Apparatus, method and computer products are provided for remote network access and management of mobile terminals. The mobile terminal executes a web server application that allows remote network devices to access the mobile terminal. In addition, the mobile device executes a content engine that provides the ability to access databases, services and devices associated with the mobile terminal. The invention provides greater flexibility in accessing and managing the data stored on the mobile terminal and provides for remote control of the services and devices associated with the mobile terminal.

Remote management and access of databases, services and devices associated with a mobile terminal

A method and system for integrated personal content access have been disclosed. The system includes a gateway which is able to communicate across devices, coordinating media content distribution among the devices and users. The gateway can seamlessly switch or copy content streams from one device to another, even if the devices use different formats or protocols. Tags can be used for adding embellishments to content on the fly for viewing by the user or by others. Tokens for indicating the identity and source of content, along with a location within the content, can also be used when sharing content or when switching content viewing between devices. Additionally, a network of gateways is possible, where content may be shared between devices connected to different gateways.

An alert signal of a communication device (), such as the ring signal of a mobile phone, comprises a set of musical samples that are played by the communication device in sequence. The sequence may be randomly generated, either in response to the event causing the alert or in a set up phase. Alternatively, the user of the device can create a tune to be used as the alert signal by creating a sequence of samples. The user selects samples from a list of samples to create the sequence of samples as individual samples may appear more than once in the tune.

Alert signal generation

The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for providing a notification of a received message when the user may not have received the initial alert. An auto notification feature is provided, such that if the apparatus upon receiving a message detects no movement, then an additional alert is provided upon the apparatus detecting a movement. Also, if the user has not acknowledged the receipt of a message, then the most efficient method of providing alert is used for all the subsequent messages received.

An improved liquid crystal display (LCD) system that includes a user-selectable method for reducing the amount of electrical power consumed by the LCD. When a power-conservation mode is selected, power-conservation circuitry acts upon the pixel activation sequence as normally determined by the LCD driver. To minimize power consumption, a subset of the pixels otherwise to be activated are sent no power. The subset of no-power pixels may be a fixed percentage, such as fifty percent, or may vary according to the image being displayed. In either case, the pixel elements of the no-power subset may be alternated so as to minimize the impact of the power-conservation feature on the displayed image.
