction field, completion of the transaction is denied. When contents of the restriction field relating to restrictions do not match any of the parameters, completion of the transaction is allowed. The method also updates the restriction field to reflect a change request for the transaction restriction for a subsequent transaction upon receipt of the change request.

  • Publication number: 20130132750
    Abstract: An electronic device includes an input device, an output device, a memory capable of storing an alert, and a processor coupled with the input device, the output device and the memory. The processor is configured to identify a current time, receive a command to switch the electronic device from a first operating mode to a second operating mode, and identify a record in a data-store. The record stores a first time identifier. The processor is further configured to identify a second time identifier. The processor automatically changes the second time identifier to be sooner than or equal to the first time identifier, automatically switches the electronic device from the second operating mode to the first operating mode when the current time matches the second time identifier, and presents the alert via the output device when the current time matches the first time identifier.

  • Patent number: 8354937
    Abstract: When a wireless communications device is traveling a speed exceeding a first predetermined threshold but less than a second predetermined threshold, the device is presumed traveling in a motor vehicle. In order to inhibit operation of the wireless communication device when traveling, access to certain device functions or applications such as e-mail, text messaging, etc. are limited by requiring the user of the device to respond correctly to a randomly generated visual challenge, such as, for example, a CAPTCHA (in which a user is prompted to recognize the characters in a visually distorted string of text). This visual challenge presents a sufficient obstacle that the user will be less likely to use the wireless communications device for e-mailing or texting while operating a motor vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20120083251
    Abstract: A mobile station includes one or more processors, a wireless transceiver coupled to the one or more processors, and a user interface which includes a visual display and a plurality of keys. The wireless transceiver is operative to receive a message which includes a telephone number string. When the message is visually displayed in the visual display, a hyperlink for the telephone number string in the message is created. The hyperlink for the telephone number string is highlighted when selected by an end user during the visual displaying of the message. In response to the a single depression of a SEND key while the hyperlink is selected, a telephone call to the telephone number string is initiated through the wireless communication network. Detection of the key is made immediately following the selection of the hyperlink without any intervening key depressions.
