Title: Predictive text input system for a mobile communication device
Inventor: GRIFFIN JASON T
IPC: G06F3/023
Filed: 2004-02-20
Abstract: A predictive text system and method are provided for use with a mobile device having a
reduced-key QWERTY keyboard, a display, and an alert mechanism. The system includes an
ambiguous word list and a predictive text system software module. The ambiguous word list
comprises a plurality of keystroke combinations, each keystroke combination representing a
plurality of key selections on the reduced-key QWERTY keyboard, wherein the keystroke
combinations present in the ambiguous word list are associated with more than one common
predicted word. The predictive text system module receives an input keystroke combination from
the reduced-key QWERTY keyboard and determines a predicted word for the input keystroke
combination, wherein the predicted word is displayed on the display of the mobile device. If the
input keystroke combination is present in the ambiguous word list, then the predictive text system
module engages the alert mechanism on the mobile device.

Abstract: The method for the optimization of services in a radio communications network comprising
base stations intended to establish radio links via dedicated or shared channel with mobile
stations comprises the steps of
   a) measuring a radio link parameter on the basis of a signal transmitted between at
least one base station and a mobile station,   b) analyzing said radio link parameter to determine whether it meets a predefined
criterion, and establishing a radio link between the base station and the mobile station via
dedicated channel if the predefined criterion is met, and,   c) if the predefined criterion is not met, estimating the radial speed of the mobile station
with regard to the base station, and deciding whether to establish a radio link between the
base station and the mobile station via dedicated channel or shared channel, the decision
being based on whether the estimated radial speed is below, between or above a set of
predetermined speed thresholds.

Abstract: A mobile telephone battery cover locking mechanism includes at least one
latching member and at least one spring loaded locking member adapted to securely
engage the latching member at one end when the latching member is fully inserted
in at least one spacing provided at that end. The latching member forces the spring
loaded locking member to move against the spring bias when the latching member is
being inserted in the spacing with the spring loaded locking member having moved
under the spring bias when the latching member is fully inserted in the spacing. The
spring loaded locking member may be moved against the spring bias to allow the
fully inserted latching member to disengage from the spring loaded locking member.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and methodology to facilitate
collaboration and communications between entities such as between automated
applications, parties to a communication and/or combinations thereof. The systems and
methods of the present invention include a service that supports collaboration and
communication by learning predictive models that provide forecasts of one or more
aspects of a users' presence and availability. Presence forecasts include a user's current
or future locations at different levels of location precision and usage of different devices
or applications. Availability assessments include inferences about the cost of interrupting
a user in different ways and a user's current or future access to one or more
communication channels. The predictive models are constructed from data collected by
considering user activity and proximity from multiple devices, in addition to analysis of
the content of users' calendars, the time of day, and day of week, for example. Various
applications are provided that employ the presence and availability information supplied
by the models in order to facilitate collaboration and communications between entities.

Abstract: A cluster router architecture and methods for performing distributed routing is
presented. Implementations include off-the shelf Personal Computer (PC)
hardware. The cluster router architecture includes PC-based router cluster
nodes toroidally interconnected in an intra-connection network in multiple
dimensions. The cluster router may further make use of a management node.
Each router cluster node is provided with the same routing functionality and a
node centric configuration enabling each router cluster node by itself or
multiple router cluster nodes in the cluster router to provide routing responses
for packets pending processing. The method divides packet processing into
entry packet processing and routing response processing; and exit processing.
Entry packet processing and routing response processing is performed by
router cluster nodes receiving packets from communication networks in which
the cluster router participates. Exit packet processing is performed by router
cluster nodes transmitting packets into communication networks in which the
cluster router participates. Advantages are derived from: a configurable, and
scalable cluster router design providing a high routing capacity using cost
effective stock PC hardware; from the toroidal topology of the intra-connection
network which provides a high degree of diversity ensuring resilience to
equipment failure, and from the use of the star topology of the management
links which reduces management overheads in the intra-connection network.
