Systems and methods applicable, for instance, in proximity networking activity. For example, nodes and/or other computers may record, receive, and/or provide information regarding proximity networking activity. As another example, nodes and/or other computers may act to inform their users of proximity networking activity instances.

System and method for provision of proximity networking activity information

A mobile communication unit having a housing with at least one longitudinal side and a display area, and, a pivotably movable cover assembly longitudinally connected to the longitudinal side of the housing, the cover assembly being pivotably or slidably movable between a closed position and an open position relative to the housing and the display area, wherein pivotal or sliding movement of the cover assembly from the closed position to the open position provides widened access to the display area of the housing.

Mobile communication unit with display area widening mechanism

This invention describes a method for changing a keypad layout with keys (e.g., graphics and text) drawn on a display of an electronic device (e.g., wireless portable device, a mobile communication device or a mobile phone) and actuating said keys by a user of the electronic device using a transparent or translucent sensor-screen placed over said keys which are visible by the user. The transparent or translucent sensor-screen can be positioned partially or completely over the display. This invention enables different application/feature specific keypad configurations (shape, size, orientation, number of keys) for mobile devices.

A mobile terminal includes a memory storing application software and data that is descriptive of the use of the mobile terminal, a display and a controller that is coupled to the memory. The controller is responsive to the application software and to at least a sub-set of the stored data for visualizing on the display, in a graphical form, the use of the mobile station over a period of time. The controller preferably constructs a temporally-based visualization of the use of the mobile station, such as a timeline visualization of the use of the mobile station. The controller may further be responsive to the application software and to at least the sub-set of the stored data for automatically deriving a content of a user's web log (blog). A method is also disclosed to operate a mobile terminal having a memory storing application software and data that is descriptive of the use of the mobile terminal, and that further has a display and a controller coupled to the memory. The method includes selecting at least a portion of the data and constructing a blog that is indicative of the use of the mobile station over a period of time, as indicated by the selected portion of the data. The blog may include an animation that is indicative of the use of the mobile station over the period of time, and may also include textual data that is automatically generated in accordance with the use of the mobile station over the period of time.
