A system, method, and apparatus for integrating active interest information with an address book are provided. Active interest information is indicative of a current or ongoing interest of a first user and may be generated based on use of an application client by the first user. The active interest information is used to update an active interest field in a contact record describing the first user in an address book associated with a second user. The contact record may be updated by an address book client or a converged address book server. Provided is a converged address book server that manages the sharing and updating of active interest information and address books. The active interest information may also be updated using a personal contact card associated with the first user. Also provided is a method and apparatus for prompting communication between contacts based on active interest information.

A content delivery system, a mobile subscriber terminal and method for mediated access to a data facade are generally described herein. In some embodiments, the mobile subscriber terminal includes one or more applications that may request advertisements, a mediator client, and a delivery client operating as a data facade that interfaces with a delivery server. The mediator client may generate an application profile based on advertising preferences of the applications and may register with the data facade using the application profile. The mediator client may identify, filter and select advertisements to provide targeted content in response to requests from the applications.

Method and system for mediated access to a data facade on a mobile device

A system and method are provided for extracting a portion of content from a data item and separately displaying such content on a secondary display screen such as an interactive display (e.g. touch-sensitive or clickable display) that enables interactive content portions to be extracted from the data item and provided separately from the remaining content to both free up space on a primary display screen and maintain visibility of the interactive content, while permitting navigation within the remaining content. Such extraction of content is particularly advantageous for separating logos (e.g. those used for brand recognition (passive), those providing home page links (active), etc.), advertising, and M-commerce (e.g. 'buy now' or 'add to cart' buttons). By using interactive secondary displays, the extracted content item can target interactive content portions that allow easy access to features without having to navigate within the main content each time.

System and method for extracting content from a data item to separately display portions of such data

A method for providing presence-related information is provided. The method includes creating a template of presence parameters for an application, storing the template, a presence access layer retrieving the template, the presence access layer using the template to create a profile of at least one presence parameter for the application, and the presence access layer using the profile to specify a presence-related action for the application.

System for assignment of a service identifier as a mechanism for establishing a seamless profile in a contextually aware presence access layer

Methods and apparatus to forward documents in a communication network are disclosed. An example method to forward a resource in an extensible markup language (XML) document management (XDM) system disclosed herein comprises receiving an XML document command protocol (XDCP) forward request specifying a first identifier corresponding to the resource to be forwarded and a list of recipients to be notified, the first identifier comprising a uniform resource identifier (URI), and notifying a recipient in the list of recipients that the resource is available.

Methods and apparatus to forward documents in a communication network

A method for authoring and sending from a network element and receiving at a mobile device, rich media, the sending having the steps of checking whether the rich media includes discrete content; if yes, sending a low resolution version of the discrete content with the rich media; and subsequently sending a higher resolution version of the rich media. The receiving having the steps of receiving a low resolution version of the discrete content in the rich media; rendering the rich media; receiving a higher resolution fragment of the discrete content; and incrementally applying the higher resolution fragments to the low resolution version of the discrete content.

Method and system for progressive delivery and synchronization of discrete content in rich media services

A transport mechanism for supporting the download of SVG over FLUTE or UDP. A RTP payload format is specified that enables live streaming and the streaming of rich media content. According to the present invention, rich media content is encapsulated in RTP packets based upon the payload format at the sender. With the present invention, an efficient framework is provided for satisfying several use cases or scenarios that involve rich media transmission.

Transport mechanisms for dynamic rich media scenes

In a RTP stream having a plurality of FEC frames containing source blocks of media packets, random access points are inserted in front of the source blocks so as to allow a media decoder to decode the media packets as soon as FEC decoding is finished. In particular, the media packets contain forward error correction (FEC) source blocks for a multimedia broadcast/multicast-based streaming service content. As the multimedia broadcast/multicast streaming service includes dynamic interactive multimedia scene content where the source RTP packets of different media along with the FEC RTP packets are transmitted as separate RTP streams, the inclusion of the random access point facilitates immediate rendering of the dynamic interactive multimedia scene content after FEC decoding, thus reducing the tune-in latency.

Method and device for assembling forward error correction frames in multimedia streaming

A system and method for measuring the similarity between SVG documents. The present invention involves reducing the respective documents to their minimal logical representations and then analyzing the representations using tree isomorphism techniques. Applications can then use this comparison data to more efficiently perform actions such as content compression, content streaming and content searching.
