20170346952 · 2017-11-30 ·

Disclosed are a telephone-number-based information loading method and device, wherein the method comprises steps of: detecting a telephone number in current display contents on a terminal side; determining whether the telephone number carries a feature identifier; and if yes, then generating a dial option control that is based on the telephone number in the current display contents, and/or invoking entry information of a webpage type service previously associated with the telephone number. According to the present invention, it is possible to conserve bandwidth resources, while preventing the occurrence of a situation in which a user mistakenly enters a dangerous website because of a search error, resulting in a security threat or other losses.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CROSS-MODALITY COMMUNICATION
20170339264 · 2017-11-23 ·

A multi-modality electronic communication method for communication via end-user selected communication modalities, including (at a server, having access to memory table/s operative to store, for each end user from among a multiplicity thereof, destinations via which the individual end user receives communications via a corresponding plurality of communication modalities): receiving communication/s from Tx client processor/s serving a Tx end user, the communication including content the Tx end user wishes to send to an Rx end user; and an indication of a known destination of an Rx end user, when a first communication modality is employed; extracting the known destination from the communication and retrieving from the table, a retrieved destination other than the known destination via which the Rx end user receives communications via a second communication modality; and sending the content to the Rx end user via the second communication modality to the retrieved destination.

DYNAMIC CONTACT SUGGESTIONS BASED ON CONTEXTUAL RELEVANCE
20170329793 · 2017-11-16 ·

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for providing contact suggestions. In one aspect, rendering of a file created with an application in a user interface may be initiated. The file may include at least one collaboration feature. In response to receiving an indication of interest made with respect to the at least one collaboration feature, a plurality of contacts and an associated relevancy score for each of the plurality of contacts may be received. The plurality of contacts may be sorted by the associated relevancy score for each of the plurality of contacts. At least some of the plurality of contacts may be displayed within a picker displayed on the user interface based on the associated relevancy score.

AUTOMATED CALL HANDLING BASED ON CONTEXT OF CALL

An indication of a call from a first device to a second device is received. The indication includes making the call by a first user using the first device to a second user using the second device. Contextual information about the first user of the first device is received. User preferences of the second user receiving the call using the second device are determined. Responsive to determining the user preferences of the second user of the second device, an action the second device will take is determined based on the user preferences of the second user and the contextual information about the first user.

Short range wireless location/motion sensing devices and reporting methods

Short range wireless location and motion sensing devices and reporting methods are provided herein. An example device includes a housing configured to couple with a power port of a vehicle. The housing includes a wireless interface, a motion sensor that senses at least one of velocity, acceleration, and orientation of the vehicle, a processor and a memory that stores logic that is executed by the processor to receive motion signals from the motion sensor and transmit the motion signals on the wireless interface to a mobile device that is communicatively coupled with the wireless adapter.

CLOUD-BASED CONTACTS MANAGEMENT

Various embodiments disclosed herein provide for a system for managing and adding contacts. A first mobile device can display an image that can be recorded by a second mobile device. Similarly, the first mobile device can record an image displayed by the second mobile device. The image data from each mobile device can be transmitted to a cloud based contact management system, which can match the images to contact information associated with each mobile device. The contact management system can then push the contact details of each mobile device to the other mobile device, and/or link social media accounts associated with each mobile device. The contact management system can also store connection records that represent an ongoing authorization to push contact information changes from each user to the other, respectively.

Information system with detachable information module

A unitary handheld portable module includes a keypad for entering data and a display for displaying data. A base module is configured to be coupled with and communicate through a telephone line and includes a keypad for dialing a telephone number and a display for displaying information. The portable and base modules are configured to have a mounted configuration in which the portable module is removably mounted on the base module and covers the base module's display, and the modules communicate with each other for the portable module's display to display information relating to operation of the base module.
