Abstract: A vehicle system may include a communication device configured to receive road data. The system may also include an application, having a processor and a memory, configured to analyze the road data in view of the at least one vehicle attribute included in vehicle data. The application may also determine whether the road data is relevant and transmit, in response to the road data being relevant, a command to a display unit to display information based on the analysis of the road data.

Abstract: A method of sharing a streaming content item to a target user equipment (UE) device on a network includes identifying a UE device on the network that is currently receiving the content item. The method determines whether the target and source UE devices are serviced by a common base station. If they are, the method commands the base station to multicast the content item to the UE device and the target UE device. The method also includes sharing a content item stored on a first UE device with a second UE device by commanding the first UE device to send the content item to the second UE device without going through the network or by commanding the first UE device to upload the content item to the base station and then downloading the content item from the base station to the first UE device.

Abstract: A mobile device includes a transceiver that receives data from a network, and transmits data to the network, an input interface that receives input data from a user of the device, and a processor. The processor is configured to receive an input from the input interface indicating a desired quality of service (QoS) requested by the user for a communication session through the network. The processor is also configured to append a code corresponding to the desired QoS to a session initiation protocol (SIP) invite message relating to set-up of the communication session, and transmit the SIP invite message to the network by the transceiver to control the network to provide the desired QoS during communication between the mobile device and another device via the communication session through the network.

Abstract: A call is made from a user equipment (UE) device to a first other UE device that is paired to a short range communications device. The first other UE device monitors the respective connections between short range communications device and the first other UE device and a second other UE device and automatically hands over the telephone call from the first other UE device to the second other UE device when the connection between the short range communications device and the second other UE device is stronger than the connection between the short-range communications device and the other first UE device. The cordless headset 172 is concurrently handed off from the first other UE device to the second other UE device.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for synchronizing automated reply configuration settings between different messaging services for an individual user of a mobile device. User account information and an authentication key are registered at a server of a first messaging service associated with the mobile device and a second messaging service associated with a client of the second messaging service. In response to a request for access to an automated reply function of the first messaging service from the client of the second messaging service, it is determined whether or not the client is authorized for access based on a comparison of authentication information included in the client's request with the authentication key registered for the mobile device. If the client is authorized successfully, the client is allowed to access the automated reply function in accordance with configuration information specified in the request from the client.

Abstract: A server receives a service personnel identification verification request from a computing device. The request includes identification information obtained via the computing device from a security badge. The computer determines whether there is a security concern with the identification information by comparing the identification information to stored service personnel information in a service personnel database. A response is sent to the computing device indicating the result of the determination, for presentation to a user who may be interacting with a person having the security badge.

Abstract: An NFC-enabled mobile device is used to select one or more items identified on a menu of a business establishment. The mobile device transmits an order for the selected items to a server of the establishment when the mobile device is brought within range of a near field communication terminal at the premises of the establishment. The mobile device receives a message from the server of the establishment via the wireless transceiver of the device. Based on the information from the message, the mobile device presents to the customer an indication of the status of fulfillment of the order. An initial order of the selection may be sent prior to the order by the mobile device through NFC or other networks, or may be sent via a different device.
