A device, system and method for screening of personally identifiable information is provided. An incident type of a particular incident is determined. Responsive to determining that potential evidence associated with the particular incident includes personally identifiable information, the potential evidence being of a particular evidence type including one or more of media and metadata generated by a user or a device associated with the user, a personally identifiable information processing mode is selected to process the potential evidence as a function of the incident type of the particular incident and an evidence type of the potential evidence. When selected mode is a storing mode, a record of the potential evidence is generated that included the personally identifiable information to be stored in an electronic storage device.

A method and apparatus associated with one or more wearable devices for a user includes utilizing the one or more wearable devices, for a set of functionality, in a first configuration by the user, wherein the user is in a specific role; communicating data, in a Personal Area Network (PAN), between the one or more wearable devices and between a mobile device associated with the user; and providing information to a recommendation engine, wherein the information is related to the specific role, the set of functionality, and the first configuration.

Method and apparatus for application optimization and collaboration of wearable devices

A method, system and device enable transferring an audio signal between devices of a single user. The method includes pairing, over a master-less communication link, a narrowband communication device operating in a narrowband communication system and a broadband communication device operating in a broadband communication system. A call is then established between the narrowband communication device and the narrowband communication system or between the broadband communication device and the broadband communication system. Next, an audio quality parameter is determined at least one of the narrowband communication device and the broadband communication device. An audio signal of the call is then transmitted, over the master-less communication link and in response to the audio quality parameter, from one to the other of the broadband communication device and the narrowband communication device.

Method and system for transferring an audio signal between devices of a single user

A method and apparatus are provided by which a radio communication device with multi-watch receivers improves the comprehension of a high-priority message when the high-priority message is overlapped in time with a normal-priority message. A first receiver of the radio communication device receives a first incoming message over a first channel, and a second receiver of the radio communication device receives a second incoming message over a second channel. The radio communication device, upon receiving the first and second incoming messages, detects that a portion of the first incoming message overlaps in time with a portion of the second incoming message. The radio communication device further determines whether at least one of the first or the second incoming message is a high-priority message and repeats the determined high-priority message when at least one of the first or second incoming messages is a high-priority message.

Intelligibility of overlapping audio

A communication construct used for sharing podcast information associated with a podcast can include a link sent to a remote device () while playing the podcast, appended metadata to the link, and a communication packet enabling a user to transfer the link and the appended metadata while the user is playing the podcast. The link can be a universal record locator (URL) to the podcast and the appended metadata can include constructs having start times or end times for the podcast, bookmarks for portions of the podcast, digital rights management information, display description, podcast category, or relevant images. The appended metadata can also include URLs for mobile blogging, a sender's weblog, a video blog, a social contact site, contact information from a sender, or a vCard record. The communication constructs enable podcatcher software in a user's computer or remote device to automatically download the podcast associated with the link.

Architecture for sharing podcast information

Methods and apparatus are provided for secure communication techniques in a communication system. The system can include a first device which communicates with a second device over a channel. A security association can be established during a first session between the devices via an asymmetric key exchange. The security association comprises a Traffic Encryption Key (TEK) and a first state vector. The TEK comprises a shared, secret symmetric key. The security association is stored in each of the devices for use during a second session between the devices to expedite security association establishment during call set-up of the second session. The security association can be associated with the second device in the first device, and with the first device in the second device. An updated state vector can be generated at the first device. A second session can be established between the first device and the second device by using the TEKs from the first session and the updated state vector. The security association can be used to encrypt voice packets being sent from the first device to the second device. The security association and updated state vector can then be used to decrypt the encrypted voice packets received by the second device from the first device.

Method and apparatus for fast secure session establishment on half-duplex point-to-point voice cellular network channels

Techniques are provided for secure group communications in a wireless dispatch system which includes a group of devices. The group of devices can include a first secure device which communicates with a plurality of second secure devices over a channel.

An encryption capable communication device () can include a transceiver (and) and a processor () coupled to the transceiver. The processor can be programmed to receive notification of a secure call alert indicative of a desire for secure communications between an alerting device and the encryption capable communication device serving as a recipient device and further cause the recipient device to switch () to a secure mode in response to receipt of the notification. The processor can be further programmed to initiate a key exchange () between the alerting device and the recipient device if needed and automatically respond () to the secure call alert by the recipient device in the secure mode when a user of the recipient device selectively responds to the secure call alert. The processor can also establish a symmetric traffic key during the key exchange using Automatic Public Key exchange techniques.

A method of producing a receive signal quality estimate in a subscriber unit (SU) located in a given geographic area covered by a wireless communication system of a kind in which a base station transmits downlink signals in a group of successive time frames directed to a set of geographic areas including an area in which the SU is located, wherein each of the group of successive time frames has signals aimed at a corresponding one of the set of geographic areas. The method comprises the steps of activating a receiver in the SU to listen over a determined listening interval that at least partly coincides with the group of successive time frames; measuring a signal strength of at least one downlink signal received by the SU receiver during the determined listening interval within one of, a time frame of the group of successive time frames corresponding to a geographic area in which the SU is located, and one other time frame of the group of successive time frames corresponding to a geographic area other than the geographic area in which the SU is located; and producing an estimate of receive signal quality at the SU according to a result of the measuring step.
