A single content region in a chat history display is used to display entries representative of a plurality of messages corresponding to all chat histories for all of chat threads currently engaged in by a given mobile terminal. Additionally, a buddy list display supports management of chat buddies, a detail view display allows otherwise truncated messages to be displayed, and a text message editor display supports the composition of text messages. Each chat user may designate public display identifiers for purposes of identification to other chat users. Additionally, each user may designate private display identifiers for each of his/her buddies, which private display identifiers may be used to replace the public display identifiers for that user's buddies when displayed on the user's mobile terminal. In this manner, the use of speech and text based group chatting and similar services in wireless communication environments is more readily enabled.

Voice and text group chat display management techniques for wireless mobile terminals

Systems and methods receive input from a flexible display. A flexible display displays an image with at least one graphical user interface element and receives input from a user by flexing of the flexible display. At least one flexing sensor characterizes a flexing of the flexible display, and a user input controller receives a characterization of an initial flexing of the flexible display, determines, as an initial determination, that the initial flexing is a bending of the flexible display along a first line that is located within a first threshold distance from a proximate graphical user interface element, and provides, based on the initial determination, a user selection corresponding to the proximate graphical user interface element.

Multi-bend display activation adaptation

Systems and methods control resizing a presentation of an image on a flexible display. An initial presentation of an image is provided on a flexible display. A first flexing of the flexible display away from an unflexed configuration is determined and a return of the flexible display to the unflexed configuration is determined within a defined time period after determining the first flexing. A second flexing of the flexible display away from the unflexed configuration is determined within the defined time period after determining the first flexing and after determining the return. The first flexing is separate from the second flexing. At least a portion of the initial presentation is resized in a first manner in response to determining the first flexing and in response to determining the second flexing within the defined time period after determining the first flexing.

Image magnification based on display flexing

Systems, methods and apparatus are described for displaying visual information on a deformable display device, and for compensating for distortion of images of the visual information that results from the deformation of the display device and the viewing orientation of a viewer of the display device, or for improving or enhancing the displayed visual information in response to the deformation of the display device and the viewing position of the viewer.

System and method for bendable display

A method, system and apparatus for coordinating call status are provided. When a call directed to both a first communication device and a second communication device was answered at the first communication device, the second communication device is notified that the call was answered, such that the second communication device records a status of the call as answered.

Method and apparatus for coordinating answered call status

Systems and methods determine likely unintended flexing of a flexible display and exclude the determined unintended flexings from user input processing. Unintended flexings include placing or removing the flexible display into or out of a compact storage configuration, folds that outside the user's visible area, folds that are near edges and boundaries, flexing with a specified degree of bending or orientation, folds that don't intersect with other folds, folds that are near known unintended folds, folds that have a motion or other variation with time, and folds that are not in proximity to a selectable user interface element. Unintended flexings are adaptively identified by determining that a bend that is not in proximity to a selectable user interface element reoccurs at times when icons at different locations are presented on the flexible display.

Systems and methods control resizing a presentation of an image on a flexible display. A user flexes a flexible display in a particular manner to control magnification or size reduction of the image presented on the display. The amount of magnification or size reduction of the image presented on a flexible display increases along with the absolute magnitude of flexible display flexing. The flexible display can be double flexed within a defined time to indicate that another action is to be taken, such as fitting the presently displayed document to the width of the flexible display or fitting the entire document to the flexible display. The direction of flexing, such as flexing in a concave or a convex direction, is a flexing characteristic that causes other desired actions.

Methods and devices for allowing a wireless communication device () initially unauthorized for communication with a network to obtain persistent soft network subscription credential information () from a wireless communication device () initially authorized for communication with the network are disclosed. In performing the persistent transfer of the soft network subscription credential information (), one of a token management module (), a session initiation protocol communication module (), or a electronic rights manager () may be used to ensure that only one communication device is capable of communicating with a network at any one time.

Methods and systems for identity management in wireless devices

At an audio source, pause information is added to audio data, the combination of which is subsequently packetized. The resulting packets are transmitted to an audio destination via a network in which different packets may be subjected to varying levels of delay. At the audio destination, the pause information may be used to insert pauses at appropriate times to accommodate the occurrence of delays in packet delivery. In one embodiment, pauses are inserted based on a hierarchy of pause types. During pauses, audio filler information may be injected. In this manner, the effects of variable network delays upon reconstructed audio may be mitigated.

Method and apparatus for encoding and decoding pause information

A system and method for providing chat group services to wireless mobile terminals is disclosed. The chat forum permits integrated voice and text messaging. The system includes plural mobile terminals, each being capable of running a chat client application. A server complex is connected to one or more wireless carrier networks by way of a packet-based network, such as the Internet. The server complex includes server applications and components for supporting the chat group services and communicating with the chat clients on the mobile terminals. The system also includes features that permit the integration of legacy mobile terminals, communication with machine interfaces using a chat metaphor, and robustness and reliability of operation across various wireless operators.
