Patent number: 8204491Abstract: A method in a mobile communication device and a network for transmitting, receiving, and processing a user-accessible contact information data entry in a contact information storage medium (214). User-accessible contact information data, such as a telephone book entry, is transmitted by a sender's device to the mobile communication device (202) with particular restrictions on the entry that trigger a processor (212) to carry out instructions (226, 224, 222) to restrict annunciation, transmission, and/or modification of the telephone book entry and also to trigger instructions (218) to delete all or part of the telephone book entry upon fulfillment of an expiration criterion specified by the sender's device.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2009Date of Patent: June 19, 2012Assignee: Motorola Mobility, Inc.Inventor: Roger D.

Patent number: 8116726Abstract: A parent mobile station (100) may establish a communication link (106) via a wireless network (104) using any appropriate technology. The parent mobile station (100) may send a control message over the communication link (106) which causes the child mobile station (101) to take various actions including being forced to call back the parent mobile station (100) upon any detected user action on a user interface of the child mobile station (101). For example, the child mobile station (101) may be locked such that no calls may be placed. Other actions of the child mobile station (101) may also be blocked such as, but not limited to, text messaging and Internet access. The command message may be a Short Message Service (SMS) message, a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) message or any other appropriate message.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2007Date of Patent: February 14, 2012Assignee: Motorola Mobility, Inc.Inventors: Roger D.

Patent number: 8005987Abstract: A system and method provides transition continuity for an event across a plurality of media representation device types. The system and method allow identification information for a media event such as a sports game, talk show, music, video, etc. to be handed-off between various media presentation devices such as radios, broadcast televisions, cable television set top boxes, an internet connected computer, satellite receivers, and multimedia cellular phones. A multi-representation media event hand-off method includes receiving (804) a first event identifier that corresponds to a first media representation of an event, correlating (808) the first event identifier to a second event identifier that corresponds to a second media representation of the event, and transmitting (810) data indicative of the second event identifier to a media device that facilitates presentation of the second media representation.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2010Date of Patent: August 23, 2011Assignee: Motorola Mobility, Inc.Inventors: Roger D. Richardson, Chad L. Biederman

Patent number: 7769365Abstract: Disclosed are methods and telephone book interfaces for a navigable telephone book of a mobile communication device. A method includes storing telephone book entries of the navigable telephone book of the mobile communication device, a subset of the telephone book entries being conforming names. The telephone book entries include conforming names to form a retrieved list of conforming names so that they may be accessed by at least one of a fine scrolling control and a coarse scrolling control. A truncated list of conforming names is displayed on the display screen so that a plurality of telephone book entries of the same name are undivided on a display screen, if the retrieved list of conforming names would otherwise span more than one page length of the display. Names are consolidated on the display screen if the consolidated list of conforming names fills at least one page length of the display.Type: GrantFiled: April 27, 2006Date of Patent: August 3, 2010Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Roger D.
