Systems and methods are described for providing a administration mechanism for wireless systems. In an embodiment, a mobile wireless server including a plurality of parameters that may be set to configure a mobile wireless client. The mobile wireless server also includes at least one computer program to set one or more of the parameters. The computer programs permit a user of at least one of the wireless clients to select a desired mode of operation for one or more of the wireless clients. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Administration of policies for wireless devices in a wireless communication system

There is disclosed a system and method for geotagging objects on a mobile handheld communication device. In an embodiment, the method comprises: providing a user interface with a plurality of user selectable options for obtaining geographic location coordinates; receiving a user selection of one of the plurality of options; and tagging an object with the geographic location coordinates obtained from the selected one of the plurality of options. In another embodiment, the method may further comprise obtaining from an active global positioning system (GPS) module the geographic location coordinates for a current location to tag the object. The method may further comprise providing previously saved geographic location coordinates to tag the object. The object may be an image object.

System and method for selecting a geographic location to associate with an object

Apparatus and methods for wireless systems provide a mechanism to enhance the communication capabilities of wireless users. In an embodiment, a server includes a processor that manages information in a database of the server, regulates, using instructions of a policy service in the server, communication of information from each of the clients to other entities, maintains reconfiguration policy with instructions having a sequencing procedure to provide the configuration data and a hierarchy identifying which of the clients controls re-supplying the configuration data to the server, controls, using instructions of a share agent in the server in conjunction with the instructions of the policy service, dissemination of information to one or more of the clients from the database on a shared basis, and manages the database, the router, the policy service, and the share agent using the processor in the server.

Wireless communication systems

A system and method are provided to organize updates on a mobile device. The organization of the updates can be controlled according to something detectable on the mobile device which can be correlated to something detectable in the updates. For example, updates to be displayed on the mobile device can be organized based on context provided by the mobile device, such that more relevant updates are distinguishable from those that may be less relevant. In this way, all updates are accessible to the user, but those that are deemed to be particularly relevant may be more visible and more easily accessed to avoid the need to sort through or scroll through large lists of new updates.

System and method for controlling updates on a mobile device

Apparatus and methods for wireless systems provide a mechanism to enhance the communication capabilities of wireless users. In an embodiment, data associated with information acquired in wireless entities is synced among the wireless entities based on a privacy status and verification of identities corresponding to the privacy status. The wireless entities include a wireless server and a set of mobile wireless clients of the wireless server. In an embodiment, a mobile wireless client is configured to browse files in a wireless server. In an embodiment, a wireless server is configured to provide views of its file content to a mobile wireless client authorized to view the file content of the wireless server.

Apparatus and methods for coordination of wireless systems

Systems and methods for are provided for administration a mobile wireless client with more than one wireless servers. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Administration of wireless systems

Devices and methods are provided for managing the identity of media content data. A server node processes metadata associated with a plurality of media content data files to generate a corresponding master identifier for each of the media content data files. A client node then provides the server node a first set of metadata corresponding to a media content data file that has no associated master identifier. In turn, the server node processes the first set of metadata to identify a corresponding master identifier and a second set of associated metadata, which it provides to the client node. The client node processes the second set of metadata to identify a matching set of metadata stored in its database of identification data and metadata. If found, the client node associates the master identifier with a second media content data file corresponding to the matching set of metadata.

Efficient multiple identity system for media files

Systems and methods for wireless systems provide a mechanism for resource sharing. In an embodiment, an electronic communication is routed between mobile wireless clients without first processing the electronic communication through an external domain. In an embodiment, an e-mail message is routed between mobile wireless clients without first processing the e-mail message through an external e-mail domain identified in the e-mail message. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.

Information exchange in wireless servers that bypass external domain servers

Apparatus and methods for wireless systems provide a mechanism to enhance the communication capabilities of wireless users. In an embodiment, a system includes a wireless server communicatively operable with a set of mobile wireless clients, where the wireless server has a share agent configured to control dissemination of information from a database on a shared basis responsive to a determination of a privacy state of the information. In an embodiment, a mobile wireless device has an integrated management system operable with a controller. The management system is configured to manage the mobile wireless device operable as a multiple-mode wireless client to each wireless server of a set of wireless servers such that information may be shared among the mobile wireless device and the set of wireless servers.

Systems and methods for wireless systems provide a mechanism for resource sharing. In an embodiment, e-mail messages is routed between mobile wireless clients without first processing the e-mail message through an external e-mail domain identified in the e-mail message. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Information exchange in wireless servers

Apparatus and methods for wireless systems provide a mechanism to enhance the communication capabilities of wireless users. In an embodiment, a mobile wireless device is configured to access and control an application executable on a wireless server. In an embodiment, a wireless server is configured to execute an application resident on the wireless server under the control of a set of commands from a mobile wireless device. In various embodiments, the executed application can be an application different from an application to maintain and control a wireless communication link between the mobile wireless device and the wireless server.
