Patent number: 9560499Abstract: Mobile device usage may be monitored and restricted by pushing enabling/disabling events from an administrator the device. The events impose a certain set of rules that can “lock” certain features provided by the device, according to permissions and pre-established policies, for a certain period of time. Such restricted periods may coincide with meetings or other events in which distractions should be kept to a minimum or be during regular, predetermined time periods. Preferably, the rules include conditional locks that allow a user to use a feature a reasonable number of times before the lock is activated to place the onus on the user for minimizing such distractions, while enabling the user to maintain access to such a vital communication tool.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2013Date of Patent: January 31, 2017Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Risvan Coskun, Daryl Joseph Martin, Ahmed E. Hassan, John Ferguson Wilson

Publication number: 20130170815Abstract: Techniques for use in providing object indicators for video recording or playback are described. A mobile device includes a media recorder module and a sensor device. The media recorder module is used to record video data in a media file. The sensor device detects signals which indicate the presence of an object during a time period of the recording. The mobile device receives object data comprising an identification of the object, and stores the object data in association with timestamp data which corresponds to the time period during which the object is present during the recording.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2011Publication date: July 4, 2013Applicant: Research In Motion LimitedInventors: Risvan Coskun, Ali Omer Mubarek

Patent number: 8442532Abstract: A system and method for facilitating the efficient operation of a mobile station as it transfers from communicating via one wireless data network to another. A session control node is coupled to the mobile node in such a manner that it selectively buffers data being transmitted to the mobile node, at least while the network transfer is being executed. When the mobile node had dropped its communication session with a first wireless network and established a new communication session with a second wireless network, the buffered data is read out and transmitted to the mobile node. The session control node may be coupled with a home network associated with the mobile node or a control node may be associated with the mobile node on an ad hoc basis.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 2009Date of Patent: May 14, 2013Assignee: Research in Motion LimitedInventors: Haining Zhang, Risvan Coskun
