The present disclosure discloses a man-machine dialogue mode switching method, which is applicable to an electronic device. The method includes receiving a current user sentence spoken by a current user; determining whether a dialogue field to which the current user sentence belongs is a preset dialogue field; if yes, switching the current dialogue mode to a full-duplex dialogue mode; and if not, switching the current dialogue mode to a half-duplex dialogue mode. In the present disclosure, the dialogue mode is switched by determining whether the dialogue field to which the current user sentence belongs is the preset dialogue field, and the dialogue mode can be automatically switched and adjusted according to the difference of the dialogue fields, such that the man-machine dialogue is always in the most suitable dialogue mode and can be realized smoothly.

Methods and systems for providing information regarding monitored computer systems to wireless devices are provided. Information may be requested by a wireless device and displayed on the wireless device in a browser. The web server application may detect the wireless device, and may also then specially format the response, including the requested information formatted for optimized delivery and/or display on a wireless device. The web server application may also send a message to a wireless device about events associated with the monitored computer systems.

Described herein are methods, devices, and systems that estimate a total amount of time it takes to discharge a battery of an IMD from initial to subsequent capacity levels, which total amount of time is indicative of a longevity of the IMD. In certain embodiments, a range of capacity levels for the battery is separated into N separate intervals. For each of the N intervals, an estimate of an amount of time it takes for the battery to discharge from a beginning to an end of the interval is determined, to thereby determine N amounts of time that are summed to estimate the total amount of time that it takes to discharge the battery from the initial to subsequent capacity levels. In other embodiments, an iterative equation is used to estimate the total amount of time takes it takes to discharge the battery from the initial to subsequent capacity levels.

Methods for providing contextual information about communication devices and/or services. Profile information indicating a user's communication devices and/or services is stored. When profile information or a message log is displayed, the user may identify a communication device and/or service. A query inquires whether the user would like contextual information. The contextual information may be obtained from a gateway in a data network or a telecommunications manager in a telecommunication network. The contextual information is displayed. Profile information about a user's communicating partner may be stored. When the user makes an effort to communicate with the partner, a check may be made of the partner's profile information for a preferred communication device and/or service. If the user does not have a communication device and/or service corresponding to that of the communicating partner, a query may inquire whether the user would like contextual information. If so, the contextual information is presented.

One example display method includes in response to receiving a display request from a target display device, determining a first display device and a second display device that support display of a target service, when a first distance between the first display device and a user is less than a. second distance between the second display device and the user, obtaining current first display data of the target service from the target display device and sending the current first display data to the first display device, and when that the first distance reported by the first display device is greater than the second distance reported by the second display device is subsequently obtained, obtaining current second display data of the target service from the target display device and sending the current second display data to the first display device and the second display device.

A system described herein may provide for decoupling user interfaces from backend input processing systems by receiving user input, identifying a journey state based on the received user input, identifying a set of templates based on the identified journey state, selecting a particular template from the set of templates based on a channel via which the user input was received (and/or one or more other factors), populating the template based on information associated with a User Equipment (“UE”) or user from which the input was received, and providing a journey page (e.g., based on the populated template) in response to the received user input.

Methods and systems are disclosed for managing the communications and information resources of a user. Identity information relating to the user is received. The user's preference for withholding an incoming communication is obtained. An entry is created in a message log for the withheld communication. The user is not notified of receipt of the withheld communication, yet receipt of the withheld communication is logged in the message log.
