Abstract: What is disclosed is a method of operating a communication system to reconfigure a wireless communication device. The method includes, in the wireless communication device, optically receiving image data. The method also includes processing the image data to display a configuration interface, and receiving an instruction into the configuration interface to reconfigure the wireless communication device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for providing enhanced video voice messages from a first mobile device to a second mobile device. The method comprises providing user preferences from a first mobile device to a video enhancement component. A video voice message is generated at the first mobile device. Additionally, the video voice message is communicated to the video enhancement component. Further, the video voice message is enhanced based on the user preferences from the first mobile device. The enhanced video voice message is then provided to the second mobile device.

Abstract: A wireless communication system broadcasts using Frequency Modulation (FM) in a Very High Frequency (VHF) band. In the system, base stations exchange wireless communications with user devices including user media requests and the requested media. A control system processes the user media requests to identify media streams for individual base stations. The individual base stations wirelessly broadcast the media streams identified by the control system using FM in the VHF band. The base stations wirelessly notify the user devices of the media stream FM broadcasts.

Abstract: A roaming management computer system comprises a communication interface and a processing system. The communication interface is configured to receive loading thresholds and usage information for each of a plurality of different wireless networks. The processing system is configured to process the loading thresholds and the usage information to determine load balancing requirements for the wireless networks, and process the load balancing requirements to generate preferred roaming lists for wireless communication devices roaming in the wireless networks. The communication interface is further configured to transfer the preferred roaming lists for delivery to the wireless communication devices.

Abstract: Computer-readable media and methods are provided for identifying a mobile device as a legitimate subscriber to a communications network or as a clone device. A clone device is not legitimately subscribed to the network but poses as a legitimate device to gain usage of the legitimate mobile device's subscribed services. An application on the legitimate mobile device tracks call detail data for calls of the mobile device. The mobile device has a unique identifier. A network server compares the tracked call detail data against a master list of call detail data for the unique identifier. A mismatch between the mobile device's call detail data and the master list indicates a potential clone. A mobile device using the unique identifier but not providing substantially matching call detail data is identified as a clone. Countermeasures are provided to defeat the clone's usage of the network.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide systems, methods, and computer-readable media for generating a voice characteristic profile based on detected sound components. In embodiments, a call is initiated between a first caller and a second caller. Information communicated during the call is monitored to determine that sound components have been spoken by the first caller. The sound components are determined to be associated with a language dialect. Further, the sound components are stored in association with the first caller. In particular, the sound components are stored in association with the first caller in a voice characteristic profile of the first caller.

Abstract: A method, device, and medium are provided for improving a user's Internet experience, comprising in one aspect, receiving, from a gateway, an indication of a reply from a content provider indicating an error requiring arbitration, determining, on the basis of an arbitration agreement, one or more remediation measures for the gateway to take in response to the error, the remediation measures selected from the set consisting of: passing the reply to the user unchanged, providing cached content to the user, rewriting the error reply to include a redirection to an alternate page, rewriting the error reply to include an alternate reply status code, providing a standardized error page in place of the error reply provided by the content provider, rejecting future requests sent to the content provider, and redirecting future requests sent to the content provider to an alternate content provider; and sending to the gateway an arbitration response including a remediation policy indicating the remediation measures.

Abstract: Computer-readable media and methods are provided for utilizing analytics collected by a mobile device to inform a user and to implement rules that instruct the mobile device on handling of calls. Analytics that include data about calls made and received by the mobile device are collected by the mobile device. An application on the mobile device uses the analytics to rank callers and provides the rankings to the user. A rule is received by the mobile device that indicates how to handle inbound and outbound calls based at least on the rankings. The analytics and rules are also useable for promotional purposes and can be shared with other services.

Abstract: A method and system for dynamic selection of user plane or control plane signaling for mobile station location determination. A positioning system receives a request for the location of a mobile station and then makes a determination, based on one or more factors, of whether to employ user plane signaling or control plane signaling to obtain mobile station location data. The factors may include mobile station capability, mobile station call state, mobile station support for user plane signaling, mobile station support for simultaneous voice and data communication, time, precision of requested location, subscriber preference, failure of control plane or user plane signaling, and preference specified by the request, among others. Given the determination, the positioning system then employs the selected signaling mechanism.

Abstract: A material processing apparatus in which a housing is provided for receiving the material which is transported along the length of the housing to an outlet for discharge. One or more breaker assemblies are supported by the housing and normally extend in the path of the material as it passes from the inlet to the outlet. As the moving material contacts each breaker assembly it is subjected to forces which tend to break up individual material particles and accumulations of particles to prevent a jamming condition. Each breaker assembly includes a rod which is carried in and extends outwardly from the end of an externally threaded sleeve. The rods are retractable from the path in response to a force of predetermined magnitude applied to the rod by the material and is adapted to return to its normal position after release of the force.

Abstract: An elevatable and adjustable scaffold device for supporting ceiling or other panels usually attached to overhead rafters and ceiling beams, operable by one person and capable of fine adjustment for height, as well as length and width for working in small rooms.
