Patent number: 9414234Abstract: A personnel access system may include a mobile device(s) comprising a first near field communication (NFC) device, a wireless device, and a first controller configured to generate an access request. An access control device may be associated with a personnel access position and include a second NFC device configured to receive the access request, and a second controller configured to generate a verification request for the mobile device(s) based upon the received access request. A verification device may be configured to receive the verification request from the access control device, and send a verification message to the mobile device(s). The first controller may be configured to receive the verification message via the wireless device, and generate verification data based thereon. The second controller may be configured to selectively grant personnel access based upon the verification data.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2015Date of Patent: August 9, 2016Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventors: Santiago Carbonell Duque, Alberto Daniel Zubiri, Tomasz Buczek

Patent number: 8983458Abstract: A mobile communication device maintains a stored list of a plurality of carrier identifications, where each carrier identification is stored in association with one of a plurality of country codes. The mobile device is also associated with a home wireless carrier that is identifiable by a home carrier identification stored in its memory. The mobile device reads the home carrier identification from the memory, and selects one of the plurality of country codes that is stored in association with the home carrier identification. During operation, the mobile device reads a specified domain name in response to a user-initiated request made via a Web browser or search application. Then, the mobile device produces a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) request with a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) corresponding to a specified domain name and a country code parameter which includes the selected country code. The HTTP request with the URL is submitted via the wireless communication network.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2009Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignee: Blackberry LimitedInventors: Tomasz Buczek, Kalu Onuka Kalu, Sanjay Kalyanasundaram

Patent number: 8983373Abstract: A communications system may include a first mobile device holder and a first trigger device associated therewith, a second mobile device holder different than the first mobile device holder and a second trigger device associated with the second mobile device holder, and a first NFC device associated with the first mobile device holder. The system may further include a mobile device configured to be removably coupled with the first holder or the second holder, a second NFC device carried by the housing, and a detector carried by the housing and configured to detect the first trigger device or the second trigger device. The mobile device may also include a controller carried by the housing and configured to determine positioning adjacent the first or second holder based upon the second NFC device and the detector, and operate in a respective first or second operating mode accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2011Date of Patent: March 17, 2015Assignee: BlackBerry LimitedInventor: Tomasz Buczek

Patent number: 8533585Abstract: Displaying tabular information in a user interface (UI) on a display screen is enhanced by freezing selected non-adjacent columns (rows). Freezing ensures the display of the selected non-adjacent columns (rows) when scrolling to bring other columns (rows) into the table for display. Border rows (columns) may also be frozen when scrolling. A table in a document navigable by moving a focus to scroll the document may be displayed by a UI control configured to automatically display the frozen border rows (columns). When scrolling a focus in the document at an edge of the display screen to bring the UI control into the display, the UI control aligns a portion of the table with the edge and paints the frozen border row (column). The UI control maintain the display of the border row (column) when scrolling through the table.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2010Date of Patent: September 10, 2013Assignee: Blackberry LimitedInventor: Tomasz Buczek

Patent number: 8462679Abstract: A mobile communication device is associated with a home wireless carrier that is identifiable by a home carrier identification stored in its memory. The mobile device also maintains a stored list of a plurality of carrier identifications, where each carrier identification is stored in association with one of a plurality of top-level domains. The mobile device reads the home carrier identification from the memory, and selects one of the plurality of top-level domains that is stored in association with the home carrier identification. During operation, the mobile device reads a specified domain name in response to a user-initiated request made via a Web browser or search application. Then, the mobile device produces a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) request with a Uniform Resource Locator (URL) having the selected top-level domain and a second-level domain corresponding to the specified domain name. The HTTP request with the URL is submitted via the wireless communication network.Type: GrantFiled: February 27, 2009Date of Patent: June 11, 2013Assignee: Research In Motion LimitedInventors: Tomasz Buczek, Kalu Onuka Kalu, Sanjay Kalyanasundaram
