Smart address book service

A smart address book service configured to provide contextual information from a user's address book or contacts database so that when a user enters information into a device such as a smart phone, the service can correlate information from the contacts database with the user's entered information, look at additional context of what the user is doing/has done, and provide action options for the user to select. Thus, the service can discern what the user is likely trying to achieve based on contextual information provided by or through the smart phone, and pull corresponding data from the user's contacts database (on the user's equipment, e.g., smart phone, and/or from an address book associated with the user and stored on servers of the user's telecommunications service provider) as well as from the Internet to provide information necessary for the user to achieve the objective.

A mobile terminal and controlling method thereof are disclosed, by which image data of a counterpart having triggered an event can be displayed. The present invention may include a display unit configured to display information, a wireless communication unit configured to communicate with an external server that stores first image data and to communicate with a counterpart terminal, a memory to store a second image data, and a controller, in response to an event triggered by the counterpart terminal, to extract an image data related to a counterpart from one of the first image data and the second image data, and the controller to output the extracted image data on a portion of the display unit to notify an occurrence of the event.

Device, system and method for transmitting one or more of annotations and video prior to a video call

A device, system and method for transmitting one or more of annotations and video prior to a video call is provided. A communication device receives a request for a video call from a first communication device, of other communication devices. Prior to the video call being established, the communication device: determines whether a user of the first communication device is an authorized caller; and when the user of the first communication device is an authorized caller, transmits, to the first communication device, one or more of annotations received at the input device and video from a video camera. The determination of whether a user of the first communication device is an authorized caller is based on profile data associated with users of one or more of the other communication devices.

Device capable of notifying operation state change thereof through network and communication method of the device

A method of notifying a user of a message received by a first device of the user is provided. The method includes connecting, by the first device, to a second device of the user through a local communication network, wherein the second device is currently registered by the first device; receiving, by the first device, a message, from an external device of another user; in response to determining the first device is not currently being used when the message is received, determining whether the registered second device is currently being used; and transmitting notification information of the received message to the second device currently being used by the user, wherein a notification regarding the received message is displayed on a display of the second device currently being used by the user.
