An apparatus, and an associated method, estimates a time zone at which an electronic device, such as a wireless device, is positioned. Parameters, such as a mobile country code, a GMT offset, a daylight savings time parameter, and geo location parameters are all candidate parameters from which to make an estimate. Received parameters are identified, and selectably used to obtain an estimate that is matched or verified to ensure likely accuracy.

Apparatus, and associated method, for estimating a time zone at which a device is positioned

The present specification relates to a portable electronic device comprising at least one processor; a display connected to the processor and controllable by the processor; and non-volatile storage configured to maintain a plurality of applications and an application programming interface for enabling generation and control of a title bar, wherein the application programming interface includes a private part for managing the state of the title bar and a public part that provides an interface to the applications.

Management of device settings via a plurality of interfaces

This application pertains to methods and apparatus to perform time zone determination by a mobile station. One example method for use in a device includes transmitting a messaging service message to a server via a communication network, the messaging service message to be used to determine a time zone for the device, and receiving the time zone for the device from the server. Other examples are shown and described.

Methods and apparatus to perform time zone determination by a mobile station

This application pertains to methods and apparatus to perform time zone determination by a mobile station. One example method for use in a communication device includes determining a geographical location and universal time for the device; determining a time zone for the device based on the geographical location; determining a time for the device based on the universal time and the time zone; using the determined time in applications operable on the device, wherein the applications operable on the device comprise applications other than the application used to determine the geographical location. Other examples are shown and described.

A method for dynamically providing location-based services, including receiving at least one user input indicating a request for a suggested point of interest; and generating a query based on the user input and a time reference. In addition, the generated query can be processed to identify a plurality of points of interest. The points of interest can be presented to a user.

Intelligent location-based services

A method () for dynamically providing location-based services based, at least in part, on time (), current detected information (), historical information (), contextual information (), user preferences () and/or a user input ().

A wireless communication device, peripheral accessories, and corresponding methods are arranged and constructed to automatically operate the peripheral accessoriesby communicating network information to the wireless communication device so the device may locate and download, via a network, operating programs for use with the accessories.
