Abstract: A system and method for controlling how images are displayed on a display screen of a portable computing device changes the orientation of the images on the display screen when the orientation of the portable computing device changes. The portable computing device is determined to have changed its orientation when it tilts beyond a reference angle that separates a first orientation from a second orientation. If the portable computing device is rapidly tilting back and forth across the reference angle, the value of the reference angle is changed to be either larger or smaller. This prevents the images from rapidly switching back and forth between two different display orientations on a display screen of the portable computing device.

Abstract: A system and method for controlling how images are displayed on a display screen of a portable computing device changes the orientation of the images on the display screen when the orientation of the portable computing device changes. If the orientation of the portable computing device is changing only infrequently, the orientation of the images on the display screen may be rapidly changed when the orientation of the portable computing device changes. If the orientation of the portable computing device is changing relatively frequently, the orientation of the images may not switch until after a delay period has expired after each change in orientation of the portable computing device occurs.

Abstract: A method for managing the presentation of enhanced message content includes receiving a message including an identification of one or more recipients and message content, determining, by execution of instructions by a processor, that the received message includes a tag for invoking at least one of enhanced presentation of the message content or a notification, and generating at least one of a reformatted message, wherein the reformatted message includes the message content reorganized according to the tag, or a notification, formatted according to the tag, for alerting at least one of the one or more recipient that the message relates to a particular topic or has an enhanced priority.

Abstract: Methods and systems for forwarding data packets containing media of an Internet protocol (IP) communication are provided herein. In some embodiments, a method for forwarding data packets containing media of an IP communication may include receiving IP communication setup signaling that includes an indication of a first originating IP address for data packets that are to be forwarded to a destination address; setting the first originating IP address as an authorized originating IP address; receiving a data packet from a second originating IP address directed to the destination address; and determining whether to forward the data packet from the second originating IP address to the destination address based on whether a first pre-defined time interval has elapsed since a last data packet was received from the first originating IP address.
