Abstract: A system for controlling a device, comprising a user-controlled overlay configured to receive one or more user-entered controls and to generate a display on a screen of the device that includes a tab, a panel and a plurality of icons disposed within the panel. A touch screen controller configured to receive user-entered screen interface data from the screen and to generate coordinate data from the user-entered screen interface data. A processor coupled to the user-controlled overlay and the touch screen controller, the processor configured to modify the user-controlled overlay to generate a user-interface window for an application associated with a selected icon in response to the coordinate data. The user-controlled overlay includes a fly-out window associated with one or more of the icons, wherein the content of the fly-out window is generated from an alert received at a wireless interface of the device.

Abstract: A method of calibrating a trigonometric-based ranging system in first and second transmissive media including, in each of the first and second media, determining a sensor matrix for a sensor of the system therein. Rotation and translation of a sensor axis of the sensor is measured relative to an ideal sensor axis, by determining the rotation and translation of a sensor co-ordinate system of the sensor in each of the first and second media concurrently, to provide a rotation/translation matrix for a field of view of the sensor in each of the first and second media. Rotation of a device axis of a structured signal-emitting device relative to an ideal device axis is measured by determining a relative change in the structured signal in the first medium and in the second medium, to generate a device rotation matrix to be applied to the structured signal.

Abstract: A system and method of searching data stored on a wireless device is provided. Using a search request to search data stored on a wireless device which is received at a first processing node from a second processing node, the first processing node performs a search of the data stored on the wireless device. Search results are generated at the first processing node based on the search, and the search results are provided from the first processing node to the second processing node.

Abstract: In a method for managing a target system from a Push-to-Talk station, a Gateway receives a request to manage the target system from the Push-to-Talk station. The request includes an identifier for the Push-to-Talk station and an identifier for the target system. A push-to-talk call session is established between the Push-to-Talk station and the Gateway. A second communication session is established between the target system and the Gateway using an appropriate protocol supported by the target system. The Gateway Transformer translates messages from the Push-to-Talk station into formats and protocols registered for use with the Push-to-Talk station for controlling and querying the target system.
