Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/616,930, filed Dec. 28, 2006, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/495,779, filed on Jul. 31, 2006, the contents all of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- The present application relates generally to electronic devices and more particularly to a method and apparatus for configuring unique profile settings for multiple services in connection with which an electronic device is provisioned.
- Electronic devices such as wireless personal digital assistants (PDAs), smart telephones and laptop computers with wireless capabilities are well known for providing users with services such as e-mail, Web browsing, text messaging, etc. Such devices communicate over a wide variety of networks including data-only networks such as Mobitex and DataTAC as well as complex voice and data networks such as GSM/GPRS, CDMA, EDGE, UMTS and CDMA2000 networks.
- It is known to provide multiple user-selectable profiles (e.g. loud, discreet, quiet, etc.) for notifying or alerting the user to service activity (e.g. incoming call or e-mail message, calendar event, daily alarm, etc.). On device start-up, each application (e.g. calendar, e-mail, phone, etc.) registers with a profile system using a unique ID, to facilitate programming of an individual profile setting for each application.
- Some users may have multiple services that they wish to access through the device. For example, some users may wish to access multiple e-mail accounts, and other types of data services, all or some of which may be provided by different service providers.
- Although it is known to select a profile for application to a particular service, it would be desirable to apply a unique profile setting to each of multiple services (e.g. a unique profile setting for each of a user's multiple e-mail accounts).

FIGS. 8 , 9 and 10, 11, 12 and 13 are screen shots of the electronic device. - According to one aspect there is provided a method for configuring a unique profile for a service associated with an application in an electronic device, including: providing a profile system having multiple programmable profile settings and a default profile setting for the application; receiving a service record for the service; registering the service with the profile system using the service record; configuring the multiple programmable profile settings using profile data retrieved from the service record to provide the unique profile; and identifying the unique profile using a name retrieved from the service record; wherein if the service record does not include profile data, the default profile setting is used for the service.
- According to another aspect there is provided an apparatus for configuring unique profile settings for multiple services associated with an application in an electronic device, including: a profile system having multiple programmable profile settings and a default profile setting for the application; means for receiving service records for the multiple services; means for registering the multiple services with the profile system using a unique ID for each of the service records; and means for assigning unique profiles to each of the multiple services using data from the service records.
- According to another aspect there is provided a portable electronic device including: an antenna and radio device for receiving service records for multiple services associated with an application of the portable electronic device, at least one of the service records including unique profile data and a name corresponding to the unique profile data; a profiles system in communication with the application, the profile system including multiple programmable profile settings and a default profile setting corresponding to the application; a processor for programming at least one of the multiple programmable profile settings based on the unique profile data from the at least one service record and assigning the at least one of the multiple programmable profile settings to a corresponding one of the multiple services, the default profile setting being assigned to others of the multiple programmable profile settings; and a display screen for displaying a list of the multiple services, the corresponding one of the multiple services being identified by the name.
- By providing multiple unique profile settings for different services, the user may set a different ring tone, volume, etc., for each service (e.g. separate e-mail accounts) to which the user has subscribed.
- According to an additional aspect, the ID associated with each service for registration with the profile system also identifies a default root profile setting that permits later registration with the profile system in circumstances where no service record for the service has yet been downloaded to the device. This facilitates migration of profile settings that have been programmed before Over-the-Air (OTA) device synchronization following a software upgrade, or after a system restore operation.
- Reference is first made to
FIG. 1 , showing anelectronic device 100 based on the computing environment and functionality of a wireless personal digital assistant. It is, however, to be understood thatelectronic device 10 can include the construction and functionality of other electronic devices, such as desktop computers, cell phones, smart telephones, and laptops with wireless 802.11 or bluebook chip sets and the like. In one embodiment,electronic device 10 includes ahousing 12, which frames anLCD display 14, as well as aspeaker 16, anLED indicator 18, atrackwheel 20, anexit key 22 and akey pad 24.Trackwheel 20 andexit key 22 can be inwardly depressed to provide additional user-input. In the illustrated embodiment,LCD display 14 depicts asystem clock 25 and additional information, such as generated by a “Profiles”application 26, as discussed in greater detail below. - Turning briefly to
FIG. 2 , certain internal components within theelectronic device 10 are illustrated by way of a block diagram. Theelectronic device 10 is based on a microcomputer that includes aprocessor 46 connected to a read-only-memory (ROM) 48 that contains a plurality of applications executable by theprocessor 46 to enable theelectronic device 10 to provide certain services (e.g. calendar, e-mail, phone, etc.). Theprocessor 46 is also connected to a random access memory (RAM) 50 and apersistent storage device 52, which is responsible for various non-volatile storage functions of theelectronic device 10. Theprocessor 46 receives input frominput devices 54 such askey pad 24,trackwheel 20 and exit key 22 (FIG. 1 ). Theprocessor 46 outputs tooutput devices 56 such asLCD display 14,LED indicator 18 and speaker 16 (FIG. 1 ). Theprocessor 46 is also connected to aninternal clock 58 and aradio device 60 which, in turn, is connected to anantenna 61. Together, theradio device 60 and theantenna 61 are used to communicate over a wireless network. As discussed in greater detail below with reference toFIG. 3 , theelectronic device 10 is operable to receive and transmit communication signals containing data that is communicated to and from a communication system via theradio device 60 and theantenna 61. - Returning to
FIG. 1 ,LCD display 14 ofelectronic device 10 may be used to display different notification profiles using “Profiles”application 26. This allows the user to program customized notification or alerting profiles. A plurality of notification profiles is shown: Quiet 28, Discreet 30, and Loud 32. Each of these profiles can be customized by the manufacturer or by the user according to user preference, and can also be deleted or supplemented with additional profiles as desired. The following Table shows how each profile can be customized: -
An Example of Customizing Methods of Notification Mode of Notification Application Notification Behaviour Quiet Message Reader Type: Inaudible Tune: None Volume: Mute Daily Alarm Type: Audible Tune: Ring 2Volume: Low Discreet Message Reader Type: Audible & Inaudible Tune: Ring 3 Volume: Medium Daily Alarm Type: Audible Tune: Ring 1Volume: Low Loud Message Reader Type: Audible Tune: Ring 5 Volume: High Daily Alarm Type: Audible Tune: Ring 6 Volume: High - Checkmark 34, located beside the profile “Discreet”, in
FIG. 1 , indicates that the default mode of notification for the present example is Discreet 30.Trackwheel 20 can be used to scroll through the different profiles and to select a particular profile for each application (e.g. message reader (email), daily alarm, calendar, etc.). - As illustrated in the foregoing Table, each profile can give rise to a different notification output for various applications on
device 10, and notification behavior can be customized according to a variety of criteria, such as “type”, “tune” and “volume”. “Type” can be either audible or inaudible. Audible means a sound emanating fromspeaker 16 and inaudible means a light flashing fromLED indicator 18. “Tune” can be any tune chosen by the manufacturer or the user and programmed intodevice 10. This is the tune that would be played byspeaker 16 when “type” is set to audible. “Volume” determines the volume of the tune and in the present embodiment can be low, medium or high. - It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the foregoing Table is just one example of the way in which notifications can be customized. Furthermore, the specific types, tunes and volumes outlined in this Table are not particularly limited. Also the list of specific applications associated with each mode is not particularly limited and can match the complete set of applications on
device 10. - Turning now to
FIG. 3 , a communication system is shown over which theelectronic device 10 communicates. More particularly, asystem 70 is shown for provisioning a plurality of services to theelectronic device 10. Thus, for example, a first e-mail account (e.g. Rogers™ e-mail) may be provided by aprimary service provider 72, and a second e-mail account (e.g. Yahoo!™ email account) may be provided by asecondary service provider 74. Additional service providers, such asservice provider 76, may provide further services.System 70 andservice providers Electronic device 10 also communicates overInternet 78 via wireless services provided by anetwork operator 80. - The
system 70 includes aregistration server 82, aprovisioning server 84, asubscriber registry 86 and adevice registry 88. Thesystem 70 is shown operating under control of theprimary service provider 72, although thesystem 70 may operate under control of thesecondary service provider 74, theadditional service provider 76, or independently of any service provider. - The
system 70 may also include asynchronization server 89 for performing data synchronization with the electronic device, as discussed in greater detail below with reference toFIGS. 4 and 5 . - It is conventional for the
primary service provider 72 to store an IP address of theregistration server 82 withinelectronic device 10, at the time the device is delivered to the user. Upon initially activating theelectronic device 10, the device detects the presence of the wireless network controlled bynetwork operator 80 and uses the stored address of theregistration server 82 to send a registration request to the registration server. The registration request includes an identification code for thedevice 10, the identity of the user, and the identity of thenetwork operator 80. - Upon receipt of the registration request,
server 82 attempts to authenticate the request and, if successful, extracts the information in the request message and transmits it to theprovisioning server 84.Provisioning server 84 determines whether the user is permitted to provision the associated service by checking the status of the user insubscriber registry 86. Similarly, provisioningserver 84 checks the status of the device indevice registry 88. If provisioningserver 84 is unable to approve the registration request based on the status of the user or the device as maintained in thesubscriber registry 86 and/or thedevice registry 88 then provisioningserver 84 typically either disallows or delays the registration request while the subscriber's status is checked in real-time with thenetwork operator 80. - If the
provisioning server 84 is able to approve the registration request then, theprovisioning server 84 transmits (or “pushes”) a service book (or multiple service books) to thedevice 10 that contains data and instructions to enable thedevice 10 to provision the associated service provided byservice provider 72. The service book is configured to become active upon receipt at thedevice 10 to permit the user to enter a desired user ID and a desired password for the associated service. - The
device 10 then transmits the user ID and password specified by the user for the associated service to provisioningserver 84. Communication between the electronic device and theprovisioning server 84 may be protected using encryption or other techniques, such as transport layer security (TLS). Theprovisioning server 84 determines if an account for the associated service may be created using the user ID and password specified by the user. If the account may be created, then provisioningserver 84 creates the associated service account fordevice 10 in the associatedserver provider system 72 and downloads a corresponding service book to theelectronic device 10. The corresponding service book contains service records such as a Compressed Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (CMIME) service record, for example. - If the user wishes to associate additional services, provisioning
server 84 permits the user to specify details relating to each additional service. For example, the user may enter the e-mail address, username and password for the additional service (which may be provided bysecondary service provider 74 or additional service provider 76). This information is transmitted to theprovisioning server 84 which then attempts to contact the additional service provider system (e.g.secondary service provider 74 or additional service provider 76) to associate the additional service with the primary service provided by theprimary service provider 72. - If the
provisioning server 84 is able to configure the additional service to operate with the primary service, it pushes a new service book to theelectronic device 10 that is similar to the initial service book, except that it is preferably not configured to become active automatically when received at thedevice 10. The new service book may be executed onelectronic device 10 at the request of the user and may be used to associate additional services with the primary service. As indicated above, upon creation of the additional service account fordevice 10 in the associatedserver provider system 72, theprovisioning server 84 downloads a further service book to theelectronic device 10. - According to an exemplary embodiment, as shown in
FIG. 4 , aprofile system 90 is provided having multiple programmable profile settings (e.g. Loud, Discreet, Quiet, and, although not shown, optionally also vibrate, LED flash, etc.), and a default profile setting that is initially assigned to each application (e.g. calendar, messaging, tasks, alarm, etc.). In response to receipt of service records for multiple services associated with an application (e.g. multiple e-mail accounts associated with the messaging application), the multiple services register with the profile system using a unique ID for each service record. Thus, for the exemplary embodiment ofFIG. 4 , each of the multiple messaging services (i.e. Messaging [Desktop], Messaging [Yahoo!™], Messaging [Rogers™], etc.) registers with theprofile system 90. As part of the registration process, each of the multiple services transmits data to theprofile system 90 for identifying the default profile setting for the associated application (i.e. Messaging). - In response,
profile system 90 initially assigns the default profile setting to each of the multiple services pending receipt of profile setting data whereupon individual programmable profile settings are assigned to respective ones of the multiple services. - As shown in
FIG. 5 , auser interface 92 is provided for entering profile setting data. By highlighting and then clicking any of the services (Messaging [Desktop] 94, Messaging [Yahoo!™] 96, Messaging [Rogers™] 98, etc.) usingtrackwheel 20, the list ofnotification profiles Quiet 28,Discreet 30, and Loud 32 are displayed, as shown inFIG. 1 . The user may then enter profile setting data by selecting one of the profiles (e.g. “Discreet) using thetrackwheel 20. - In some cases, such as during a system restore or after a software version upgrade, the user's programmed profiles will be reset. However, the profile setting data for the programmed profiles will have been stored on
synchronization server 89 as a result of a previous routine data synchronization between theelectronic device 10 and thesynchronization server 89. Hence, when thedevice 10 andserver 89 perform the next data synchronization the profile setting data may be downloaded to theelectronic device 10 before the user's multiple services (e.g. e-mail accounts) have been provisioned. Consequently, theprofile system 90 has no services against which to apply the profile setting data. - In this case, the profile setting data is stored in the
profile system 90 but marked as hidden files. If no service records for the services in connection with which hidden profile settings have been stored are received by thedevice 10 within a predetermined period of time (e.g. 7 days), the hidden files are discarded during a subsequent synchronization process. - Turning to
FIG. 6 , a flowchart is provided showing a method for configuring unique profile settings for multiple services according to an exemplary embodiment. Instep 100,profile system 90 is provided having multiple programmable profile settings and a default profile setting for the application (e.g. messaging). Instep 110, service records are received for the multiple services from provisioningserver 84. Instep 120, the multiple services register with theprofile system 90 using a unique ID for each service record and including data for identifying the default profile setting for the application. Instep 130, the default profile setting is initially assigned to each of the multiple services. Then, atstep 140, the multiple programmable profile settings are subsequently assigned to respective ones of the multiple services. - Turning to
FIG. 7 , a flowchart is provided showing a method for configuring unique profile settings for multiple services according to a further embodiment. Instep 200,profile system 90 is provided having multiple programmable profile settings. Instep 210, profile setting data is downloaded to theelectronic device 10 fromsynchronization server 89. Instep 220, service records are received for the multiple services from provisioningserver 84. Instep 230, the multiple services register with theprofile system 90 using a unique ID for each service record. Instep 240, the multiple services register with theprofile system 90 using a unique ID for each service record. Then, at step 250, the multiple programmable profile settings are assigned to respective ones of the multiple services. - Referring to
FIG. 8 , another exemplary embodiment is shown. According to this embodiment, a profiles application is accessed by highlighting and clicking aprofiles icon 292 from amenu 294. By highlighting theprofiles icon 292 prior to clicking, the active profile may be viewed at the lower portion of theLCD display 14. As indicated, the active profile is “Normal”. Selection of theprofiles icon 292 launches aprofiles submenu 296, which includes a list of selectable profiles, as shown inFIGS. 9 and 10 . The list includes both pre-set profiles and user-created profiles, such as “Gfff”. From the profiles submenu 296, the user may select and apply an alternate profile or edit the parameters of the current profile by selecting “Advanced . . . ”. - Selection of the advanced option launches another
profiles submenu 298, which is shown inFIG. 11 . In order to edit the settings in the current profile, the user highlights and clicks the profile to launch an applicationprofile selection submenu 300, which is shown inFIG. 12 . The applicationprofile selection submenu 300 includes a list of applications for which profile settings may be programmed (e.g. calendar, messaging, tasks, phone, etc). As shown, the list of application profiles includes multiple messaging profiles: Messages[Desktop] 302, Messages[Email] 304 and Messages[Web Client] 306. Each of these messaging profiles corresponds to a different email account. - The Messages[Desktop]
profile 302 corresponds to an email account that is hosted on a company server. The Messages[Email] and Messages[Web Client] profiles 304 and 306, respectively, correspond to email accounts that are hosted by primary 72, secondary 74 orother service providers 76. Some examples ofservice providers - In some cases, the bracketed text identifying the
message profile application selection submenu 300, the messaging application corresponding to a Yahoo!™ email account will appear as Messages[Yahoo!™], as shown inFIG. 5 . The name that is provisioned to the email account (eg. Yahoo!™) is determined by the contents of the provisioned CMIME service record that is forwarded to theelectronic device 10 when the email account is set up. Thedevice 10 retrieves the name from the CMIME record for display. The name is determined by the service provider at the time the CMIME record is sent to thedevice 10. - In order to change the profile settings for any of the messaging applications, the user highlights and clicks the
message profile FIG. 13 , the profile options for Messages[Desktop] 304 specifies how theelectronic device 10 will behave in response to receipt of an email message from the email account associated with that profile. Since all devices fit into a protective cover or holster, separate settings are provided fordevices 10 in the holster anddevices 10 out of the holster. For users who do not use a holster, the out of the holster settings apply at all times. - The profile options include tune, volume, number of beeps, repeat notifications and number of vibrations. It is also possible to specify whether or not you wish to be notified of the arrival a new email message during a phone call. According to the profile of
FIG. 13 , when in the holster, the device will vibrate a single time and theLED indicator 18 will flash upon receipt of a new email message from the account associated with the Messages[Desktop]profile 304. As indicated, no notification will be provided when the device is out of the holster. - The CMIME records associated with each email address further optionally include a default profile. If no default profile is provided, a device default profile is adopted.
- In order to navigate through the various menus and make selections, a selection device such as a trackball, which allows movement along two axes and also acts as an input key when depressed, may be used. It will be appreciated by a person skilled in the art that the trackball may be used in any of the exemplary embodiments described herein. Alternately,
trackwheel 20, which is shown inFIG. 1 , or another suitable selection device may be used. - While the embodiment described herein is directed to a particular implementation for configuring unique profile settings for multiple services, it will be understood that the steps described hereinabove are not limited to the order in which they are described. The steps described can be performed in any suitable order as may occur to those skilled in the art.
- Many other modifications and variations may occur to those skilled in the art. All such modifications arid variations are believed to be within the sphere and scope of the present application.
