Systems, methods and interfaces are disclosed for managing communications associated with a mobile communication device. Mobile communication devices process environmental inputs and transmit mobile communication device context information to a communication management system. The context information may, for example, reflect the motion and / or geographic location of the mobile device, and may reflect the risk associated with using the device to handle a call or other communications session. The communication management system uses the context information, optionally in combination with communication device profiles, to determine how to manage incoming and / or ongoing calls or other communication sessions. Mobile device users may also be inhibited from initiating communication sessions.

A method, system, and / or apparatus for automatically tracking a mobile user using the user's mobile device. This invention is particularly useful in the field of social media, such as for detecting and tracking the location and activity of a user and her community. The method or implementing software application uses or relies upon location information available on the mobile device from any source, such as cell phone usage and / or other device applications. The social media system can automatically determine a location type and / or user activity from context information. The context information can include current and past location and user and / or community information, time-dependent information, and third party information. The automated location and context information allows for users to set triggering conditions for other users, such as to provide an alert to one user or more users upon a particular action of the monitored other user being automatically determined by the system.

The disclosure generally relates to a method and apparatus for Low-Energy Bluetooth (BLE) synchronization. In one embodiment, the disclosure enables BLE devices enabled with both BLE and IEEE 802.11 radios to synchronization using a non-BLE beacon signal. The beacon signal and available shared information between corresponding BLE devices are used to synchronize the BLE devices. In an exemplary method, the first BLE device receives a beacon signal having a reference timestamp and determines a first time-offset as a function of the reference timestamp. The first BLE device then selects an event time window as a function of the first time-offset and conducts a BLE event (advertising or scanning) during the event time window. The second BLE device also uses the beacon signal and the shared information to complement the first device's event by one of advertising or scanning.

A method of displaying a select image on an Internet enabled mobile comprising a power supply, a memory, a processor and a screen preconfigured by a supplier of the mobile device to assume a dormant mode having a basic display that draws minimal power from the battery, with at most a basic display in a small part of the screen; the method comprising the steps of: (i) reprogramming the mobile device to display an image instead of the basic display while mobile device is otherwise dormant, by overriding the dormant screen mode, (ii) downloading a select image to a memory of the mobile device from an Internet source; (iii) displaying the select image on the screen instead of the basic display of the minimal power dormant mode, wherein the basic display is replaced by an enhanced display requiring more power than the basic display of the dormant mode.

Reducing power while in standby mode may comprise monitoring for an occurrence of at least one event requiring a transition out of a standby mode while utilizing a lower frequency, less accurate, and low power standby clock signal while operating in the standby mode. After receiving the occurrence of the event, an identity of the received event may be determined. In response to receiving the event, based on the determined identity of the event, a first and / or a second clock signal may be enabled, which has higher frequency and better accuracy and consumes more power than the standby clock signal. If the first and / or second clock signal is enabled, they may be disabled in order to re-enter the standby mode, which utilizes the standby clock signal while in standby mode.
