Systems and methods for automatically converting digital content from an incompatible to a compatible target DRM scheme are disclosed. In one embodiment, a user device transmits a request to a content server for digital content, the request including a target DRM scheme compatible with the user device. The content server determines that the requested target DRM scheme is incompatible with the native DRM scheme of the content server. A DRM matching server obtains the requested content from the content server and converts the content from the native DRM scheme to the target DRM scheme. The DRM matching server transmits the reformatted content to the user's device. Alternatively, the DRM matching server transmits the reformatted content to the content server, which transmits it to the user device. A user device includes any device capable of utilizing digital content, including cellular telephones, PDAs, audio file players, and video content display devices.

System for detecting and converting digital rights management profiles

An application development system comprises a test-enable authority configured to store test-enable software for a plurality of mobile communication devices. In order to develop new applications, e.g. BREW applications, for a mobile communication device, the mobile communication device should be 'test-enabled.' Mobile communication devices can be test-enabled using test-enable software that can, for example, be downloaded from the test-enable authority by a software developer. In one aspect, the test-enable software can install on the developer's computer, run a predetermined number of times and then uninstall. This allows communication device manufacturers to control the number of test-enabled communication devices in the market. In addition, this can save time, money, and effort for communication device manufacturers as well as developers.

Systems and methods for rapidly enabling brew-based wireless handsets for content development

A device and method for providing a control arm integral to a portable electronic device are disclosed. An exemplary device comprises a portable electronic device having a processor communicably coupled with a memory and a control arm, and an enclosure housing the memory and processor and defining a reference surface that defines a reference axis. The control arm has a deployed and a stowed configuration where the control arm length, as measured along the reference axis, is reduced in the stowed configuration.
