20100015973 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING NETWORK SCANNING USING BLACK-LIST NETWORK INFORMATION - An apparatus and method is provided for making use of black-list network information to make scanning more efficient in multi-mode mobile devices. When performing a scan for a network, if a network that is blacklisted is found, scanning is discontinued for any network that has the same radio access technology as the network that was found. Thus, excessive scanning that can be costly for the mobile device in terms of battery life and responsiveness to provide service, is avoided. | 01-21-2010 |
20100210281 | Method and Apparatus for Location Request Tracking - A method and apparatus for tracking location requests. The apparatus includes a storage device; a display and a processor configured to receive a location request and write location request data to a storage device. | 08-19-2010 |
20110159895 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ALLOWING VARIED FUNCTIONALITY BASED ON MULTIPLE TRANSMISSIONS - A method and apparatus for allowing varied functionality between a sending entity and a receiving entity, the method sending a first message from the sending entity to the receiving entity utilizing a first protocol, detecting an indication that the receiving entity did not recognize the first message or that the receiving entity did not fulfill a request in the first message, and sending a second message from the sending entity to the receiving entity utilizing a second protocol. | 06-30-2011 |
20110276701 | System and Method to Trigger a Mobile Device in Different Domains Based on Unsuccessful Initialization or Handover - A system to promote communication in a second domain responsive to a failure in a first domain. The system includes a first domain for communicating, and a second domain for communicating. The system includes a rejection message and a mobile device. The rejection message transmitted upon a failure of a call in the first domain. The mobile device configured to communicate in both the first domain and the second domain. The mobile device configured to attempt the call in the second domain responsive to receiving the rejection message in the first domain. | 11-10-2011 |
